Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately:

1) The word "testify" more than likely does not have any relevancy to a man's testicles, which has me kind of sad, as I wanted to use it as Wednesday Wolf, but didn't have enough evidence that it's factual. I'm bummed by this, as I'd really like to be able to use the female counterpart "Boobify!" to indicate my strong agreement with someone else.

2) I'm a red meat eater, we're talking like velociraptor levels. I've got it in my head that I want to know how many cows I've eaten in my lifetime. I think I'm hitting herd levels.

3) The brain is an amazing thing. It makes your mouth have knee-jerk reactions. When I was potty-training my youngest, I had a student come up to the circulation desk and ask me if she could use the bathroom. I said, "Yes, and don't forget to wipe." She was kind of mortified. Those random synapse firings can take you strange places.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately:

1) Doesn't the phrase "trained assassin" imply that there is such a thing as an "untrained assassin?"

2) If humans didn't need sleep, we could be vastly more productive. I'm cheated of hours and hours of accomplishments because of a biological imperative. I don't mind blinking and breathing, but sleeping... man, you I've got issues with.

3) I seem to only have impulse control Monday through Wednesday. Everything else is a crapshoot.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately:

1) What's up with #2 pencils?  What happened to #1 pencils? Why do we bother to differentiate them as #2 anymore - is there another kind?

2) My car drove to McDonald's the other day. I was in it. It was tragic. So while I was hanging out in line I watched some feathered scavengers picking up their free lunch, and I had to wonder - Do birds that hang out in McD's parking lot have high cholesterol?

3) It seems like most geniuses were under-appreciated in their time, or thought to be insane. If I had a lot of money, I might pick up some "insane" people and be their patron. It's a long shot, but that could be my contribution to humanity.
