I voted on some shareholder thing a year or so ago simply because I was so happy that someone let me vote something.

Sorry, this probably belongs on politics. Well, fuck it.

Wait.
Just.
One.
Minute.

You can't vote, yet you can curry votes from your American friends? I'm outraged.

No Way, Jose!

Best headline I've seen in a while:

"Duct tape no substitute for a babysitter, police say"

Best costume seen yesterday

A woman and her two kids came by our house yesterday evening trick-or-treating. The kids were dressed as a witch and a policeman. The mother (who was about 35 and VERY hot) was dressed as "RollerGirl". Seriously. Very, very funny.

I can curry votes from friends any where in the world!

And I can vote in online polls. Which I guess are the only things that matter. Thank you for reminding me.

I never knew Mary Janes by their given name. I just call them Pull All Your Dental Work Outs.

Pho is the hamachi of Vietnamese food, it isn't introductory. Vermicelli with roast pork and spring rolls is a better start- like yellowtail.

I encourage all to vote early and often and for the right person. No right-minded person could have a beef with that, could they?

It's incredibly rude to comment on a person's eating habits -- amount, preferences, anything. Why do people do that? Lack of other mealtime conversation?

I don't even like it when people comment about how the baby eats, but at least in that case there's some novelty to it.

It's incredibly rude. I was having McDonalds chicken tenders the other day and this woman walks into my office and says "ew, did you ever see Super Size me?"
I said no.
"Well, if you did, you'll never eat McDonalds again."

I said I doubt it. It's fast and I like these. And I love the fries. Mmmm the fries.

What the hell?

What I really hate are undisclosed onions. And cashiers who say, well if it's not on the menu, then there are no onions. Because I hate to wait for my order twice.

Dating

So Ivanka Trump is spotted kissing Topher Grace at Pure after she dumped (or was dumped by) Lance Armstrong. Is this a woman who doesn't know what her type is or what?

Oh, and Flavor Flav is expecting his 7th child with an undisclosed woman who is not Deelishous. Is that a Viagra coat?

You shouldn't be stopping to get snacks when your friend is in the hospital. Serves you right.

More crazy races

My friend and trainer Wooch (racer #454) will be doing this race in Costa Rica this weekend. A three day mountain biking race through the jungles in Costa Rica. If you have nothing better going on this weekend, there will apparently be periodic updates on their website. There are 300 people from 30 countries doing the race, and apparently it's hard as hell.

I don't understand your analogy. Does it have something to do with sushi? I have never had real sushi.
