Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread

At what age do old men determine that athletic attire is totally unnecessary for a trip to the gym? Older gentleman yesterday morning at the Y was working out in jeans, a pair of sperrys and and a short sleeve button up shirt over a t-shirt. A lot of the morning regulars seem to prefer cargo shorts and those black leather work shoes as they sit on the recumbent exercise bikes pedaling at 1/2 mph.

For all the shit people have talked about Daniel Craig's accent in "Knives Out" the truth is I have encountered dozens of folk who sound exactly like that since moving closer to Appalachia.

The guy running the grill at the cafe where I'm currently having breakfast manages to make even fast-moving restaurant kitchen banter seem like honey butter slowly melting on a biscuit.

John Travolta’s Brooklyn accent in Urban Cowboy was good laugh. Especially his “sonbitch” instead of “sumbitch”.

In 2018, my oldest son presented to an assembly of NATO leaders regarding their joint training ops with US troops in Europe.

Yesterday, our youngest son interviewed the NATO Supreme Allied Commander yesterday on AFN. Today he is interviewing a 4-star Admiral over European and African  Operations.

Can't really say more than that, but awfully proud of the work they are doing.  Sometimes it is surreal, but we are proud as hell, and grateful for their seizing opportunities they have prepared for.  Yes, the younger one gets called "Private Joker" and "Cronauer" at our house, even though he is neither Marine, nor Air Force.

I'm at a conference earlier today at AT&T hotel on our beloved campus.  Only quiet place I can find is the actual hotel lobby to handle some business despite there being all kinds of other areas to work.  If you know the space, I'm up on that long built-in sofa along the eastern facade of the lobby.  Hot piece of ass in yoga pants walks through the area to check-in.  I'm just glaring at its majesty, and I can sense somebody else is looking at the prize as well.  Some African Lion wants to challenge me to gently nibble on the ass-newton laid before us.  I look across the seating area and I see what's what.  What's more, there's an envelope of cash from a bank in one of those white slips.  I pick it up, hand it to the man who was vying for the affections of the aforementioned buttocks.  And that man?  Texas' own...George Foreman.  Cool to see him on campus.

So when 2015 Biff goes back in time and changes his future by giving his younger self the almanac, thus creating the alternate timeline, how the fuck does he return back to the original timeline in 2015?

If you watched The Big Bang Theory you would know

y’all seen the ads for keeps.com?  the new hair restoration bullshit?  do people not realize it’s the same shit as rogaine repackaged in a spiffy new box?  like literally the exact same drug.  they market it like it’s some great new solution for balding yet that shit has been around for decades and decades.

Nope, everybody knows the best way to keep from losing your hair is genetics.  Quit letting your mom fuck bald guys and you'll maintain a thick, lustrous mane like me.  I'm 43 and my hair is literally getting thicker as I get older.  Sure that means mom is banging every Robert Goulet doppelganger in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, but that means I get the phenomenal hair-DNA passed down to me that I deserve.  Seriously, I gotta get it cut every 3 weeks it's so magnificent.

Today I learned that Lobo is Andy Richter's cousin.

Holy shit, I always felt like he and I were related.  Kinda eerie that you searched for that, but I'll allow it...or my name isn't Robert Goulet.

I'm now seeing conservative news, liberal news, news from a woman's point of view etc... and I'm wondering "what about old drunk guys that you meet at a bar?  Are their needs being adequately addressed in this new news sphere?"   I'm thinking of a studio in some old dive bar outside of Waco.  The weathergirl could be a waitress who smokes cigarettes and calls the viewers "Hon."  The "going to commercial break"  music would be a scratchy 45 RPM record of Ernest Tubb singing "Waltz Across Texas"  that somebody picked up at a garage sale.

My employer is trying to promote a silent auction for charity, whereby the prizes of the auction are events and 'experiences' with managers like Lunches, Go-karting , Cooking classes.

 

The hilarious thing is that these are mid-senior managers.  Like the vice president of supply chain.  Or the north american director of industrial manufacturing.

 

Inspiring, business luminaries these are not.  Moreover, these people in specific are extremely lame.  It aint quite a date with Jeff fucking Bezos.  Im just laughing at how they think there is an incentive to bidding for this, and who actually would, besides the handful of their direct reports who live to kiss ass.

Yes. In my spare time I like to hang out doing shitty events with mid management people, sucking up to them, and paying top dollar to do so. WIN!

An event with the hot young chick from MarCom?  Yes

An event with the chief dickhole officer?  Maybe, if you're ambitious.

An event with a 50 year old moustached egyptian dude who wears suits 2 sizes too big?  errrr no thanks

Is there any reliable evidence that a liar's pants have ever, in fact, caught fire?

The one time I tried to make that happen, I got to talk to a couple of teachers, a principal, a school counselor, a policewoman, my parents, and a psychologist.  As much as people say that they would like to see that happen, they sure do frown on it when you try to give the process a start.
