Chat Log

Here's a chat I had this morning with my friend Rob Wells.

me:  I'm sure they'll call any minute


robisonwells:  I'm sure you'll get a punch in the neck any minute
(because I hired a guy)




me:  I'll do it for half the price




robisonwells:  no, when hiring a hitman, I find it best to avoid possible conflicts of interests. You know, I'm all about ethics.




me:  Why would you hire a hitman just to punch me? That's like hiring a doctor to apply a band-aid.




robisonwells:  because I take pride in my work, no matter how small the job
also, when looking to hire someone to punch someone in the neck, your options are pretty limited.





me:  He bruised his knuckle on my vertebra. We're going to try again.
Much better.






robisonwells:  oh goof
good






me:  But he says he's going to charge you for the extra punch






robisonwells:  but, oh goof also
that hitman, he's such a goof!!!






me:  So how much am I supposed to tip him? These situations are always so awkward.




robisonwells:  you're supposed to buy him lunch

the best tip a hitman can get is an intelligent conversation over a hot meal

I liked this. It made me laugh. I especially liked the goofy hitman. :D

You two are crazy funny. I'm torn - I'm kinda glad, but a little hurt you've never posted one of our chats.

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?
