Topical Chat, September 23, 2005

First full day of Autumn ... 87 degrees ... I can't wait for winter-time temperatures of 60 degrees:

1. On lions eating 20 Ethiopians:
"My guess is those lions are probably still hungry."

2. On a man who furnished his home with Fed Ex boxes getting sued by Fed Ex:
"I don't think these companies ever learn. This is bad publicity waiting to happen. Instead making a positive out of this, Fed Ex took themselves too seriously."

3. On Nirvana releasing a new compilation with 3 new songs:
"Good to see Kobain finally got up off of his lazy back to write new material."

4. On an airliner that faked an emergency so passengers could watch a soccer game:
"My guess is that this didn't happen in the U.S."

5. On a children's book called, "The Bad Book," that depicts violence:
"I think Hitler released a book similar to this, called "Mein Kampf."

6. On a dog registering to vote in New Zealand:
"The U.S. has New Zealand beat, because we've had slimy rats voting for years."

7. On police officers who mistaked sunflower plants for pot plants in the mayor's yard:
"I'm guessing that these guys may need to put their resumes on Monster.com immediately."

8. On a truck carrying checks crashing on the San Mateo bridge, dumping the checks into the San Francisco Bay:
"I'm sure this won't cause any problems, especially with credit card companies - 'I'm sorry, we didn't receive your check. We'll be raising your interest rates to 75%."

Oh no, that's so insensitive. That's so un-PC. Shame on you. And shame on me for chuckling.

2. On a man who furnished his home with Fed Ex boxes getting sued by Fed Ex:
Lawyers have nothing better to do than take frivolous lawsuits anymore. That is scary.

3. On Nirvana releasing a new compilation with 3 new songs:
Did they do a duet with Tupac?

4. On an airliner that faked an emergency so passengers could watch a soccer game:
I'm guessing it was a European flight.

5. On a children's book called, "The Bad Book," that depicts violence:
You know, if you show it to the kids, they might get some good tips on how to create violence in the future. Let's grow the minds of America.

6. On a dog registering to vote in New Zealand:
In Chicago, the dog could have voted three times for one candidate.

7. On police officers who mistaked sunflower plants for pot plants in the mayor's yard:
Big time... DOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!

8. On a truck carrying checks crashing on the San Mateo bridge, dumping the checks into the San Francisco Bay:
That's why I do my banking online now.

1. Hmmmmm, we mess up their land and hunting grounds.... they're gonna hunt in other places.

2. Lol, the guys website says, and I paraphrase: "Sometimes it's ok to be ghetto" heehee.

3. Wow, more angst crap. I didn't like them then, and I don't like them now.

4. That's crazy.

5. Yeah, but teaching people to be pacifists is not necessarily good. Sometimes you need to be violent to do right in the world... just need to make sure it's warranted and just.

6. Ten to One some politician tries to bribe him with some snausages.

7. How the hell do you mistake a sunflower plant for a pot plant???

8. That's gotta suck.
