Societal Freefall

Originally posted on June 03, 2008

Before I was married, I simply used tissues when I was sick. Now that my wife’s hillbilly state has corrupted me I’m married, I use toilet paper. Or paper towels. Or napkins. And now that my work cut costs and my last bastion of hope no longer affords me such luxury, I’ve resorted to using paper screen cleaning wipes to try and rid myself of this blasted head cold. Maybe in another three years of living here I’ll think it’s perfectly acceptable to put my car on blocks in my front lawn while my chickens mill about aimlessly.

The depths of incivility to which I’ve fallen cannot be measured by anything but the sound of gently weeping, well-mannered angels. Angels who console themselves with plush Kleenex™ coated with aloe-y goodness.

Lucky bastards.

Going through my feed reader, this post cracks me up. Tell me you are not using screen cleaning cloths for real... I'm dying with laughter!

Sadly, it's true. I got called out on it by the secretary on Friday.

There's a sliver of hope that the new fiscal year (July 1) might bring me some real tissues.

Pipe Dreams

I used to smoke a pipe. I hated cigarettes, but enjoyed the social aspects of tobacco. So I smoked a pipe during college, often on the roof of our house watching the sun set.

I'm sure people at the bars thought I was a nerd. At least they enjoyed the smell though.
