Interesting things I have experienced or thought recently:
- A bumper sticker declaring: Welcome to America. Now Speak English. I try to imagine the person who feels so strongly about this issue that they spend their hard earned money on such a sticker, then puts it on their car for all to see. I have no image.
- Driving behind a car which had in it's back seat a cardboard cut out of Will Ferrell (perhaps from Anchorman). The cut out was placed to make it appear as if Will were in the backseat looking out the window me.
- A woman showing her 8ish year old daughter a t-shirt and saying: see! see! Take this to heart! The t-shirt said: Real Women Don't Date Yankees Fans. Ok, this one isn't weird, just entertaining. We train 'em young up here.
- At the end of a panel on social security issues being shown on c-span, a guy from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget said something like: when social security started there were 16 workers for each retiree, now there are 2. I've picked A-Rod and Tiger for me.. everyone else is on their own. ahahhah. And people think C-span is boring.
- How newscasters will go on and on during incliment weather about not going outside... how the windchill is such and such and 5 minutes of exposure could cause frostbite, etc. With their next breath they will throw it to Rodney Reporter who has been outside covering the storm since 8am! Then you see someone doing an eskimo immitation while trying not to be blown over. All I can think is: who did that reporter piss off to get this assignment?
- Pondering why the Syracuse Orangemen's new away uniforms orange with blue writing. Don't you know you're not going to be able to see blue writing on bright orange? Couldn't they tell once they got the uniforms?
- I love that I can still see Sean McDonough calling college basketball games (though I've never heard him disclose that he is an SU alum when calling Syracuse games..) I'll miss you calling the Red Sox, Sean!
- There was a woman walking the track at my gym in regular every day clothes.. including a fur hat and a scarf.
