RANDOM THOUGHTS …

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

There is a great need for sarcasm font.

Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.

How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?

I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front… Stay strong, brothers & sisters !

Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

Bad decisions make good stories.

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.

Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don’t want to have to restart my collection.

I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper, and I swear I did not make any changes to it.

I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What’d you do after I didn’t answer? Drop dead?

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every early morn…

It really ticks me off when I want to read a story on CNNcom and the link takes me to a video instead of text.

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet that on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Bud Light than with Kay…

SMILE ---- it makes people wonder …

I’m amazed those are your Random Thoughts.

I’ve always been flabbergasted that I can be at a rest stop on a highway and the map says “You are here”. How do they know? This big brother stuff is getting scary.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

Nah, Fred, you just gotta wear one of those alumin(i)um foil caps. Stops the Andromedan thought waves dead. Triffids, now, they're a bit more of a problem for garden railroaders.

And how come I have to press “Start” to stop my computer ?
Why does my bank manager smile at me when I am not in credit and is a grumpy old shot when he has a load of my money ?
How come my two daughters’ gorgeous friends make me suddenly a dirty old man in the eyes of my daughters ? Actually , that’s true . I am a dirty old man . But why do they suddenly notice ?
Why did my wife’s eyes light up at the words “with all my worldly goods…”

How right your are Fr. Fred.

I was reminded of this just the other day. I often scan Google maps, particularly around Milwaukee WI where I speak to friends most days.

One geographical area I had not looked at before showed me one of the University sites. There was a Golda Meir library shown. I was a little puzzled by this until I remembered that Golda had lived in Milwaukee for some while during her lifetime. I then spotted a Jewish religious building nearby which, of interest, I also looked at using the street level option.

I then continued following the railroad tracks which is a favorite pastime of mine when not able to run my own trains. lol But, what did I suddenly notice at the bottom of my computer screen? Why, it was an advertisement for a Jewish dating agency…
… dear old George Orwell, what a perceptive guy, the only thing he seems to have got wrong was the date!

DVD’s?

I suspect they are already a thing of the past as were the VHS tapes that I ended up destroying after they self destructed all on their own. Really enough to piss a man off when his copies of Traci Lords doing the nasty lost color and clarity on their own.

Rudy
Its not the VHS. Didnt anyone ever tell you that that will make you go blind?

#16

Who got rid of their all their VHSs? I still have several old classic movies on VHS that the studios in their programing brilliance never bothered to issue on DVD. Now I’m told that to be “hip” I should be buying whatever mainstream stuff they decide to release on Blueray, alot of which I already have had on DVD for years, or even hipper- downloading off the net movies I already saw on the big screen. The Luddite’s are looking more intresting each year.

#17

I still have my Sony BetaMax machine and some tapes.

#18

I still use gel cells…

#19

Cannot yet dump my VHS - still have dozens of home-made movies of family including many priceless kids’ school music and stage performances from the '80s and early '90’s. Worse, have some of those on 8mm (Sony) tapes from my wife’s old cam. Yes I know I could get all that converted to DVD and probably will before too long. But some print-through has probably already happened from not fast forwarding and rewinding each tape for over a decade…

Got you all beat. I have a rotery phone still.
