Chili's
Chili's, I served with intense flavor combinations. I knew intense flavor combinations. Intense flavor combinations were a friend of mine. Chili's, you're no intense flavor combination.

R.I.P
You never got the credit you deserved. You saved many shoppers a few steps by refrigerating Mexican food items in the Mexican aisle. Excuse me, I am going to walk all the way to the cheese section now to get Mexican cheese. I guess you don't know what you got until it's gone.

Whatever happened to the twist movie ending?
Just think of all the great movies with a twist ending: primal fear, memento, fight club, the usual suspects, the sixth sense, signs, the prestige etc.. They all seemed to come out in around the same time. What happened to that? Now we get stuff like the transformers. Let me guess, the robots are humans, whoopty doo, big twist (I have never actually seen those movies). People were all up in arms about frozen. Well the girl\snowman thawing out isn't exactly unpredictable. I guess the twist ending era is officially over. Thanks Obama.

Your tax dollars at work
Seriously, what is with all these damn signs? Everywhere I turn: here is the street you are on, here is how fast you can drive, there are some men working up ahead . Does the government really need to tell me what street I live on? Hell, I have been in this house for five years! How about instead of wasting tax payer dollars for a sign on my street, the governor pays to recharge my air conditioning in the car. Of course he does not do that, because that would make too much sense. So here I am sweating in my vehicle and all that metal street sign is doing is attracting more heat. Talk about something contributing to global warming. How about instead of making us drive hybrids, we tear down some fucking signs!
We as tax payers are left completely in the dark about how much of our hard-earned paycheck goes to telling us such pertinent information as what state we are entering/exiting, who volunteers to clean a mile of the road, and semi truck weight limits. DO YOU SEE ME DRIVING A SEMI TRUCK? I did some googling to see how much signs cost and just about puked my guts out when I found the answer. One "Pedestrian Crossing" sign is going to set Americans back between $106 and $183.25. Of course, had I not seen that pedestrian crossing sign, I would have just assumed it was okay to plow into people crossing the road.
Do not even get me started on this. |
Where is that astronomical cost coming from? It is a big piece of metal. And its not like labor costs are high. Some prisoner somewhere is getting paid a quarter an hour to bang out sign after sign after sign. Still on the fence? Think signs are worth it? Try this on for size: $130.55-$183.75 for a sign that depicts a guy riding a tractor. That's right, your sweat-stained dollars are being spent to tell you that that thing that appears to be a guy riding a tractor is in fact, a guy riding a tractor.

Crosby Jane here, just checking in
Hey there world, long time, not talk (get it? I can't talk yet). Anyway, I wanted to get on here and add some original content, as opposed to just copying and pasting a tl;dr school assignment across 50 different posts like some other people we know.
So, who do you all have in the world cup? Dad has Brazil over Argentina in the finals, needless to say, he really went out on a limb there. I am going to go a different direction and pick France, mostly because I have a wardrobe that features a lot of Eiffel Towers.
So what else is new? Well, I am learning to eat. I use this learning curve as an excuse to make the absolute biggest mess that I can. Watching mom and dad scramble to clean up my dining area is a fantastic way to unwind in the evening. I will admit though, sometimes I have to try really hard and throw my spoon a couple of extra times to ensure that I have a messier area than dad. I get away with a huge mess because I am only 7 months old; your guess is as good as mine as to what his excuse is.
On top of learning to eat, I have also gotten my own place. That's right, no more bassinet in mom and dad's room, I am kicking it in my own room. It feels good to be able to breath a little, plus I have room to roll around in my crib. Unfortunately, I can only roll over onto my stomach and then I am stuck. The only advantage to this is that if dad (I don't do this to mom) puts me down for a nap, I can roll over on my stomach, get mad, and then scream until he comes in to flip me back over.

Uh oh, it is way past my bed time. I have very much enjoyed telling you all about my recent comings and goings. Until next time, keep it real.
