Somewhere along the line, he picked up that this particular type of dinosaur was a "brontosaurus."

That's why I never used baby talk on my kids. Not that an 18 month old was likely to pick up all the adult vocabulary, or that they'd understand the logical reasoning about why they couldn't run into the street, but at some point they *would* have that vocabulary and logical reasoning, and I just didn't know when that would be.

Plus, a lot of "baby talk" makes me want to puke. Huh; maybe that's why babies spit up all the time--it's the baby talk that they're subjected to.

John Cleese?

Engineers and Physicists can make better music than musicians and artists can make planes and neutron colliders.

Although Boeing seems to be trying to disprove that.

When I was an engineer, my company owned all my inventions whether they had to do with my work, my industry, or nothing related to any of that.

You can understand that craziness, though, through tough thorough thought.

Good on several levels, but to me the most amazing one is that she's doing that balanced on one high heeled shoe that many have trouble walking in.

The pedophile was invited the the wedding of the daughter of only one of the politicians, though.

It's like "Which do you have on your pizza: Sausage OR Olives." I reject the "OR."

The neighbor on one side of me is an Indiana U fan, and on the other side they cheer for Ohio State. There hasn't been any trouble yet, but there are some red flags...

This seriously points out something that drives me nuts. If a guy can take a hint and tell her "maybe some other time," he might be able to chat with her another time when she isn't as pressed for time or doesn't feel the need to be so wary (like meets him on campus instead of in a bar where she has to keep her eye on her drink at all times). Or, if she's got a beau or he just isn't her type, he doesn't alienate all her friends who might be around or might ask her later if she knows the guy who started to express some interest in the second girl.
Girls need to be on the lookout for guys who are @$$holes, so why confirm that you are one? It's like a 2-year-old's tantrum to say "Well, you're ugly anyway" because you didn't get what you wanted when you wanted it.

Lord MacB kinda was a pussy compared to his wife.

The spirit is not ascending to heaven, but descending...maybe because of the inherent wickedness of 25 mph zones.

Is there such a thing as wetlands with a neutral pH?

The ophthalmologist office that SHOULD HAVE offered free retinal exams, but spell check or some kind of error at the sign maker had them offering "Free Rectal Exams"...

It's a call center where customers are happy to speak to someone in the US when seeking assistance, and not the kind that calls me while I'm busy and wants to sell me Medicare Advantage, final expense insurance, or a home security system, right?

Vegans are allowed to see a photo of fried chicken, just not eat it, right?

He's pretty big...take him with you when you walk into the club.

One funny aspect is the conformity some people "rebel" against is a creation, and they actually are conforming more. "Oh, society is so racist? I'll treat people equally!" when everybody you know holds that out to be the way people should act. Or "I'm so countercultural because I speak the unvarnished truth" when in reality so does everyone else you interact with.

....I dunno, man. It looks like he's about to say "One people! One Nation! One LEADER!!"

Is it bad that I remember Conan the Barbarian responding to "What is best in life?" with: "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women"?

…and that you ditched that perfectly operating gas stove for an electric.

A Swiss Army Knife is like a little sword… might be worth 3X to 5X.

It’s hard to understand step 5 of math prior to being taught steps 1-4.

Did he press the doorbell, or just rubbit?
