Doing More With Less Since 1972

All The Baby Mamas

Since we are the proud owners of at least 6 different types of slings and carriers, and knowing that several dozen others are coveted by certain members of the household, I’m obligated to post this.

Thanks to @sugirly for showing me this.

What I Didn’t Do This Weekend

While I was enjoying perfect weather to play rugby–temp in the 60s, overcast skies, a light rain falling–and listening to people complain about playing in the cold, I was not taking part in what may have been the South’s greatest fireworks display this year, which was put on by my former club.

This was filmed from about 60-70 meters. To give you some perspective, the little ant-sized figure on the screen just under the play button is a person (allegedly)

I hear there is talk of actually scheduling this event on purpose in future years.

He Hated People Who Didn’t Give Attribution…

And he didn’t give attribution. And he hated irony!

Suggestion for The Tennessean — put as many of your internets as will fit into the trunk of your Prius, drive them over to Al Gore’s house (the lights are on), and leave them on a porch with a note telling him you don’t really know how they work.

BTW–Feel free to copy this post in its entirety and post it on your own blog. Just give me a link and it’s all good.

On Yoga

I never want to forget I overheard this conversation:

“You’re not going to wear my yoga pants.”

“Why? You never go to yoga.”

“Yes I do.”

“Touch your toes.”

“I can’t touch my toes. That’s why I go to yoga.”

Chick Delay – Another Big Money Maker

chik-fil-a

Feel free to implement this business idea. I only work in the abstract.

Ever notice how you always want Chick-fil-A on Sundays? I mean you crave it on Sundays, right? You do anything for a Chick-fil-A to be open on a Sunday, right?

The concept of Chick Delay is simple:

  • Every Saturday night, put in a catering order for a bunch of Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. Keep it simple–just order the basic sandwich.
  • People will beĀ desperateĀ for these sandwiches on Sundays, so there’s really no need to invest in processes like flash freezing or warmers, just throw them into a box, pile them up on your sofa, whatever.
  • Set up your stand sometime around 10 or 11 am on Sunday morning and start selling the stale sandwiches at a 20% markup. Don’t get greedy with the price–people are going to have unrealistic quality expectations if they are paying too much.
  • You may even want to look into using the Chick-Fil-A parking lot since they aren’t using it. See how many sandwiches you can sell before the police shut you down.

You’re welcomed.

Unassisted Triple Play – I Been Could Do That!

I don’t keep up with baseball anymore, but Michael Silence brought my attention to an unassisted triple play over the weekend.

When you’ve had an athletic career as long and decorated as mine (I’ll pause for you to finish laughing) that’s been so well documented (again, laughter) it’s sad to say the highlight, if it can be called that, occurred as a five year old in tee-ball. Yeah, I turned an unassisted triple play in tee-ball. You have to remember that when we were kids the only real rule difference between baseball and tee-ball was the tee itself.

I was playing shortstop and there were runners on 1st and 2nd. I ran into the space (is it really the “outfield” in T-ball?) to catch a pop up as the runners were heading to 3rd and 2nd. Luckily, I understood the rules of baseball at an early age, even though these poor kids didn’t. So all I had to do was run over and step on 2nd and tag the runner coming from first (h kept running right for me). Voila! Triple play!

If you played for “the orange team”–we didn’t have a sponsor–you may remember it. However, you were only 5 or 6 years old, so I’ll forgive you for forgetting.

The Genius of Corrine Brown

I want to gradulate Corrine Brown on her successful appearance on Jacksonville radio this morning. I only wish there was video to go with this. She really needs her own morning show.

Part I, PartII, Part III, Part IV

I’m not able to decode many of her “answers” into anything that even approach a complete thought, but there on some new terms, questions, and turn of phrase introduced in this discussion:

  • “That’s a one singer…we provide that service”
  • “How come your state dead last?”
  • “The grass need to be cut..that’s what stimulate the economy and get us rollin'”
  • “It’s really no one bullet answer.”
  • “…cars that are more environmental conscious.”

I really hope she runs for Senate so I’ll have an opportunity to vote against her.
