Collective Effervescence

This is my 50th blog post!  Well, technically it's my 51st, but one of the earlier ones was more of a Facebook post than a blog post.  Either way, I am still surprised that I had the patience and commitment (and had nothing better to do) to make this possible.

Little did I know that when I was bored one afternoon on The Ocho, I would create something that I would still be working on months later.  On the same day, my friend, Jon, created thelifesaverblog.blogspot.com.  Clearly, SITP is much better, but I still give him credit for trying.

My point here is that, well, ... I guess I don't really have a point.  I just wanted to brag that I've now wasted several hours of my life on something as meaningless as a website filled with musings and pictures I stole from the internet.

So, in conclusion, I'm glad that I've come this far and I look forward to bragging about my 100th post (or 101st on a technicality).

Why aren’t there rippled barbeque chips?

“Two words… or maybe five.”

If you answer three questions incorrectly on “Cash Cab”, you are forced to get out of the taxi, regardless of where it is with respect to your destination.  There are some episodes that are filmed at night.  It would be funny if during one of these episodes, a contestant gets kicked out of the cab in the middle of the ghetto.

Andy Warhol was shot two days before Roger F. Kennedy was assassinated.

It would save all of the companies in any given field a lot of money if they made an agreement not to advertise.

How do cracker taste-testers cleanse their palates?

The Peter Principle

There is a big difference between being self-conscious and self-aware.

Sometimes I watch TV shows that I’m not supposed to, according to my demographic, just to fool the advertisers.

Why are there green arrows on traffic lights at 1 o’clock in the morning?  It would be more efficient to just have green lights.  (If you are trying to drive straight through the intersection, you are stuck with a red light until the green arrow on the opposing side is through.  Most of the time, there won’t be any cars turning left, creating time wasted at an intersection.)

If I was an astronaut that walked on the moon, I would leave a note to future moon-dwellers.

How is that long-term project going for you?  You didn’t start it, did you?  If you did, by now, you could have accomplished something pretty cool.  You should actually start one now.  I’ll check in with you later.

Put the toilet paper rolls higher up.  People use toilet paper while standing, not while they are sitting on the toilet.
