.:Observations:.
This is the area of the site where I put up little facts, blurbs and observations.
All the ads for razors are all high-tech and futuristic, as though razor blades were some marvelous new invention and shaving your face were the equivalent of stepping into the 22nd century. Well if its all so advanced why can't these companies make a shave-gel dispenser that doesn't continue to spew blue foaming ooze for ten minutes after I so much as touch the can?

If you go to the gym late at night, as I do, and you make yourself a big dinner afterward, enchiladas let's say, do NOT have a few glasses of wine with it. The four bottles of water you drank while at the gym won't let you go to sleep. Every twenty minutes. I would use a catheter if I had an overactive bladder. (As I wrote this somebody died in the nursing building next door. That fucking fire truck...I hate that thing.)
The Laws of (Brock's) Physics: Law #209
When the outdoor temperature is 1° C or less and Brock has five minutes or less to make an eight-minute walk to class or work, halfway to his destination, his shoe will come unlaced. Law 219.a stipulates that in an especial rush, or if there are onlookers, his bag will fall awkwardly off his shoulder when he bends to tie the shoe.
"Brock, why do you abuse alcohol?"
"It's the only way I can get it to do what I want."
I dont think you should be allowed to put lights on your house if it never has snow on it.

Am I the only one?
I visualize any suppposed event that took place between roughly 1890 and 1955 as happening in black and white. Because all photographs and films of that period are in grayscale, I have difficulty imagining that there was any color at all in the world. In my mind, for the first thirty years of my grandmother's life, she existed in, and saw nothing but black and white. For everything before and after that period, I've mainly seen color films, documentaries and paintings, so those events appear in color in my mind.
Did you know?
Ever get a gift receipt with a gift from JC Penney and wondered how much that gift cost? JCP uses a fairly simple system for encoding price-paid information: the QWERTY keyboard. On a gift reciept where one would normally find the price, one instead finds a string of letters like ROOU. If you were to look at the numbers above those letters on a keyboard you would find that the price paid was $49.97. I wonder how many other retailers use this system. To find out, you should all buy me gifts.
Where the links come from
I don't know how many times I've been asked where I find the shit I find on the internet. 80% of my "Links" come from four sites that I check more often than is worthwhile or even advisable:
reddit.com |
boingboing.net |
neatorama.com |
rocketboom.com

Etymology/Genealogy
The mostly likely origin of the word "Yankee" is the Dutch "Janke," which means little Jon. Based on this we can make the deduction that Daddy Yankee is in fact the father of Lil Jon. OKAAYY!!
Memories
One of the hallmarks of childhood is that the only time in your life that you ever mention prunes is upon getting out of bathtubs and swimming pools.
