Current thought: Say "leather leisure suit" fast five times.
My wife was telling about one of her co-workers wearing a leather leisure suit for some reason. She had such difficulty saying it, it took her several tries before she did so successfully. She discovered a new tongue-twister!

Current thought:

Just then the floating, disembodied head ofThis is a snippet of the song "Everything You Know Is Wrong" by "Weird Al" Yankovic, from his new album, Bad Hair Day. What are you waiting for? Go buy it now!
Colonel Sanders started yelling:
Everything you know is wrong
Black is white, up is down, and short is long
And everything you thought was just so
important doesn't matter
Everything you know is wrong
Just forget the words and sing along
All you need to understand is
Everything you know is wrong

Thought (fortune cookie)
Current thought: "You will receive a fortune. (cookie)"
This was the fortune in a fortune cookie I received, misplaced period and all. With accuracy like that, it's a shame Alabama doesn't have a lottery. I'm sure the numbers on the back would have been the previous week's winners. 8)

This fortune cookie was too stupid not to share. The "8)" was a smiley indicating that I wear glasses. I'd been using it since back in my BBS days. (Yes, I typically skipped the "nose".) I stopped using it when a saw a emoticon list saying that the 8-) emoticon indicated the writer was rolling his eyes. That's not at all what I meant by it. — 28 May 2009]

Thought (babies don't take holidays)
Current thought: Babies don't take holidays.
When recently carded while buying some alcohol, the cashier noted my birthday is Jan. 1st. As is typical, she asked if I was the first.
"Not even close," I replied. (I was born around 11:00 AM.)
"That's funny," she said, "you'd think there'd be fewer born that day."
This struck me as about the stupidest thing I'd heard in a long time.
[From my "Past Tips of the Moment and Past Thoughts" page. This was the second "thought" and fourth post overall. I didn't keep track of the dates beyond the year, so the date is a guess.
Later, when we were taking a class in preparation for our first child, our instructor had a similar saying: "babies don't read calendars." This was to express that the baby will come when it's ready, not when the doctor claims it is "due." — 28 May 2009]

Thought (blank disk)
Current thought: No one cares how well a blank disk spins.
This was inspired while I stood in the Newark airport, waiting for my luggage. We (the passengers) stood there for quite a while watching the empty luggage carousel spin. It basically means that no one cares how well something works if it doesn't have anything to do. (e.g. an empty luggage carousel, a blank disk.)
[From my "Past Tips of the Moment and Past Thoughts" page. This was the first "thought" (as opposed to a tip) and third post overall. I didn't keep track of the dates beyond the year, so the date is a guess. Not a very good aphorism, but you gotta start somewhere. — 28 May 2009]
