Bag of Randomness

  • One of my favorite places to eat is a place called Babe’s.  Don’t let the name mislead you, it has nothing to do with a Hooters like atmosphere.  Simply, a husband called his wife Babe all the time and that’s how the place got its name.  Well, she recently died, and here’s a short story about her.
  • There’s no place better to have chicken fried steak or cream corn – none, none what-so-ever.
  • Whenever a friend from out of state comes to visit, that’s the first place I usually take them.  It’s got a nice down home Texan atmosphere.
  • The waitresses do the hokey pokie once every half hour I think, and WifeGeeding will always leave the dinner table to join in on the fun.
  • And every now and then a waitress will grab the mic and sing Crazy by Patsy Cline.
  • As great as that place is, it is a heart attack waiting to happen so I limit myself to eat there only once per quarter.
  • Come to think about it, I think that place is my Disneyland.  It’s the happiest place on earth.
  • I wonder why this space suit didn’t make it for the Apollo program.
  • Let me let me let me upgrade . . . upgrade . . .
  • Now that Dr Rob has posted a comment, I now know at least two M.D.’s that read this here blog.
  • I know at least one Ph.D., J.D., Homeland Security Agent, Princeton grad, and one radio DJ that read BON as well.
  • Mike Snyder hasn’t updated his blog since early October.
  • I think I’m going to get one of these to solve our heating problem and place it in the middle of the living room.
  • There’s this really great airline named Southwest.  On their website you can now book a flight to Canada.  I hear the people behind that implementation are some of the coolest people on the face of this earth.  I’m just saying.

  • Off hand I don’t think I have a favorite onomatopoeia, but whaaam comes to mind.
  • I’m not the type to drive around or wait for a good parking space.  I much rather park in the first available one I see and walk.
  • Cadillac has a stupid commercial with a bunch of ladies getting into a SUV and the guy giving them reindeer nicknames.
  • I’ve always admired how John Walsh was able to turn his anger into action that would help fight crime.
  • Every Monday through Friday I drink one glass of warm green tea, with one Sweet and Low, and a spoonful of Benefiber.  With that glass, I usually eat a bowl of cereal that consists of a half cup of Fiber One, half cup of Total, and a mixture of walnuts and almonds.  This breakfast happens at my desk at work while I read the latest headlines, daily comics, and my emails.
  • As a kid, I loved wrapping presents.  Maybe it was because it felt cool knowing what everyone was getting and it felt good that others appreciated my effort.  Now, it’s a beatdown.  That’s why all of WifeGeeding’s presents will be coming from the Sky Mall.  That goes for all my other family members as well.
