Snippets
July 8th, 2008 by Toni~edited 6/9/08 to distribute asterisks evenly between all points so as not to confuse Julie and to correct a grammatical error because” it’s ” and “its ” are Not the same.
*If you discover a golf club in your bathroom just let it go. Exploring the whyfors of its presence will get you nowhere.

*After dinner out at a Chinese restaurant:
Will’s fortune: “Life to you is a dashing, bold adventure”
Brother’s fortune: “Knowledge and not doing are equal to not knowing at all.”
Sister’s comment: “Hmm Dad, maybe you and Brother should switch.”

*While reading this book you may need to describe a picture meant to represent a hole in the ice. Consider that “ice hole” may not be the best phrasing to share with a parrot-like three year old who hasn’t quite mastered clear pronunciation.

*I caught my husband secretly watching something on the computer. He was completely enthralled. Ooohing and ahhhing - practically drooling on the screen. “Ahem.” He looked up wide eyed in my direction and a classic, “I am so busted.” look crossed his face.
He was watching:
A. visual 900 numbers
B. YouTube videos of Baywatch
C. This
Only in the Kingdom of Geek could the correct answer ever be C. … Welcome to my world.
You have an asterisk before the first and last items on the list, so I somehow thought they were connected… like the last snippet was the explanation of the first snippet. So then I kept trying to see how they were connected. Was your husband watching the video in the bathroom with a golfclub? That was my final conclusion. : )
Ok I got about 10 seconds into “refactoring,” or whatever it’s called and had to close the window. No drooling on my part. But you really should be glad your husband’s a geek. Trust me. It’s better than the other 2 options.
Oh my gosh that’s too funny. Love the ice hole, especially…and now I have to show Jim the refracterwhatzit video and see if he drools.
Oh, and Jen? Are there only TWO other options besides *geek* for a man to be? I’m just giggling here wondering what they might be…please enlighten?
This was hilarious!
The it’s and its thing - mess me up all the time. Not that I don’t KNOW the difference…but getting that message from my brain to my fingers is kind of tricky. When I was a kid, I used to think that little men lived inside me and worked my body like a factory - taking care of digestion and so forth. They resembles Snap, Crackle and Pop in my head. Anyhow, I like to imagine they have something to do with my it’s and its issues. I imagine them screwing up my nerves like someone would re-route a train or something; I think they would find this hilarious. You know, if they were real.
