Things I Will Tell You

several times, with hand gestures

Panties

Hey, novelty panty makers! How about a set of twelve month-of-the-year panties (with appropriate graphics, like snowflakes for January and hearts for February)? It would be wacky!

Diet Cola

It should be purple, at least the kind you get from soda fountains. I mean, what restaurant has grape soda on tap? If diet cola were purple or blue or something, diabetics like me who've been drinking diet for years and can no longer detect an aftertaste would feel a lot less uncertain when ordering a beverage.

Used Compact Discs

If you put your used compact discs on their sides in the bins it will save anorak-clad obsessives so much time and noise flip-flip-flipping through every single one. The information that's on those annoying top stickers is also contained on what I will call, for lack of a better word, the spine.

Diet Cola, Part II

You know those thick rubber bands you get with celery? They could print soda brand names or varieties on them, then the restaurant could slip the appropriate rubber band on your glass when they brought out your drink. This wouldn't be foolproof, but it would sure help refills, and they're cheap enough not to be missed when diners inevitably steal them.

Monday

What with the weekend and all, Monday is pretty much the first day of the week. Can we have some new calendars now?

Back Problems

Doctors are too damn expensive and friends are too easily grossed out - I want to go to the mall and pay a guy $5 to squeeze my back pimples. Maybe $10 if it's been hot that week. All he needs is some hand sanitizer and a chair turned backwards.

A Good Plan

If your newspaper is like ours, there's a free stuff column in the classified section. If I had a big plot of land, I would start to amass all those free mobile homes, possibly in a huge web or spiral design, connecting them with enormous ducts or tunnels. In the middle section: all those free goats, rabbits and chickens!
A Good Plan/Free Stuff [2004-05-27 01:46:00] Mrbigaxe
I gotta go get me a large plot of land!
Swizzle Sticks&Cocktail Monkeys [2004-05-27 03:28:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Swizzle Sticks with drink names on them would be easy, and could have stuff like Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Pepsi. in Portland does that kind of thing. Or maybe coctail monkeys!
Gregorian Calendar and Julian Calendar, I hate when you got to keep track of other calendars, like for some businesses that run on different calendars. I think that everyone should change their underwear according to the Julian Calendar, or if they're going to have an accident, or a hot date; whichever comes first.
Screwed-up link [2004-05-27 03:35:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
I screwed-up that link, the second part goes to the cocktail monkeys, and the first part is supposed to go to Service Paper Co. in Portland. The cocktail monkeys could be color-coded for different drinks, or embossed with "Diet Root-Beer" or whatever.
Yay! Cocktail Monkeys! [2004-05-27 03:39:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
"Cocktail Monkeys", underwear with cocktail monkeys attached would be a conversation "piece"
Wait... [2004-05-27 06:11:00] Hatless Jack
There are people giving away free goats, rabbits and chickens in your area? That must make it a hell of a lot easier to put together a barbeque. Is there some sort of law that says you can't butcher the animals and live off free-range goat steaks for the rest of your life?
Vegan Dietary Law [2004-05-27 08:38:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
If it was free rutabagas. The weigh scale at the Oregon-Idaho border there's usually a mountain of potatoes. The trucks overload on purpose because there is some weight-loss from dehydration, so they get the load weighed right at the stateline scales. Free potatoes! There's a place in Idaho where a farmer has a big field of glacial stones, and he's put up a sign, "Free Idaho Watermelons! Take one with you!"

maybe they could make flavor of the month edible undies...the rest of the month u can go commando...i dont know how people can kill innocent lil animals for food...i get stuff frum the grocery store..sumbody told me once that chicken is really made frum chickens butt i dont believe that..chicken fingers r not real fingers (unless the butcher has frequent accidents)watermelons good full of rum...i just saw an add for bourbon flavored cigarettes...imma see if i can get drunk on them..if i have to smoke alot to get drunk on them i wonder if that will make me smoke more when i get drunk
Good Home [2004-05-27 12:30:00] Annna
They usually say "free to good home" and only sometimes "not for food," but "good home" probably includes "able to impersonate good home, hide already-burning grill."
rabbits? [2004-05-27 13:30:00] Jim
Diet soda is weird and creepy, and not just because of the taste. I'm convinced it causes weight gain, either by increasing carbohydrate cravings or causing the body to make fat out of whatever's being eaten because it thinks it's getting sugar when it's not. And the sweetener turns into wood alcohol! (Ignore the fact that Bill O'Reilly is involved please)

I can see rabbits being kept as pets, but goats and chickens? My next door neighbor owns an Italian restaurant and has a rabbit hutch; apparently there's an Italian way to prepare rabbit, and it's cheaper to raise his own than to buy Pel-Freez. I'm pretty sure he's using the wrong kind, since there are specific breeds of meat rabbits and his just look like the pet kind. You should definitely start your own town made out of free trailers though. And breed rabbits to sell to the dago restauranteurs.
Coniglio! [2004-05-27 14:19:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Coniglio!
The pet kind of rabbit *is* the meat kind of rabbit. [2004-05-27 14:36:00] Hatless Jack
There was a time when 4-H wasn't so big on teaching kids to raise pets. They did teach kids to raise animals, but ummm... you know, just watch Charlotte's Web. That documentary explains it pretty well.

"It says crunchy, 'crunchy'. That would be a good word to put on your web."
Undies of the Month [2004-05-27 14:43:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
You could wear the undies all month, then they'd have some damn flavour!
Oregon is Lucky [2004-05-27 16:25:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Colorado, you can't go skiing and surfing in the same day. Oregon has lots of driftwood, too. So much driftwood that people build beach shacks. The East Coast has Vermont for skiing, but not much driftwood. And no geoducks.
Tigger.... [2004-05-27 16:52:00] perfktMperfktshn
maybe that tiger bunny is where the idea came frum for a bouncin tiger...who could kill a cute lil tiger bunny like that?id rather see a tiger kill sigfreid and or roy...i think if ya wore the panties for a month the flavour would becum a bit rancid...then ya could sell them on e~bay...i think lots of skid marks would fetch mo'money

Must... resist... temptation... to purchase... tragically ironic... shoes...

Failing... miserably... Oh God.
Vote yes! [2004-05-27 17:18:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
I'd get bowling shoes, and a shirt, and a bowling ball bag to use for a briefcase.
Works of art [2004-05-27 17:28:00] Stellargirl
Those shoes kick ass!! You must buy them immediately...do not resist...I know that you can hear them gently calling your name.
Yeah! [2004-05-27 18:41:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
C'mon! Ya know you want 'em!
On soda labeling [2004-05-27 23:07:00] mobiustrip
Did you ever see those little round nubs on to-go soda lids that say "Cola," "Diet" or what have you? I believe that in theory, the "soda jerk," (hee hee I said "jerk") is supposed to push them in to identify the drink beneath.

This is a system that needs to be revised and updated.

Someone please pay me to do this.
Straws [2004-05-28 01:43:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
How 'bout straws that change color if it's a regular sugar/corn syrup soda? Or cocktail monkey's that explode sending shards of shrapnel all over the place and destroying the soda if the glucose level is too high? Or diabetic sea-monkeys that could be added to suspect sodas; if your soda is full of dead sea monkeys, then it probably has too much sugar. These shouldn't be confused with Dead Sea Monkeys which rebuke and revile you to renounce soda-drinking altogether.
Pop Goes the Zit... [2004-05-28 02:48:00] perfktMperfktshn
cola is bad for u anyway....u can put a steak in a container of cola in the fridge for so many hours and it will devour the steak (venusfly pop?) drink a beer that flushes ur kidneys
Happy Birthday.... [2004-05-28 03:14:00] perfktMperfktshn
May 27 1991

Cannibal killer Jeffrey Dahmer manages to convince Milwaukee police that the dazed naked boy found staggering on the sidewalk and bleeding from the ass is his drunken lover, instead of a 14-year-old boy struggling to fight the effects of date-rape drugs. The MPD officers chalk it up to a "homosexual lovers spat" and escort them both back to Dahmer's apartment. After the cops leave, Jeffrey strangles the boy, rapes his corpse, and eats some flesh from the carcass of his twelfth victim.

Gasp!Free Taters?... [2004-05-28 03:30:00] perfktMperfktshn
that would cum in so handy to make ur own vodka or as ammo for ur potato gun....potato guns do work...u can jettison other things frum it as well...butt taters work just fine...butt parental warning: if u let ur kids make a tater gun u will never see ur hairspray again and u may want to take a trip to the colorado/idaho border or ixnay on mashed potatoes for dinner ...also if u have kids that r interested in tater guns u may want to hide ur foil and The Works cleaner too. also if u have kids like that conceal ur powdered coffe creamer in an inconspicuous container coz thats flammable...i use powdered creamer ....i wonder if that makes farts more flammable
Does This Bug U... [2004-05-28 03:50:00] perfktMperfktshn

Spanky the Clown! [2004-05-28 07:59:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Spanky, a Ringling Bros. Circus Clown, got arrested for kiddy porn! Which just goes to reaffirm the inherent creepiness of clowns. Except the ones with the seltzer bottles.
Big Weekend [2004-05-28 16:10:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Lots of beer and bbq ribs--there are at least a thousand Harleys at the two hotels four blocks up the street, they are partying down for the annual "Rolling Thunder" run thru Washington DeeCee this weekend. Ho' bag heaven! Everybody's swapping war stories and swapping spit and swapping girlfriends. But the sound of more than a thousand motorcycles all throbbing their turgid pistons at the same time is at least enough to drown-out the cicadas for a brief while. The sooper mkt. had a new item! Zindaloo mix! It's seems like blasphemy to get your zindaloo out of a packet. What's the world coming to?
Sold Out! [2004-05-28 20:10:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Lynard Skynard concert sold out at Wolf Trap. David Byrne is playing over at the Birchmere, and got a good write-up in the Washington-Post.
Clowns Shmowns..... [2004-05-29 10:39:00] tinkpeddybear

Clown Hunter Shmown Hunter.... [2004-05-29 11:19:00] tinkpeddybear
Yes indeedy I liked it although it frightened me a bit. That fat guy looks like he's dead. He looks like don't have any teef either! I think them damn evil clowns got their revenge and not only killed him but stole his teef! Makes me wonder if they're reaking havoick on that town and working their way to mine. But I'll be ready for the bastards and I don't think they'll be too happy after I'm done wiff them!
Sweet Potatoes [2004-05-29 12:03:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
I have a plentiful supply of sweet potatoes, which I acquired at the Border Sweet Potato Warehouse Supply Company. And a squirting flower, as well as a Joy Buzzer, several Whoopee Cushions, a cream pie, water balloons, and some confetti. The Pakistani clerk at the quick-stop store goes into hysterical laughter every time I get a case of Yuengling Beer, all I got to do is just say Yuengling and she cracks-up like Yuengling is the funniest damn word in the Universe. I wonder if she knows any Pakistani jokes...maybe Yuengling is Pakistani for horse piss. The best clowns live here
Bowling Shoes [2004-05-29 15:53:00] Annna
Editor Sean got a pair of authentic bowling shoes, but it was rather serendipitously.

Serendipitously? [2004-05-29 18:02:00] Hieronymous Biscuit
Someone tied tin-cans and bowling shoes to Sean's rear-bumper in the bowling alley parking lot because they thought that he just got married?
