Look it up!!

Posted

Nothing terribly profound to say.

Mine were parents of extremely inquisitive children, Lit & I. Being quite intellectual AND smart, they had many many answers. When patience grew thin and the light shone at the nearing end of the knowlege tunnel, they deferred to the self-help method of "Look it up!" This was the foundation for my insight base of mostly-pointless, somewhat-useless, kinda-trivial Fort Knox Depository of information I have banked in the gray-matter jello upstairs.

So, when you stumble across something you're unsure of, or simply don't know:

1. Figure it out on your own;
2. Ask someone who might know; or
3. Look it up!!

Bachelor Pad

Posted

Top Ten: Things I've learned by living in THIS bachelor pad...

OK, not things I've learned just now. Things I've known forever, but some may discover ONLY after reading this.

1. Hair in bath/tub/shower drain will cause downward water flow to slow or even stop. This phenomenon CAN NOT be reversed without human intervention. This is very hard to notice unless you have really short hair, like me.

2. After using the last square of anti-skid-mark-papyrus, there is a need to not only remove the cardboard cylinder it came on from the dispenser, but also a need to refresh the supply of it. When this has not been done (notice I didn't say if) old episodes of MacGyver may flash through your head in an effort to trigger the most resourceful corners of your brain and figure out what you can use to wipe effectively without bleeding more than a couple pints of blood plasma.

3. A man can actually spend 2 hours each day in the bathroom and come out looking only slightly different than he did when he entered the shouchaalaya. (Hindi word for bathroom)

4. There is a such thing as "pube-dander". It collects on the front lip of the toilet seat. Its owner doesn't clean it off. I don't like it.

5. The cure for many different diseases are found in the fridge. The cause of many different diseases are found right next to the cures - sometimes in the same bowl/bag/box.

6. Clothes left in the washer transfer themselves to the dryer and then fold themselves... but you'll have to wait about 6.29 trillion years for it to happen. In the meantime, remove yer $#!+  !!

7. The caps on toothpaste tubes are not neccesary and were designed to only slow you down.

8. Large holes in the ceiling are quite artistic after a certain period of time has passed without repairing them.

9. If you constantly slam doors and you don't GAF if anyone else is asleep, does it really make a sound?

10. Messy, discombobulated, FUBAR'd rooms actually cease to exist. I think the technical term is "repression"?
