LOL! Well, I guess we are entering the era of "I just touch your name on my phone - there is a number attached"?

Yeah, I had my appendix taken out too. Only trouble is, now they don't know where the rest of my organs are.

Ok all, thoughts on this:
Earlier tonight I get a random text from someone basically saying what's up. Don't recognize the number, never received a text from it before, but I know my number got out from some parents at school and my son is in middle school so who knows. Anyway, after a couple of heys he immediately asks if I have an Xbox 360. I say yes, more curious at this point. Asks if I want to trade, and again, I say yes what's the offer. He says 3 grams. Uh...so I ask a little more and he says he has some chronic. I have to look this up as I've never heard of it. He's willing to go to 4 if the games are good. I assume by now he thinks I'm someone else. I text a buddy of mine who's a deputy and he tells me to call city. I do and meanwhile I keep talking to the guy and a deal. City never calls and the guy starts calling me which I ignore ,telling him my mins are up. I can only text. City eventually calls me and tells me they'll let the narcotics agent know tomorrow. I tell them about the chronic, his number, and how I know he's at his grandma's across the street from the elementary school in town. (WTF!). Anyway, they seem uninterested. I eventually delay the deal because I need to find the brick to the Xbox 360. I figure he'll eventually figure it out that I wasn't whoever he was talking to. Kind of shocked the police seemed so uninterested in it considering the drug problem we have around here, but I imagine they figure it could be a big bluff. At any rate, I made my first drug deal tonight so there's that. What an odd evening. |

Not a great night for Steve Harvey. He announces the wrong winner at the Miss Universe pageant, and then in an apology tweet he spelled both the Philippines and Colombia wrong.

This is socio-political but it's so random that it seems to fit better here than anywhere else.
Accidentally stumbled onto a true lunatic fringe blogger today, but it's the weird spin that caught my attention. Not often that you see someone insist that both past and present government -- both Ds and Rs -- have colluded on everything from 9/11 to San Bernadino ... because they're all Zionists. I've seen Obama called a lot of things ... but a Zionist? Srsly?

My six-year-old is messing around with "my" iPad. She just said "Hello, Siri." Siri responded with "Hello, Ben. Happy Kwanzaa!"
WOULD IT HAVE SAID THAT TO A WHITE PERSON????? #AppleIsRacist

Siri also told me Happy Kwanzaa. She then told me to check my privilege.

While working in Turkey, some US safety rep insisted on putting up exit signs in the Turkish building and put one by the stairs next to the Turkish army colonel that was in the building. He said, "Why are they putting this sign up in front of my door?". I told him it was a standard thing in case of a fire or something. He asked me if they thought he was too stupid to figure out to use the stairs to get out of a burning building. I just laughed...good point, but it was for visitors...so then he asked if we were too stupid to use this stairs if the building was on fire. I told him, "Probably." |

My local electric company's meter reader apparently misread my meter by 1,000 kwh this month. That happens.
Their programmed response? The computer erased last month's reading, substituted the new one, erased last month's bill and credited me what would have been the difference. Apparently, its response to a negative amount of electricity used in a month is to back up until the difference becomes positive. The problem, of course, is that next month I will be billed for an extra 1,000 kwh and whatever extra charges they have for someone consuming a Kardashian-sized amount of electricity in a month. So I called their billing department. I got the guy from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. He kept apologizing and telling me he didn't understand. So, back on hold, and apparently his supervisor couldn't explain to him what he wanted to do, which was wrong anyway. It involved estimating next month's bill, of all things. After much more apologizing and somewhat of an indication that the meter reading itself had been corrected (but not the insane removal of last month's bill), I got him to put a note in my account indicating that I had called and was worried I'd be billed way too much next month. Either I'm getting a free month of electricity or I'll be billed twice as much I should be billed. Welcome to Wheel of Customer Service Fortune. Another random thought, is Vanna White preserved in formaldehyde at night? I remember her doing the same thing when I was a kid, though I think the letters actually had to be turned back then. Google says she's 58. |

Whether or not I can continue to avoid speaking my mind in clear terms on a few subjects before my child finally graduates from high school is becoming a narrower & narrower run thing.

Oh dear God no. That purchase was the single worst mistake of my life. The combination of Hooterville + Peyton Place {shudder} ... words fail me. That was still a bigger mistake than putting in a swimming pool elsewhere.

Too much money poured into it for him to be kicked out this close to graduation. And we've definitely seen the impact of merely the name on college applications in some places, I'll admit that. He's too close to escaping along with his cohorts for me to fuck that up for him simply because I lack patience. He's earned the right to leave with them, not for me to screw it up. The change in administration at the school that began a couple of years ago with a retirement, well let's just say I don't know how long that name value will last.

That is...a crazy way to handle a misread. As a former meter reader, I'm familiar with how that can happen, but that seems to be an insane way to handle the problem. My company will either A) send someone out to verify the read, or B) estimate the bill based on the past six months of usage. Also, I practically guarantee you will be getting a double bill next month. |

Two things I'm struggling with right now. Was Park Overall hot? And, was that dude on Barney Miller a hunk, or a Frankenstein looking dork. I'm going back and forth on both.

Damn. Those are tough calls. I don't have definitive answers, but I think both were done wrong by their hairstylists.
I always wondered the same about Jean Smart and Kristen Johnston.

Park Overall & Kristen Johnston were both hot. They both had a "could get very ... rambunctious" thing going on.
Jean Smart not really hot. Pretty on a good day yes, but hot? Eh, never saw it.

Kristen Johnson from 3rd Rock? Oh damn yeah she was smoking. Didn't wear weight well though, just didn't have the face for it. But in her prime, yes.

Well right, that was the deal with Johnson. I usually leaned towards hot, but then sometimes I rethought that choice. Smart was one that I never thought at the time, but when I went back and looked I thought "you know...she might not have been that bad." It was tough to tell in the 80s with some of the fashion and hair choices (if you weren't wearing tight jeans and crop tops). I think she has also aged better than average.
edit: agreed with the "rambunctiousness"

Forke was hot, but I don't know -- Barnard was like the Jennifer Aniston archetype before Jennifer Aniston.

Yeah, I never found Aniston remotely sexy. She oozes anti-sex appeal to me. Wehn Bernard was younger and the hair was frizzed out she had that country girl gone city girl thing going on. By the time Wings came around she was just sort of like your aunt from down south, fun but entirely non sexual.
I've thought way too much about this. |

There was one episode, where David Schwimmer lost his monkey and she went out looking for him in a plaid skirt and a tight white sweater. That's literally the only time I've looked at her with a degree of arousal. Ever.
