ETA: It should have said something about my tastes then that of all of my friends who liked the show and had a thing for Jennifer (Loni Anderson), I was always more into Bailey (Jan Smithers).

Okay. The words snap and penis should never be seen together. In any context. ;-)

At a university with large numbers of some of the best science and engineering geeks in the Midwest and beyond, why are the sprinklers running while it's raining?

Yesterday, before watching an episode of Discovery's How It's Made, I noticed a beautiful typo in the program guide description on our DVR:
Wedding Electrodes
Turns out they meant "Welding Electrodes". I didn't think they were really going to get into making equipment for an electricity play fetish. ;-)

While separately, I do like your mashed potatoes, corn, chicken, and biscuits, stacking them together in the same dish for your Chicken & Biscuit Bowl, IMHO, is just... bleah.

Me: "I have an All Along the Watchtower earworm. Does that make me a cylon?"

Me: "Urgh. If that was the Cylon signal earworm..."
Both of us, nearly in unison: "Shoot me now."

Sillies R Us
Mar. 22nd, 2007 01:52 pmYesterday in my dynamics class, the prof brought his Mac down to show us a Unix app for displaying certain model data. The application is called GARP.
When he started demonstrating, he loaded a few runs of the Global Forecast Model.
So, of course, I asked, "Is this The World According to GARP?"
;-)

Oh Noes! B00bs have Nipples!
Mar. 15th, 2007 05:17 pmWatching How It's Made on the Discovery Channel this afternoon, one of the items featured was mannequins.
They showed the little grommets used for forming the nipples in the mold, but when the finished foam torso shape came out of the press, either Discovery or the Canadian producers of the show (not bloody likely, IMHO) blurred the boobs on the screen!!
Sheesh.

Toilet Humour - Context

NEVER use abrasive scouring powders on your seat.
Owie! ;-)

Do Garbagemen Dream of Bagged Sheep?
Jan. 2nd, 2007 03:20 pmTwo of the trash bags we had set out yesterday after the basement flooded contained fleeces from my sister in black bags labeled Sheep and Lamb as they had been since being dropped off here by my parents some time ago. The trash collector who was loading our trash into the truck noticed the label on the larger one. He initially was hesitant picking up the bag, I suppose expecting it to weigh as much as if an entire sheep was therein. I watched through the kitchen windows as he laughed and pointed out the label to the truck driver before tossing it in the back. :-)
Atcopperwise's suggestion to Toni, as we continue to go through stuff in the basement, we may label additional garbage bags, perhaps with people's names. Toni even has some old dolls - maybe we should leave body parts protruding...

Oct. 22nd, 2006 04:36 pmReading a book on lidar for my term paper, I came across this little nugget (technical details edited to spare you):
...blah blah technical mumbo-jumbo, and the group of lines is called the Q branch.
The Q branch? Okay, then. :-)

One of the churches I pass on my way to my allergy shots every Friday morning had pumpkins scattered all over its front lawn this morning, along with a big sign, The Pumpkin Patch.
