Random thoughts from today  

Posted by Ryan Woods

I had a woman sit at my table the other day whose name was Happiness. I saw her drivers license and her name was Happiness Rae Something (I don't remember the last name). Pretty cool huh? She tipped like crap.
I like when people do movie lines trivia. I like it 'cause it amazes me how people can remember movie lines. I just can't do it. I've seen Anchorman so many times and yet my wife still corrects me when I do a Burgandy quote. I'm actually pretty pathetic. Here is an example of the kind of quotes I can/can't come up with. Here is Ryan's movie line trivia:

  1. "Uh oh. I don't think this is right"
  2. "Hey, you over there!"
  3. "It just might take three of us"
  4. "I'm hungry"
  5. "Whose up for some dinner?"

You see, it just doesn't work. They're ambiguous. They could be from any number of movies, and yet they're all I can think of. Pathetic.

My wife's mad at me for scaring her earlier. I wasn't trying to scare her though. I just wanted to tell her that I loved her. I made her pee her pants. Almost. I made her heart beat rapidly...sounds like love doesn't it? Love is a beautiful thing. All you need is love...wait...All you need is love and honesty...love, honesty...oh, and emotional stability...So there's stability, love, honesty, and trust. Trust is a big one...and respect...love, honesty, emotional health, trust, and respect...and toothbrushing. Seriously, who can love someone who doesn't brush? If you don't brush you can't be respected. So there's trust, and then honesty, love, dental care of course, emotional health, and respect...love is such a beautiful thing.

I think it's funny to pronounce some words wrong. Like "public" for example. It's funnier to pronounce it "poob-lick". Or it's funny to pronounce words like "devil" or "evil" as they are supposed to be pronounced. They should rhyme right? Eeevil and Deeevle right? Or how about Monkey and Donkey. Good and Food. You get the idea. It's actually quite intruiging once you get going. My favorite word by far though is still pooblic. Rock on pooblic. Rock on. Pooblic forever and ever amen.

Nice reference to "The Jerk". I definitely caught that quote.

proof that you and Jess are sould mates: Pooblick and Booblick.

I just watched The Jerk all the way thru for the first time last week and now, all i can think of is his Special Purpose. Can't help it. The roomies put up some Jesus/ Lighthouse pictures in the hallway and one of them says something about "His special purpose"... I laugh every time...

Sometimes I wish she would pee her pants... right infront of Laundry Caper's door. Perhahps that would be a good halloween prank.. .you guys can go pee on her door...

remember when you had that lady at your table and her name was Vagina or something? She was a bad tipper too.

I thought you were going to say that you like it when people mispell public and write pubic on accident...

At one of the software companies I worked for, our head lawyer once sent out a press release and accidently wrote "pubic" instead of "public." It was the best day ever.

I used to have this boss named Clint...maybe you have heard of him. Anyhoo, on more than one occasion, when telling someone his name, they would get this horrified/shocked expression on their face because I had apparently not pronounced the "N" enough. Think through that one for a second.
