This would have been more believable if you hadn't included the letter "L" in nuclear. I would have gone with "nucwear" or something similar.

I was driving yesterday on I-15 when I saw a billboard promoting a fertility clinic with the URL prominantly displayed:

http://www.richardsinvitro.com/

I thought it would have been more memorable if he had used his nickname.

I have an unusual first name, and a pretty normal last name. In my whole life, I have only met about three other people with my first name. Today I got a Facebook message from someone who shares my exact first and last name. Weird. I thought I might be the only one.

Did he/she want to marry you?

I don't like that this clip makes me laugh:

Sometimes I just stare at my hand and then open and shut it in amazement. The human body is really weird if you stare at it long enough. You don't even need to be high.

I recently performed a minor surgery on my leg, to remove a couple of fatty deposits that were bruising as if they were subcutaneous cysts on the verge of bursting. If you are able to make a one inch incision, about 1/8th inch deep, into your own body, this is a relatively easy procedure. I had watched a doctor do it before, on a different cyst (I guess I'm prone to them), and thought that it looked like something I could have done myself... so I tried it. Anyhow, as the old Maker saying goes, if you can't open it, you don't own it.

Guy I hate most on TV = the State Farm insurance guy. He seems a little slimy at times, smug at others.

Favorite guy on TV = Old Spice guy, I might just buy some Old Spice body wash because of it, but I prefer bars.

Old Spice guy is ten times cooler than the Dos Equis guy. .

Agreed on Old Spice Guy. "Look at me, I'm on a horse"

Jack from Jack In The Box is the only one I'll back up the DVR for when I'm skipping commercials.

Here's a computer tip. If your internet runs slow for a couple of days, and then goes out completely, you can reset your modem, and go through all your settings, and run a scan on your computer, and drag your old laptop out of the attic to see if it will connect, and do various other little things on it, like I did. But I would advise you to first check to see if the cable wasn't securely connected to the wall, and has come loose.

That feeling of impotence from not having the internet is maddening.

I looked down this morning and was disappointed to see that my odometer was reading 88889 and the temperature right below it was reading 88. Had I noticed 1 mile earlier, I could have snapped a pic of my odometer looking something like this:

88888
88

This was particularly disappointing to me, as I try to make a point to catch the odometer when it is reading palindromic (one of many obsessive-compulsive habits I deal with). And what better palindromic numeral is there than 88888, which is not only a palindrome, but is actually a mirror image of itself when cut in half.

I'll stop scaring you now.
