a new twist

as we all know by now, Cincinnati does not have very many snow plows - actually, I have yet to see one. As a result, they have ingeniously developed a salt pellet that houses a little man with a snow plow. When there is a threat of snow - the salt trucks scatter millions of these microscopic individuals onto the roads. In theory, the little men work all night long and clear the roads by morning rush hour. The "powers at be" - being as observant as they are - noticed that the poor little men in the salt pellets were either dieing or being extremely unproductive. So, as a result, they have decided to also spread beet juice on the roads. See, this way the little men would have sustenance to work through the night. I have to say, the little men did not do that bad of a job last night. Perhaps McDonalds will want to get in on this - who likes beet juice anyways?



These are the little men who keep our roads "clean". You can see how they are contained within the salt pellet. This is an extremely magnified view.

v-day

valentines day. what a waste. if i have said it once, well... this is not a new rant - i think it happens every february... but it is one of those damn holidays that is a marketing holiday - not that they all aren't - but a holiday that makes people who are not "in love" - whatever the hell that means - feel bad. if i see another comercial for match.com, eharmony.com, or comegetmebigboyiwantyounow.com - for valentine cards - for little heart-shaped candies - if i hear on the radio one more commerial for some jewelry store... well frankly, i just don't know what i'll do. actually - i do. i will do nothing as usual - and wait until the 14th goes by. maybe i just need a thicker fucking skin - i will soon be a reptile... oh yeah. hm.
