What do you think is the strongest smelling packaged food?
It has been argued in the past (it was around 12:22am ago) that sour cream and onion pringles might take the gold on this one...or can you think of something else?

I didn't used to like those.

THE FOLLOWING IS WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW> PREPARE YOURSELF FOR AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT SOMETHING POINTLESS> it is possible that in the course of reading the following material, you may become faint, dizzy, or bored out of your mind. If you experience any of these symptoms, discontinue the use of your eyes and consult a therapist. Those pregnant or experiencing back and neck problems should not wear striped, dotted, and flowered patterns together in the same outfit. no one should.

WARNING: I am now interrupting myself of the thought I was about to have:

When the sky was dripping on wednesday (I decided this term is more appropriate for what many in Utah refer to as "rain"), I saw some girl who had purple something checkered boots and a matching umbrella.

That should not be allowed. Purposely matching your umbrella with your outfit is sad enough in itself.

I have to say that cell phones think we are utterly stupid people.
Which is why my voicemail says this...

You have one unheard message.
The following message has not been heard.
First unheard message...

wait, are these my saved messages?

and when you're the one leaving the message (as if each time we go to do this, we might have forgotten how to operate the extremely complicated system)...

"To leave a message, press one or just wait for the tone"

and then after a pause, JUST when you are getting ready to expect the tone and practicing to yourself just the way you will say hello, you get this..the tone? no:

"at the tone please record your message, when you are finished recording you may hang up or.."

Those who first decided and programmed this recording probably had the following conversation after the first test run:
"Whoa that was a long pause there, do you think maybe they forgot the instructions?"
"hmm, we don't want anyone confused, we should repeat them again"
"and make sure we remind them to hang up"
"yeah yeah, good idea."

Last time I called someone I almost forgot I was holding a phone and breathing because the machine didn't remind me.

but then again, maybe we are dumb.

The majority of everyone tells the people who call our phones most of the following:

Who we are. (someone who calls us is most likely unaware of this fact)

That we aren't there. (imagine that--might have something to do with us not picking up the phone, but hey)

What to do at the beep. (sometimes we even remind them there's going to be a beep)

I used to be guilty of this.
But now don't expect that sort of thing when you call my cell phone.*

*abnormal voicemail for a limited time only*
