My last bowel movement weighed 0.4 lbs.

Is this a daily event or were you just curious for some reason?

Is Step 8 absolutely necessary? I hope not.

Step 1 and Step 8, while personally refreshing, are completely unnecessary in this context. The weight of your clothes has no impact on the weight of your turds. Unless, perhaps, the clothes were removed so that none of the poop got onto them -- although if you're getting poop onto your clothes, perhaps the weight of that poop isn't your biggest concern.

You're right. I actually left out a step. I showered after step 7. I am kind of DDD weird-like and I time my bowel movements as best I can with a shower afterward. Though I have been known to shower in the middle of the day after a bowel movement.

I love pedicures, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

A hot dog, right out of the pack, looks more like male anatomy, but a hot dog in a bun, with pickles and relish and mustard and ketchup and onions, that looks more like female anatomy.

Is it more robustly made than our crap 2 year bulbs? I guessing it is. I've always wondered, however, how long a bulb would last if you just never turned it off. My bulbs always burn out in the act of turning on. I've never seen one burn out while already lit. Could it last for 10 years? More?

It must be...but I remember asking my dad once when I was a kid why the lighbulb hadn't really advanced all that much, and he said that they are brighter, frosted, and last a lot longer than they did when he was a kid (born in 1950).

Here is a little trick:

If you have ever wondered what it would feel like to have a beer gut, but won't be able to because you obey the Word of Wisdom, and the price of quality prosthetic beer guts is just too high, do this: have your pregnant wife stand in front of you then reach around and wrap your fingers around her swollen belly. If you close your eyes, this may be as close as you ever get to the feel of having a beer gut. Also, you will get bonus points in her favor book for cuddling.

Wouldn't it be weird if you found out that someone else on the board knew you in real life, and they knew who you were on the board, but they kept their own board identity a secret? In my most panicky moments of paranoia, I sometime fear that IPU is actually my disapproving father.

I cannot beat the Favela special ops on Veteran. It's pissing me off.

At the end of the 60's, cross-town rivals Hayward High and Castro Valley High decided to use student announcers for the first time at their basketball games. The announcers that were selected brought wit, excitement and their mellifluous baritone voices to their respective arenas and the experiment was regarded as a big success.

Yesterday, Hayward's announcer, Jon Miller, joined Red Barber, Mel Allen, Vin Scully, Harry Caray and others in receiving the Baseball Hall of Fame Ford Frick Award, the highest honor to be bestowed on baseball announcers; Castro Valley's announcer spent the day revising stock purchase agreements and posting on an obscure internet message board about a teenager who fights like a girl.

This is chilling reminder of the difference between people who follow their dreams and those who do not.
