Dumb Stuff I Have Observed, Part 7
2. The Fluffy Shuffle: the foot-dragging walk you have to adopt when walking in the dark to keep from kicking your cat anyway because, despite Cat Echolocation, he is still right in your way.
3. Who is this Pinky dude, and why does he swear so much? People are always talking about him.
4. If you gentlemen REALLY want to know exactly what goes on in a woman's mind, read any book by Barbara Kingsolver. Go ahead; I'll wait. Uh huh, I thought so.
5. And what's wrong with seeing ghosts? If they're around, it wouldn't be so bad to keep tabs on 'em.
6. 65 degrees is cold in your house, but lovely outside. 78 degrees is blazing hot in your house, fan or no fan, but a perfect day outside, provided there's a little breeze. This proves that Nature is infinitely smarter than Man.
7. I'm a big fan of recycling, but Soylent Green still creeps me out
8. When you are standing in the grocery store, trying to remember whether you have aluminum foil: Yes, you do. You have five rolls of it, in fact. It's the bread you're forgetting!
9. My best method of procrastination is to make endless "to do" lists.
10. You must take a mint whenever anyone offers one, "whether you need it or not".

Post a CommentGreat dumb stuff...SOYLENT GREEN creeps me out too, but I think that's because Heston was such a lousy actor ("Soylent Green is people!")...good job, Chuck...ya ham. It's a good thing Edward G. Robinson was around to steal that film - as he often did. He also stole THE TEN COMMANDMENTS from Heston and DOUBLE INDEMNITY from MacMurray and Stanwyck. You need to keep up with "Dumb Stuff." Number #9 is right on the money.
Riddle me this: Why do dogs prefer to lie in high traffic areas, and then when I'm stepping over them, they wait until I have committed to the motion and have shifted my weight, and THEN they rise up to move just in time to get kicked in the head and send me sprawling on the floor? Your clever observations bring up profound thoughts like this.
I too buy the additional aluminum foil, but, when I finally run out, I'll never know until I desperately need a sheet of foil. Very droll.
Funny! My to-do lists are endless - but at least they have some check-offs on them. :O)
You have a real niche here.
And the dumb stuff goes on...
Soylent green creeps me out, too, lol :)Sheri
Bat -- hilarious picture! Do you know the flamingo chauffeur personally?
Bat, you're right about the mint because it might be a hint, did you notice if they squint, and curl their upper lip-- I mean lint?
Ya know, you've observed a lot of dumb stuff. You might want to try corrective lenses... ;)
