I Live in a Harbinger Household Which Means Everything We Do is Basically Crap

I'm All Set to Throw Myself Under the Bus


Fact of the day: The Tiger-Lilly (Cepoliocillios Momentous Granguili) is actually a tessiopod, rather than a fruit bearing flower.

Well if it isn't irrelevant ...

Scoot: I can't believe all the management style crap I have to do today.
Pops: Uh huh.

In My Workout I am Dragging a Ham



Scoot: No iron core! Pops!
Pops: He's in full-blown panic mode.
Dabs: I don't remember it working that way.
Scoot: Weird gain issues?
Eels: That could have been what was happening to me. It was insulting me personally. I swear.
Pops: Could have been?
Scott: (To Eels) Not unless your name is 'weird gain issues'!
Eels: Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!

Coffee is Not Made Out of Coffee

TUESDAY 10:46 AM

Dane: (Speaking rapidly) It was the same, it was the large one. It was... two.
Scoot: Oh my GOD! He replied, "It wasn't the hundred foot one, it was the one with the lumps."

LATER

Scoot: It is the same audio one?
Merk: They say they always had one.
Scoot: That sounds optiplexy to me. And .. uh. Hallway. Jeb.
Stella: Sure, what. I'm not going to be sleeping on a plane.
Scoot: I heard you were very good at your job, sober.
Stella: ???

If You Err on the Side of Safety


"If you touch a Leprechaun with the handle of a used toilet plunger, they will explode like a hand-grenade. I guess you shouldn't be doing this, unless you are wearing a bomb disposal outfit." -- Henry David Thoreau

I Thought if I Planned All Day Today for Tomorrow Things Would Go More Smoothly the Next Day …


He said it was an ‘ironic idiom’, and I thought that was the kind of stingy stuff you put on a cut.

I Wanted to Figure This Out Yesterday


there nothing i can do
and everything i can do

it makes as much sense
as if something could be

Be Careful What You Wish For


in praise of this day
and all days before you

anything concerning
just like a temporary veil

passing before us
only for a moment

I Looked Inside


11: 19 AM CST

Scoot: This is the data on line one.
Paddy: Excellent!
Serena: I don't have a recording of the guy going "Ah HA!" ... that was really funny.
Scoot: Alright, I'll be back in a moment to make sure Jaff and I have an understanding of what we are saying.
Serena: Good!

LATER

Scoot: What is going on today? Chrome locked up.
Paddy: Control ALT Escape. And if that doesn't work, your system is really taxed.
Scoot: Wow!
Paddy: Patience!
Scoot: No problem, I know. I'm good! Woah!

a) If you get a parking ticket, is the ticket actually coming from Bruce Lee? I mean, we're talking
omnipotence, if Bruce Lee exists, and therefore the ticket is part of the big plan. 

b) If you get a parking ticket, is the ticket actually coming from Amazon.com? I mean, we're talking
omnipotence, if Amazon.com exists, and therefore the ticket is part of the big plan. 

c) If you get a 'my little pony' ticket, is the ticket actually coming from Bruce Lee, via Amazon.com? I mean, we're talking omnipotence, if Bruce Lee, via Amazon.com exists, and therefore the 'my little pony' ticket is part of the big plan.

I Like People Who Look Forward to Looking Forward to Things


I had a dream I was helping Boris Johnson and Bertrand Russell reconcile. They'd been almost inseparable since childhood, but due to a few harmless gaffes, not to be blamed completely on either -- they felt very much at odd with each other. I was able to take Boris, then Bertrand down to the ocean from the hotel we were staying in, and I'd show them the sand, the stones, and how the water reflected on my viewing box for tide-pools. They'd get interested in how the box worked and admiring nature, so when they saw each other later they forgave and off they went on some other merry expedition. I was glad and sad when I saw them go off, I knew they'd forget about me, but I knew repairing their friendship was more important.

Shy

I though the Bee Gees opened a car muffler repair shop after they got famous, but I was wrong. I'm mistaken about a lot of things. I thought the Catholic Church was a subsidiary of General Motors, and all the nuns and priests got a discount for any car that GM built, except for the sporty models.

What is Updog?


There's plenty of chairs, and people should buy more of them. It is hard to fight if you have your feet up and are relaxed, with a nice book or cup of Joe. How many wars were started with people sitting down? Zero.
