Today….. There shall be pants. Let it be known throughout the land! Let the trumpeters sound the call! A new era of peace has begun!
I like to think that when astronauts on the International Space Station fart, the whole thing moves an inch in the appropriate direction.
Whenever I hear Davos mentioned, all I can think is Davros from Doctor Who. He never attended economic forums.
I face a life-altering decision in the next few days. What kind of cake to have on my birthday. I can do this. I can do this. Courage.

Ahhhh, the immature and brainless reactions of Obama haters to the SOTU speech abound on the Net today. There’s an unending flow of bile, childish name calling, ad hominem attacks and indignation over meaningless things. I’m shopping for plans to build a moat and wall around my house to ward off the teeming hordes of the stupid. Start heating up the cauldrons of oil! Archers to the...
Save yourself some money. Buy an iPhone/iTouch and a magnifying glass. There. Instant iPad.
So far, iTablet is like my fujitsu t4220 tablet PC but shinier and with touch.
The iPad. With wings?
If you can’t say something nice about someone, you probably also have a blog somewhere reflecting that fact.
When you can take the pebble from my hand, it will be time for you to leave. Damned if I know what job you’ll get with that skill though.

Style usually wins over substance but style was just revealed to have been utilizing steroids during the height of its career.
.@rachelsklar That iTablet will make all the buildings in Haiti re-construct themselves and US unemployment shrink to only 4%! Or not?
This just in: President Obama, enduring a paucity of good news, will unveil Apple’s new iTablet during his State of the Union speech.
The iTablet, from its original design phase to today, has undergone less transformations than Heidi Montag.

Apple just had a fantastic quarter. Pretty sure it’s because I bought an iPod. You’re welcome, shareholders.
The words tapenade and tamponade are too close to each other for my comfort. I don’t want any confusion in the E.R.
.@Just_Alison Whatchya gonna do with all them mumps? All them mumps and all them bumps. Yo mumps. Yo mumps. Yo lovely lady mumps.
Hooray for sporting event outcome!
Dear Interweb-making peoples, You all really need to get together and settle on what Next and Previous mean at the bottom of pages.
RT @mental_floss: “Mahna Mahna” was first used in the 1968 pseudo-documentary “Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso”—a film about sexuality in Sweden.
I don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t use hockey organ vamps at figure skating competitions.
I miss Conan and Andy already. They’re welcome to sit on my couch and interview people if they want to.
While you wait!
I want to stand in front of the Blockbuster $1 DVD rental machine at the kwikee mart with my laptop in hand and just rip the titles I want one by one. No need to make all those trips back and forth. It’s a green thing, saving the earth and all that.

Sub-freezing temps means I’ve saved a lot on my energy bill this winter. I haven’t needed to turn on the A/C at all.
.@natashaleggero Even wittier… correcting someone’s spelling when they’re speaking.
Say, @ElizabethBanks, you tweet just like @chelsealately.
I’d help you with that but I don’t want to and I’m not going to.

Ahh, hypocrisy. Thy name is “pro-life”.
But what’s abundantly clear here is that anti-abortion women and their daughters are easy.
Congrats, Democrats! Way to snatch defeat from the hands of victory!
