Pattern Recognition

A wise man once said: "Don't go chasing waterfalls. Just stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to. I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but I think you're moving too fast." So true.

I just witnessed three grown men, any one of whom could have been Larry the Cable Guy's dimwitted brother, collaboratively grocery shopping. It was like Duck Dynasty in a grocery store. I could have followed them for hours.

Ethan, relating the details of the sleepover he attended last night: Ethan: "We watched 'Home Alone' and then we were really lucky, do you know why?" Me: "Why?" Ethan: "Because the movie was over at 11:00 and guess what Mr. & Mrs. Sibbitt let us have." Me: "What?" Ethan: "Chocolate cake!" What kind of operation are you running over there, Wendy Johnstone Sibbitt?

How the $4,000 'Cards Against Humanity' Kickstarter became a multi-million dollar business

How the $4,000 'Cards Against Humanity' Kickstarter became a multi-million dollar business:

If you haven’t already heard about/played ‘Cards Against Humanity’, then take my word that this game is hilarious.

CAVEAT: This game is deliberately offensive in every possible way that you can imagine. If that kind of entertainment isn’t your bag, then take my word that this game is probably not for you.

The Biggest Obama Scandals Are Proven and Ignored

Sat, 18 May 2013 08:06:38 -0400

The Biggest Obama Scandals Are Proven and Ignored:

“Has this president broken the law, lied under oath, or authorized war crimes?

Yes, …Obama has willfully failed to enforce the torture treaty, signed by Ronald Reagan and duly ratified by the Senate, that compels him to investigate and prosecute torture. As Sullivan put it earlier this year, “what Obama and Holder have done (or rather not done) is illegal.”

…few Republicans care about the most scandalous behavior, and have instead spent almost a year now obsessing about Benghazi. The IRS scandal and Department of Justice leak-investigation excesses are worrisome, but the biggest scandals definitely go all the way to the top, and are still largely ignored even by commentators who have acknowledged that they’re happening.”

I'm giving away four tickets to the 10:30pm Saturday comedy show at Crackers in Broadripple. Let me know if you're interested.

I want to publicly apologize to my co-worker Janice for thinking that her and Mark from accounting were "dirty dancing." It turns out that she was choking on an tangerine. My bad!

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices, to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own - for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."

Watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory with my kids. One of my Top 10 movies of all time. Gene Wilder's performance alone is worth the price of admission.
