"I'm a pepper, he's a pepper, she's a pepper, wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?"

What t.v. commercial did this little ditty come from?

?

Hinky Day!

My closest ATM didn't work for 3 days and when it did, it was messed up and I couldn't withdraw any money.

The computer acted up, but after a reboot it was fine.

My shower decided it was time to get out, because the water started coming out warm instead of hot, but the hot water worked fine while I was shaving.

And it's only 2:30pm.

Hmmm...

I was married from ages 29 to 33.

It was a nasty divorce, but I moved on.

When asked why I haven't remarried since, I have a simple answer:

Once bitten, twice shy.

A 28 yr. old young man I work with is usually moaning about growing up at the wrong time. It seems he would have rather grown up when his father and I grew up - the '60s & '70s.

Last night he said the same thing. I looked at him for a moment, then told him that if he wanted to know what it was like, to throw away his cell phone and computer and he would be half way there.

The horrified look on his face was priceless.

Be careful what you wish for, buddy.

A perfect version of an American classic:


Love it!

Love this brand of dancin':


YEAH!

I saw the creepiest looking old man in my bathroom this morning...

and then I realized I was looking into the bathroom mirror.

The unofficial theme song for those ghosts and goblins trick or treating on Halloween:


Have a safe and happy holiday!

It's Halloween time again.

I don't go to bars or Halloween parties any more, but I still like to celebrate.

I came up with a good idea a few years ago and it has become a ritual now.

I take white and black costume makeup that you can buy around Halloween. I put smudges of black around my eyes, then mix black and white together to make a gray makeup that I use to cover my head, my neck, my arms and hands.

I put a little styling gel in my hair and make it stick out all over the place, really wild looking.

What you wear isn't important - just dress sloppily.

Then I go about my usual routine that day. I leave the window down on the car when I'm driving, which gets me a lot of funny looks from people. When I go into a store, I walk slowly and occasionally snarl at people who stare.

No one ever asks me what I'm dressed as... I mostly get compliments and even picture requests!

So if you're ever in my area and see a zombie walking around, don't chop my head off until you've asked me if I'm real or not first, o.k.?

Happy Halloween!

Six of the nine apartments in my building have cats.

My next door neighbor has a sign on his door which reads:

BEWARE OF ATTACK FLAMINGOS

My neighbors in the house behind me have two ducks (one black, one white).

Across the street, someone owns a dog big enough to ride.

All of this fits well into my liking of variety in my life.
