Random Thoughts

Have you ever convinced someone to watch a comedy special on HBO, and they sit through the whole thing without laughing. I find that really embarrassing. It's happened multiple times.

Have you ever wondered why America, the action-loving, full-throttle, 30-second attention span country has a national pastime of baseball? 9 men standing still for three hours?

Have you ever looked at a thread of internet comments and watched as they got progressively more and more offensive? Until at the end, they are both shooting one-liners back and forth. The best part, I think, is that the newest comments are at the top, so you always read the end of the argument and work back down in reverse order, like Memento.

You're retarded. Everyone knows that a Northeastern Weeping Willow far outnumbers the White Conifer on the eastern seaboard! Go read an Audubon book you gay!

While I see you're point, and I must respectfully disagree in accordance with your population study. I spent fifteen years documenting the seeding patterns of the great White Conifer tree, and have written several books about the experience. Where did you get your P.H.D.? Brown? Ha!
