Happy Halloween

Oct 31, 2005 by Mike Browne in Hmmmmmm | 7 Comments
We've had no kids at all yet. None! What the hell? I know there are kids on the building but I'll be damned if I'm going around to deliver Halloween candy to them. If they want it they can come and get it. I went to a lot of trouble for my Halloween costume.

Seriously though my "costume" is the scariest one ever. Remember Spookyfish the episode of South Park where an evil version of Cartman shows up and is nice to everyone? See photo below:


The only difference visually is the goatee. Much like Evil Spock from that episode of Star Trek:


Goatees do denote evil. So, just in time for Halloween ----->

Stuttering Cat

...you can never outsmart a kid!!!!

A little kid is sitting in biology class, and the teacher says that an interesting phenomenon in nature is that only humans stutter. No other animal in the world does this.
Suddenly, the litttle boy's hand shoots up. Not correct Miss! he says.
Please explain, Christopher, replies the teacher.
"Well, Miss, just the other day I was playing with my cat on the veranda, when
the neighbour's Rottweiller came around the corner."

My cat went "fffffffff! ffffffff! ffffffffff!"

But before he could say "Fuck off!" the dog ate him.

My dad, the veterinarian, sent this joke. :/

Charles Schultz Philosophy

Oct 12, 2005 by Mike Browne in Hmmmmmm | 3 Comments
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the post straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .

Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." (Charles Schultz)

Thanks to birthmom Dianne for this. See you on Saturday!
