23 Adult Truths

May 1, 2012

Posted to Facebook by a friend. I would credit the original author but it’s been around awhile and I don’t know who it was. It’s rather Steven Wright-ish.

Frankly, it could have been me . . . or you.

  1. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 times and still not know what time it is.
  2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
  3. ?I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
  4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
  5. How on earth are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
  6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
  7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
  8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
  9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
  10. Bad decisions make good stories.
  11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
  12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.
  13. I’m always slightly terrified when I quit Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
  14. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
  15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
  16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Coors Light.
  17. I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
  18. ?I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
  19. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?
  20. ?I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
  21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
  22. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
  23. The first testicular guard, the “Cup,” was used in hockey in 1874; the first helmet was used in 1974. It took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important?

The Big Johnson Coed College Basketball Challenge is over, and for the tenth straight year, I lost!

Not surprising – there were over 90 entrants this year and next year we will shoot for over 100 with perhaps, a bigger prize?

This year’s Big Johnson champion, The Rev. Brian Johnson, is a repeat winner and will receive an Apple TV – plus, for winning the Womens side (and coming in 63rd nationally on ESPN) a personalized iPod Shuffle!

In second place – not by much – was my bowling buddy and teammate Keith Sun, who scored highest on the Mens side and will also receive a personalized iPod Shuffle.

Also beating my sorry @#$ at this game were the following contestants:

Ben Weiss • Sam Fielden • Brendan Hannemann • “dkb1063” • “cusetron” • Mark Crowder • “rearadmiral68” • Donny Samson • Joel Rosen • Suzanne Jackson • Pat Hayes • Fred Heggi • Geoff Young • Jess Jackson • Daniel Parker • “benjtp221” • “rduprau1” • Clif Sanders • Eric Torrey • Chris Hannemann

For this feat they will be offered their choice of a King Size CHUNKY Bar or a King Size Fast Break Bar (appropriate, no?).

I hope all of you and more will attempt to beat me in this next year’s Football and Basketball Big Johnson Challenges!

Another Card

February 23, 2012

This one is a birthday card – no, not mine, one given to my wife by one of her “friends.” She hasn’t had any parts replaced, though some have been disabled. I’ve had only one small part replaced, and another disabled, although it’s certainly true that some others are outdated, and others just don’t work [...]

February 22, 2012
