You Can't Make This Stuff Up

I'm starting to look forward to my Netflix e-mail's. They're quite fun. The latest one was titled:

Has F**K arrived?

They were looking for my help to see if the DVD had arrived when they said it would - Tuesday - the day I thought I was getting f**ked, only I got f**k. As usual. Their query centered around having me tell them that I got it when they said I would. The question was simple:

Please tell us when you received F**k, which was shipped to you on Monday, Feb 26, 2007.

I got F**k.
And now ... Here's why those precocious 5th Graders are smarter than some of us...

KimmyK & Sparky: It's a documentary about the origin and use of the "F" word - hence the asterisks. Released in 2005 and just cane out on DVD recently.

I like documentaries, but if I'm not free for the 4 days that they run in the theater, I have to wait until the DVD.

I love documentaries too!

Here is one you all must see. I heard about it on the subscription drive for my local Pacifica radio station:

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

It has been banned from distribution in the US, but Supergirlest found it on Google Videos (I think!)

I am anxiously awaiting the end of the quarter so that I can watch it!

Thirteen Little Quirks Don't Judge 1. Shaking Hands. I'm starting to get a little goofy about shaking hands. When a stranger shakes my hand, I am uneasy until I can find a chance to wash. 2. Door Handles. Likewise. I usually grip the handle someplace where I think others aren't. When I can, I push with my elbow or closed fist. I don't get sick much, either. 3. I trim my underarm hair. I think that's good for everyone involved. 4. Change . I almost never use change. If something is $1.01 and I have a nickel, they're not getting it. Take a penny, leave a penny? Go ahead, I have a change jar to maintain. 5. Penmanship and spelling. A high priority. If you saw my handwriting, you would know what I mean. Strangers compliment me on it. I look at it as both artwork and a courtesy to the people I'm communicating with that they can read and comprehend whan I'm doing. The downside is that I can never get away with anything based on not being able to read my handw...

My weekly supermarket trip is generally odd enough to support a blog of its own, but God (and Bill O'Reilly) knows I don't need something else to do. Last night, I'm standing in line with my usual assortment of odd items, when I see the woman in front of me hesitate for a moment. The cashier had told her that her order came to $124.25, and this caused the woman to ponder, "I want to make this check out so that I get cash back. What's the limit?" That's right - the check . Of course, the cashier didn't know, because ... c'mon, who writes checks to begin with? She turned to a co-worker and asked. The response came back that the limit was $30. The woman was relieved, for some unknown reason. She said she needed more than $25. She looked at the total again, and then started to make out the check. "Is it OK if I make this out for $150 even ? I need a little extra." Which, actually is a question and a statament, but I digress. She proce...

Thirteen Things That Scare Me a Little The Christmas decorations are up at the local mall, but never mind that. Tuesday is Hallowe'en. 1. Any letter from my Condo Association. It makes my heart skip a beat. Usually it's something really stupid that I'm not doing. Tell the people who are doing it and leave me alone. 2. Spam e-mail with T.M.I. I recently got a Spam message that contained my first and last name, from a Landon Nicholson (no relation) telling me that "Your history shows that your Viagra prescription is ready to be re-filled." Uh-huh. My personal history shows that I need Viagra like I need a hair dryer and a comb. 3. When the Boss says, "You got a minute?" He never calls me in to chit-chat. 4. Dying alone. I don't need to elaborate on that, except to say that if I needed Viagra, I wouldn't be worried about it. 5. George W. Bush with his hand on the Bible. I keep waiting for it to burst into flames . 6. My spin instructo...
