    I'm tired of feeling foolish because of businesses that choose to lock one of their two front doors for no apparent reason.

    Cell Phones killed the era where pushing your friends into the pool was cool.

    A group of bats should be named a batallion, rather than a colony.

    Oh man! This drives me NUTS!! I always unbolt the locked side! I used to be a locksmith, so I am familiar with most mechanisms...most don't require a key.

    The problem is simply laziness. Most double doors have one door that has lever-operated deadbolts that secure to the threshold and header, and the other door deadbolts to the stationary door with a keyed lock. The opening employee unlocks the keyed door, but fails to unbolt the stationary door.

    It's good to know I'm not the only one!

    "Well it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
    Always telling people things they're too lazy to know
    It can make you crazy, yeah it can drive you insane
    Tell me why must I always explain..."

    I wonder what it feels like for a videogame npc to give some random nobody 3 gold pieces to cut their grass and then find out like a month later that the guy went on to defeat the great evil that plagued the land.

    I wonder how many animals we had to ride before we discovered that horses were cool with it.

    Didn't you read the Clan of the Cave Bear series?

    A really nerdy part of me wants all these fidget spinner to be a nefarious plot to harvest our kinetic energy to power some arrogant *kitten*'s interdimensional *kitten* car battery.

    I wonder if, when they film a chase scene, all the people in the "regular" cars are stunt drivers too

    Saying, "I'm unphotogenic" is a socially acceptable way of saying, "I think I'm more attractive than all the best available evidence suggests."

    Whenever I notice that I've driven behind the same car for quite some distance, I start to think that they think I'm following them.

    I sometimes fantasize that "Far Side" cartoonist Gary Larson, who retired in 1995, has secretly continued drawing and is about to spring 20 years worth of material on us.

    I wish! Far Side was one of my favorites. That and Calvin and Hobbes were the only cartoons I religiously read.

    I was always a Doonesbury and Bloome County fan, m'self...tho' Larson was certainly one-of-a-kind!
