Idiomatic Expression

Although the description doesn’t fit me, the undies do. Which undies are you?

Your the boxers. You leave everything to the last minute. Never on
time for anything. And always caring about others before yourself.

Which underwear are you?

My friend Ron shared these pictures with me. When he went away for his honeymoon, his coworkers were kind enough to redecorate his cube for him. I am still pretty jealous I don’t have a permanent cube or office, so I rarely have more than a Dilbert comic up for decoration.





The extended entry has more photos.

In my quest to bring you the best in quality Internet entertainment, I present ‘The Orange’ by Frank Bresz. Frank has started a MT blog, and posted a video of himself eating an orange in one bite. It is pretty impressive. Check out his discussion of his speed eating habits first.

On my weekly trips to Columbus I travel home on a Embraer 145. Which is a smaller regional jet (around 65 seats). It is a lot faster, and a lot quicker than the Dash-8 that I am stuck in on the way too Columbus. Both of these flights are USAir express flights and for the most part I have been very happy with the service. Sure the flights were delayed by 10-20 minutes every now and then, but nothing major, until I tried to go home last week.

The Other Paper of Columbus, OH proclaims, “That’s not bison you smell”!

People that spend a significant time in downtown Columbus will notice that from time to time there is an odor infesting certain corners of the city. I have noticed this phenomenon on several occasions both at the corner of West Broad St. and High St. (just down from the Huntington Bank building) and in the Arena district. I had always attributed the smell to full dumpsters or people relieving themselves on the sidewalk, but the October 24-30 issue of the Other Paper sheds some light on the subject. Apparently the city planners of Columbus in their infinite wisdom combined the sewer system with the lines that carry rainwater. Creating an open-air sewer through most of downtown Columbus.

Brilliant!

If memory serves me, open sewers have contributed to some of the worst outbreaks of illness on record. Of course, in jest, I have told my friends in DC that Columbus is a crappy town. Now I have proof!

I have to admit that the whole wedding was my fault. All of the arguments, all of the frustration, and all of the headaches were my fault for two reasons. First, I proposed to Katherine during a Valentine’s Day trip to Paris (pictures coming soon). Second, I ignored Katherine’s pleas to elope and forced a ‘real’ wedding. That being said, I have to attribute the entire success of the marriage to Katherine’s hard work. With my travel schedule and short attention span most of the work for this fell to my bride-to-be!

The Wedding Industry is EVIL! It is designed to over-charge women who are flushed with excitement over the prospect of getting married (your stereotypical blushing bride). When shopping for wedding dresses a number of shops removed the tags from dresses so that comparing the price of a dress across establishments was almost impossible. This is immoral and also illegal! Of course there are also hidden charges. If you attempt to purchase a wedding dress at a boutique you will probably be informed that there is a delivery charge and if you need the dress in less than three month, there is also a rush delivery charge. Katherine was able to find a beautiful dress at a boutique shop where she was able to try it on. With a little bit of research she found the same dress at an online retailer for around half the suggested retail price with free shipping. The boutique shop was charging a hundred dollars over MSRP and wanted over seventy-five dollars in shipping and rush delivery charges.

The following types of people should not be allowed to use public restrooms;

1. People who do not flush,


2. People who do not wash their hands, and


3. People who fit into the above categories and have urine the color of fresh coffee.

Not quite as bad as the person who left a bowl full of blood in the same bathroom, but pretty damn close!

Heath posted the site Black People Love Us! at DinkZone and I liked it so damn much I had to steal it and post it here! It is one of the best satire sites I have seen on the web. Of course it also made me realize that my circle of friends has gotten much paler since I left college. Maybe if I was like Sally and Johnny more people would like me!

PS Don’t forget to check out the “Your Mail” section, it seems that only 1 in 5 people realize the site is satire.

If there was a TLC contest for cube decorating my friend Paul would win hands down! If you can’t tell I am very jealous of his cube.

I came across this a couple of days ago, and it seems to be very appropriate for the start of my life as a married man. Now I know what may happen if I try to imitate a sitcom and withhold from my new bride!
