1. This weekend my brother and his wife asked me to be the legal guardian of my niece in the event of a tragedy. In all honesty, I was surprised; other people worry whether I have the emotional maturity to handle being loaned a copy of the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast Volume One DVD, much less given a child. In any event, although one obviously hopes I never have to face such a situation, I’m going to make a point to water my plants more often.
2. A $500,000 home in the Bay Area is invariably described as a “starter home.” Exactly what are you supposed to start after making such a purchase? Selling crack on the side so you can make the mortage payments?
3. I used to think that I could have chili for dinner every night for the rest of my life. That’s before I made Firecracker Chili in my new crock pot and found that theory actually being put to the test. I airlifted several thousand pounds of it to Eritrea, hoping to help feed their starving millions, and I got a note back from the government: “We loved it. For the first few hundreds bowls or so. I think we can handle it from here. Thanks for the nice thought, but get a hobby.”
4. Idea for a sequel: A woman is declared dead after a near-fatal boxing match, but is brought back to life by a team of scientists who endow her with mechanical limbs and a fierce desire to fight evil. Coming this summer: The Six Million Dollar Baby.
love the sequel idea. heh.
and i read and reacted to the other blurbs as well, but my mind keeps coming (sort of excitedly, i have to say) back to #1 : space ghost: coast to coast is out on DVD??
So *that’s* the plot twist. Sigh.
And, oh, at first I thought the title was in reference to your niece.
There’s a twist?! - dammit!
Okay okay, I dialed back the spoilers a bit. Can’t believe this site ruined it and not the army of talk show radio hosts.
“A woman is declared dead after a near-fatal boxing match, but is brought back to life by a team of scientists who endow her with mechanical limbs and a fierce desire to fight evil. Coming this summer: The Six Million Dollar Baby. “
STARRING: Tonya Harding.
It’s ideas just like “The Six Million Dollar Baby” that are ruining my life. I’d thought I had a real winner when I presented my concept for a new show - “Inspector Gidget” - when out of nowhere comes this Six Million Dollar Baby idea, knocking me clear out of the ring.
I was marched to the edge of Hollywood and told not to come back. For the fourth time, I might add.
As for chili.
eat it for two nights and freeze therest.
$500,000 starter home = start divorce proceedings, most likely
Why did she need bringing back to life after a near-fatal boxing match?
Loaning out your only copy of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast Volume One is a BIG decision and is not to be entered into lightly.
Did you do something horrible to your brother and his wife or do they just like to punish you?
If no one else will do it, I’ll lend you my SG:C2C DVDs. I totally trust you with them, though that doesn’t mean that I think you’re emotionally mature.
hee hee very clever
Thanks to you Greg, I will be humming that theme song all day.
Some slow motion running may or may not be thrown into the mix as well.
Ugh, I have the same issues with “starter homes” over here. I actually saw a one-bedroom condo on sale for over $400,000. Um, WTF?? Who would pay so much for so little? Not us. Which is why we’re still stuck in this tuna can apartment and will be FOREVER.
I don’t know where you saw a starter home for $500k in the bay area. East Palo Alto?. Our tiny outhouse of a condo cost that much.
Wanna buy some crack?
WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE DO FOR JOBS THAT YOU CAN BUY 500K HOUSES?!
sheesh. i need a raise.
