Textual Sound Bites (Assorted Thoughts 2)

• I recently had to transport a mattress to my apartment.  Given that I have a very small car, there was no way to put it inside, so I had to lash it to the roof.  I never got around to putting away the rope I used, so now I have a bunch of partly-coiled rope lying on the back seat.  By my count, I'm about three-fifths of the way to probable cause at this point.  More if one of the knives is in the car.

• Fun fact: the original trade name for ethanol was "Inhibitions-B-Gone."

• After reading some tracts the Jehovah's Witnesses kindly left in the laundromat near the apartment, I've figured out why so many Witness children are homeschooled: they're sweatshop labor, used to turn out the terrible articles for their terrible propaganda.

• What's the difference between Tim Tebow and a Lady Gaga CD?  The Lady Gaga CD gets playing time.

• Have you noticed that the book-based Re-Captchas before you can post some places are getting screwier over time?  I think that this point they've run out of real books and are trying to have the captive audiences of the internet transcribe the collected works of the proverbial thousand monkeys with typewriters.

• Normally I'm not a fan of Final Fantasy-style turn-based combat.  However, I can't help but think it would make dealing with illnesses a lot more entertaining.

• People hanging around with "Free Hugs" signs can be a bit creepy at times.  That said, I can't decide if seeing a sign with "Free Hugs - We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service To Anyone" would be better or worse.

• I'm all grown up now.  Out of college, an apartment, a real job, all that.  So what do I use to hang things on my walls?  Blue tape.
