I keep hearing “essential oils, essential oils.”
How do you suppose that makes the REST of the oils feel?
Fetch!
I am in bed. There are cats in my lap, and the TV remote is out of reach.
“Fetch!” I tell one of the cats.
It didn’t work.
… or maybe there’s eleven…
The tenth weirdest implication of the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum physics is that I know the tenth implication of quantum physics and am using it to make you think there are only nine.

At least the movie wasn’t all just fluff
I saw White House Down last night.
This was NOT a movie about collecting feathers from geese on the White House lawn.
SO disappointed.
Multiple choice exam
Multiple choice exam:
It’s snowing out! And there’s the forecast of two more single digit overnight lows. Your reaction is:
[ ] How lovely! A little fresh snow makes everything look so fresh and clean!
[ ] Oh, well. April’s right around the corner.
[ ] It’s the final straw. I think I shall take to my bed and huddle under the covers until the Fourth of July. It should be warmer by then, I hope.
[ ] All of the above
[ ] None of the above
READY TO PLAY! Or not.
I love it when sportsball teams say they’ll “have to come ready to play.”
What ELSE did they think the whole “putting on uniforms and traveling” thing was about?
Team 1: puts on uniforms, travels to meet other team
Team 1: “So, what do you wanna do now?”
Team 2: “I dunno. Hey, how about we go out to grab a bite somewhere?”
Team 1: “Sounds good.”
Why the R?
I’m watching Batman on MeTV, and I just thought of something. Robin wears a green outfit with a red vest, a yellow cape, a black mask – and a white R in a black circle on his chest.
My question: why the R? Is that to distinguish him from all the OTHER superheroes running around wearing green outfits with a red vest, a yellow cape, and a black mask?
“Hey, who WAS that masked man?”
“Was he wearing a green outfit with a red vest, a yellow cape, and a black mask?”
“He sure was!”
“You didn’t happen to notice a letter on his chest…?”
“No, sorry, I didn’t.”
“Then it could be any one of a number of superheroes. I guess we’ll never know.”
The nature of movies
“Movies are more than a commodity. Movies are to our civilization what dreams and ideals are to individual lives: They express the mystery and help define the nature of who we are and what we are becoming.”
— Frank Pierson
(screenwriter: Cool Hand Luke)
WORK those words!
“There’s a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words.”
— Dorothy Parker
Some weres need hyphens. Others do not.
On a friend’s Facebook page, we’ve been discussing whether various werecreatures should be hyphenated or not. I usually don’t hyphenate unless it would put two vowels in a row. I WOULD hyphenate were-elephant, were-umbrella, were-aardvark.
Although, as I noted, if you’re a were-aardvark, you have bigger problems than whether your condition is spelled with a hyphen or not.
