Stuff... and stuff

  • I have just recently been introduced to the joy that is Roly Poly (Purveyor of Fine Sandwiches, Soups & Salads... or so I'm told. Thus far, I've only sampled the sandwiches). They do wrap-style sandwiches... and they have an extensive selection of vegetarian options (extensive=8), which means I can actually dine there... always a plus when I'm hungry. After my first visit, I texted my friend (a fellow vegetarian... she was vacationing in Florida, otherwise I would have shared the happy news with her face-to-face) who first informed me of the existence of the establishment and let her know that, having just finished wolfing down a Monster Veggie, I was no longer a Roly Poly virgin. She told me she was happy for me, but that I should've gone with the California Hummer instead... her reasoning being that a hummer is always a good call for "breaking in" a virgin. I like Sherrie!
  • The next great spectator sport??? Competitive sentence diagramming
  • I'm going to write a novel someday. As of now, I have no ideas for a setting, era... or even a plot. All I have is a name for my protagonist... "Ubiquitous Bill"
  • Why are there no "plus size" models for men's underwear?
  • As time passes, Beach Boy Brian Wilson reminds me more and more of the "Carl the groundskeeper" character from Caddyshack
  • I'd like to see the jheri curl become fashionable again
  • PUPPIES!!!

  • Heard this one from a cabbie in Belfast... "What is the only difference between an Irish wedding and an Irish wake? One less drunk."
  • My dad, whom I love dearly, has developed some interesting fascinations as he has grown older, foremost amongst them... inkpens and flashlights. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that he hoards these items
  • I feel that Anson Carter is not given the credit due him as a trailblazer... the first NHL player to sport dreadlocks

Anson Carter? Huh, I could have sworn it was Guy Lafleur. Wow, I guess I owe that guy $627. Thanks, Ted.
