Assorted Thoughts 7: Straight Outta Idea File.rtf In the Holding Pen Folder On My Desktop

• Perhaps it's just my habit of rooting for the underdog, but I'm actually strangely glad I live in a world where a $85 million aircraft can pick a fight with a flock of geese and lose.
• Stimulus: spotting "The Physics of the Buffyverse" at the bookstore.  Response: Shaking my head and saying "Oh for crying out loud."
• Adventures with my phone and T9 predictive typing:

• If you try to type "cock," you get "anal."
• If you try to type "loud," you get "love."
• My phone apparently enjoys noisy gay buttsex.  Its neighbors must really enjoy living near it.

• At a sporting goods store, I saw kits with stickers that you can affix to your child's batting helmet to mimic your major league team of choice.  My only concern is that giving your child a Cubs kit indicates you think they will only ever amount to historic quantities of failure.
• I feel like it would be fun sometime to go into a sporting goods store with a wide selection of hockey equipment and start flinging the gloves around.  When challenged by employees, tell them you're trying to find which ones are the easiest to drop, throw the gloves down, and then attack them.
• Living in a pet-free apartment is difficult.  I now go into pet stores purely in hopes of seeing a kitty.
• I continue to be amazed by my body's ability to, apropos of nothing, sleep for twelve or more hours at a go.
• It's amazing how much less stressful Legos are now that I'm old enough to use profanity.
• Lesson from my life: it's surprisingly difficult to passively brush someone off in text-based communication when your speech patterns involve relatively few monosyllabic words.
• After so many years of video gaming, if I ever see someone shot and killed in front of me, it'll be difficult to restrain myself from my first instinct of running over to loot the corpse.
