Saw a personalized car license plate yesterday that read: PIGSFLY. That sort of makes a person want to know the rest of the story. Didn't get to see the driver to evaluate any porcine qualities. The car was a new model, but so ugly I wouldn't take it if someone gave it to me.
Watching a bunch of 12-13 year-old boys playing baseball last evening. For several this is their first year of participating in such things. One poor young lad who barely understands the concept of the game managed to stand motionless long enough while at bat that he ended up being walked to first base. I'm certain this must have been his first visit to such a lofty summit. A few pitches later the first base coach tells him to go to second when the catcher had to chase down a wild pitch. The poor young lad became to prance, hop, sidle, amble, mosey and maybe trot in that general direction with no thought of getting there as quickly as possible. The catcher threw the ball to the second baseman who stood in the baseline about five feet in front of the bag and waited for prancing-hopping lad to arrive to be tagged out.
Chatted with a fellow surveyor who told the story of a high school boy coming to his home to pick up his daughter for a first (and last) date. As he drives into the farm yard in zero degree weather to pick her up, the young fellow witnesses several large men in coveralls and boots skinning and slaughtering several deer hanging from tree limbs. One of the biggest fellows walked over to the lad with a very large and very bloody knife in his hand and asked: "Just what time are you planning to get her home?" The kid blurted out: "Whatever time you say, Sir!" The big guy with the knife then says, "It would be best to have her father decide that." The big guy with the big knife was the girl's uncle having a little fun.
Saw a sign on the desk of a client yesterday with the simple, but very accurate, message: Guns don't kill people. Fathers with pretty daughters do.
Read the IMDB biography of Susan Sarandon after watching her play an alcoholic, half-nuts grandma to Melissa McCarthy (Molly of Mike & Molly TV show) in the current movie, "Tammy". She admitted it was a bit embarrassing at an event held to honor her for her work when her 13 year-old son kept covering his eyes when clips were shown of some extremely racy performances in her movies, especially one where she and Catherine Deneuve are lovers getting hot and heavy in the sack.
I like the third one.
