I was listening to a radio program the other night which was discussing the Whites Only scholarship offered by the College Republicans at Roger Williams College in Rhode Island. I have never heard more offensive racist comments in 30 minutes than I did on this single broadcast. The one I remember the most though was [...]
I am surprised that the license plate “DIZNEE” hasn’t been confiscated yet. They are obvious playing on Disney‘s good will to some nefarious end.
I am attributing this to one of Billy Graham’s grandchildren, because I think that is what the radio report said. But I don’t remember a name, so I could be completely wrong. During the interview, he was asked if he would take his children to see Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ (since it [...]
At the Chili Cookoff we attended this past weekend was a license plate reading “TEN54″. He said that he used to be a hearse driver and found the joke entertaining. (To get the joke, you of course must realize that a ten fifty-four is police CB lingo for an untimely death. Yeah, I thought it [...]
I think there are some advertisements I don’t understand because the people making them up just didn’t put enough thought into them, or they just weren’t meant for me. Woburn Toyota was advertising Presidential Day savings this past Monday. I think I understand what they meant, but why not just say it in the first [...]
As with my work about once a year, I have realigned some of the categories since I realized that everything was ending up in “Random Thoughts.” I guess I should have made the unsorted bin the default for where everything went. And since I reorganized stuff, I probably broke some link that you had made. [...]
As I was driving to work the other morning there were interesting license plates a-plenty. Like the lady with “MOODSWG” on the back of her SUV. Perhaps “PMSING” was already taken. “NYLEFTY” reminded me of the Elbonians currently engaged in a brutal civil war–right against left. And perhaps I have reading too much Slashdot recently, [...]
On way to the outlet mall in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire this past Saturday there was a truck with the license plate “BIG HPS”. I hope he was talking about the dualie he was driving and not his wife.
A commercial on the radio today was advertising Chamony Wrinkle Cream (call 1-800-SKIN-509 for more information) as the perfect Valentines day gift for your loved one. I think they miss the point (or have very thick skin). Mayor Tom Menino of Boston, it was reported on the radio this morning, said that no portable toilets [...]
