hand hole


This box was sitting next to me on a picnic table yesterday. Fascinating.

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.

elevator dreams

My new job is inside an office tower with 24 floors. My cubicle is on the 22nd, so I have to take the elevator up. I'm not really used to elevator culture although I see elevator rides on TV all the time. So I know that, you know, if there's a hot neurosurgeon in the elevator, I should make sloppy mouth love with him but not accept his proposal of marriage.

Umm... but yeah, other than that, it's all new to me.

seeds

If you think about it, seeds are kind of gross. They are meant to be digested by animals and pooped out in farther-reaching areas as a way to propagate that plant's species. I guess humans messed things up by creating order around their excrement habits.

germany

Growing up, I would often hear, "You should be grateful to the young men of America like your grandpa who fought for this country and gave their lives in World War II to keep you safe and free. If they hadn't, you'd be drinking German beer right now."

Probably not as effective an example as it could be... right now, it's Monday morning and I'm sitting in a cubicle. Drinking German beer sounds AWESOME.

foreclosure

If you are in danger of foreclosure on your home, and you really want to "stick it to the man" but with some class (i.e., not involving bowel movements), I suggest bringing over a toddler and have him/her walk around with saltine crackers.

marshmallows

I'm never more tempted to buy those mini colored marshmallows than at Easter time. But I don't know what to do with them. I don't really eat marshmallows as-is - I have a fear of trying to take a breath and a marshmallow gets lodged in my throat and I die - and if I melted them down into rice krispies, I'd ruin their aesthetic. It's like Weird Science - where the nerds really want a gorgeous woman but don't know what to do with her when she arrives.

stubborn


So, I don't know what's more stubborn - the snow that still won't melt in the spring sun, or this guy.
