This blog is a continuing stream of consciousness which keeps me amused, out of trouble, or at least minimally awake and is user friendly, cost effective, and may occasionally make one smile for no particular rhyme or reason.

Day 2


From Risky Business, after being told by a recruiter that he's not quite Princeton material, to a callgirl who's anxious to use the interview room.

callgirl (Rebecca DeMornay): How does it look?
Joel (Tom Cruise in sunglasses): It looks like the University of Illinois!

From Forrest Gump

Bubba: Have you ever been on a shrimp boat?
Forrest: No, but I've been on a really big boat.

A poem by Chuck
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They say there's no rhyme for orange,
For years this did dismay me,
but then one day, I thought of door hinge,
I think a genius, I may be.

I've done this myself,
so take my advice,
pull down your pants
and slide on the ice. Anonymous

Not a bad idea on a humid, dog-day morning. Unfornutately, the only ice is in my freezer. Oh, well. It's still a cool thought.

I finished reading "To the Nines" by Janet Evanovich; another in a series of Stephanie Plum books. I thought that it was good, although the ending was kind of obvious. But then, you don't read Stephanie Plum books because they are great mysteries. If you wanted a great mystery, you would read Agatha Christie or some other author. Stephanie Plum books are more about the people in Stephanie's life; her friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and the bad guys she's chasing. They're more comedies than suspence novels. I can hardly wait for number ten, although Stephanie may be getting too old for some of these adventures. What's funny in your twenties and early thirties can start to become sad later in life. Perhaps that's why it was so easy to pick the killer in the book.
