Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) How did people describe the texture of overcooked pasta or vegetables before the invention of rubber?

2) The best way to cut a passive-aggressive person out at the knees is to say, "Are you being passive aggressive?" Usually you'll get the chance to use the follow up question, "Are you being defensive?"

3) My bottle-fed kittens respond to the sound of my voice with panicked glee. My fifth grade classes respond to my voice with abject terror. I wondered what a combination of the two would get me, and then I realized it would be drunk Ewoks.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) It's obvious I'm getting older because the parts that bother me now in horror movies are when people fall down stairs or get tossed about a room.

2) I did an Indian Mound tour last week and it got me wondering - what if all the Appalachian foothills are actually massive Indian Mounds?

3) When I'm shopping in a grocery store other than my usual one, I get confused and easily flustered. Apparently I need lettuce to be in the same place consistently in order for me to find it. Clearly I would be one shitty gatherer. I could hunt though.

Thursday Thoughts

Thoughts lately...

1) Why can dogs swim instinctively and humans can't?

2) There are three things we know very little about, comparatively: Space. Oceans. Our own brains. One surrounds us, one makes up most of our planet, and one basically is us. Weird.

3) I'm really into genealogy and last night I found someone in my family who literally died from picking their nose. No shit. Only in my life.
