I can't imagine almost 100 inches of snow falling. That's over eight feet deep, but that's what certain areas in the northeast are dealing with right now.

Recently, someone joked about a "magic cabinet" that dispenses junk food. I was reminded of that by a KFC commercial. A family is sitting down to dinner and they're serving themselves from a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. The little boy is watching the progress of the bucket around the table, semi-privately urging "don't take the drumstick!" ( Read more... )

I saw an alarmed door today. It had a note on it saying it was alarmed. I have no idea how to tell if a door is alarmed if no note is present. Actually, I have no idea how to tell if a door is calm or cheerful or grumpy. Also, what would cause alarm to a door?

According to an article I read, it got colder during the game. It didn't say anything about rain temperature, though. The writer was talking about people hanging out on the concourse by the snack bar and watching the game on small TVs. That's somewhat amusing when you consider how much those people spent on their tickets, though it's also ( Read more... )

I intended to watch the Super Bowl commercials yesterday but I only caught some of them because I was only giving the TV part of my attention. Of the ones I caught, I liked the FedEx one about the Moon office. The coffee floating out of the mug was funny. Somehow, the copy machine attached to the floor seemed incongruous among all the floating

There is an organization with its own fleet of work vehicles. I see them often. They have all different kinds of vans and pickup trucks. The pickup trucks range from nearly new to rather old. I knew some of the trucks were old, but I never really thought about how old. Then I saw a fleet vehicle that I hadn't seen before. They still have and use a ( Read more... )

I may have seen breaking news today. You would think that I'd know if I'd seen it, but I don't. I saw two different TV news live vans on bridges overlooking bad traffic. One reporter seemed to be on air at the time. I concluded that something was happening. Otherwise, why would two different stations have people out there? I didn't see any stories ( Read more... )

Somehow, it wasn't until about two weeks ago that I realized the Super Bowl is this weekend. I was at the grocery store and they had cupcakes with plastic Super Bowl rings on them. Will people keep them as party souvenirs? There were oversized inflatable football helmets hanging over the meat cases. I was wondering if they got new ones every year ( Read more... )

Linguistic ambiguity can be funny. If there were more well-prepared people at a certain meeting, were there more people who were well-prepared or were there people who were better prepared?
