Yesterday KFC gave out free samples of their new "grilled" chicken.

I don't know how it's possible, but the stuff is even greasier than their "fried" chicken.

yuck!

Today I was asked: "Are you not talking to me?"
my reply:

Maybe I have nothing to say.
Maybe I do, but choose not to say it.
Maybe I do, but am not able to say it.
Maybe I don’t.

These are all reasonable possibilities, right?

...and it hit _really_ close to home.

It's an intellectual piece that just happens to have been posted on an adult-themed site.

...The Twilight Zone.

One of the most widely remembered episodes was "Time Enough At Last", which is about a bank teller loves to read, but never has enough time to do so.

He's the only one who survives a nuclear blast, because he was in the vault at the time.

Now he finally has all the time in the world to read his books...

...and he steps on his glasses, breaking them.

yeeeeeaahh. Sometimes...life throws those curveballs at us.

How much farther down will gas prices go?
and how fast will they ramp back up when they do?

"...it was funny..."

"it was?"

"yep."

"oh."

...you may have some experience that you just can't help but want to tell someone ...maybe even the entire world...about, even knowing full well that _absolutely no one_ wants to hear it. It may be gross, it may be lewd, it may be utterly mandosive.

I happened upon my most recent encounter with such an experience just a couple days ago.

Thank you for reading this. You are now 2% less pure without having heard the actual story.

Some people are aggressive by nature.

Others are not.

When non-aggressive people try to do something aggressive, bad things usually happen.

Gambling, dating, applying for a new job, even just driving down the street... it doesn't really matter what the activity is.

Aggressive people can fall into a pile of manure and come out smelling like roses.

For non-aggressive people, it's generally the other way around.

Have you ever ________ with your TOP FOUR

Ever been driving down the road and suddenly a large noisy piece of fire apparatus poked out of a side street about 20 feet in front of you?

yeeeah.

I didn't hear the sirens...just the klaxons...immediately out of nowhere.

By the time it occurred to me to stop, I had already passed the intersection.

...right now, fresh Vidalia onions are available.

Onions are perhaps my favorite vegetabubble, and these are the sweetest variety.

This one was one of the largest I've ever seen...

Tonight's dinner: a peanut butter and Vidalia sandwich.
