3. On the next episode of 24, Jack will flap his arms and fly to the moon. I mean, why not?

4. I saw "Avatar" recently. I liked it better when it was called "Where the Buggalo Roam" (episode of Futurama).

5. Announcer: Next time on "Monster Quest" we'll travel to Las Vegas to investigate recent sightings of a half man... um... Bill, the script is blank... What? Just make up something? Well, ok. 3-2-1 recent sightings of a half man... half... um.... turtle. Yeah, that'll do. Turtle-Man on the next "Monster Quest."

6. As I look across the candidates emerging for the 2012 elections, I must ask, "Who will be the next Morry Taylor?"

A Few Random Thoughts for 02.12.10


1. When you compromise with evil you don't get evil-lite... you get New Coke.

2. When Congress works together America stops working.

3. A man who dresses like a woman but never goes anywhere is a vestite.

4. My day was quite reasonable. It was very voluted. I am mixed down. This makes me feel gruntled and combobulated.

5. No snow in Central Florida. Thus, driving is peded and a bacle.

6. Sting's newest album is the tenth in a series, "Songs that are interesting to me and three other people."

7. Summer 1986. Freed Hardeman College. Tennessee. At 4 pm on the college radio station two songs were played back to back and I said, "That was Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da De Do Do Do De Da Da Da. I am Steve Fisher and you're listening to FM 91." I went to Freed for one summer. I was not into learning. I largely stayed in my dorm room not doing much of anything.

8. Once, I thought outside the box. I then looked outside the box. As it turns out, I was in a room full of boxes that stretched to infinity. Whoa.

9. I know nothing about his administrative abilities but Kansas City mayor Mark Funkhouser has the coolest name in politics.

10. SPOILER ALERT FOR 24:... spolier alert.... ok, so, Jack can be stabbed in the gut with a 6 inch knife, bind the wound himself and be just fine? Dude, seriously?
