Joel, just when I think you can't get any stupider...

In N Out
There's something nice about going somewhere for fast food that isn't so cookie-cutter. It's different. It's rare. Will I drive 30 miles out of my way to go? No. Will I go 5 miles? Yes.

HDTV
DON'T knock it till you've tried it. Ever since I went HD, there's no turning back. Especially watching football, everything else looks like CRAP. Don't be jealous that you can't afford a TV that's less than 17 years old.

Hybrid Cars
Ok, I'll give you this one...

Diet Coke
2 months. 40 pounds. 'Nuff said.

Musicals
Now you have angered the bald one. (Not very hard to do, I admit) Musicals are the ultimate form of stage performance. Plays are boring. Musicals are fun. I hate you and everything you stand for.

Convertibles
Again with the blasting of something just because you can't have one. Ok, in Utah, yes. Convertibles are a bad idea. If you live somewhere that doesn't ever snow, however, they're awesome. You obviously have never flown down the highway at 80mph with the top down.

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
