Another Bright Idea

According to Sheryl Crow, the 45-year-old singer, we can curb global warming by limiting the amount of toilet tissue we use to only one square, except on those occasions when 2 or 3 may be needed because of pesky body waste.

Wh-what!

Hell, this morning alone I used 30 or 40 squares in just one sitting. I guess my waste is just more pesky than most. Saving trees by reducing the amount of toilet tissue we use is, well, a crappy idea. Sheryl revealed this stunning and insightful ecologic breakthrough on her blog along with several other suggestions to fight global warming and stop the destruction of the world as we know it. Among her other bright ideas is a removable “dining sleeve” to wipe your greasy mouth with instead of using paper napkins, and a reality show geared on which the winner would be the person who lives the “greenest” lifestyle.

What can I say but, Brilliant!

In the spirit of Ms. Crow’s blog, I would like to make a few suggestions to her of my own:

1. Stop selling your CD’s. CD’s are made of plastic and other materials that require refining and manufacturing processes that pollute the air and create hydrocarbons. Your CD’s are killing the environment!

2. Stop flying anywhere. Airplanes are jet fuel hogs and increase our dependency on fossil fuels which dump toxins and poisons into our air and kill the environment!

3. Stop appearing on television. Televisions require complex manufacturing processes that – you guessed it – emit toxins and kill the environment.

4. Stop talking. Talking causes you to exhale more carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas that causes global warming which is – all together now – killing the environment.

5. Don’t eat broccoli. Broccoli is a vegetable that is known to cause gas in the digestive system. This gas is essentially methane which, like carbon dioxide, is a greenhouse gas and – right side of the room – is killing – now the left side of the room – the environment.

I believe Rush Limbaugh said it best this afternoon, “If you only use one square of toilet tissue, the only thing you are likely to attract is flies!”

Ain't That a Kick in the Pants

After three years of dedicated service, my most recent employer decided it was time to part ways. This after arriving home on a Saturday afternoon from a week-long business trip to the happy-time town of Miamisburg, OH. So, back into the roiling waters of the job market I go. Anyone need a moderately talented trainer skilled in needs analysis, scope preparation, curriculum development and course facilitation?

He's Baaaaaaack!

After a long absence, I am back and blogging about the things that get my goat, raise my interest and keep me from slumbering at night. With all that is happening in this wacky world we live in, I am sure there will be plenty to write about. Watch for articles about politics, news, food, drink, deals, etc. Its like your on-line home for a "Today" show-like experience only snarkier. For now, peruse some of the older (OK, very old) posts on this blog to get an idea of what I have in store for you. You will soon find yourself embroiled in wild rants, questionable raves and challenging discussion. Can you dig it?

Welcome

Ever step out of your house early in the morning, sniff the cool, moist air of the new day and just know that everyone, everywhere is out to get you? Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night, sweating, breathing hard, your heart pounding in your chest from a particularly vivid dream involving alien abduction, leisure suits, and fruit cocktail? Have you ever gone to the grocery store gotten a cart with a jittery wheel, fantasized about the produce, wondered if the surveillance cameras saw you stuff the rump roast down your shorts, and tried to purchase beer with food stamps? Me either. I was just wondering. Welcome to my blog. I plan to use this little slice of the Internet to post some of my random thoughts. I'll post reviews of restaurants, movies, and anything else I feel like reviewing. I'll post travelogues with info about trips I have taken, places I have seen, and people I have met. I'll post rants about politics, the economy, public figures, and p...
