I was driving around Columbia one day, and saw a sign for a CompUSA going out of business sale. On my way to the CompUSA, I saw another sign for a Hollywood Video going out of business sale. I got great deals at each place, however, the countenance of the workers was unusual, because they were losing jobs they weren't excited about in the first place, but they know that the faster they sold stuff, the sooner they'd stop getting paid.
Something just occurred to me about Curious George. Curious George's friend is The Man with the Yellow Hat, but The Man is wearing yellow pants and a yellow shirt, too.
It turned out that the Hollywood Video was five miles from where I saw the sign indicating the going out of business sale. I stopped in at the library to look it up on Google maps. While there, I got a cup of coffee from the vending machine. I don't like paying for coffee when I'm out, because I can make it for so much cheaper at home, but I always get coffee from a vending machine, even if I don't need the caffeine. I like watching a robot make coffee for me.
At Hollywood Video, as I was browsing the racks, I heard a middle-aged woman gasp with excitement: I looked to see her pick up a copy of "Holiday".
I prepared a pizza bagel at home in the toaster oven, and melted cheese dripped through the annulus of the bagel. There needs to be a word for this annulus cheese.
I hate washing my hands while wearing a jacket, because of what I call the wet-hand-loose-sleeve problem. If I angle my hands down, my sleeves slip down, and get wet from my hands. If I angle my hands up, the water drips down my elbows, inside the jacket. I lament my inability to remember to pull up my sleeves before going to the bathroom.
I don't get the American drive to combine things. At a discount store, I saw an Easter-themed travel checkers set, in which the checkers were pegs shaped like carrots. I also don't get strawberry-kiwi juice or four cheese pizza--one cheese is enough.
Some people are mostly vegetarian, but they eat fish. I want to be the sort of person who's mostly vegetarian, but also eats whales.
Why did I buy Gattaca? It was only $5 in the Wal*Mart Bargain Bin. I haven't watched it, and I've owned the DVD for two years now.
I think there ought to be a dentist clinic funded primarily by the loose change that falls out of people's pockets when tilted back at an odd angle in the dentist's chair.
I think it would be great if there were car racks for bikes, so you can take your car with you on the bike trail.
Slinkies are great for people like me who can't juggle.
I can't help but feel a little culpable in your ownership of Gattaca. Sorry.
ReplyDeletesome of the transitions seem a little "forced"...i liked the parts about watching a robot make coffee, watching your hands, and slinkies
ReplyDeleteOh, Alex.
ReplyDelete^-meant in a good way
whales, huh?
ReplyDeleteGattaca's not bad.
I'd have thought you could juggle.
It cannot be avoided - are you a Hedberg fan?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am a Hedburg fan. That you would ask that after reading this post, I take as a great compliment.
ReplyDeleteSome of them could have come straight from a set i think.
ReplyDeleteI hope I didn't steal jokes. I just checked, and couldn't find any on the web. I'll double check?
ReplyDeleteWeston,
ReplyDeleteThere are no Hedberg jokes in this post. When accusing someone of lifting material, please cite sources next time.
