        Out-of-context [Name Omitted] Quote of the Day
    "Neo-nazi: it's so much classier."

---

I know I also, at some point, did a Plan o' the Day on this incident too, but this same individual once told someone that he wanted to learn Latin so he "could read the Bible in its original language." He was undaunted when told that Latin was not, in fact, the original language, preferring to claim that the Latin translation was better than the original.

Would it surprise anyone if I said I--and probably most of the people I went to school with--have story after story with this guy in them?

And on the sixth day... it's a two-fer Tuesday! And John said it was good. Oh, and they're both about traveling.

    "Welcome to our town" signs in Ohio:
    
    "Welcome to Fremont: We take Pride in Our Children"
        (and give very little back)

    "Welcome to Mt. Vernon: America's Hometown"
        (of course, EVERYONE wants to get out of their hometown)

    While travelling recently, I saw a sign that read "Rough Road."
Indeed, the road did grow quite rough.  However cost-efficient such a
"solution" might be, I wouldn't count stating the obvious as a particularly
effective remedy for the problem.  It's like going into the doctor, telling him
your symptoms, and having him cure you by rephrasing them.

    Hard-core computer people typically subscribe to something called UNIX,
which, of course, is the plural of eunuch.  And what do these modern
emasculations do once they are free of sensual desire--free to devote
themselves body, heart and soul to the computer?  Quake. Virtually 24-7.

    Now, I've used this short-hand myself, but really, what's the deal
with the word "whatev?"  I mean, are we too lazy to finish a word that says we
don't care?  Or do we just not care? Hmmm.
    Seriously, though--if you don't care enough to not care ALL THE WAY,
then I don't really care about YOU.  I mean, sheesh.  Whate.

Symbolic of my effort to blog daily--and, in fact, do it better while I'm cut off from the internet on my honeymoon--I am dipping back to my college years when I offered a new thought daily. Well, almost daily.

                 Thought of the Day
    Through the window, I just saw a large bug fly into a spider's web.
The owner of the web promptly rushed out and set to frantically securing his
new guest into place.  It works on the bug for maybe 15 seconds, which, let's
face it, is quite a while when you have a shelf life shorter than a tomato.  So
the bug's trussed up like, well, a dying bug in a spider's web, when what
happens?  The spider drops him.  All that work for nothing.  But like many
students here, I have sympathy for that spider.  Not because we feel like
"animals are people too" or support "spiders' rights to life."  But with final
projects and papers that aren't getting done, that little bug that ended up on
the pavement--that could be our semester.

I continue to draw from college work, as described yesterday.

    Saw in the NFC Wildcard game tonight, the 49er who made the winning
touchdown (his name eludes me) gave God the credit for the big play.  You
wonder where God was when he dropped so many in the first half. Or for that
matter, that the entire Greenbay Packers team could be made up of evil persons
not worthy of a wildcard victory.  Lord, if you find just one Packer who is
upright, will you not let a defender swat that damn Steve Young pass down?
