This random photo that was taken some time this morning by my increasingly intelligent and unmanageable computer is notable not because I look super cool with my shades on my head (admit it, it is pretty damn rad), but rather because the background reveals that I reorganized my office furniture. In case you missed the 20/20 piece on this topic last week, now you know. Also, that box on the right is a box of 1000 Check a Biz Sponsor double sided static cling decals. They turned out super! Yay for Check a Biz.
I found some analogies that were originally found in some high school students' papers. If you ask me, they should hire these kids to write a sitcom. Anything would be better than "Deal or No Deal." Except perhaps "Show Me The Money." Ugh… William Shatner is now officially a Shatner impersonator, and shitty one at that.
Anyway, here are the highlights...
My favorite - He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn’t.
Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long it had rusted shut.
He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
It looks like this is all just really good video editing. I can't imagine how long it took to put it all together.
Since I can't make any promises about my posts being substantively interesting, I figured I'd let you know about a little thing I discovered a couple days ago that will make the text on your computer smooth and sleek like the butt of a baby Ferrari.
If you already know about this, or if your computer's settings already had this feature enabled, sorry.
