I met Strawberry Alarm Clock when I was 9 in '67 on my very first flight from K-zoo to Indy. I was alone and they were very nice to me. I remember waist length hair and stacks of hundreds being flashed. They personalized and signed a black and white photo for me. I would love to have that back again.

I really need to get my hands on a copy of The Guess Who's Live at the Paramount, if only for that 16 minute "American Woman".

i am bored at work, so i thought i would tell you a story.

my dad is a minister for the methodist church. they have communion once a month. my dad used to always make the unleavened bread for communion, but one day (i think this was my soph. year of high school), he was in a hurry and decided to just buy some pita bread at the store. rev. pops was pressed for time, so he just ran in the store and grabbed a package w/o looking at it.

anyway, he got onion pita bread. he never noticed this until AFTER the communion service. the service was the funniest thing i have ever seen in my entire life. the ceremony consists of the rev's saying "the body of christ, given for you," and the the person eats the bread.

everytime people got the bread, they made these awful faces b/c they were expecting plain bread. some kids even spit it out.

everytime i think about this, i fall over laughing. if i ever write for movies/tv, this is so going in there. seriously. i don't think i will ever experience anything funnier than this.

Growing up as a Methodist I can relate.  That story is hillarious!
I think you've got the start of sitcom!

So I on break today, chatting with a couple coworkers.  A story about politics comes up.  So I jump in for a bit.  We're talking about the difference between liberal & conservative & what it implies etc etc.  I jump into a story about staying the fuck out of my business if it doesn't have anything to do with you (politically speaking).  

I referenced a previous conv. with another coworker about gay marriage - the guy was practically jumping up & down "damn homos ruining everything blah blah blah, black people, blah blah blah".  Now this guy, is a nice enough fella, just overtly racist & I try to give him a hard time all the time for it.  

So instead of getting into name calling - I reference my gay marriage conv.  I said that it doesn't affect me directly so why get all in a huff about it?  The response I got was incredible - it made me feel ashamed to hear it.

It was said that if they are allowed to marry, the next step is that you cant fire someone for being gay, then the wouldn't be able to not hire someone if they're gay - they'll take over the church & force them to have gay preachers & weddings, regardless of church.  And according to this dude - "the homos want to take the statutory age [consentual sex] out of the law books so they can have sex with anyone as young as they want"  

So to paraphrase - if gays can marry - they'll take over the church & fuck your kids

And I was looked at as being crazy

I need a new job

Does anyone else find it both strange & sad seeing new CCTV footage of Diana so many years on from that tragic incident  :'(

I'm quite possibly the most un-motivated I've ever been in my life these past few days.  Just feel like pissing around on the computer and reading a little bit.  Can't even be compelled to watch any DVD's.  

Kinda worried. :-/ :-? :)

so i'm thinking about getting an XBOX 360. I don't have money for one, but that's what the credit card is for. if i get it, it's going to be around 500 bucks after its all said in done. with a couple of games, controller, and XBOX Live. but lately i've been finding myself using the credit card too much. i've been fighting this for months now.

spend 500 dollars on music instead. you'll be much happier.

random thought, I called the vet today to get my dogs yearly vaccinations next week and they tell you to bring some poop for a sample. This girl told me to bring poop but not all the poop, just about a quarter's worth. this made me laugh.

Why do you have automatic towel dispensers when the only people that use them have just washed their hands?
