Just some random thoughts...

Sometimes I think really weird things.
Like,

Why is Weird Al Yankovich famous? All he did was take other people's songs and write new lyrics. He should get sued for "sampling" the music riffs in those songs...

Why is Galahgher famous? You know, the guy who smashes watermelons, honeydews and anything else he can with a sledgehammer? And how do you get that gig anyway? Was he swinging the hammer down on some melons one day and someone said, "you know, you are pretty good at that, you should do that professionally..."

Why do we celebrate Easter with hard boiled eggs that have been died in food coloring, left overnight to dry and then hide them in the yard for small children to find? Do the kids really want to eat an egg that has been died in some toxic formula and left unrefridgerated all night? I don't think so...

Why do we call Mom's who carpool their kids to sporting events "Soccer Mom's"? I have never heard a Mom called a softball mom, or a basketball mom or a football mom or even a baseball mom but apparently there are a bunch more kids playing soccer.

Why do we have to take our shoes off at the airport screeners? Well because a dude put explosives in his shoes that is why. But then it goes to question, what about the guy who had explosives in his underwear...

Remember the days of the Record player? What did they play? Records right? No everyone called them albums. The we had the 8 track tape players and they played 8 tracks. Then we had cassette tape players and they played cassettes. Then we had compact disc players and they play CD's. I am just wondering what the next kind of player might be and what we will call the things that it plays other than what it really is.

My first car was a Mercury Bobcat... rally wheels, four on the floor, sunroof. Sounds good doesn't it, until they ask what it looked like. The only way to descibe it was, "it looks like a Ford Pinto" in whcich people would say, "oh....."

I drive a box, yeah really a Scion XB. No one really told me what XB stood for, I guess I just figured it meant Xtra Boxey. So you see why I have these random thoughts...
