Bag of Randomness

  • I had the weirdest dream last night.  I was at a pool party and Gov Good Hair was in attendance.  He only had his swim trucks on, which were of the very short variety, in a solid maroon print with white trim (showing his Aggie pride).  Surprisingly he had lot of back hair, and he refused to get in the water because he didn’t want to mess up his hair.
  • I’m not sure the Metroplex can handle the loss of Big Tex and Nolan Ryan in one calendar year.
  • I had dinner with an old friend last night at a restaurant of his choosing, those waitresses will write anything on your ticket to get good tip.
  • Another old friend was kind enough to send me a hand-written note that I got in the mail yesterday.  I wish I can be as kind and considerate as him.
  • WifeGeeding took a picture me and GirlGeeding making some sweets yesterday.  From her angle, I actually look pretty thin.  I also think I look like a half-Asian Dick Clark in that picture.
  • Sometimes WifeGeeding will make a good observation and I’ll reply back with “Good eye” without realizing the unintentional comedy.
  • I tend to get annoyed when people provide an answer or explain something an they end their sentence in “so . . . .”
  • I saw a story in which the remains of two unknown sailors on the USS Monitor were flown to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery today.  It’s amazing that they got to sail on one of the world’s first iron-clad warships, and even though they are dead, I wondered how amazed they would be to know they would be flying on a giant metal plane to their final resting place.
  • Our Congress needs wide representation of all backgrounds and different points of view, and it’s important for people like Sen Rand Paul to ask the questions he asked during his filibuster.
  • Here’s an article about the male lead actor on “The Americans”.  I didn’t know the guy was Welsh, which means he’s a Welsh man playing a Russian pretending to be American.
  • For you video game fans of Halo and Mass Effect – A gaming room full of Halo and Mass Effect weaponry
  • The manliest apron I’ve ever seen.
  • For you Beatles fans, you may like the documentary ‘Good Ol’ Freda‘ which will premier at SXSW.  It’s about the Beatles one and only secretary.  I didn’t know the band was together for just ten years, but she was their secretary for 11.  The film has support from the two remaining band mates and has been given the rights to use four of their songs.  Why is using the rights to one of their songs a big deal?  Well,  remember, “Mad Men” had to pay $250,000 to use just a part of “Tomorrow Never Knows” in one episode last season.
  • UT Southwestern got a little carried away with a handwashing video – YouTube
  • Infograph – Extraordinary McDonald’s Menu Items
  • A supercut of movies that break the fourth wall
  • Pixar’s 22 Rules of Storytelling
  • Woman Breaks Up with Fiancé After Finding Him with Another Girl on Russian Google Maps
  • Google ’99 – An 11-year-old’s documentary
  • A woman wrote a letter to her best friend who’s in the ICU with short-term memory loss.  More details if you are interested.
  • Retired lab chimps see the sky for the first time
  • A seasoned flight attendant for a major carrier dishes 10 workplace secrets – I had no idea Diet Coke was their enemy.
  • Facebook prevents 104-year-old woman from revealing her age – Everytime she enters the year 1908, the year changes to 1928.  You know, that’s how I make my living, finding quirky stuff like that in software, applications, and such.
