If you’re on the one-DVD-at-a-time plan and a certain movie can never be at the top of the queue, is it really even in the queue?
When I disappoint you with something I place in the queue as much as you disappointed me with “Used Cars” this weekend, then you may insert “Tron” at the top of the queue or wherever else you might like.
Fair enough.

My wife and daughter are stuck at KFC
Less than three miles from home, but they have to wait for the flood waters to recede before they can get there.

Gimme Two Words
Any two words, related or unrelated.
Maybe I’ll do something with them, maybe I won’t.
Maybe I’ll let you know, maybe I won’t.
It’s just two lousy words. You’ve got time for that, don’t you?

Dear News Media
In the clip of the little girl throwing the foul ball back, the dad looks to me to be nothing but amused from the second she does it.

Also: don’t fucking send pictures of your junk unless specifically requested.
And if any of you designer types want to do a redesign of *that* site, you’re welcome to send them my way. Don’t worry about the whole “unsolicited” problem, because read that previous sentence.
