Right....................................


I've somehow been compelled to blog today. The first time in a VERY VERY long time. I keep seeing these Baby on Board signs on cars. Am I the only one that wonders what the hell these are for? Is some guy going to be driving out of control about to rear end this vehicle and suddenly avoid hitting it at the last second because he sees the Baby on Board sign? "Oh I was planning on accidentally hitting your car, but suddenly seeing that "Baby on Board" sign I came to my senses and averted a serious accident."

Imagine for a moment, two cars are sitting at a light and a driver coming to the intersection tries to slow down and suddenly his breaks lock up! Hes speeding out of control to his doom. He is going to rear end of the vehicles! I'm sure as milliseconds pass he has time to evaluate both vehicles carefully and make a rational informed decision on which vehicle he will crash into, hopefully the one that will help the greatest societal good. But does a "baby on board" sign a fair criteria for picking the lesser of two bad choices? Knowing that you completely immune from car accidents why not go buy the sign for insurance reasons. I might start driving around with a car seat and a doll in the front seat to help me pick up chicks.

Imagine a group of college coeds driving. "Holy crap Stacy we nearly hit that car! Lucky for us I saw the baby on board sign at the last second. Wow and look at that responsible father in there, that guy must really value his family and have his priorities in order. " A naked pillowfight soon followed..................


Some more random thoughts.....

Why does it seem that no matter how few of people are at the grocery store, there will always be people exactly in front of the item you are trying to buy? I guarantee you put me in a grocery store with 5 random people and assign me to buy 12 specific items and there will be a person debating on going with name brand or generic for 5 minutes in front of 10 of the 12 items. It just seems like a fact of my life.

Why do I always seem to get a flat whenever I am running late?

Whats the deal with bluetooth headsets? Do any of you find it weird to be looking through fruit at the grocery store and the woman next to you suddenly start talking to what appears to be nothing? I need to hear a ring dammit! Give some kinds of heads up to the people around you.

The more I work in the "adult" world the more I realize how many of these "adults" are just a bunch of children in grown-up bodies. (i.e. the kid who if he doesn't get his way, takes the ball away and goes home; the kid who won't do something because his friend or sibling isn't being asked to do it; the kid who makes everything so damn dramatic, and wants to make sure everyone knows his side of the story; I could go on......)


Closing thoughts.

Anyone else as excited as me that Fred Thompson FINALLY decided to form his presidential exploratory committee?

Oh and a big '05 WHOOP for the Aggies making it to the NCAA Super Regionals.

Could Colt McCoy look anymore like a boy among men?
