We did the best and
the most popular, so it’s time to finish the week with the one with the highest
comments-to-views ratio. This is basically your pick, so don’t blame me for
this one :P.
Random Thoughts (Originally posted May 10, 2014)
---Time for some Random
Thoughts! It’s been far too long since I’ve shared with you the insanity that
runs through my head.
---While visiting some website,
the words “This is where I leave you” appeared across the top of the tab, just
for a second. I wish I had the time to get a screen cap. What a quiet message,
yet fraught with longing.
---Yesterday I read about
caterpillars that look like leaves,
so naturally last night I dreamed that every tree I came across was full of
them.
---One week of camping without
any electronics can reset your biological clock, helping you sleep at night.
However, doing so requires camping outside for one week without electronics.
You can see the problem there.
---Richard Matheson wrote I AM
LEGEND, the novel that got turned into that Will Smith movie that ruined the
ending. Matheson’s son Chris is the creator of Bill & Ted’s Excellent
Adventure. Let that sink in for a minute.
---America has five percent of
the world’s population, yet it produces one quarter of the world’s garbage.
---The embassies of Slovak and
Slovenia exchange wrongly addressed mail once a month.
---There is actually a musical
of the book/movie AMERICAN PSYCHO. I’m not sure how to feel about that.
Confused? Confused.
---A flight from Denver to
Baltimore was diverted to another airport for security reasons. Said security
reasons that two people complained about an R rated movie they couldn’t shut
off being shown to their two young children. No, there’s no way those
movie-complaining terrorist parents will win.
---The “Cobra Effect” is when
the solution to a problem actually makes the problem worse. I assume it’s named
after COBRA from G.I. Joe. Those guys couldn’t do anything right.
---“Ancient Daddy Longlegs Had Four Eyes, Not Two.” And will haunt your nightmares for eternity.
---A missing boy was found
playing in a claw machine.
Not with it. Inside of it.
Still freaked out about those leave-caterpillars. And the daddy
longlegs. And also kind of the American Psycho musical. That just seems off.
See you next week! Original content, I promise! Hey, I got to get a new
pool going for next year.
I must prefer Bill and Ted over that Will Smith I Am Legend fiasco.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember this one. Now, I have to go back and see if I commented on it originally.
ReplyDeleteI understand why this one got the most comments/view. Your Random Thoughts posts have so much to comment on.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to prove that children don't have necessarily have the same tastes as their parents.
I'm startled seeing orange caterpillars. The green ones would be quite surprising.
ReplyDeleteHow did that kid get inside the machine?
I remember that claw machine image. *shudders*
ReplyDeleteI believe the movie on the airplane was Alex Cross. It's about a sadistic serial murderer. I wouldn't show that to young children either.
