Words of Wisdom

Yes, yes. Late gambit. I know. I'd tell you that I've had five meetings already today, but I don't think you really care. The creativity tank is pretty empty, unfortunately, and I've got a morning's worth of e-mail to catch up on, so you're gonna get fluff. Just remember how much you pay to read simpleprop content. :)

So, without further adoooooo...

Wade's Bits of Wisdom That He's Picked Up in the Past Day or So

• No matter how careful you are, if you use a carpet knife for more than five minutes you're bound to slice your finger at some point.
• Peeling an orange using a finger recently sliced with a carpet knife is not advisable.
• KFAN's Common Man is back to being entertaining, after a multi-year hiatus. I've tuned in a handful of times over the past week and discovered he's no longer bitter about his brother and sister getting canned in 2001.
• Cutting out buffalo wings from one's diet has an astounding affect in reducing one's "great big fat person" content.
• I'm tired of hearing about Terrell Owens, and there are still eleven days until the Super Bowl.
• Relatedly, until Al pointed it out yesterday, I had no idea how bad we were at predicting NFL playoff games. Him: Falcons v. Colts. Me: Vikings v. Steelers. Wheeeew-wee.
• I need a bigger snowblower. Trying to use an electric snowblower that can accurately be described as "cute" to clear 7+ inches of snow is foolish. Thankfully a neighbor took pity on me and brought his 5000 horsepower beast over to help. At first I was offended that he'd see me as a damsel in distress.. then I realized he shaved at least an hour off of my work. Kudos to him.
• I really liked Johnny Carson. At one point my life I actually stayed up past 9:30 and watched his monologue each night. It's strange... but I sometimes liked it better when a joke fell flat-- Carson's expressions and actions after a bomb about Ishtar were just as funny as the jokes that worked. R.I.P.

Alrighty, then. I'm out like a scout.
