What I Thought In December 2001

« November 2001 | Main | January 2002 »

(12-31) I think everyone will be relieved after today because I'll stop whining about having to work when no one else has to.

(12-31) I think people who aren't here, by definition, can't call in with problems, so I shouldn't have to be at work today.

(12-26) I think that since lots of people who aren't Christians get Christmas off as a holiday, I should get today off for Kwanzaa.

(12-26) I think if the stock market does so well when companies do better than the analysts forecasted, why don't the stupid forecasters help the economy out and always make really bad predictions?

(12-26) I think it'd be cool if McDonald's had their own football team, so that when they trash talked their opponents, they could say things like "I'm gonna super size your face" and "Time to order a large McWoop".

(12-26) I think having to work the day after Christmas is one of the other greatest tortures one has to endure.

(12-24) I think I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

(12-21) I think the last day of work before Christmas is one of the greatest tortures one has to endure.

(12-20) I think I laughed this morning when I saw two stray dogs using the crosswalk to cross the street. It was probably just a coincidence, but it was still funny.

(12-20) I think sometimes I want to punch Jesse Jackson in the nose.

(12-20) I think this Diet Dr. Pepper balances out the Krispy Kreme doughnut I'm eating.

(12-20) I think if I was wrong on my thought before this one, being wrong never tasted so good.

(12-19) I think with the ridiculous number of bowl games we have now, we might as well go ahead and start planning for the 1122 Bowl... (and no, Brandon, I'm not talking about the plastic bowling set we had)

(12-19) I think if Microsoft sponsored a bowl game, it wouldn't let the TV networks broadcast any other bowl games. It would give away the food and drinks to get you to buy tickets to the game. It would feature mediocre teams, but have the best fans, so it would eventually drive the other bowls out of business. They wouldn't bother wasting money on security at the games. Sure, the Rose Bowl might be prettier and the FedEx Orange Bowl might be more efficient, but it wouldn't matter. Once it was the only game in town, the Microsoft Bowl would triple its prices and eventually take over the world.

(12-18) I think you can put any lyrics you want in a Christmas song, and no one will ever question them. For example, from "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year": "There'll be scary ghost stories/ And tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago"...I'll buy the second part...but who tells ghost stories at Christmas (and no, Dickens doesn't count)?

(12-18) I think exclamations like "Oh, sweet nectar of life!" should only be used when drinking Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper (or Diet), or possibly sweet tea for some people.

(12-14) I think I want to start using catch phrases that sound cool but don't make any sense, like, "Man, that is on the gun", "You're acting like a preacher in a grocery store", and "Sha-zoom!".

(12-13) I think the major difference between the old Nintendos and the newer systems is that on the older games, you rarely messed up because you hit the wrong button...there were only two.

(12-13) I think there is something inherently funny about elf shoes.

(12-13) I think some people on websites like to argue about anything. I just read a few messages on Dilbert.com (very off-topic) about whether or not people washing their hands after using the bathroom is causing kids to grow up with weakened immune systems.

(12-12) I think everyone in the world should have the opportunity to see the show that is Brandon on Comtrex. I gave it five stars!

(12-12) I think NFL Blitz is a fairly entertaining game, but it's just not football.

(12-12) I think that my site might not be officially standards compliant like Brandon's, but at least it loads on all the browsers! :)

(12-10) I think Ole Miss should quit whining about not getting into a bowl with a 7-4 record and realize that five of those wins were against Murray State, Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Kentucky. Try playing UCLA for your season opener.

(12-07) I think computers are programmed to start running 75% slower the second you start thinking about getting a new computer.

(12-07) I think I'd make millions for developing an "executive slingshot" for shooting paper balls across the office.

(12-07) I think waking up in the middle of the night is a mixed blessing. On one hand, you're losing some sleep, but on the other, it sure is nice to look at your alarm clock and realize you've got a few more hours to sleep.

(12-06) I think every medication is required to list "dry mouth" as a possible side effect.

(12-05) I think 70 degrees is not my idea of December.

(12-03) I think the Opryland Hotel is a very, very, very, very, very large place.
