Myth Buster


My friend and I recently had a debate on whether this exists. I told her it did, and she said, "White frosting? You mean, vanilla? I think it always says vanilla on the can. Or cream cheese." And I said, "No no no, they do have just a 'white', as wonderful a flavor descriptor as that is."

Here it is, people. Create an opportunity for yourself to taste "white".

dummkopf

There're many phrases for someone who either isn't smart or right in the head. For example:

"lost his marbles",
"the engine's running but no one's behind the wheel",
"a few cards short of a full deck",
"bats in the belfry",

boxes of rocks, sharpest knives, brightest bulbs... yadda yadda. Some of these phrases date back before medieval England. However, we still have Cletuses and Jane Eyres in the modern age, so kind soul that I am, I thought I'd come up with a 21st century phrase.

"Low on Minutes."

You heard it here first.

The Gores

Awww... the Gores broked up... poor Al and Tipper. Al comes off as such a dad, it's weird to think of him as a swingin' single... but pretty soon, he'll be ready to crack open some other woman's "lockbox." I can see him prepping for dates, listening to Saga's "On the Loose" on his cassette deck.

"No one can stop us now... tonight - we're - on- the - loose..."

For some reason, I'm nervous to actually eat here.

vanity plates

So, I've been thinking about vanity license plates lately. Generally, my consensus boils down to a simple equation:

vanity plate = douche bag

However, I like to parody the things other people enjoy (NJOY?)... so, naturally I must also ponder what kind of vanity plate I'd get if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Here are some contenders:

ME N CAR (gotta love the obvious)

MCMXCVI (1996 in roman numerals. Funny? No. But imagine the confusion and car accidents I could cause)

BADRVR

STOLEN

DUH (eloquent!!)

HONK

no "whats"

I have a comment section where you can pick "what??" to indicate back to me when I've fell completely off the random wagon. To-date, I have no "what??" scores. I guess that means I make more sense than I thought. (or no one is reading these)

See, Dr. Carpenter? I'm ready to leave the halfway house.

execs

Confucius may or may not agree, but *I* say - senior business leaders shouldn't talk about the "low-hanging fruit" while wearing tight pants.
