Random Late Night Thoughts

Price of a gallon of gas: $1.85

Price of a bag of ice: $1.79

Hmmmmm.

I've never really paid much notice to the price of ice, but these days we're going through about two bags every 24 hours (thanks to the cryotherapy ice machine). It just seems rather odd that frozen water in a bag is costing about as much as a gallon of gas.

On the flip side, perhaps I should be thankful that the price of a gallon of gas has come down to about as much as a bag of ice.

i can has ice maker?

This Made Me Smile Today

At The Car Wash

Why do I take photos of random things? Because I like random things. Random things make the world go 'round. And also I was bored in the car wash and the sound of my shutter makes me happy.


I liked the rainbow soap. I think we should put more rainbow into more things. The world needs more rainbow.


Swishing action!

I do love a clean car.

The end.

Scratch The Economy On The Butt

Where have I been? Hard to say. The last few weeks have been kind of a blur. But while we're waiting for my brain cells to recoup, let's enjoy this educational video about voting!

Quote For The Day

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
~G.K. Chesterton

I love this quote.

It's whimsically inspirational.

Anyway, what's life without a few dragons?

Speechless

I. Wow. I don't even know what to say about this. It starts out weird and gets weirder once the cats show up. Still, I couldn't take my eyes away.

Hey June...

....um, are you okay? I mean, you're here now and it's supposed to be all warm and sunny but it's 50 degrees outside and raining. We had to turn the heat on! I would expect something like this from April or maybe even May, but not from you. You are summer! This just isn't like you.

Look, I know the climate changes and the hole in the ozone and what have you are getting you down and messing with your schedule. I get it. But we're ready for a little warmth down here. I'm tired of wearing pants, and don't even get me started on socks. And these white legs are just begging for a little color. We've all been anticipating the glory that is you, June, so that we may bask in your warm sun while drinking fruity drinks, charing animal flesh and working all kinds of wonders with potatoes. Summer is here! And we can't very well enjoy our watermelon in this kind of weather.

I'm not asking for perfection, here. But if you could bring that sun out a little more often and kick it up about 25 degrees....that's all I'm asking. Just don't make me have to wear pants anymore, okay?

What Would Jesus Drive?

During a conversation while lying in bed with my husband, discussing dinner for Sunday, the following statement is made, which spurred an entirely new discussion:

Nick: "Sunday is for Monster Trucks. And Jesus."

Me: "Monster trucks, huh?"

Nick: Yeah. If Jesus were alive, he'd be driving a monster truck."

Me: "Whatever you say, dear."

Nick: "You don't believe me?"

Me: "Well, what kind of a monster truck would he drive?"

Nick: " A big one. And it would run off bio-diesel that he made himself."

Me: "What would he make it out of?"

Nick: "Whatever bio-diesel is made out of. I don't know how to make it! Jesus was the farmer."

Me: "Um, I think Jesus was a carpenter."

Nick: "Oh. Well, what do you think he would drive?"

Me: "I think he'd be driving, like, a 1965 Pinto. With bumper stickers on the back that say 'Jesus Saves'."

Nick: "Okay, that's where you're wrong. The Pinto wasn't manufactured in 1965."

Me: "You're a geek."

Nick: "Well, it wasn't. And Jesus wouldn't drive no Pinto and he certainly wouldn't drive an AMC Gremlin."

Me: "What the hell is an AMC Gremlin?"

Nick: "The car from Waynes World."

Me: "Oh! He would totally drive one of those! And it would have mis-matched doors."

Nick: "Monster truck."

Me: "Go to sleep."

Underwear!

I've been spending about 25% of my days picking my underwear out of my ass.

That's right. I said it! I am a wedgie girl. It's no secret. I'm sure all of you who read this blog have probably witnessed my retrieval of panties from within the depths of my buttocks.

It's not attractive, I know, which is why I have been on the hunt for something better. That's when I saw this on TV. Sarah Chalke is so much cuter with a wedgie than I am. Anyway, Hanes guarantees their undies will leave you wedgie-free or your money back.

Sir (or Madam), I accept your challenge! I picked some up today and I'll be damned! They work!

Thanks, Hanes! My butt and everyone who has to look at it salutes you.

White Gold, Baby

You know, I love milk.

And I love this guy!



This is the latest campaign from the Got Milk people.

You see, kids? You don't needs drugs or alcohol to rock...all you need is milk!

Aw, yeah.

Pants!

Tired of putting your pants on the old fashioned way?

Nugget Ice

The first thought that came to mind when I saw this sign was "WTF?". When I think of "nugget" in relationship with a fast-food chain, I think "chicken" and "Mc". So my imagination ran wild with ideas of some twisted new slushy drink that tasted of chicken nuggets. I mean hell....Jones does turkey and gravy flavored and Christmas Ham flavored soda for the holidays. Could "chicken nugget" slushies be a new summer trend in frozen treats?

Alas, no (and thank God!). "Nugget ice" refers to dense, chewable ice cubes designed to last longer than conventional ice, thereby keeping your drink cold longer and making the ice easier to crunch. This is the kind of ice you get in hospitals (because it is so easy to chew) and has been made popular by places like Sonic. And, as it turns out, the machines that produce nugget ice are more energy and water efficient.

Well isn't that spiffy!
