Sprinkles

Okay gentlemen, let's run over the rules again.
Let's talk quickly about restroom behavior and procedure.

When you plan to use the stall in a public restroom you have to remember only two very basic rules:

1. IF you're going #1, flip up the toilet seat.
2. IF you're going #2, flip the toilet seat down.

Rule number two is negotiable; number one is not!

We don't care how good you think your marksmanship is, we're all far from a crack-shot dead eye. Therefore as a kindness to others, reduce the risk of friendly fire mishaps and just push that seat up. Use your shoe if you have to. Blast it back with C4. Whatever it takes, Duke; just get it out of the blast radius.

Because when nature sends and attachment with the next email you get, you don't want to have to surf the last guy's wake. It's disgusting. Mark your own territory, there, Cujo. Don't make the night-shift clean up your mistakes.

Good. We're done here.

No Need for Speed

They're doing it again.
Those kids who were speeding in TO and the one ploughed into a Taxi cab, killing the driver; the papers are indirectly blaming the game "Need for Speed". This time, they have a smoking game-cartridge.

The game NFS: Most Wanted was on the passenger's seat in the crashed Mercedes.

WTF?!

How about blaming the kids? Can't people be culpable anymore? How about NOT driving 140 km/h in a residential neighborhood? Can we try that out before anyone sues the game-manufacturers. Now, they haven't done that in this situation.. yet. But you can be sure that when these kids get their wrists slapped the parents are going to jump onto the backs of the gaming industry and demand millions.

Fortunately in interviews the police are saying that the game is just an ironic find or coincidence. But it's easier to say games made them speed in expensive cars rather than admit 1) They really shouldn't have had luxury cars at 18 and 2) cars can do more damage than a game cartridge.

Also, notice how it's the game that gets the attention and not the car? Odd, indeed.

Maybe there's a cheat code that will get them out of jail?

Best of Oh-Six

Now that we're nearly a full week into another new year it's time to give a few Top Ten listings.
Normally this sort of review is left to the end of the year to remind everyone of what's actually occurred in the year gone-by. However I'm eager to be one step ahead of every other publication and state the best things of the year thus far. Since we're not even a full seven days into the year the fight for a top listing wasn't as fierce as it could have been. Here we go:

Top Sandwiches I've Eaten This Year:
1. Harvey's Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
2. A venison and provolone cheese sandwich my Mom made me.
3. Peanut butter on a spoon. ( Won placement by default)

Top Movies of the Year 2006:
1. The Frighteners (purchased with gift certificate)
2. Animated GIF Banner Ad on some website I saw.
3. Random blinking of outside street lights.

Top Vocalized Annoyed Grunt:
1. Realized tap was leaking outside.
2. Left laundry in washer over holidays.
3. Headphones almost falling into open oven.

Best Night-time Sleep of 2006:
Category Not Applicable (Insomnia & Too Much Caffeine)

Most Number of Successive Sneezes:
3 times (during morning shower)

Most Number of Swear Words Said in One Day:
6 + (bad mood, no provocation)

Most Boring Moment of 2006:
Was tempted to actually read a spam newsletter as it might have some impact on my social life.
Realized futility of such occurrence; sighed loudly.

Least Favourite Soup of the Year:
Beef and Vegetable from Campbell's (Had very little beef/vegetables. Mostly broth/disappointment)

That's about all of the top experiences of the year so far.
I think it's been a pretty good year overall. Though it will be tough to move on past that terrible soup.
What will 2007 hold in store for me? Who knows... we can only look forward to the future with hope.
Hope for a better soup.
