The intellectual equivalent of a ham sandwich.

Today I was driving home from Tomball, Texas. A town to the north of Houston.

I had visited a Buc-ee’s for the first time. I bought a t-shirt and some Buc-ee’s beef jerky.

I was listening to Jerry Reed singing ‘Guitar Man.’

I had my window down, elbow leaning out, blasting ‘Guitar Man’ and chewing on beef jerky.

I saw a sign that said “God Bless Our Troops,” and thinking Texas would want me to do this, I yelled out, “Hell Yeah!”

Quotes of the Day!

Not a big blog post today – just really liked this quote.

“That these acts are simple doesn’t mean that they are simplistic, and it hardly means that they are easy.”

– James O. Coplien

Also, I really disliked this quote.

“Tell these bitches and hos to get in line, there’s plenty of Abraham Lincoln to go around.”

– Abraham Lincoln

It may ruin the sincere quote above, but it’s from a coding book. BUT, I think that’s a brilliant line, and true to itself – it is very simple but a sentence that is clear and frank in a way that would’ve made Hemingway jealous.

Have a good weekend peoples!!!!

Horse

Can’t see the spice ‘dill weed’ without giggling. (What a total dill weed.)

Otter

When he’s in a fight with his girlfriend he talks to a pretend audience, saying, “oh sure, who needs fluid transitions? Change scene as you please.”

Is not platform independent.

Doesn’t know which he has more of: attraction to Burt Reynolds, or fear over his attraction to Burt Reynolds.

Every once and a while says something so poignant and so brilliant – but then you realize you’re just drunk.

Wouldn’t pick Lebron James.

Long-Spined Sea Urchin

Counting down the minutes until the next hour begins.

FOOOOOOOOOD FIIIIIIIIIGHT!

Glasses? Check. Keys? Check. Wallet? Check. Pants? … Of course not.

Loves discovering great, unheard of indie romantic comedies. Also happens to hate 99% of the movies he watches.

Notices you noticing him noticing you.

Mandrill Monkey

Finds you incredibly attractive.

Like a fine wine, gets better with age. Unlike a fine wine, hated by old white people.

Funky. Fresh. Dressed. And ready to party.

When he’s bored he kills time by picturing famous people saying, with dramatic flair, “up your butt and around the corner.”

Refuses to drink Aquafina bottled water – you call that bottled water? He calls it bottled spit. Puh-lease!
