Too Horrible For Words

For sale at TheCheeky.com:

Designed for anyone who has far too much money and loose change, this is the piggy bank of all piggy banks. Its a real piglet that has been taxidermied and inserted with what all piglets probably dream of as babies, a coin storage unit and a cork plug.
Make your plush overpriced apartment complete with this little guy.

The piglet bank will take up to 12 months to produce from the time of order. We expect half the money up front and half when the piglet had been completed. Just so you know that we don’t actually kill the Piglets, they die of natural causes and these are the ones that we use.

Price $4000
(not including postage and packing))

Almost as disgusting as midget wrestling. BTW, that should be dwarf wrestling.

My Examined Life

Living with construction workers as I have for the past six months makes me feel pretty worthless. Here they are each day "making something" tangible with wood and nails. Cementing and sanding. And all I do is take up space on this planet. Everything I make disappears - down a throat or down a disposer.

Another Pet Peeve

Yesterday I saw a woman wearing a tee shirt just like this... (well, almost like this). I thought, wow, 46 reunions, that's impressive. But, hold on, is that Myrtle Beach??? I hope they got a discount. Would you wear it?

Verisimilitude

Have you ever heard anyone use the word "verisimilitude". Today I heard Garry Trudeau use the word in a regular conversational way. Maybe I should read Doonesbury, got 40 years to catch up on. Is it really worth it?

BTW, do you know what verisimilitude means? Can you spell it?

Calling All Professors

An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows. -Dwight D. Eisenhower
