"We're Not In The Jungle Anymore, Doctor..."

I believe it was Winston Churchill who said, \"Wit above all else\" (that is if anyone ever said it at all. I could simply say it was Shakespeare, he said a lot of things, who has time to check and see if he really said them all. Dude has been dead for a few years now, it\'s not like he\'s going to refute it
). I happen to agree with Mr. Churchill. Wit is an art form and not to be tread lightly.
However, the low brow has it\'s time and place as well. Let\'s not belittle those who take it to the loo for the laugh. A finely timed (and I am going to need to get creative to work around the bloody word censors here) doody joke can receive just as many gaffaws and naughty winks as a well thought out jab at the latest cultural faux pas. There is a broad line between the bawdy and the haughty. But if you are one who feels that you can walk the gap between the two, well then, good luck to you. It\'s a tough gig and one fraught with awkward silences. But if you truly feel you need attempt it, then the only advice I can give is stick with the fart joke.
Yes, the fart joke. Though it is to be considered ultimately low brow it is shared between all people of all classes and cultures and was quite possibly the first joke ever told. People have been farting since the dawn of time. You can\'t tell me that cavemen, sitting around a fire, never had a discussion that went something like this:
\"Uhg, Kron, you fart?\"
\"No look me, Durg.\"
\"Uhg, uhg, Kron farted.\"
\"Me no fart!\"
\"Kron, bad. We take Kron on next hunt. Kill beast, one fart.\"
\"Ha ha!\"
\"Me no fart!\"
\"Uhg, take Kron to rival cave. No more war.\"
\"Ha ha!\"
\"ME NO FART!\"
\"Kron clear this cave, no more war.\"
\"Me hate you guys.\"
True story.
And so it has been since time immemorial. The fart joke is so relatable that it\'s filth factor is often forgiven. It doesn\'t take great imagination, nor high intelligence to come up with the fart joke, but even the best of us snicker inside a little when we hear one slip, (assuming you are up-wind) and be honest, you aren\'t above telling your friends about the encounter if it\'ll get laugh too.
So, just remember, it\'s all in how you tell it. If you decide to use it, show some class and respect, and you\'ll see those hands cover the mouths to hide the giggles and nodding winks of approval. Just leave women out of it. Everyone knows, girls don\'t fart.
Cheers.

I love it when my mood matches up to the randomizing of my itunes playlist (I always have it set to random). It\'s a bonus when I look down the list and realize that itunes has put together a very well thought out chronology of songs (of course it\'s random so I\'m really just blowing smoke...). I know what you are thinking though, \"you added all the songs to your list, shouldn\'t they all be awesome?\" Well, yes and no. Sometimes I\'m just not in the mood for Total Eclipse of the Heart
, or Solsbury Hill
and would rather hear Livin\' on a Prayer
or Running on Empty
. Maybe a little In My Solitude
or Rhapsody in Blue
. All good songs in their own right, just not the right song, right now. So, when selecting a certain song and all the others fall into the queue in such a way where I\'m not hitting the bypass button every other song, I find myself grateful. It\'s nice to not have to spend countless minutes trying to figure out what other songs go well with Life on Mars
. Chock one up to the randomization gods, one less thing my lazy tuchas has to contend with.
Now, if I could only have such luck with the randomization of quick pick numbers...
Cheers.

Post Script. A good portion of my blog posts here have revolved around music in some form. This is getting ridiculous, I\'m not even that musical a person. I\'m more of a pop-culture/movie reference person. I need a transition and soon. I\'m going to need to put the mad kibosh on the musical posts. Let the moratorium begin.

I\'m not a fan of crows. I would apologize for admitting this, but you know what, I\'m not sorry. That\'s right crows, I DON\'T LIKE YOU. Don\'t worry, I\'m not going to offend them. Crows don\'t read this blog, or any blog for that matter, because they can\'t read. That\'s not why I dislike them though, it\'s not their fault. The crow education system is more messed up than California\'s.
But I digress, I find crows the most annoying of birds. More annoying than seagulls. Yup, seagulls at least have Johnathan Livingston on their side. What do crows have? The Crow ? Not a fan of that either, probably because I\'m not a fan of crows to begin with, so it was doomed right out of the gate to court my affections.
Crows just love to sit outside my window and caw all day long. What are you cawing at?!!! What is so important that you have caw about it all bloody hours of the day? It can\'t be the End Of Days, because I woke up this morning and the morning before that and the morning before that morning. No earthquake, no ice age, no supervolcano. It can\'t be the days news, because it never changes. The weather changes so it can\'t be that either. I seriously hope it\'s no Cyrano De Bergerac/Romeo & Juliet/Say Anything type of escapade because boy, you are going about it entirely the wrong way (chocolate and burritos are the way to my heart, not incessant cawing ). Even freaking dogs take a break from barking! What the bloody hell are you going on about! Get a freaking blog will you?!!!
You are the ultimate attention mongers. Go compete on the General Discussion forums and get away from my window. Bloody Nora...

I know it is said (I think I even made a blog post about it) that your olfactory senses are the most connected with memory and though that may be true, every bloody thing
I see and hear reminds me of a song. It\'s all I can do to not relate every post I make on the forums to some obscure song lyric because some simmer mentions \"seasons\"... ...To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn...
(The Byrds) or more often ...Seasons chaaaannnggge. Feelings chaaaannngge. It\'s been so long since I\'ve had you, yet it seems like yesterdaaaayaayyy...
(Expose). Or when I\'m reading a thread and I come across a post by Magic_Dancer and all of a sudden I get Tina Tuner telling me ...I\'m your private dancer, a dancer for money, do what you want me to do...
(I hope she doesn\'t my mind me mentioning her, but I\'m fairly certain she doesn\'t read this blog, mostly because nobody reads this blog. So, tree in the woods, right?). Be witty. be a complete and utter female dog or spout song lyrics? It\'s a constant internal struggle. Sometimes the action replaces words in the song. For instance if I need to refresh the page, thank you, Duran Duran ...the reflex is a lonely child, just waiting by the paaaaarrrrk...
promptly becomes ...the refresh is a lonely button, just waiting to get puuushhhed...
It takes over!
It\'s not any better outside the computer.
Going for a jaunt in the stroller. The clouds are out, but look... ...Here comes the sun, doo doo doo doo, here comes the suuunnnn, and I say, it\'s alright... (Das Beatles).
Look up at in the sky. What\'s that? ...There\'s a little black spot on the sun todaaayyyyy. It\'s the same old thing aaaaas yesterdaaaaayyyy... (Das Police).
A little breeze blows past and ...I close my eeeeeyyyeeees. Only for a moment and the moments gone. All my dreeeeaaaams pass before my eyes of curiousity. Duuuust in the wind... (Kansas).
It happens in conversation (or more to the point, people talking at me).
\"If I have to tell you one more time \" ...we gonna celebraaaaate, oh yeah. It\'s alright. Don\'t stop the dancin\'...
Fighting with Suzie Jenkins, \"Hey! Quit it! Dooooonnnn\'t! Stoooooopppppp! \"... believing. Hold on to that feeeeeellllliiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg...
And it happens in the random thoughts as well.

Arrrghh! My sippy cup is so far away... doesn\'t anybody stay in one place anymore...
It\'s maddening sometimes. There are moments when I don\'t want my life to become a musical. It would be nice if my mind wasn\'t constantly convincing its self that it\'s in an episode of Glee.

There are a lot of simple pleasures in life. You don\'t have to look very far to find one. A sippy cup full of nectar, a warm bath (or shower for those who are old enough to take them), a simple song on the radio or MP3 device that evokes a fond memory, even a walk on a beautiful day (beauty to be decided by those experiencing it).
But one of my favorites has got to be the Q-Tip\u00AE. When you have that tickle inside your ear that even you pinky finger can\'t reach... Oh. My. Galoshes! That feeling of getting in that area and just swirling it around in your ear... I am fairly certain my leg does that kick that dogs get when you scratch just that specific area. Indescribable (though I\'m still trying). All I can say is thank goodness for the Costco\u00AE three pack.

So, I heard this on NPR about a recent study into the development of human intelligence. Listen or read the clip below for the full story (actually the abridged and far more humorous story).
NPR\'s Wait, Wait, Don\'t Tell Me , sound clip. Specifically the part is at 2:20 if you don\'t want to listen to the rest of the audio.
http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=137261569&m=137261554
If for some reason that link is eventually taken down, here is the trantextdocumentoftenusedtodisplaydialogue (yup, it did it again) of the entire conversation on the radio newsquiz.
SAGAL: Luke, scientists have tried to figure out for years why humans developed their powers of reason. Was it to help survive without fur or claws? To out compete other, larger, more powerful animals in the hunt for prey? Well a new theory says that we developed our high intelligence in order to do what to our fellow man?
That\' right. To win arguments. So, if that is true, then the internet was created to keep us from achieving that directive, yet to make sure we never to stop trying.

Mr. BURBANK: Oh, I feel like I\'m not going to like the answer to this. Is it about being, like, mean to our fellow man in some way?
SAGAL: Yes, it is.
Mr. BURBANK: Can I have another hint?
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. BURBANK: Because I kind of already had that one in my head, so that doesn\'t even count as a hint.
Ms. SALIE: Convince us your right with your answer.
Mr. BURBANK: Can I have a hint from Peter?
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: Her hint was actually quite good.
Mr. BURBANK: Oh, okay. To lie to people or to talk people into things?
SAGAL: Right. Basically, to win arguments.
(Soundbite of bell)
SAGAL: To show other people that they\'re wrong. That\'s why we developed intelligence.
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: It turns out, the reason human beings developed intelligence was not to be better hunters or better survive against other species, but to win arguments. See, the thing that has always puzzled people about human intelligence, how humans got so smart, is why humans are still so stupid.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: Because we continually believe things that are incorrect and behave irrationally. And so people evolved, it turns out, the ability to convince themselves they were right even when they were full of it. You see, that\'s the explanation.
Mr. ROCCA: That\'s interesting.
Ms. SALIE: Does this mean that politicians are the most evolved among us?
SAGAL: Exactly.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: So while it\'s true your caveman ancestor was walking around like \"ugh, ugh,\" there was also another caveman interrupting, saying, \"actually, it\'s pronounced, \"yeugh, yeugh.\"

Just found out that I can\'t write words with the word S C R I P T in them.
For instance: Doctor endorsed allotments of medication are called \"preions\" (yes, taken from the below blog post, how do you think I came across this nugget of information... ) it comes out as (and I haven\'t hit submit button yet so to me everything looks all apples and pears but to you it will look as if I just mispelled the word twice, so bear with me ) \"preions\". That\'s PRE-IONS, as in what comes before those charged particles? No, silly, it\'s missing the root word!
Let\'s try again. When you recite from a holy document you are quoting \"ure\". Again, I\'m fairly certain it comes out \"ure\". Who bloody quotes ure? olics? rews? terians? (don\'t get excited, those I purposefully misspelled )
One more time: To tear the fabric of your dress is to
\"ocillopermualuate\" which then becomes \"ocillopermualuate\". Okay, that\'s not really an actual word, but you get the point. The missing word was in there... somewhere.
So, why? Why take out this word. What are the bad connotations that it may purvey? Or, is it thinking I\'m writing some sort of code? I can bloody well write url and img and they show up (of course neither are in their necessary brackets ) but \"\" is simply written out like normal. Rather odd, I feel. Now to fix the below blog post so people aren\'t wondering how you dole out \"perions\". Seriously?!!

They say \"laughter is the best medicine\". That is good, because I\'m not a fan of Robitussen\u00AE. It tastes like warm Dr. Pepper\u00AE (or Mr. Pibb\u00AE, for those who don\'t mind knock offs, which beeteedub, a knock off of a crappy product to begin with, is bottled disaster, no pun intended) mixed with stale black licorice. Blech, indeed. So when at the store make sure to ask you local pharmaceutical attendant what aisle the Laughter is on, as it is generally more palatable.
Though, do make sure to read the risks of taking Laughter. Side effects may include, sore abdominals, light headedness, dry mouth and bladder leakage.
I\'m just kidding. It probably doesn\'t include dry mouth, so not to worry there.
One day when I grow up and leave this one sandbox town *shakes fist*, I hope to become a drug store pharmacist, prescribing said remedies to the ill.

When you lose something, it is hard to deal with. When something goes away, a part of you goes with it. It\'s like a piece of you dies. You mourn the loss and try to move on, but it\'s often not that easy. If only I had been more proactive, if only I had tried to stop it from leaving... That feeling of wanting it to return, wanting it back, is it reciprocated? Does it feel the same way?
But when it does come back to you, it\'s like a halleluiah chorus ringing out in a choir all around you. It\'s like the clouds part and sunshine rains down upon you. Joy in tangible form, the stuff that songs are written about.
So thank you, Costco, for bringing back Frosted Flakes\u00AE to my local warehouse. You really made my day.

My friend has a theory. They say that you get a song stuck in your head because you don\'t know all the lyrics to said song. It is usually just a small part of the song that is repeating inside your mind and your brain cannot find the missing interludes it needs to complete the song and be rid of it. That is why you often don\'t get songs you know very well incessantly rattling around in your head.
I don\'t know if this is true but until I find the lyrics that follow \"Saw you driving \'round town with the girl I love, and I\'m like... \", I think I\'ll hold to this theory. Seriously, what am I \"like\"?
This is why I stick to my classical music.

A picture comes to mind of a United States Navy aircraft carrier with a big banner spread across its bridge that says \"Mission Accomplished\". I\'m not sure what they were classifying as a \"mission\" over there but if it was a late night doughnut run, well then democracy is secure for all those in the Middle East. -*disappointed emoticon*-
As for the General Discussion forums, Sim News 1\'s \"Mission Accomplished\" seems that calling out three people repeatedly was enough to dance the cabbage patch to, while We Are the Champions by Queen played in the background. Well, job well done, I say. Enjoy those doughnuts, chaps. I had high hopes for you. -*disappointed emoticon, now with 10% more bitterness*-
Mission Deserted.

Well, it\'s not raining, but I like them too, Mondays... their just another day to me.
I truly enjoy cloudy days. Living in southern California, the sun is a rather persistent entity. Not anything against the sun, sun good. Vitamin D, good for the soul. But it is cloudy so rarely that it is almost a treat. There is a unique beauty to the world when the light is diffused through the clouds. You notice things that you did not notice before. Copse of trees off in the distance that now seem more prominent because the shadows are now diluted, the ocean has a deeper quality to its visage and depending on the types of clouds things can sometimes take on a more ominous demeanor. It\'s all a matter of preference, I imagine, but I enjoy the change. It\'s rather enjoyable for the four days a year we get to appreciate it.
I apologize to those who see cloudy days more often, but I have a feeling you feel the same way with bright sunny days. Either way, take pleasure in the differences that are presented to you when they arrive.
Cheers.

Ponderings and Furrowed Brows...

Is an uninformed decision considered stupid?
Is a baseless opinion to be considered irrelevant?
Can an opinion be considered wrong?
Is a misinterpretation truly different than any other interpretation?
When in doubt, just smile and nod. A slight nod, rather slow and ponderous, and wry smile like the Mona Lisa or Han Solo.
Cheers.

There is no telling how long I will be able to access my My Blog knowing the fantastically finely tuned machine that is the EA Sims 3 Website and it\'s record, so I shall attempt to post a blog entry every day (that I can). Even though I know no one reads these it is more for my own benefit. The more of my thoughts I get out of my head, the more room I make for obscure song lyrics and synopsis to campy 70\'s television shows. So, today\'s post:
I\'m seriously obsessed with Pachelbel\'s Canon in D lately. So obsessed that I downloaded four alternate versions from itunes recently to compliment my already vast cornucopia or versions I have on these plastic round things people call \"compact discs\" (and even one on something called an \"LP\" or \"Record\". I believe it was found in some archeological dig in Egypt). Regardless, though Pachelbel was really a one-hit-wonder I believe that his one hit to be the greatest of one-hit-wonders, even better than Aha\'s Take on Me (yes, I am aware of The Living Daylights and though I do enjoy that song as well, let\'s be honest, it was not a hit, but only famous because of it being a Bond theme song. And therefore even though they had two songs that were famous, only one was a hit and thusly makes Aha a one-hit-wonder).
Cheers.

So, for some reason I\'m able to post on my blog here on my My Page again, which is just nifty. I still can\'t reply to any of the messages left on my My Page. Sooooo, that still needs to be worked out and perhaps in due time EA will get around to it before I turn purple and die of self asphyxiation. So until such time comes to pass please don\'t take it personally that I don\'t respond to your messages if you\'ve deemed me worthy to leave any. I\'m not purposefully
ignoring you. Well, that\'s all for now.
I wonder if I\'ll keep updating this now that I have the ability to. Time will tell. Yes, time will tell. Time, that ever enduring tattle tale.
Cheers.
