December 31st, 1979

There was a That 70s Show episode on tonight that took place on December 31st, 1979. I remember where I was on December 31st, 1979.

Present from my son

He said he picked the prettiest bug.

Overheard from an Admin

"You know I don't care about money and all that stuff but he's my boss and you know what he gave me for Christmas? A box of Lindt chocolates, that's $7, and [inaudible], that's $15. He spent $20!"

He knows he won't get everything but he believes that the more he puts in the more he will get, and every year he puts in more and gets a smaller percentage.

Serious Jedi insult

You think with your light saber.

I like being the boy that I am

My son.
What kind of boy are you?
You know, nice... friendly...

Because I would not stop for gas

it kindly stopped for me.

Funny things

are sometimes sad.
Sad things are never funny.

There's always someone

who wants you to do something different.
Or at least differently.
