When you absolutely, positively have to...

Can (thankfully) count on one hand the number of times i desperately had to detour a trip or commute to suddenly "make a deposit with my banker".














Unfortunately, there are many others in this land that have - shall we say - 'less patient' digestive systems.
Thankfully, there is - of all things - a website that can help you find a local restroom!

yes, you read that right. It's somehow sponsored by the people who make Imodium
(it's good to see a company that has a sense of humour).

Especially good for tourists. Although maybe a rating scale might help.

O Joy...another "Earth Day" has finally passed.

To commerate the grand event i ate a salad AND part of a cow (but i'm just one man...i can't do it all), carpooled to lunch AND didn't drink out of a foam coffee cup the entire day.

oh Gawd yesss...now the hapless blue marble can rotate one more time!

Along those lines...we can all help out by giving our 'used' foam packing peanuts to THIS GUY:

Personally, i tend to cull my 'fishy' friends out of my contact page, but that's just me.
(Sometimes my phone does it for me - without asking! Thing is, sometimes it deletes someone i WANT to keep in the system).

But hey, i digress.

...They want to eat foam peanuts - go on - chew 'em on up. Hey, until the next election this is still AMERICA.

==============================

And now riding on the heels of Earth Day is this:


Someone in Japan (surprize!) has come up with













THIS DESIGN for your iPod.

Yes! Show the world you're doing your part to help global-warming by displaying the delicious marbled meat of those horrid creatures that are ruining this planet through their flatulence!
If everyone does their part, we can CONTROL those damned bovine and claim this spinning dirt clod as ours - once again - just as the ancient scriptures claim!

Personally, i think the outer packaging is sheer GENIUS.

Can't wait to find these in the refrigerated section of the local 99¢ only stores! Except then, i'd have to go out and actually BUY an iPod...which i'm not in a hurry to do.

Hopefully, cellphone covers aren't too far behind. I'd LOVE to see the reaction at the local vegeterian restaurant when i place my meatphone down on the table while ordering.

Another sign you're gettin' older...

Heard on the radio today a commercial/promo that is tied-in to the station. They're giving away a chance to get tickets to see the canadian rock group RUSH in concert.

Thing is...it's an AM NEWS station.

Who'd a thunk it...getting tickets to a RUSH concert from a news radio station. Why, back in my day...

...uh, maybe i should just stop there.
