Back To Basics

So, you say you can't make up your mind who to vote for this November? Perhaps you should come at it from a different direction.  You know, change your perspective.  Forget about all the rhetoric.  Break it right down to the basics. 


Like...

A change in November would feel almost as good as a
brand new blade in my razor.

I'd like a fun theory for broccoli and Brussels sprouts, please... 

 

Go Refigure

I'd dare say most everyone who heard Clint Eastwood in the Chrysler ad during halftime of the Super Bowl last February figured he was endorsing Barack Obama for a second term.  Well, we all gotta refigure.  During a private Republican fundraiser Friday night, Mr. "Dirty Harry" endorsed Mitt Romney for President. He told the 325 attending the fundraiser, "Now more than ever we need Gov. Romney.  I'm going to be voting for him".

Whatever Tickles Your Toot-Toot

There are people who like trains and then there are people who really like trains, especially when bells ring and horns blow...

Idiot

                    This is a chair.                                                                                                                                                               
That's all right. Go ahead and call me an idiot.  That's the subject of this posting.  But I kid you not.  This is a chair invented by a guy by the name of Kunzler and it's called a "LimbIC".  Here is a portion of the article describing Mr. Kunzler's reason for inventing this "chair"...






Why does furniture force us to sit still? Dr. Patrik Künzler believes chairs should instead encourage small but constant motions that are good for the body. He spent six years developing a product to challenge the convention that a comfortable chair should have a flat seat and a back.  The longest Künzler has sat in one is 16 hours, including getting up to eat and use the restroom.  The $8,500 LimbIC chair, released in 2011, incorporates ergonomics and neuroscience to stimulate not just the body, but also the emotions. 


My idiot opinions...


1.  Idiot...Furniture does not force people to sit still.  People force people to sit still.  Have you ever seen a two-year-old sit still in a chair for more than ten seconds because the chair made him do it?


2.  Idiot...I'm gonna pay $8,500 for a chair that "encourages constant motion"?  I don't think so.  When I sit down, it's usually because I'm tired of standing up and I want to sit down and rest.


3.  Idiot...Would anyone please let me know the last time they sat in a chair for sixteen hours?


4.  Idiot...I'm a 66 year old heart attack survivor and I should own a chair that "stimulates not just the body, but also the emotions"?  I don't even want to think about it.  I'd be a dead idiot.


5.  And finally.  Do you really think this looks comfortable...

A "Family Values" Meal Day

I made three trips to Chick-fil-A on Wednesday.  This is Charleston, WV and this is what I saw...



10:00 AM
Waiting in line for breakfast.


1:00 PM
Waiting in line to go inside.
(I just checked the local weather)
"92...feels like 102"


1:00 PM
Waiting in line for drive-thru.
Kind of odd though.  Plenty of empty parking spaces.  
Oh.  Just looked over my shoulder.
Walmart parking lot across the street is full.


5:00 PM
Good people having a good time.


I almost forgot.
The scene next door during one of my trips.
