Attitude affects the kind of person you choose to be, but to believe that positive thinking affects the universe or the laws of probability is, to me, the height of arrogance and narcissism.

Have you ever noticed that everything they do to train astronauts - bouncing them up and down, spinning them in circles - is just like toys that babies play with?

It was all so perfect I thought it might be a dream, but then I noticed that other people could see you too, and I knew it was all too real. I think I will always remember that day with fondness."

Especially that chewing gum thing.

Newspaper circulation continues to decline. Pretty soon, there won't be any "paper" in the newspaper - which is convenient, because for a while now, there hasn't been any "news" either.

I've always thought that if the religion you belong to meets a place called a "compound", then you're probably in a cult.

They say that psychos start off small by pulling the wings off of flies, so that they can't fly anymore. But I think the real psychos pull their legs off, so that they can't land.

If I owned a hot dog stand in New York City, I would set it outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, because everyone says that artists are always starving

Why aren't the people who make Doritos and Oreos lobbying to legalize marijuana? Because their sales would skyrocket

It's not easy being awesome, but somehow I manage

If a theoretical physicist landed on a planet of monkey people who hunt fire-breathing blood worms for food, the monkey people would probably kill him because they didn't understand what he was talking about, and he wasn't any help to them. In a way, that's kind of what happened to Jesus.

If we don't bomb the moon, then the terrorists win

I explained Relativity, the basics of quantum mechanics, and String Theory to a 10 year old tonight.

When Anthony Carter was first drafted to the Denver Nuggets, I like to think that he ran home and yelled "Mom! Mom! I'm a Nugget! I'm a Nugget!" and then she said proudly, "I always knew that deep down there was a Nugget in you just waiting to come out!"

When I start to feel old, I like to think that if I was running for President, all of my critics would be saying how young and inexperienced I am. That makes me feel better.

If I knew Bruce Wayne in real life, I think that I would probably think he was a jerk, and if I knew Batman in real life I would also think he was a jerk, but for completely different reasons.

Do people who like U2 consider themselves Pro-Bono?

On TV when the police say "Don't panic, just act naturally" I always think, what if that person is naturally panicky? Won't people think it's weird if they're calm?

I say, instead of having her testify against her abductor in court, we should give Elizabeth Smart a broomstick, a lighter, a pair of pinking shears and a gallon of gas, then leave her in a room with him for 15 minutes. Then see if he's fit to stand trial.

Uncle Jesse from Dukes of Hazzard, I think the Full House Uncle Jesse would win.

I think the Riddler has the worst super-power, because having a compulsion to tell Batman what you're going to do before you do it hardly even seems like a super-power. I bet all the other super-villians wouldn't even tell him what their plans were until much later.

All of the seats in my kids' school are cut in half, so that they can only sit down on their right sides. The teachers' said it was part of the Presidents' initiative, "No Child's LEFT BEHIND"

I saw some kids waiting outside this morning because they missed the bus. So much for "No Child Left Behind"

I just think if you guys are REALLY against dog fighting, then maybe we should be teaching dogs to get along better. I'm just sayin', if a bunch of dogs go at it, I'm not getting involved.

Going out to eat at TGI O'Chili's

I actually went and saw "New Moon" last night. I thought the Werewolves were cool with their shirtless cliff-diving and eating huge muffins, and can't believe Bella chose the sniffy, preening anal-retentive Vampires - But then, I also wonder what any of them saw in her, all moody and mopey and hallucinating and panicky. I was waiting for someone to tell her "Get over it!"

I want to live on the beach. Not in a house on the beach, but on the actual beach, in a lean-to with a laptop and a sleeping bag.

When the Revolution comes, I hope I'm not in the bathroom

When you die and go to Heaven and they hand you a menu, it may be that whatever you order they'll just keep serving you forever. So be careful, and ask if there's a buffett. That way, you don't wind up eating the meatloaf forever.

If my last name was Orr, I would marry a girl named Anne Button, and she would be Anne Button-Orr, and then at the wedding reception our first dance would be that Conjunction Junction song that goes "I've got Anne Button-Orr, and she'll get you pretty far!"

If we ever get to the point where we can control the weather, it's just going to be one more thing to fight over

If a horse gets sick, do doctors say they're in stable condition?

If Michelle Pfeifer or Halle Berry get sick, would the doctors automatically order a CAT scan?

I say we should call this decade the Naughties, and the next decade should be called the Teenies.

Even though I've gone to church my whole life, some things church people do still freak me out. Like when they're talking about kids and they use the word "Tender". That's creepy.

The ex sent Christmas presents for the boys, to remind them that she's still their mom, and still won't answer the phone when they call. What's that psychological term for a parent who says "Come here, go away"...? Like, she wants them to know that she's there, and then remind them that she doesn't want them?

Eternity is not a place you go after you die to be punished or rewarded; Eternity is not mystical or faraway, neither is it hypothetical or hard to understand; Eternity is today, your attitude, the things that are important to you and how you treat the people closest to you. You choose your own Eternity, not at the moment of death or at some faraway throne of judgement, but right now, and everyday. Choose wisely.

If I was Tom Petty, my fourth album would have been called Petty IV

Among the basic tenets of the Buddha's Four Noble Truths is the notion that people, in their ignorance and attachment to material things, cause their own suffering. This is in line with my own belief that people cause all of my suffering as well.

Faith is not an empirical matter. That's why it's called faith, and not proof: To a person of faith, lack of empirical data makes God more than what can be seen or measured, and not less.

Some mornings, it seems like my kids really help keep me grounded. Like ice on the wings of an airplane.

The Georgia House GOP caucus this morning is voting for our next Speaker. Or should I say, "The GOP Caucasians"

Truth is universal. Is there a love that is unique to the Christian, a compassion known only by the Buddhist, a kindness that Muslims keep to themselves? Just as the sun brings warmth to all, and the rain falls on the just and the unjust, let compassion, kindness and love be what they are, without judgment or reservation.

All you need is love. And food, water, clothing, shelter, and oxygen.

Having my first night alone in many many months

My favorite Christmas movie is the original "Die Hard"

When you give, give from your heart, and let that become part of who you are. Don't worry where the gift is going, or if the receiver is properly grateful: Let that be part of who they are. Giving with conditions or expectations isn't even giving; it's an exchange.

I just heard a country song called "Live Like You Were Dying" about how you should treasure every moment, which is a good message, except some people do live like they're dying, and we call those people hypochondriacs, so I think to be accurate he should call it "Live Like You Were Dying (Of Something That Didn't Require Constant Medical Attention)"

I want to say yes, but no

Saying all Muslims are terrorists is like saying all Christians are Branch Davidians

My favorite day of the year is almost here! The day after Christmas!

If I hear a crime being committed, am I an earwitness?

There are things you know to be true, which your physical senses don't observe. Which then do you trust, the internal or the external? That which you know yourself, or that which you can prove to others? And is it more logical or intelligent to trust one over the other?

I’m in a relationship with THIS PLATE OF BROWNIES

When I think of all the time I've wasted wondering what might have been, I get so depressed!

They say when you're speaking in public, it helps to imagine everyone in their underwear. I picture people in their underwear anyway, even if I'm not public speaking. And they're right - it does help.

Sometimes all you can ask for is one good day.

I hate it when people start off conversations saying "Here's the thing" and then there's never a thing

If I say "Happy New Year" am I wishing you a Happy New Year's DAY or am I wishing you a whole year? Because wishing someone a whole year is a lot of pressure, and frankly I don't know if I want that responsibility. Plus, it's using up all of my wish-granting powers at the beginning of the year. So if I say it to you, it's just for the day. Happy New Year!

What if I take one of those huge toy promotional buttons from Staples, and when I die you can put it inside my jacket, so that when they close the casket you hear "That was easy!" really loud....?

If there was a Christian group that went to other countries to fix the manual clutches on people's cars, they would be called Transmission Missions

When I die I want someone to leave my cellphone in my pocket and turn it up all the way, and then during the viewing someone call my number and everyone will hear my voice going "Hi, this is Mark..."

If you're talking to someone and they hear half of what you say, draw an erroneous conclusion, get offended based on that conclusion, cut off the conversation, and then blame you for the conflict, what are the odds that you're talking to a woman?

If I ever had a daughter, I would never name her Maureen, because whenever there's trouble in the world, the U.S. always deploys the Maureens first, and I don't believe in sending babies into combat

If there was an alien disease that caused complete loss of short term memory, I think the worst part would be having to tell someone that they had it, because you would have to have that same conversation with them every day for the rest of your life

Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, So Watch Out For Uranus

If you think you can overcome all of your character flaws, that's another character flaw

It's time that we as a nation asked ourselves, what does it mean to ask a rhetorical question?

If you think jokes about drug use are funny, you must be high

Zen joke of the day: Why did the Buddha swallow four quarters? Because he believed that change must come from within

She kept wanting to take it to another level, but I don't have another level

The time to procrastinate is NOW!

No cats, no obsessive feelings about college football, no lists of medical reasons why you won't work out, no more than three drug prescritions at a time, no making excuses for kids or exes in prison, no telling me how my own kids feel like you know them better than me, no hostility towards religion, no "Daddy" issues

Reason #9251 Why I'm Still Single: All of my men friends "Relationship Status" are either Married or Single, All of my women friends are either Married or "It's Complicated". To guys, it's never complicated.

All those people who went on Match Game and Hollywood Squares in the 1970's and won lifetime supplies of Rice'R Roni (The San Francisco Treat)...? I bet now they're sick of Rice'R Roni and curse the day they ever went on a game show. I bet they stand in their driveways every day waving off trucks trying to deliver more... Rice'R Roni, and I bet they wake up screaming at night "NO more San Francisco Treat! No More!"

If I worked in a proctologist's office, every time someone came into the waiting room, I would say "The doctor will rectify your problem shortly" and then giggle.

On Star Trek, I bet they always have to warn kids not to play with duodynetic anti-matter quantum particle injectors

A neighbor kid came over yesterday and said "My mom wants to borrow a cup of AWESOME!!"

The hotter a woman is, the more interesting her stories about her cats are

Having me on your friends list is like winning a lifetime supply of AWESOME!!!

Never take your children to the interactive Museum of Guns and Fire

I would feel better about Brown's win except that in six months or a year everyone's going to hate him and want more "change"; as long as we focus on what's best for our own agenda, rather than trying to elect competent, intelligent people who can work TOGETHER with the other side, any "change" is going to be short-lived.... George Washington had the right idea about political parties: He was against them altogether.

To be clinically accurate, "The Moody Blues" should have been called "The Chronic Depression Triggered By Multiple Manic Episodes"

Do I hate it when people ask questions that they answer themselves? Yes. Do I do it anyway just to annoy you? Absolutely!

Helpful interview tip for job-seekers: At the end of the interview, when you're given the opportunity to ask questions of the interviewer, it's a BAD idea to say "Did people make fun of your nose when you were a kid?"

A comparison of modern philosophies will often highlight similarities rather than differences: For instance, Lao Tzu (the Father of Taoism) said "To be is to do" while 17th century philosopher Kierkegaard said "To do is to be", and Frank Sinatra said "Doobie Doobie Doobie"

I was thinking how irresponsible it is for pirates to be teaching young children to drink rum, and how it would be better if they said something along the lines of "Yo Ho Ho and a glass of unsweetened fruit juice" but then I remembered, oh yeah, Pirates.

If the Moody Blues all started taking Prozac, would they be called the Well-Adjusted Blues?

When cars learn to drive themselves, will they also learn to complain about traffic?

The first time I heard the word "jealous" I didn't know what it meant and I thought they were talking about "jelly" like with peanut butter. True story. Not interesting, but true.

Courage isn't the opposite of fear. Fear is what you feel, a primal emotional response to perceived danger; Courage is what you do, a call to sometimes act despite whatever you may feel. Sometimes you have to act and stop wasting so much effort thinking that you should be feeling a different way about it.

In the hospitality business, having four Motel 6's is like having three Super 8's

Why don't people put marshmallows in coffee?

Let's take a moment and remember Dr. King, and the dream that he shared with this nation. Also, let us be grateful that it wasn't that dream where you're out in public and suddenly realize you're naked.

Sad: I lost my cell phone for 2 days. Sadder: I didn't miss any calls.

If I somehow went back in time to, say, the 17th century, and got stuck there with no way home, I wouldn't mind so much because I could get rich selling antiques. Because they would be everywhere, and they would be in perfect condition.

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Proverbs 8:17

I don't remember the Great Depression but I do remember the first time anyone tried to tell me that things were worse than they were since the Great Depression, and that was Bill Clinton in 1992

I am grateful to Martin Luther King because, thanks in large part to what he did, I didn't have to grow up in a country where I was separated from anyone based on race or color. When I hear older people talk about how things are different from how they used to be, I try to remember that change is not always a bad thing

I'm watching the movie "Gran Torino" for the first time. It's kind of like the story of the Grinch, except with Dirty Harry.

Isn't it weird that Dirty Harry lived in San Francisco, possibly the most liberal city in the U.S.? Was that meant to send a message? And when you think about it, he wasn't dirty at all. They should have called him Clean Harry. Maybe it was the liberals who called him "dirty" because he offended their sense of fair play? Am I over-thinking this?

If your mailman is rude, would you call him an uncivil servant?

I’m watching DVDs of an 80's show called "The Equalizer" and the theme song back then was all cutting-edge and electronic, but now its just distracting because I keep thinking his cell phone is ringing.

Once I played poker with Tarot cards. I got a straight flush and my house burned down.

I thought of another great Veggie Tales character - A lime that's the captain of a submarine, the Sub-Lime

If mice and rats don't like being caged up in labs, is that called preclinical depression?

I think it would be a good episode of Veggie Tales if there was asparagus or broccolli that taught a lesson about stalking

If I had to come up with a plan to take over the world and enslave all of mankind, I would start with Cheez-Its. Because once you start on a box of Cheez Its, it's impossible to stop

I was crazy about my kindergarten teacher, Miss Wells, but it didn't work out. She said she didn't think of me "in that way". But even now when I hear that song "B-I-N-G-O" I get weepy. That was our song.

When I was little my parents caught me stealing copper wire from an active generator. I was grounded.

If my life was a TV show, I think most people would watch it going "Yeah, right!"

Money can't buy love. Believe me, I've tried.

Sometimes I wish I was Batman, except I wouldn't actually want to go out jumping off buildings and punching people as hard as I could or having to stay up all night. OK, I wish I was Bruce Wayne, except without the emotional scars and dead parents.

Life is not measure by how many breaths you take, but by how many times you have the breath knocked out of you

Why don't people stage cow fights or cat fights or monkey fights? Why is it always roosters or dogs?

Do zoos in China have racoons and possums in them?

....and she's buying a Stairway to AWESOME!!!

For some people, the worst punishment is a long life

I’m tired

Yesterday I missed my ex-wife, but my aim is getting better

This is crazy This is crazy This is crazy

What do you call it when a woman imagines a conflict where none really exists, then blames the other person for it, insists that everyone take sides, allows resentment to build until she can barely talk about anything else, and the other person doesn't even know anything about it or what caused it? Because I call that "dangerously insane."

Whenever I have to leave my lunch in the company refrigerator, I never put my own name on it. I always write "MANSON" in big blocky letters so people think it's the lunch of an insane serial killer. Because first of all, who wants that guy pissed at you, but also, who knows what's in that sandwich, right?

Sometimes its easy to give, because we give from stength and from abundance; it takes a certain kind of courage to accept help. Allow others to be a blessing, admit your need and accept what's offered with grace and gratitude, and leave no room in your heart for shame or regret.

Am I supposed to be insulted at being called a "typical guy"?

I hate it when chicks insist I take sides in conflicts that they imagine

Today's Random Country Song Title: "I'm In Love With The Kaiser (Because That's How I Roll)"

Two or three times in the last week, something dog-sized waddled up to my window at night and looked inside, blinked a couple times and then waddled off. I think it's a very big possum, but isn't it awfully cold for possums to be out?

Today someone told me that I am amazing, but it doesn't feel any different than just being my usual awesome

The last woman I went out with told me she was a dog person and unfortunately, she really was

It never rains in California. No wonder there are wildfires.

Just because I laugh at you doesn't mean you're funny

You have the right to remain AWESOME!!

When you see someone judging someone else, be careful that you don't judge them for judging.

Not going to say anything else about Pat Robertson! All I'll say is this: I like to think of God in terms of possibilities and not absolutes, because who knows His Mind? Even so, I have a hard time when people talk about curses and pacts with the Devil. Also, Robertson made reference to Napoleon III, who never even ruled over Haiti - That was his uncle, Napoleon Bonaparte. Let's at least get our history right.

Most people look at things as they are and say "Why?" A dreamer looks at things as they could be and says "Why not?" I just kind of sit back and say "What the hell?"

I went to the Infantry museum but there were no infants there. It's funny because they were all adults at the Adultery Museum.

I have to fight with my son for 30 minutes to get him to do a job that takes 5 seconds

I used to think that relationships were like a birdcage, small and confining. But now I think they're more like an open, warmly-lit living room with a big bay window...that you smack into when you try to fly through it.

Chickens aren't very good at accepting criticism. Everytime you try to talk to them, they balk.

If we have nothing to fear but fear itself, I hate to tell you this, but that's still having something to fear

Misery loves company. It runs a shuttle back and forth to my house.

You can't hold on to things, because the more you do the more they slip away. Learn to let go! Unless you're a trapeze artist, or work in a maternity ward.

Always think positive, unless you're taking a drug test, or work in a free clinic

Misery really does love company. My company, apparently.

Don't force your religious beliefs on me by telling me what kind of day to have

I know you're not really laughing out loud, but your LOL is encouraging

If I owned a bank, I would want Eddie Money to do commercials for me

I love sarcastic chicks

I think it would be funny if Ronald McDonald and Michael McDonald switched places

If you hate something, hit it with a shovel. If it comes back to you, run like hell.

If I am ever part of a Presidential entourage, I want my Secret Service codename to be "Dumptruck"

Entropy is the universal tendency towards disorder by which all matter and energy will one day exist as useless background radiation and white noise. Given that the universe is highly ordered, and given this universal descension into its natural state of Chaos, how then can anyone discount even the possibility that Something had to have created it in the first place?

There used to be a little Deli in Richmond where all the menu items were named after Philadelphia landmarks, and the Kensington Avenue was liverwurst, onions, mustard, Swiss cheese and horseradish on a foot-long rye sub roll. As you go about your day today, take a moment to remember the most awesome sandwich ever created.

I wonder if Marty McFly's teacher ever told him that he doesn't make good use of his time

I love you so much because you're such an awesome person, unless you reject me then I hate you because you're an ass

My last girlfriend kept telling me that I only go after women who are unavailable so that I can avoid making a commitment, but I think she was just repeating what her husband told her

If there was a convention on the top floor of a hotel for a group of writers who published their work anonymously, it could be called Ghost Writers In The Sky

If its bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, how do you know who you're marrying?

There's nothing like a hot espresso in the morning! Except other kinds of coffee are kind of like espresso, but not exactly

Always follow your dream. Unless it's that one where you're out in public and suddenly realize you're naked

I'm watching DVD's of "Chuck" Season 2 in preparation of tonight's third season premiere. For those of you who don't speak Geek, think of "Chuck" as the playoffs, and "Lost" is the Super Bowl

If I had to make a cartoon mascot for the cereal Cracklin' Oat Bran, I would make it a woman named Cracklin' Rosie

I went to the Dollar General and bought a gallon of homogenized milk and the checkout scanner said "1 Homo Gal"

When Vanna White goes to the doctor, does he ask her "When was your last vowel movement?"

Today is Elvis Presley's birthday. Wherever he is, he's 75 years old

Plaid boxers

What do tigers dream of when they take a little tiger snooze?

Of all the kinds of cancer that there are, the one that I am most aware of, and the one that I am most against, is breast cancer. But please don't let this dissuade you in any way from talking about your bra color.

For some reason I keep picturing women in their bras today

Tonight: Slightly cloudy with a chance of AWESOME!!!

Why do women ask men what are they thinking about, when the answer is always the same?

She said she had a sixth sense. Turns out she wasn't psychic; she was refering to her sense of entitlement

To all you people who complain and act superior about how unprepared Georgia is for the snow: Do you have snow tires on your car? Have you bought a snow shovel to clear your driveway? Most of us haven't, because WE DON'T GET SNOW THAT MUCH. I'd rather the city shut down one day every couple years, then spend millions preparing for the eventuality. Love, Mark

One Year Sober

Here's a great name for a country song : "Love Can Build A Bridge (And You Can Get Over It)"

Yes, it is you and yes, you are crazy

Can't stand the snow. I keep thinking of all the freezing cold things I had hoped to leave behind when I moved from Virginia, the snow, the sleet, the icy roads, my ex-wife...

If you have a condition that confuses everyone in the hospital, will they keep you overnight for obfuscation?

If I say something that you think is stupid, just tell me. Because if you say "Excuse me?" I'm just going to say it again, and louder this time.

When life hands you lemons, make margaritas

When people are ready to get serious about putting an end to teenage smoking, I have an idea for an ad campaign where a teenager lights up and then Frankenstein appears and says "Fire, BAD!" and then attacks him. Trust me, no one will want to smoke after that.

Keep it real. Unless you're a plastic surgeon. Or a writer of fiction. Or an actor. Or a manufacturer of astroturf, or Splenda. Or an undercover police detective, or spy.

I'm thinking about trying that George Costanza thing where I do the exact opposite of what my instincts tell me to do, because how bad could things get?

Happy Hump Day (if you know what I mean)

How do you say "Grow The Hell Up" in Klingon?

If Santa Claus formed an 80's metal band, he could sing "Here I am, rock you like a candy cane"

The Weather Channel website says "No End In Sight For Record Cold Temps". Really? So, no spring or summer this year? It's just going to be this cold FOREVER?

There's no I in "team" and there's no D in "refrigerator" or "congratulations" and there's no E in "truly"

When I die, I want a simple Buddhist cremation ceremony, and then I want the ashes mixed in with cocaine and Pop Rocks and given to a bunch of elephants, and then when they go nuts and explode, people will always wonder, was it Mark's ashes that did that, or was it the cocaine and Pop Rocks?

You're having my baby, what a lovely way of saying "We should probably get married now."

If I owned a bank that offered free checking, I would promote it with a commercial that said "Get your money for nothing and your checks for free"

If the Incredible Hulk joined the Beatles, then the song "I Me Mine" would have been called "Hulk Hulk Hulk's"

Someone told me when I talk to her I sound like a therapist, and I said "How does that make you feel?"

If every day was Christmas, the malls would collapse under the weight of all the last-minute shoppers, and no one would ever go on diets

December comes in like a lion and leaves like a whole bunch of lions fighting each other, with machine guns

Is it me?

God doesn't see you as your family or your education or your career, your nationality or race or ethnicity. God doesn't recognize your politics or your religion. God doesn't care what anyone around you thinks of you or even what you think of yourself. God sees you as His child, an individual unique in all of creation.

In this economy, about the only people making money are the ones exporting lead paint to China

Last night at Steak & Shake someone left a whole shake on their table next to us, and I told Lauren I would give her $20 if she went over and sat in the booth and drank the whole thing, but she didn't

If aliens made a robot to take over Sarah Palin, they could call it the Palin-Drone

Happy 01/02/2010!! For those of you reading this backwards, that's 01/02/2010

I had to break up with this chick because we were too different. I was a social butterfly and she was more like a social Rottweiller

My parents always believed in me, because deep down they knew someone kept setting off the fire alarm

When I go in to Fuddruckers and they take my order and ask me what my name is, I always tell them "Good Looking" so when my food is ready, the person at the counter has to announce to everyone in the restaurant "Hey Good Looking, your food is ready!"

When someone dies and you're not quite ready to let go of them, a simple way to feel closer to them is to wear 3-D glasses to the viewing, so that it looks like they're coming right at you

The best way to disarm your opponent is to agree with him

Every year on this day I like to take a moment to thank all the vets for the freedom we enjoy in this country. And every year they escort me out of the animal hospital for "harrassing" them.

There are like three stray cats now taking up permanent residence in my backyard and I am not even feeding them. This is no longer funny.

Remember how Star Wars Episodes I - III came out and everyone was looking for clues how they all tied back to the first three, and at the end Luke and Leia were born and it all came full circle? That's how I think Sex and The City movies are, they end when they all become the Golden Girls

I tell my kids, every time they're bad, a celebrity dies

Faith is a mountain to be climbed, and not a flower to be picked; Wisdom is a tool to be used in service, and not a treasure to be hoarded. Wherever you are in your journey, God is calling you further on, to a deeper understanding and a richer faith than what you have. Don't despair. Rest, but don't turn back.

As a basic rule of thumb, I don't believe in generalizations

I hate it when a chick breaks up with a dude and tells everyone that he was an abusive jerk and how she's so free and finding herself and everyone is all, you go, girl, good for you, he's an ass! And then like a week later she's like, Guess what? We're back together and I've never been happier in my life, isn't it grea...t? And then it's all......*cricket sounds*

The left believes that a centralized Federal government should feed, clothe, employ, and care for every individual in its scope; the right believes that the government should be limited and that individuals should fend for themselves. It seems to me, we focus on maligning, insulting, persecuting and hating each other, ...but until a balance is struck on this one issue, nothing will ever be resolved.

Obama's new policy on gay's in the military: Ask, Tell

Hello, Friday. It's been a long time. You haven't changed a bit.

I never realized how much I had emotionally invested in Law & Order

On TV, whenever anyone hits something with a pillow, the pillow breaks open and feathers fly everywhere. Do people even still have pillows like that?

I want to start marketing a line of translucent cloth footwear that light up when you wear them, and call them Crystal Power Socks

I was thinking that when Quinn walks around the house singing one of the songs he likes, he keeps singing the same two or three lines over and over. But it turns out, those songs only have two or three lines.

My boss said "What's another word for supervision?" and I said "X-ray vision?"

If super-advanced aliens ever came to earth, but they all looked like cows, I bet they would be really pissed if we accidentally ate one of them

I dig chicks, and chicks dig me. And chicks dig it that I dig them, and I dig chicks digging me. Dig?

If I take a coffee cup and I put Kool-Aid in it, it's not a coffee cup anymore. It's a Kool-Aid cup. And, I just BLEW YOUR FREAKIN' MIND!!!

Kanye West, Rage Against The Machine, and Tenacious D vow to boycott AZ over their new immigration law. 40 other states immediately consider adopting AZ's law.

Forget the massive oil spills, the turmoil in Korea, the war in the Middle East, the European financial crisis....Lindsay Lohan just got her hair done!

I believe in God the same way I believe the sun rises in the morning. Not because I can see it, but because it's how I can see anything

Star Trek fans are called Trekkers, so shouldn't Dr. Who fans be Whooters? And fans of the Amazing Race should be Amazing Racists?

If there were such things as Dog Philosophers, I bet the one question they would always ponder would be "Who's A Good Boy?"

If it seems too good to be true, it's probably me

Faith is not what you believe, or even what you say. It's what you do.

ok I love you bye bye

Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling book, Eat, Pray, Love, becomes a feature film starring Julia Roberts. Oprah set to star in the sequel, Eat, Eat, Eat

This chick deleted me as her friend and I didn't know why, so I begged her to take me back and she did, but then I deleted her. Was that wrong of me? Should I not have done that?

When the census taker asked my race, I said "Yard Gnome"

I don't mind so much pressing one for English; I'm saving my outrage for the day I have to press two for English

There is a FB group called "If The American Flag Offends You, I'll Help You Pack". But I think it's a trick. I bet none of those people will really help you pack.

So weird waking up in a house with no kids

All of you conspiracy nuts who are afriad to answer the census because the government is one huge conspiracy that tracks our every move and knows everything about us....Rest easy. If they were tracking our every move they wouldn't have to count us every ten years.

Let's all take a moment to remember the things that are important to us, and for the men and women who dedicated themselves to make them that way, and let us always be mindful of the things and the people. Never forget!

I think if they remake Charlie's Angels it should star Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox and Hayden Pantierre. It wouldn't matter what time or channel it was on, who all else was in it or even if there were any writers. It could be just the three of them walking around doing nothing.

Now that Law and Order is over, I say we elect Jack McCoy President

When I have to describe something that isn't wound up really tight but I want to be vague about it, I use the term loosely. Loosely. Loosely.

I'm against organized religion. That's why I'm a Methodist.

She said she would always be there for me, and I have to assume that that's true, even though she never told me exactly where she was

I think I'm going to write a book called "Have A Nice Day" and in it I will outline my own plan for real and lasting happiness is just to have a nice day, and tell other people to have a nice day as well, and I, of course, will be a millionaire for my revolutionary life philosophy that changed the course of history.

I was really hoping that the parallel universe on Lost would be the same parallel universe on Fringe.

Whenever anyone says "I love you all," I always feel left out. It doesn't matter who is saying it or why.

If I was in Narnia and all the trees came to life and started fighting the bad guys, I think I would want to be near the pine trees, because I bet pine trees fight like ninjas.

If you keep talking about the same stuff over and over, even if I agree with you I'm going to stop listening

I think I could totally outrun a zombie

Why are there no animal rights activists who stand up for bugs?

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. He didn't need shoes, so I took his.

If someone ever comes to me and says I have to go with them to save the world and I'm the only hope, they better bring me snacks, or I'm not going

Maybe in the future, scientists will discover that there are perpendicular universes

I wonder if I was kidnapped as a child and brought here from a parallel universe?

Why is the word dyslexic so hard to spell?

Those Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs are so good, I could eat like 15 of them all in one sitting, and feel the fat just melting off

I've read and studied the Book of Revelation, all of the relevant passages in Isaiah and Daniel, every reference in Thessalonians and all four Gospels, and I can't find a single Biblical account to suggest that the Devil does, indeed, go down to Georgia

Remember back in the 80s when some dude was poisoning Tylenol and everyone was afraid to use it, and the President of the company kept saying there was nothing wrong with Tylenol, it was the poison that was hurting people...? I think that's how God is kind of, with all these religions. He gave us truth and mercy and acceptance, and someone poisoned it and now everyone's afraid of Him.

I think its funny when someone has an opinion and its different than yours, and you say something that they have no argument for, they just call you ignorant and say that you don't have all the facts.

I went to Indy's graduation awards - He got Honor Roll for the year (all A's) and a special mention for being the only 5th grader in Barrow County to get a perfect score on his Math CRCT's. I take partial credit though, because I was always really good with, like, math 'n stuff like that.

Today is Indy's last day of Elementary school. I always get so emotional at these things

Pretty excited about volunteering at the Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry starting next month

Any time someone says "usage" they could just as easily say "use", so I don't know why "usage" is even a word.

Quinn asked me if I was popular when I was in school. I told him that I was so popular, all the other popular kids got jealous and wouldn't invite me to their parties or hang out with me.

Who was the first guy to eat chicken, and how did he describe the taste to people?

Obama hosted Mexican President Calderon for a state dinner and served Mexican food. Don't you think the President of Mexico gets tired of Mexican food?

While all these scientists and anthropologists are out in the woods looking for Bigfoot, I wonder if there are Bigfoot scientists out there looking for humans?

I'm a rocket man, burning all the shoes off every lawn!

The AZ law makes it a state crime to be in violation of a Federal statute (basically making the state responsible for enforcing a Federal Law). If Obama doesn't like it, why not just change the Federal law, and open up our borders to everyone? In effect, that's what he did when he stood up against the state of AZ with the Pres of Mexico. Am I right?

I think the "Everybody Draw Mohammed" day is mean-spirited and divisive. I think Americans can't afford to alienate people, and I think Christians should be building bridges to people of other faiths. This is like someone having a "Everyone Spit On The Cross" day. It's not about placating the extremists, it's about not... offending the vast majority of people who might otherwise be open to communication. My $.02

Arizona's law, which takes effect in July, will make it a crime under state law to be in the U.S. illegally - I'm confused, what does the word "illegal" mean?

If Descartes had written children's books, the Little Engine That Could would have gone up the hill saying "I think, therefore I can...I think, therefore I can....I think, therefore I can..."

Atlanta had really bad floods last year but we didn't have country stars writing songs about it

School officials say the Corner High School teacher apparently was teaching his students about parallel lines and angles and used the example of where to stand and aim to shoot the president.

They just cancelled Numb3rs. It was a show about a guy smart enough to predict criminal behavior based on probability clouds and progressive algorithms, but dumb enough to believe that 3 was a letter of the alphabet

I think Hollywood should go another 100 years without doing any more movies about Robin Hood, King Arthur, or the Three Musketeers. That includes, sequels, prequels, any kind of modern-day takes on the legends, stories about their children or their parents or what they were like when they were babies, or people going b...ack in time and having wacky misadventures with them.

I have this theory that Scooby Doo didn't really talk, and that all we saw onscreen was Shaggy hallucinating that his dog could talk. That's why no one else ever reacted to Scooby talking except Fred, Daphne and Velma (who were just humoring Shaggy the way normal people do to insane people).

No one ever listens to me

Don't question it! Just do it!

I found this by accident and I can't stop listening to it

Go to pick Quinn (13 y.o.) from my sister's house after work. On my way, he calls and says Are you almost here? I say, yes, go back to Patti's. He's not there when I get there. I call him 3 times and HE HANGS UP ON ME! Not the first time he's done it. So I text him and I say "Walk home" (it's like 3 miles). He texts ba...ck "ok" because he doesn't think I'll leave. Here I am at home....

If a man cheated, but he didn't lie about it and I felt that he could do a good job as President or whatever, I would still vote for him. I don't know why Americans hold politicians to such impossible standards. We've come to expect it from rock stars and actors, and even admire them for it, but politicians almost have... to lie to be accepted by the public.

Live each day like it was your last. Except not in the hospital all hooked up to wires and tubes and stuff.

I think the word "McGuyver" should be a verb. Like, "I didn't have a corkscrew, so I had to McGuyver the bottle open" or "The car wouldn't start, so I McGuyvered my way home"

Ask me how much sleep I got last night. Like, 4 hours. Something like that. Maybe less.

Show of hands everyone!! Julie Kallisti Smallwood has to do a project on a genetic disorder. I say she should do it on a mutant healing factor that delays the aging process and retractable claws. Who agrees with me?

I will always be here for you. And when I can't be here for you, I will always be there for you.

I don't serve a God of absolutes; I serve a God of possibilities

If King Kong had been taken to Los Angeles, I think they would have taught him sign language and finger-painting; instead, like most tourists who visit New York, he wound shot dead in the streets.

Everyone pay attention to me!!

Woody Allen is publicly defending Roman Polanski? Isn't that like asking Charles Manson for his thoughts on Ted Bundy?

I don't believe that there is a secret shadow government that secretly runs everything, assasinates people and causes natural disasters. It's not that I don't think our government could be that evil; I just don't think they could be that competent.

If a District Attorney hires a legal secretary, does a Mob Lawyer hire an Illegal Secretary?

It hurts when someone stabs you in the back, but especially when they do it right under your nose

I tried to watch the first Twilight movie and all I can say is, seriously?

If you're in an abusive relationship and you're staying together "for the kids", keep in mind that your kids are growing up in an abusive situation and they're learning that this is normal and acceptable. That's what you're doing for your kids.

I'm so cool that if you don't think I'm cool then that makes you even less cool than you would be otherwise

I had a fortune cookie and it had no fortune in it!! What does that mean?

When someone is all worried and ridden with anxiety, why do we try to comfort them by saying "Don't worry, anything can happen"....? Isn't that what they're worried about in the first place?

Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job, But I get no offers, Just a come-on from the horse on Seventh Avenue

Telling someone "Happy Monday" is like saying "Enjoy your surgery" or "Have fun cleaning"

Someone wished me a Happy Monday today. Those two words don't really go together.

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's being lied to. If there's two things I can't stand, it's being lied to and being punched really hard in the face. If there's three things I can't stand, it's being lied to, being punched really hard in the face, and being convicted of a crime I didn't commit and then having to ...wander from town to town in search of the one-armed man who can clear my name.

I've finally figured out what my problem is

In the psychiatric field, we don't like to use the word 'cureed.' Unless we're talking about ham. ~~Frasier Crane

I bought a bunch of the bottles of organic acai berry juice. First reaction was "I hope this stuff is good for you because it tastes like dirt" but I have to say, once you get used to it, its pretty good

I was watching Fringe and they found a joint in a dead girl's car and Olivia was like, "There's no lipstick on the joint" and Peter's all "She must have been with somebody" and I'm waiting for SOMEONE to say, "Maybe she just doesn't bogart the joint" but no one does.

I know who my real friends are. They're the ones that other people can see and hear, not just me.

I don't want my children to grow up in a world where there is no Law and Order. And yes, I mean the TV show.

I am going to start an organization for physicians who won't rent out the extra rooms in their houses, and call it Doctors Without Boarders

If I was in the Justice League, every time Aquaman came around I would go "Wait! I smell something fishy!" and then laugh for a really long time. And I bet Superman and Wonder Woman would laugh too.

I told Quinn I would take him wherever he wanted to go for dinner next week. He says he wants to go to Hooters. I guess I'm either doing something right or something horribly, horribly wrong.

Today two people I don't even know said I was AWESOME!!!

The European Union announced plans to establish a permanent base on the moon by 2030. They said the trick will be to time it when the moon is full, so that they don't fall off

President Obama on Monday met with a delegation from Abbas. He requested that they sanction tribal warlords in their area, and then asked if they could play "Dancing Queen"

My boss said they had a pool in their neighborhood, but they had to join the association to get in. I said that doesn't seem fair, since the Association hasn't had a hit since "Along Came Mary"

My friend told me that over the summer he was going on a mission trip to build a house for a Liberian family. I told him to be sure to include a lot of bookshelves.

When you visit Japan, I bet it's hard to tell the difference between when they say "Lock and Load" and "Rock and Roll"

What if everything we ever needed to know to get along and be happy, was so simple that we taught it to little children? And what if someone came along to remind us of it, and all we had to do was listen and believe? Would we say he had an agenda, or mock him for his accent or his clothes or his race, or argue with each other about what he meant? Or would we listen?

Quinn brought home a worksheet about the causes of WWI and it listed Germany and Italy as allies. I told him his paper was wrong, and that Italy stayed neutral at the start of the war, and then sided with the Entente once they saw how the war was going. Quinn took it back to school and the teacher said "Your dad is rig...ht but we have to go by what the paper says." WTH??? Why are we even teaching history??

My son asked me last night if I thought the moon landing was faked. I told him of course, everything that happened in the 60's was faked. I am expecting a note from his teacher this week.

When he was born I wanted to name him Indiana Jones, but I knew even under heavy sedation, Kathy wouldn't have agreed, so we settled on Indiana, thinking he didn't need a middle name: He would be "Indy" and when we were mad at him he'd be "Indiana". Except now, when he's in trouble, I still call him Indiana Jones

Trivia Time: In which movie did the character of James Bond appear as a clown? If you guessed "View To A Kill" you're only partially right. The correct answer is "All of the ones with Roger Moore"

I was a little proud of Quinn for cooking his own supper tonight while I was in bed sick(ish), but then I found out that all he made was like 2 pounds of steak, and he sat on the couch and ate it with his hands. I know I'm not the greatest parent, but even I taught him to eat over the sink.

I don't like movies where two people hate each other but they're really in love, and they both have overweight friends who know everything there is to know about dating and relationships, and then at the end of the movie one of them (usually the dude) has to run a long way to get to the other one to say he loves her.

Dear Miley Cyrus, Please don't make any more music videos. You're freaking me out. Love, Mark

We're going to see Iron Man and ironically, all my clothes are wrinkled

So just to be clear now, doesn't this mean that we could potentially have tornadoes of flaming crude oil descending on the Florida coastline?

I HATE HATE HATE it when people say "but yet"....you can say "yet", you can say "but" or you can say "and yet". Each of those is proper. Do not say "but yet". You sound like a moron.

I have a friend in show business who is always complaining that he's being unfairly compared to another performer and never recognized for his own body of work. And I'm like, dude, you're an Elvis impersonator...

If I made a movie about a guy who owned a factory who went to a distant land and brought back a bunch of the natives, dressed them in overalls and made them sing and dance while they worked in his factory, people would be outraged that I was exploiting a minority under-class. And yet, there's Willy Wonka...

You're doing it again

It would be cool if Iron Man had a sidekick, like Aluminum Boy

Do you think, when you become a Vampire, it changes your political views?

Dear Franklin Graham, I'm pretty sure God hears you praying no matter where you are. You don't have to stand out in front of the Pentagon. Love, Mark

Sometimes I think I might be bipolar, and that makes me really sad and I can barely function, but then I say to myself "You're not bipolar!" and I feel AWESOME!! and everything's great again

I thought of of another great country song today: "You Live Like You're Dying (And I'll Pull The Plug)"

When ants and bugs bite you, they're actually trying to eat you, so don't feel bad about killing them. It's us or them, really.

Today my goal is to make a new friend. I'm going to get a pumpkin to use for his head and set him in my yard.

When you talk about how much you hate it when people complain, I hate to tell you, you're complaining

Why don't animal lovers ever want to save the rats?

If I was going to market a new brand of mayonaisse, I would call it Cinco de Mayo

Whenever I see pictures of Kristen Stewart, she always looks like she's thinking of the 1,000 things she would rather be doing than having her picture taken. And that includes when she's onscreen.

EVery year at Mother's Day I reflect back on the day I left my ex-wife, and how by the time I was even out of the driveway, I already missed her. I had to back up and try again.

If I was going to start a group to save the manatees, I would call it "Oh, The Huge Manatees!"

What do you call a student who is studying for their graduate degree in Ancient Egyptian Plumbing? A Pharoah Faucet Major

Every year when spring is in the air and the flowers are in bloom, I miss my ex wife. But every year my aim gets a little better.

Follow your bliss. Never give up on your dreams. Until she gets a restraining order.

Dude

I typed my name in to see what Bible verse best describes my life, and it said John 11:35, "Jesus wept"

If Hollywood was really serious about the environment and conserving resources, they would start reporting on which celebrities aren't cheating on their spouse. That would save like a million trees.

I think the people that make Taco Bell and Doritos are secretly lobbying to legalize marijuana

If you're happy just to be alive, no offense, but you're setting the bar kind of low

I still remember the day I met the Invisible Man. He said "Maybe I haven't made myself clear"

Jesus loves you, and Buddha is strangely attracted to you

I think it would be hard to have a boring life if my name was Thor. Because even an accountant named Thor would be AWESOME!!

If I had Spider-Powers I wouldn't fight crime, I would wash windows, because I could do a whole building in like an hour. If I saw a crime in progress, I might help out, but mostly I would mind my own business.

Here's to you, Mr. "Doesn't Have A Social Life Outside of Facebook" Guy!!

People witnessed miracles and then asked for proof. People witnessed a Prince renounce all his posessions to attain enlightenment, and then asked for proof. A single man dedicated to a path of non-violence overthrew the world's largest empire, and another died to change centuries of oppression with his words. And still... we ask for proof. For those still asking, no proof is enough; for those of faith, none is needed.

I walk the streets alone. At least, the one street where I live, and the adjoining cul-de-sac. But don't mess with me.

I'm a loner, a rebel. I do things my own way and make my own rules. You can't stop me. Don't even try. I walk the streets alone.

Sometimes I think it must be really easy to be a cartoon doctor, because cartoons never really get hurt. EIther that, or cartoon doctors are so good that they can fix anything in a matter of seconds.

People lie to me, and I don't say anything because there's really no point arguing about it, but then they think they got away with something, or that they can just tell me whatever they want and I'll believe them, but I'm not gullible, I've just stopped caring one way or the other

I think the people who make Farmville have never seen a magnolia tree

Scientific studies have shown that everything you eat, drink, buy, wear on your body, have in your home or in your car, or give your kids to play with, will kill you.

My kids didn't believe in the Easter Bunny until I told them that for centuries, Native Americans did primitive cave drawings of a bunny-like creature delivering spheroid objects to cave children

When Yogi Bear was a baby, did his parents tell him Don't talk to rangers?

Let's see how the President is criticized for this by the mainstream media

I see a lot of people joining this group about saying "Yes, Sir" and "Yes, Ma'm" because they're from the South....and a bunch of the ones joining it, sorry, I know you and I've never heard you ever say it once.

Just finished watching the latest Witch Mountain movie from Disney, and it occurred to me that nothing is probably more terrifying to a teenage boy than a teenage girl who can read his mind

It's what's on the inside that counts, unless you're a dermatologist

Don't make fun of the 80's. That's like making fun of my hometown.

SOmetimes I feel unloved and I hate it, and sometimes I feel loved and that's a lot better of course, but I don't think I'm ever as content as when I'm happy just being myself despite what anyone else thinks or feels about it.

She asked me, "I would have loved to know what you were like as a little kid"....I said, "Pretty much the same as I am now, only smaller..."

The Lord says, "My thoughts are not like your thoughts. Your ways are not like my ways...Rain and snow fall from the sky and don't return without watering the ground. They cause the plants to sprout and grow...the same thing is true of the words I speak. They will not return to me empty. They make the things happen tha...t I want to happen, and they succeed in doing what I send them to do. (Isaiah 55:8,10-11)

She asked me if I thought she might be bipolar? I said no, bipolars have good days.

My super-insanely-optimistic friend was telling me that there are certain foods and drinks that have positive energy, that give you a better attitude and better perceptions and overall improve the way you see the world. I asked her, isn't that how women in bars always get better-looking the more you drink?

I bet Van Gogh really regretted cutting off that ear when his sight started to fail and he wound up needing glasses

My waitress at lunch today was so incredily cute that I wished I was 20 again....and then remembered that girls like her routinely shot me down when I was 20...

If I ever get to meet Bruce Springstein, I'm going to tell him that he's not the boss of me

Seriously how do you know that someone hasn't already used a time machine to change history and we're living in an alternate universe?

I asked the fortune teller if I would wear boxers or briefs when I got older. She said, "Depends"

Watching Friday Night Lights (season one) on DVD with Quinn. He's like "What position does that guy play?" and I'm like "Running back or wide receiver or something, I don't know" and he's like "Well why is he playing there if he's a wide receiver?" and I'm all, "OK, go to your room"

I used to wonder, why am I here on Earth? Now I wonder, why is the Earth here around me?

I live in Bethlehem. But I don't follow a star to get here. The star follows me. Because I'm FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

Don't be so eager to believe something just because it supports your position that you neglect what is true and just. Check your facts. Don't be afraid to question someone's sources, or even their motives. Think for yourself. Ask yourself what they're NOT telling you. Things are rarely black and white.

All women should have yearly mammograms. Until they get older, then they should have grandmammograms

It seems like "being open-minded" is a quality that everyone encourages in others, but very few cultivate in themselves. Everyone seems to want others to be open to their point of view, but to consider someone else's opinion is a threat to their "values". The truth is we all want the same things: We just need to learn... to listen to one another, or we'll never accomplish anything.

Dream on, dream for your dinner, dream for your life and dream to be thinner...

Admit it. I'm starting to get inside your head.

I wonder what would happen if I went down to the Atlanta Zoo with a protest sign that said "Spay or Neuter Your Pandas"

I like to keep abreast of the news

The spiritual person is concerned with his own conduct and the well-being of others; the religious person is concerned with his own well-being and the conduct of others

I'm sorry that your life is a train wreck, but you'll excuse me if I don't stand in the middle of the tracks

This Monday morning has already exceeded acceptable levels of SUCK!!

If you play Stairway To Heaven backwards, it says "I am Satan, Satan is good".....but if you play Highway To Hell backwards, it says "Go to church"

What's the present tense verb of the word "lightning"? Lightninging?

I saw the world rushing all around your face, never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

If eating utensils had to elect a leader, I think the spork would win. Because a good spork could appeal to both spoons and fork, while the knives and spatulas and straws would be left to fight amongst themselves. But if there was such a thing as a strawtula (straw+spatula), watch out!!

Now that I'm grown up, all I can think of when I watch WIlly WOnka is how unsanitary it is

I am very very close to unfriending someone

Took a bunch of stuff out of the refrigerator to use before it went bad, threw it in my giant crock pot with lots of spices, and it turned out AWESOME!!

People on the left always think that they're more compassionate than those on the right. In many cases this is, sadly, true. But I've found that with a lot of people on the right, it's not that they don't care about those less fortunate, it's just that they don't think it's the government's job to take care of them.

If Superman was a country singer, I bet he would write a song called "How I Miss Those Krypton Nights"

I was pulling into the subdivision a couple weeks ago, and there was a kid laying down face-up on a skateboard riding down the road like a luge, and I literally missed running over him by an inch. I told him he had to be more careful, but Quinn started calling him "Roadkill" and now all the other neighborhood kids do. "Roadkill" Johnson.

What if your name was Robert Edward Madison and you had all your clothes monogrammed and everyone just though you were a huge REM fan, but you really couldn't stand REM? That would suck.

Don't assume that your life has no purpose just because you don't know what that purpose is. You have everything you need. Do your best, seek God with all of your life and all of your heart, and be encouraged.

I bet Superman gets pissed on Earth Day, because you know, Krypton blew up

I am protesting Earth Day on behalf of all the other planets that don't have days

Always think positive. Unless you're having a drug test. Or a biopsy.

I'm not a fan of Barak Obama, but I don't think I like this thing going around the internet of people wishing he was dead. Geez, he's still President.

In Barrow County where I live, there are always traffic jams at Stop signs. Because there's a sign telling them all to stop, but there's no sign telling them when they can go again.

Why isn't there a country song called "Driving Under The Influence of Love"....?

Last night I mashed up a sweet potato, mixed in some coarse ground black pepper and some fresh parmesan (not the kind in the green can) and then made pancakes out of it. It was FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

People always think that things are more spiritual if they're written in a foreign language, especially if they use a different alphabet

Now Hiring: U.S. Census Bureau. No experience necessary. Must be able to count to two hundred million.

I'm sorry, but I refuse to apologize

If the Census knows how many people to send surveys to, why don't they already know how many people there are?

I have a friend who is hurting really bad right now and I am really hurting for her, and it's surprising me how bad I feel because I thought my soul had died years ago

Thanks for accepting my friend request Calloway Deegan - You've just boarded the express train to AWESOME!!! Next stop: Mark Town!!

I used to have this constant droning buzz in my ears, accompanied by debilitating pain and violent mood swings, but then I divorced her

Good day, sir! I said Good Day!

If Carrie Underwood married Merle Haggard, everyone would call her Carrie Okie

If Christopher is now Topher, and Alexander is now Xander, is it ok to call someone named Leonard, Nard?

Part of my job is bugging the crap out of people. I should get a raise.

I remember the first family vacation I took with my ex-wife. She said we were going waterboarding at the beach. I thought it was her cute way of twisting words around, but it turns out, she's just evil.

Thanks for accepting my friend request Catherine Neal - You just entered AWESOME TOWN!! Population: Mark!!!

I'm in denial. No, wait, I mean NOT denial.

Why do Christians have a fish as their symbol, when Jesus was a carpenter and not a fisherman? Why isn't the symbol a table saw and a pair of safety goggles?

If Jordin Sparks married Jeff Gordon and took a job heading the security team at a Borden Milk Plant, she would be Borden's Warden Jordin Gordon

YOu know that Sonny the Coco Puffs Bird? He's livin' La Vida Coca

If the moon really was made of green cheese, the French would have landed there decades ago

I will never understand why Skynet, having failed to kill John Connor's mother in 1984, didn't then just try to kill his grandmother in 1964, instead of coming after him in 1994?

I give and I give and I give. I'm a giver.

High School Drama Teacher has got to be one of the most redundant jobs in the world. High school kids don't need to be taught drama.

I would like to get a helper monkey that would just sit on my shoulder and then when someone says something stupid he could just run over and slap them. Because I can't do it, and no one would sue a monkey

The main difference between Star Wars and Star Trek is that Star Wars teaches you to trust your feelings but never give in to your anger, which is a contradictory message because anger is a feeling. Star Trek, on the other hand, teaches us to be logical and that is the main reason it is AWESOME!!! Star Trek wins.

The darkest evil is the one that says "There is no evil"

So if you're against gay marriage, you make gay people stay married, because granting them a divorce would mean that you're accepting the fact that they were ever married, which you don't agree with, so that means you're actually for gay marriage, as long as they don't want to be married anymore

I had this weird dream that I was riding a unicycle through traffic to get to an amusement park

Love is blind, and deaf and bipolar and dissociative and retarded

When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you watch your friends. You watch your friends, you know, you watch your friends.

Jesus appeared to a bunch of young actors who were auditioning for "Godspell" and He said "Before this night is over, one of you will portray me"

Whenever a woman tells me something that she doesn't like about herself, or reveals her insecurities by saying something like "My nose is too big" or "I have no talent" or something like that, I don't contradict her, instead I try to offset her negativity with positive input like "But you have such a great personality"... or "True, but cats seem to like you"

I'm looking forward to the day when we as a nation will be able to put aside all our petty differences and agree that I am AWESOME!!!

If I was going to write a self-help book for marine biologists, I would call it "The Porpoise Driven Life"

I know my ex-wife is planning something. Last night, the sky turned the color of blood and dogs were running around in circles in he yard.

How could someone not like me? What's not to like?

Goober says hey

On Veggie Tales, do thay have hymns singing praise to our raisin lord?

The reason why it hurts so much to grieve a loss is because of our incredible capacity to love in the first place. Be encouraged. The alternative is to be dead inside, and not love anyone.

I don't think there's any animal that could take over control of the world away from humans. But if they teamed up, gorillas, bears, dogs, dolphins and squirrels might stand a pretty good chance. It's thoughts like that that keep me up at night.

If you ever start to feel mediocre and that maybe you haven't accomplished anything with your life, be encouraged. You're making someone else look AWESOME by comparison.

Do you think there ever really was a guy named Willy Nilly, and if he just did things in a kind of haphazard, random way?

If I belonged to a primitive tribe that practiced cannibalism, and someone brought me to America and civilized me, I would still put on my resume that I was a "people person"

My glass is half full....of POISON!!!

Honestly, has anyone ever read or seen any version of "The Diary of Anne Frank" and not thought it would have ended better if they'd all had machine guns up in that attic?

I'm going to the Barrow County Board of Education tonight because Indy is being awarded the Super Awesome Brainiac Award or something like that. Not to throw water on it, but I feel like winning this award in Barrow County is kind of like when Charlton Heston first landed on the Planet of The Apes, looked at all the ca...vemen and said "If this is the best this planet has to offer, we'll be running the place in a week."

If there was such a thing as redneck scientists, I think they would devote all their time and resources into making duct tape more effective, developing the perfect beer, and ways to make pro wrestling more realistic

What's that movie about the dude who goes out with women and then as soon as they dump him they marry the next dude they go out with? I am officially that dude.

I heard the birds singing outside my window and they sound so happy and carefree, but then I wondered what it would sound like if they were all depressed and hated their lives? Pretty much the same, I bet.

You know how people always say "God never gives us more than we can handle"...? I'd like to see that on "Mythbusters"

The pollen count is so high, the APD just busted a drug dealer that was turning meth back into Sudafed

If you feel worthless, if you feel like God has abandoned you or is angry at you, if you feel like no one cares, if these are the things that you tell yourself....then it won't matter if they're true are not; the effect will be the same. You don't have to be blindly optimistic to endure the dark times, just remember th...at the worst day you ever had was still just one day. Be encouraged. Endure, and seek God.

I'm Spider-Man

If you hate something, hit it with a shovel. If it comes back to you, run like hell.

Karma is not an economy whereby our actions are rewarded or punished, nor is it a cosmic meritocracy. It's the totality of being carried forward through this life into the next, akin to reaping what you sow. Karma is the interweaving of the spiritual, the physical and the mental. Compassion and kindness are their own rewards: Wishing payback on others for their deeds is an indication of your own karma, not theirs.

Some of you people give WAY too much personal information in your Facebook statuses

The Revolution of the Gospel was not that a man who performed miracles, but that all of us share in God's unmerited favor. Not burnt offerings in temples or priests hidden by robes, but Don't judge one another, love your enemies, turn the other cheek. It's very simple, and can't be taken away by detractors who dissect ...historical documents pointing out inaccuracies. Be encouraged. Seek God, and live your faith.

The sun shines, the rain falls, earth and water give to all their light and life without judgement or reservation. So it is with God's unmerited Grace, which is given undeserved and unearned to all. We just have to be brave enough to accept it, without apology. This is the beginning of faith.

Sometimes I want to go where everybody knows my name

I'm starting a support group for people whose lives haven't turned out the way they wanted them to. It's called "Everyone". We're meeting every night at the bar.

Some chick told me that she loved me today. I just wish I knew which one of her personalities it was...

Whenever someone says that someone else is "the best thing that ever happened to me" I always want to say "But....people aren't THINGS that HAPPEN..."

I wonder what Cologne, Germany smells like?

If we were all born old and then aged backwards until we were babies, I would never go near a delivery room

I'll throw you a line or swim out to help you, but I won't drown with you

I'm still waiting on the Veggie Tales to have an Easter special called "The Passion Of The Fruit"

Spirituality means everyone standing under the same Light; religion means everyone standing in the same line

When I talk to people who are having trouble with their marriage and they tell me they've lost that old magic feeling, I tell them that I believe it's possible to learn to love and respect anyone. It's called Stockholm Syndrome.

Today's forecast calls for mostly sunny with a chance of AWESOME!!!

The only person who doubts you, the only person keeping you from being happy, the only person holding anything against you or not forgiving you, the only person whose opinion even matters....is usually just you...

I thought I could get rich by water-skiing over a shark pen, but it turns out its illegal to head up a Fonzie Scheme.

I think the ultimate expression of existentialism that American culture has produced is Roadrunner cartoons

In the South, words like "now" and "camp" have two syllables, "nay-ow" and "cay-ump"...but we make up for it because words like "sheriff" and "Europe" only have one, "sherf" and "Yurp"

I had a dream last night that everything in my life was exactly the same as it is in real life

Everyone should have a me in their lives

And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing. But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God. (Acts 5: 38-39)

When I interview, I alwys focus on my atttention to detale. Also, I let them know that my vocabulary is really really really, like, big.

Happy Sunday to all my atheist friends

I asked God for a sign. I didn't expect a Stop sign.

People can dispute the accuracy of the Gospel accounts and say that Christianity is based on a Lie, but the fact is that Something happened in Jerusalem 2000 years ago that not only changed the course of human history, but has been changing hearts and lives every day since. For myself, I choose to believe, and I don't need any more evidence than my own life.

When I was in school, sometimes, just to mess with the teachers, I would bring a number THREE pencil. Because I live on the edge, and make my own rules. Because I'm awesome like that.

Elle saw "The Last Song" and said that she loved it except for the parts with Miley Cyrus....and I loved the movie "Castaway" except for that one part where Tom Hanks was stuck on the island...

Crawdads are redneck sushi

When Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead, I wonder did Lazarus need a cup of coffee or something?

If a duck and a beaver fell in love, they would have a platypus

wonders if Superman's x-ray vision causes cancer, because it seems like he should warn people closest to him that they should wear lead aprons

When you rent a time machine, a good thing to do is, just before you return it, go back in time to just when you rented it and get all your money back.

When I was little and someone made a Your Mama joke, I would cry and say that my mom was really sick and not expected to make it through the night, and then the jokester person felt really bad. But I won, and that's all that matters.

If someone had told me 25 years ago that we would need special computer software to protect us against Spam, I would think that after a nuclear war, cans of processed meat were trying to take over the world

The town where I live is so small that when I leave for work in the morning, the mayor comes out and changes the population sign on the highway

Jennifer just let me know that its Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. That is just nuts.

I think guys reach a certain age where pursuing relationships is like a dog chasing a car: You can put all your effort into it, but wouldn't know what to do with one if you got it

She kept telling me how wise her Yogi was, but personally I always found Boo Boo more insightful

I just read that in the metro Atlanta area, one in three children are latino and speak no English. I'm glad I only have two kids, or I would have to learn Spanish.

When she left me, I remember clearly all the stages of grief, the denial, the bargaining, the anger and depression. It was so grueling and emotionally draining. The longest 45 seconds of my life.

On Easter morning, I'll be hanging with my peeps

I know the perfect scam to get a million doillars. Just go up to every billionaire you know and say "Hey, where's that million dollars you owe me?" I know it's a long shot, but remember, it only has to work once.

This easter I am going to make an omelette with Cadbury Eggs

When civilization collapses and there's anarchy in the streets, no electricity and no communications, I think the Amish are going to take over. Because they already know how to live without that stuff. And I think that's been their plan all along.

I bet Superman's dog catches cars and eats them

I've decided that those Alien things with two mouths in the Sigourney Weaver movies wouldn't bob for apples. They would bob for chicken in a deep fryer.

Don't ever feel like you aren't doing enough, or that you don't make a difference. It's not required that you change the world all by yourself. If you act with kindness and compassion, and seek truth in your own life, most days, that's enough. Be encouraged.

She asked me why couldn't things always be as magical as they were the first night we met? I told her, because then we'd have to stay drunk all the time...

When Vanna White goes to the doctor, does he ask her about her vowel movements?

When will we as a nation learn to put aside all of our petty political and religious differences, and just make fun of ugly people?

Sometimes I like to order calamari in a restaurant just because its the only thing I can order off a normal menu that would eat me first if I met it in the wild

So Indiana (my son not the state) was in Barrow All-County Honors Chorus tonight. They did four songs. I get so emotional at these things.

I hate it when I'm tired and can't sleep and someone says "You must be too tired to sleep" and I always think, Yeah, that MUST be it....because using that logic I'll never sleep again...

You know those alien things with two mouths that fought Sigourney Weaver? I bet they're really good at bobbing for apples.

I'm watching a funny show and I'm laughing and feeling good and then afterwards it says "Dedicated To The Loving Memory" of someone I never heard of, and that makes me pause for a second and consider this person and all their hopes and dreams, and for one shining moment the universe is lessened by their absence. And th...en I start laughing again, because I think they would have wanted it that way.

My friend Danny told me that his dad had three hip replacement surgeries, and the doctors still weren't sure what was wrong. I told him part of the problem might be, he's not supposed to have three hips.

I bet that kid in China with all the extra fingers and toes would have been really good at math

There's no "I" in TEAM, but if you move the letters around there is a ME in there

When someone asks me a question that there is no simple answer to, I like to reflect back to them by encouraging them to look within their own hearts for the solutions, and most people find this very helpful. Except in math class.

If NFL Hall-of-Famer Johnny Unitas was a deep sea diver with a facial tic, then he would be called Diver's Tic Unitas

When God closes a door, He opens a window. When God closes a window, you have to jimmy the lock.

Why isn't a male diva called a divo?

It occurred to me this morning that the spiritual person is concerned with his own conduct and the well-being of others; the religious person is too often concerned with his own well-being and the conduct of others.

I believe in God the way I believe that the sun rises. Not because I can see it, but because it's how I can see anything.

When God closes a door, he opens a window. That's what my ex said anyway, when I caught her crawling in my window

Would an Italian psychic use a Luigi Board?

When I have an existential crisis, I like to take a few minutes and just be

If Herbie the Love Bug and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang got married, I bet they would make a TON of noise in the garage at night.

Do incredibly hot chicks ever get tired of dudes telling them how hot they are? It seems like they would.

You know those daily affirmation calanders where you tear off the page every day and get a new inspirational message? I bet if they had those for dogs, every day the message would be "Bacon"

If dogs had newspapers, I bet every day the headline would read "Who's a Good Boy?" and every day they'd pick up the paper, read the headline, and then jump up and down and start wagging their tails

With very little training, education, or even effort, you can be just like me

Do dogs only have to wait eight and a half minutes to go swimming after they eat?

The worst part about dating a psychic is getting your face slapped for stuff you haven't done yet

I love it when people ask me a question and then when I answer them, they argue with me

Under the new healthcare bill, an uninsured 18-year old is an interstate threat on the level of a factory dumping Mercury into a river, and anyone who isn't alarmed by that level of intrusion into our personal lives has never read the Constitution.

Why is it that whenever a group of people says that they want to do their own thing, they all do the same thing?

If you're not part of the solution, you're probably not the soluble component in a homogenous combination of two or more chemical compound

I want to see a remake of the movie "Red Dawn" starring the kids from High School Musical, and instead of killing the Russians they challenge them to a dance-off to see who gets to keep North America

If you're going to believe that anything is possible, you have to start by first acknowledging that most things are very unlikely

You are uniquely qualified to recognize God in your life. Others might encourage or discourage you, but you are the only one who can recognize His presence, or not. Your opinion is the only one that counts. God speaks to us in stillness and in quiet places. Learn to listen, learn to trust, and be encouraged.

had a dream last night that I was hanging out with all my friends from Canada. Weird.

My favorite cause is CAUSE I'M FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!

I think the ultimate Iron Man villian would be a guy made out of water who carried a huge magnet and an anvil

Sometimes I think my kids got a raw deal by just getting me as a parent and missing all the maternal stuff, but Quinn asked me yesterday "Who is hotter, Hayden Pantierre or Megan Fox?" and I thought, well, that's something he would never have asked his mom...

If the pen is mightier than the sword, but actions speak louder than words, are actions mightier than the pen?

Sometimes I wish there was another word I could call myself other than "Christian"...and I hate that I live in a world where words like "Christian" and "militia" are even spoken together like that...

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet. Because I just stole his shoes, because he didn't need them.

They keep sending me ads for "Mature Singles"....are they talking about me?

Live without regrets or expectations, leave the past to the past and let the future unfold as it will.

My AWESOME!! works on so many different levels

My teenage son can beat 1000 levels of a video game in one weekend, but can't master the skill set required to load a dishwasher

My friend from Cuba was doing laundry and setting the table for dinner, and she told me how much she enjoyed "being domestic". I said, "I thought you were imported."

I had a great Palm Sunday but I'm wondering why there aren't Holidays for the other parts of the hand

Solomon in his wisdom offered to cut a child in two, knowing that no caring parent would consent. But I've come to believe that every divorce cuts a child in two, their time and their loyalties and even their identity. I know divorce is sometimes the lesser of two evils, but I wish more people would make it easier on the kids than on themselves.

I hate it when my kids are hurting and I can't do anything about it

If there was an Incan explorer who sailed to Europe to conquer Spain, then he would be the Bizarro Pizarro

It's a fine line between Saturday Night and Sunday morning ~Jimmy Buffett

Thanks for accepting my friend request Sara Jones, You've just won the Olympic Gold Medal for AWESOME!!!

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

If they make a car that drives itself, it would be automatic; so if they made a car that a dog could drive, would that be dogmatic?

I don't understand it when people say they've been through hell and back, because why would you go back?

A true pessimist will say that the glass is half empty when it's full all the way

When people say they respect your religious beliefs, they usually mean it in the same way that they respect your right to own a handgun, trusting that you know how it works and won't attack you with it

Thanks for accepting my friend request Trent Sheley, you've just won a lifetime supply of AWESOME!!!

Men like Einstein and Fermi encountered God in their physics and equations; C.S. Lewis, in logic and reason; Mozart and Handel, in music; Da Vinci, in his art. Forget theology and sermons and lessons, open your heart and seek God, and He will reveal Himself. Seek truth and the truth will be made known. I know, not beca...use its written in a book, but because I did, and people do every day.

If I was homeschooling my kids, I would spend at least a year teaching them nothing but Led Zeppelin. And if I ever pull my kids out of public school, it will be because they don't teach enough about Led Zeppelin.

If you don't have something nice to say, shut the hell up, jerk!

I think my teenage son is preparing for a career as a social activist or protestor because, based on the amount of Axe Body Spray he uses, I'm pretty sure he's immune to tear gas at this point

Eternity is not a place you go after you die to be punished or rewarded; Eternity is not mystical or faraway, neither is it hypothetical or hard to understand; Eternity is today, your attitude, the things that are important to you and how you treat people. You choose your own Eternity, not at the moment of death or at ...some faraway throne of judgement, but right now, and everyday. Choose wisely.

I just saw on the news that there's a test to determine whether you have a Sex Addiction, and I wonder if all it does is test for a Y-chromosome.

You know how on the news they're always trying to scare you with swine flu, or earthquakes, or whatever consumer product they think will kill you next? SOmetimes I think newspeople are like Scooby Doo, who every week thinks that there's really a ghost after him.

Why don't more Catholics name their kids NEAL? And why don't more Baptists name their kids DUNCAN?

I'm not saying that the Democrats are super-villians trying to take over the world, but if they WERE, about now is the time that the Super Friends would swoop in

I'm a hunka hunka burnin' AWESOME!!!

So the USA Today reports that more and more people are approving of this health care bill? Isn't that like a women really liking the dress she just bought, until she gets the credit card bill?

Under the new Federal Healthcare Bill, if someone flips you off on the highway you have to flip them off back

If Jordin Sparks married Jeff Gordon and took a job heading the security team at a Borden Milk Plant, she would be Borden's Warden Jordin Gordon

In the New American Bible, the Anti-Christ is referred to as "Bizarro Jesus"

If Summer Glau married Johnny Winter and then helped Autumn De Wilde escape from prison, the headline would say "Summer Winter Springs Autumn"

When has progress ever been made anywhere in history without tons of people getting pissed off?

In that nursery rhyme Pop Goes The Weasel, did the weasel explode?

While I like to be supportive of my friends, I don't see the use of feeding into someone's delusion that they're wearing an invisible parachute when they're about to jump out of an actual airplane.

What if it was true that there was a purpose for everything, and a plan for your life including all the screw-ups and missed opportunities and mistakes that you've ever made, and what if you were exactly at the time and place in history and in the universe that God needed you to be, and what if you had everything you n...eeded to fulfill your purpose, right now at this moment precisely where you are?

Giving is easy because we give from our strength and our abundance; it takes a certain courage to accept help. Take what is offered with grace and gratitude, allow others to be a blessing and to serve God's purpose, and leave no room in your heart for shame or regret or stubborn pride.

If I could sit down with the producers of the show Lost and ask them just one question, it would be "Huh?"

True fact: Viagra was invented by Dr. Hardin Cox

Thank you for accepting my friend request Monica Booker, you are now on the express train to AWESOME!!!

The title of last night's Law & Order episode, "Four Cops Shot"...I guess if a show's been on for 20+ years, they run out of episode titles

Everyone has good and bad instincts; we all know what's right and are tempted, at times, to do wrong anyway. We define ourselves not by the instincts that we have, but by which ones we choose to follow. Character is determined not by what we accomplish, but by what we attempt, and how often; not by the obstacles we enc...ounter, but in how we faced them. Persevere. Don't surrender.

What if there was a hippy who was a neat freak?

If Ally Sheedy married Muhammad Ali, and then started a free tax service for people who couldn't afford it, she could call it Ally Ali's Income Free

Congratulations, America! Congress is giving us all a free colonoscopy!

I'm not putting up with any socialized medicine! If this passes, I'm moving to Canada!

I just posted something on your wall to see if you got the text I sent earlier asking you to check your voicemail following up to the email I sent you. Did you get it?

I fear for my children, but not for my children's children, because I don't believe that children should be having children

I think this healthcare bill would have gone over better if they'd taken it one step at a time, like say, socialized podiatry. And then when people complain, they say, look, the government already takes care of your feet, right? And then socialized dentistry, socialized pediatrics, etc. Of course there would be sociali...zed proctology, because we're all gonna get it in the end.

I asked the Magic 8 Ball if I would have a good day and it cracked open and leaked blue stuff all over me. Sarcasm doesn't suit you, Magic 8 Ball.

If you can run fast enough you won't need to hide

Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver.

Most of the people I know who are celebrating the passage of the healthcare bill are just the type to get a pre-approved credit card in the mail and think they won the lottery

But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. (Deuteronomy 4:29)

I don't like the idea of socialized medicine because I know it will bankrupt us in very short order and it expands government involvement in our lives, but I've been laid off 4 times in five years and if I ever get sick it would ruin me financially. The healthcare bill sucks and I'm against it but I haven't heard any o...ther plans to even address the problem. Why is that?

If General Schwarzkopf retired and took a job working the door at a Salt Lake City hotel, he would be Stormin' Norman the Mormon Doorman

OK so the cool thing now is, for people named "Alexander" to be called "Xander" and people named "Christopher" to be called "Topher", so I say if someone is named "Joshua" we just call him "Ua"

Was there ever really a person named Shenanigans? Because I bet he liked to party.

Don't you wish your boyfriend was AWESOME!! like me?

If by giving up a lesser happiness one may behold a greater one, let the wise man give up the lesser happiness in consideration of the greater happiness. The Dhammapada

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, and I can introduce that in a legal case against you to establish a pattern of criminal behavior

If I ever had a pet Manatee that was giant-sized, I would name him "O" so that everywhere we went, people would say "O, the Huge Manatee!"

Remember that guy you knew in school who was too cool for you? I'm still too cool for you.

The bus driver tells me I'm special

Believing without acting on your faith is like going to medical school and then not practicing medicine

Rolled out of bed this morning and ran out the door at 6:00 am to unload and distribute boxes at the church, wearing the same clothes I slept in, unshaved, coffee breath...no big deal, right? And then wound up standing next to this knock-out (and single) woman from Angelfood Ministries all morning. Now I'm home and cle...aned up and banging my head into the table muttering Stupid, stupid, stupid....

You know who I feel sorry for? All the millions of people who lived their whole lives and died without ever having had a chance to know me.

If someone is only attracted to homeless people, would that make them a hobosexual?

I tried to reason with the chickens, but they balked

Why don't people eat swans?

Faith is not being like a gerbil on a wheel, running constantly and getting nowhere by your own effort; rather, faith is a path we choose to an Unknown destination, alternately both peaceful and strenuous, by which we never go unaided. Be encouraged. Rest, but don't turn back.

It occurred to me today that we're closer to the future envisioned by "The Terminator" than the one in "Back To The Future"

My 13 yr old son has a girlfriend. I told him not to be too upset if she's totally into him one day and then acts like he doesn't exist the next, and if she pouts and he asks her what's wrong and she says "Nothing," then just walk away until she's done pouting. I may have just saved him 40 years of suffering.

If I was an adman, I would make a commercial that said "Drink Beer - Because, technically, drinking is the first step"

Guilt and regret look back at a past that can't be changed; fear and anxiety look forward to a future that doesn't exist. Do what you can today, and let that be enough.

If lightning strikes the symphony, you don't want to be anywhere near the conductor

She told me she wasn't involved with anyone, but of course she wasn't counting self-involved

This week, someone actually told me that she was "deeper than most people". I said "Well, it is getting pretty deep in here."

Let's all take a lesson from the spork, a utensil that tries to be all things to everyone and winds up being not much good for anything

Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line

I'm going to an 11-Step Support Group for people dealing with denial. We skip that first step.

When I win a hundred million dollars in the lottery I'm going to pick out someone I don't like, go buy the houses on either side of where they live, and rent both houses out for free to crazy people

I've totally run out of things to say. Ha Ha just kidding.

Hello, hi, how are you?

When I read the Bible, it seems like the only ones Jesus ever had any problems with were the religious people who thought they knew God and were telling everyone else what to believe and how to live

I've never felt so much love without having to first type in my credit card number

Thank you for accepting my friend requests, Nick Sasso and Roshini Shiltsova, that light at the end of the tunnel? That's my AWESOME!! Prepare to be blown away!!

In 1861, as South Carolina's State Legislature met to draft legislation to secede from the Union, a Southern journalist in Charleston wrote "South Carolina is too small to be a proper Republic, and too large to be a proper insane asylum"

Why do pirates always have hook-hands and wooden legs and eye patches? You never see cowboys riding around with body parts missing, or knights or ninjas or explorers or Vikings. But pirates are always missing body parts, what's that about? Yo-ho a pirate's life for me? I don't think so.

I was told by a FB friend this week "If you posted a status that said 'The Sky is blue', you'd have 15 comments and 20 people would click 'Like'..." I don't believe that that is actually true although, the sky really is blue.

If I worked on a starshp, I wouldn't like being refered to as "Number One" although I suppose its better than being "Number Two"

It's hard sometimes to know who your real friends are, but you just have to ask yourself a few basic questions. Such as - Can other people see and hear them? Are they normal size, and not really tiny living inside your walls? Do they email you and call you on the phone, and not send secret messages to your brain? If you answered yes, then that's a true friend. Otherwise, sorry, you probably should adjust your meds.

Embrace your inner AWESOME!!!

Sometimes we don't get to choose between good and bad; our only options are bad and worse. There will always be people who second-guess you and judge you. Ignore them. Do your best. Trust yourself. Don't look back, and don't be discouraged.

You know you've been a single parent too long when you yell at your kids for not eating over the sink

My boss says I can't go sleeveless on casual Fridays, but I am taking a stand for my Constitutional Right to Bare Arms

Thank you for accepting my friend request Karin Menke Dronenburg, and welcome to the Wonderful World of AWESOME!!!

When someone who is not awesome tries to trick me into doing something and I catch them at it because I am AWESOME!!! then I just laugh at them partly for thinking they were awesome like me, but mostly because they aren't AWESOME!!!

When an Irish dude talks about the road rising up to meet you....why do I always imagine him stumbling out of a bar and falling on his face?

There once was a man who built bridges for a living, and he had devoted years of his life to one particular bridge that collapsed before it was even completed, and he never got over it.

Every time someone claims to see the face of Jesus in a waterstain or a piece of toast or whatever, I wonder if it's not really Eric Clapton's face

This morning I woke up and a warm breeze was wafting through the window, and the joyful sounds of bird song filled the air, and as I lay there smiling and peaceful I thought how wonderful and magical it would be if every molecule in the universe bent to my will and all of time and space was mine to command.

Cheez Its are just all right with me, Cheez Its are just all right oh yeah

On Saint Patrick's Day, remember: Wherever you find four Irishmen, you'll find a fifth

It turns out a conservative Democrat is more liberal than a liberal Republican

I'm not for gay rights or women's rights; I'm for human rights. And I'm not for social justice or racial equality or religious tolerance; I'm for justice and equality and tolerance. When one person is treated unjustly, then we all have to live in a world that allows injustice; when one person acts with compassion, then... suffering is diminished. If you're looking for purpose and meaning, just look around you.

You know the old man who bumped his head and didn't get up in the morning? And Jack fell down and broke his crown? And Humpty Dumpty? How many children's rhymes begin with massive head trauma?

Someone told me that the Bible was just myths and fables, and I reminded her that the reason we read myths and fables is because there is truth in them, and we learn from them

I think "Lesbians At The Prom" would be a good name for a all-girl punk group

It seems like almost all of my adult life has been spent looking for work, and technology jobs are more scarce now than they were during the Great Depression

Jesus loves you, and Buddha finds you strangely attractive

Learn to pick your battles, and if some maniac is charging at you with a knife, pick that one

Someone tried to convert me today

I have a friend who is in her 60s and she plays Farmville and every time her status says she found a chicken, I click on it and it says "All of her eggs have been claimed" and I keep thinking, Seriously?

Enemies are just friends who want to kill you

Guess what everyone??? The sky is blue!!!

I was crazy about my kindergarten teacher, Miss Wells, but it didn't work out. She said she didn't think of me "in that way". But even now when I hear that song "B-I-N-G-O" I get weepy. That was kind of "our song."

I know its difficult but try not to love me too much

Someone called me "wise" the other day and it wasn't even followed by the word "ass"

Leviticus 11:10 says that eating shrimp is an abomination, but I really like shrimp

If I owned a landscaping company, I would call it Lawn Order. And I would drive around in a Jeep Cherokee and call it my Lawn Order: SUV. And every year I would sponsor a camping trip for paroled juvenile offenders and call it Lawn Order: Criminals In Tents

just had to explain to my 13 year old son that the song by Stevie Wonder is called "Superstition" and not "Science Fiction"

A recent study has shown that collie owners are statistically more prone to falling down wells

Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?" Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine." Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to... what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! (Acts 2: 12-15)

My spirit guide is a marshmallow peep

Tonight on 20/20 the preview line says "A 7 Yr Old girl's hallucinations compel her to act dangerously"...I wonder if her last name is Schieber, Stapleton, Boland or Noonan?

I am taking applications for some new friends. Apply in person. Dress appropriately. Bring references from three current or previous friends. Must have your own transportation.

Why you no talky talky?

Even though I know Law & Order has been on for 150 years already, I think the current cast of the show is the best they've ever had.

If Captain Hook ever gets serious about getting rid of the Lost Boys and Tinkerbell, he should invest in some giant bug zappers

Isn't it odd that we are always encouraging children to use their imaginations, and to open their minds to all kinds of possibilities, and then we get annoyed when they use this ability to be afraid of moinsters in their closets?

Dear Guy WIth The Permed Mullet That I Saw At Wal Mart Yesterday, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but the rumours about Wham breaking up are true

The best thing about living in America is, unlike other countries in the world, kids can't bring water pistols to school

My friend Larry told me that one thing he learned in the army is, never bring a knife to a gun fight. I told him, I've never been in the army, but why would you even go to a gun fight?

If I ever win the lottery, I promise you right now I will never forget any of you poor, working class people who used to be my friends

If they ever do a remake of Children of the Corn, I hope Orville Redenbacher is in it, becuase he scares the crap out of me.

Drugs are not the answer. They only make you forget what questions you were asking, and then laugh inappropriately

I know that there is electricity because I have a lightbulb that's made to light by it; I know that there are radio waves because I have a radio that's made to receive them; I know that there is a God because I have a spirit that's made to recognize and seek Him

Thank you for adding me as a friend Robert E Luecke, you've just bought a one-way ticket on the Express Train to AWESOME!!!

Got some good news today! Everyone guess what it was?

Thank you for accepting my friend request Naomi Nossaman Friedrich - You've just won a lifetime supply of AWESOME!!!

Will you marry me?

The first step is admitting that you're AWESOME!!!

Don't be stupid

I know for a fact that you can't make all your dreams come true

Telling a drug addict to "Just Say No" is like telling a schizophrenic to "Just Chill Out"

Who cleans up after all the giant animals on Sesame Street? And why doesn't anyone walk around going "What is that smell?"

I was against gay marriage until someone explained that it wasn't going to be mandatory

Today my son Indiana told his teacher that he was named after the famous explorer Indiana Jones

You can't really give your life to God and then complain about what He does with it

If there were aliens who came to earth to enrich our lives with technology and treasures beyond our imagining, but they had octopus arms growing out of their faces and smelled like poop and were all drippy and squishy like raw liver, and all they asked in return was that I, personally, go live on their home planet, I wouldn't go. Because, gross.

First of all, I think serial killers should be put to death. But if there was a really neat serial killer who had to everything put in its proper place, I think before they are executed they should be made to share a cell with a really sloppy serial killer who leave his stuff all over the place

You know how in Narnia, all the animals and even the trees and the rivers talk and have personalities? Wouldn't that kind of make it awkward at dinner time, because don't most of those things eat each other?

If anyone ever asks me if I'm a spy, I think I'll just look at my feet and say "I'm not allowed to say," and then they'll think I'm really a spy even though I didn't lie about it

Dear Paul McCartney, Do I have to actually LOOK at all the lonely people?

If this movie was about an Amazon Princess and a super-powered alien, it could be called "She's Out Of My Justice League"

The last time I went to a dance, everyone backed up and formed a circle around to watch me. I thought I was doing good, until someone stepped forward to make sure I didn't swallow my tongue.

Encouragement, help, compassion and kindness - These things are like light. Even a little bit is good. If you value what you contribute, you'll always want to give more, and the light grows.

I believe that there is a purpose and a plan, and I believe that, despite what you might think at times, you have everything you need to fulfill your purpose. Don't be discouraged.

You know how a hardcore alcoholic will get so desperate to get drunk that he'll drink mouthwash or vanilla extract or hand sanitizer just to get a buzz? That's kind of how I am, when I can't watch Law & Order I will turn on CSI

accidentally locked myself out of my Happy Place

I think I would be the worst cop ever, because every story I told would end with "...and so that's when I shot him."

Its been suggested that the Federal government be run like a corporation. But wouldn't they have to just shut themselves down?

Faith is not what you believe, its's how you live. Eternity is not where you go, it's where you are.

No matter what promises they make or papers they sign, people don't belong to each other; they have to choose each other every day. And I think its the same way with God, that every day we choose our own relationship with Him. And if in the end that means we have less security than we like, it also means that no one is ever truly "lost" and that everyone has the same chance every day to make things right.

I have this sinking feeling that I'm going to say something incredibly stupid

It's funny how people who say it's funny how certain things are funny, usually aren't funny and aren't even meant to be funny. That's funny.

I guess it really is impossible to get fired from a government job, because people would get fired from McDonald's for some of the crap they do at the office on the show 24

If I see Halle Berry in person, I'm going to have someone introduce me to her and tell them my name is Harry Perry, so that they'll have to go "Halle Berry, Harry Perry....Harry Berry, Halle Berry.."

You know why Superman doesn't have a sidekick like Robin or Wonder-Girl or Aqualad? It's because Superman is so freakin' awesome that Batman and Wonder Woman and Aquaman are his sidekicks!!! I bet you never thought of that!!

When my boys misbehave, I threaten to legally change their names to "Mary" and "Wussbag"

GOD!!! I am officially in the middle of the Friday That Wouldn't End!!!

Spring is in the air! The birds are singing and the flowers are in bloom! It's such a magical time, and if I had just one wish during this magical season of birth and renewal, it would be for every man and woman to bow before me and serve me as the absolute ruler of the entire planet.

Today this dude called me and he was like "Dude!" and I was all "Duuuuude..." and he was like "Dude??" and I was all *click*

Sometimes we pray for stuff and then we get it and then we go, "Oh, awesome, I didn't need to pray for that after all, it happened anyway!" I like to think that God is pretty even-tempered but bet that annoys him.

Today, Republicans lawmakers introduced legislation making blue the official color of the sky. Democratic opponents immediately attacked the plan, calling it irresponsible and unfair to the colors gray and silver. In related news, Republican minority leaders are preparing opposition to the Democratic "Puppies Are Cute"... bill, saying that kittens are smaller and cuter. More on these stories as they develop.

Guilt and regret look backward at a past that can't be changed; anxiety and worry look forward to a future that doesn't even exist. Take each day for what it is and don't burden yourself with stuff that doesn't matter.

Eat well, stay fit, and then die anyway

Faith is a mountain to be climbed, and not a flower to be picked; Wisdom is a tool to be used in service, and not a treasure to be hoarded. Wherever you are in your journey, God is calling you further on, to a deeper understanding and a richer faith than what you have. Don't despair. Rest, but don't turn back.

Without form there is no desire. Without desire there is tranquillity. In this way all things would be at peace ~Lao Tzu

Some encouraging news about Seth, whose surgery went well!! Let's keep praying for this family!!

Why the Fuss?

According to scientists, there does seem to be an upper limit as to how intelligent mankind may be. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be the same limit on stupidity.

Why do people clearly enunciate and repeat their phone numbers when they leave a voicemail, but then when they say their names they just mumble?

Children are open to the world as its presented to them, without judgement or reservation. Adults are the ones who install their filters, their sense of what's proper and acceptable versus what's not. This could keep a child safe and happy, or it can really mess them up.

If I was President of Egypt, everywhere I went I would have them play "Walk Like An Egyptian"

Jack Bauer, John McClane, Batman? Sorry, Jason Bourne kicks all of their asses.

I was helping Quinn with his homework, reviewing the causes of WWI, and it occurred to me that if he lived with his mom, she would just tell him it was all my fault

Karma is not a tool used to wish revenge on other people, nor is it an economy of saving "points" to exchange for good fortune; rather, it's the totality of being, the expression of mind, body and spirit, reflected in the Christian teaching of reaping what you sow, and "where your treasure is, there is your mind also."... Be careful invoking "karma" against others; that's just an expression of your own.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Also, they should get dressed in the basement.

Some say that the notion of the romantic coupling originated with Rennaissance poets, replacing the tradition of arranged marriages, but I believe its an emotional expression of the genetic mandate to procreate that ensures our survival as a species - which ironically, due to dwindling resources and industrial encroachment, is the very thing that now casts our survival in doubt. So, Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

The cashier at McDonald's was totally hitting on me this morning, it was so obvious the way she refused to make eye contact or even acknowledge that I was there, that she was trying so hard cover up the smoldering desire she felt

If Fiona Apple started making shoes, she would be an Apple Cobbler

If Descartes had written children's books, then the Little Engine would have gone up the hill saying "I think, therefore I can"

Sometimes, when I hear religious people debate over who's right, it's like watching fleas argue over who's taller

If you name your baby Sarah Connor, you're just asking for trouble

I hear they're going to remake the show "The Fall Guy" only this time, instead of being a stuntman, he's just going to be really clumsy

If a thing is true then its truth is self-evident. Scientific work is judged on its merits; no one questions the scientist's motives. Why then, when a spiritual or moral truth is revealed, do we want to know if the speaker is Christian or Buddhist, Muslim or Atheist, without considering the statement itself? Our God is a God of possibilities, not limitations. Let truth be true, and accept it as you find it.

If I opened a bait shop near Three Mile Island, I would call it Nuclear Fishin'

If God never gives us more than we can handle, why do we have potholders?

They're saying that Washington, DC is completely frozen and everything is gridlocked and nothing is getting done. Also, it's snowing really bad.

And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing. But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God. (Acts 5: 38-39)

A truckload of Viagra was stolen last night. Four hardened criminals escaped.

They say if you die in your dream then you'll actually die. But that's not true. Last night I dreamed that I tie-dyed a shirt and this morning my shirt was still plain.

I don't know any Star Trek trivia. EVerything I know about Star Trek is real, significant, and important. It's not trivia.

My prediction for the final episode of Lost is that its going to turn out Jenna Elfman is head of the Dharma Initiative

I thought she might be bipolar, but bipolars have good days

My favorite cause is beCAUSE I'm freakin' AWESOME!!!

If people could fly like Superman, I wonder how many actually would? Because most people don't even like to walk and, given a choice, would probably never get off the couch. It doesn't seem like havin the ability to fly would change that tendency towards inaction.

If Roger Daltrey wrote a song about the process by which some lower-level amphibians and mollusks regrow severed limbs, he would call it "Talkin' Bout Regeneration"

Love your neighbor doesn't mean pretend to be friends with everyone.

Obama wants to outlaw scary movies as part of the War on Terror

I miss those Dateline NBC "To Catch A Predator" shows. Maybe they should combine it with a show about immigration and call it "Aliens Vs. Predators"

Remembering a friend today. She's ten years gone but never forgotten.

Got kind of emotional this morning throwing away the last empty bottle of Incredible Hulk Bubble Bath after my youngest said he was too old for Incredible Hulk Bubble Bath anymore. I could almost hear that sad, dinkly piano music as David Banner walked down the street hitch-hiking. Goodbye, old friend.

WHo are you? Who who who who? Isn't that the song they sang at the Grinch Christmas?

How geeky is it to NOT watch the Super Bowl but DVR it so that I can watch the commercials later?

The reason I stopped playing competitive sports at such a young age is because the coaches kept saying "I can't hear you!" even though I was yelling as loud as I could, and once I figured out that none of them were hearing impaired, it just got annoying

There's only one thing that offends me on TV. You can mock my race, my religion, my politics, my nationality, and I don't care. I am offended when people think it's funny to kick a guy in the marbles, because that's not funny ever.

When people say they respect your religious beliefs, they usually mean it in the same way that they respect your right to own a handgun, trusting that you know how it works and won't attack you with it

Some say that the notion of the romantic coupling began with troubadors and poets in the Middle Ages, but I contend it's a genetic imperative necessary for the propogation of our species, and one that is not only obsolete but also delf-defeating in light of dwindling resources. Happy Valentine's Day.

This morning I am walking around in a superhero t-shirt tucked into my sweatpants. Stand in line, ladies!

Cheerleaders are great for football and basketball, but I need some cheerleaders to follow me around during the day

I have my ex-wife's mugshot as a screensaver on my home computer. It's how I like to remember her.

If everyone else jumped off the Empire State Building, I would, but only after they all went, because I'd be afraid that, if I went first, they'd just laugh and go home

Why do creepy stalker-type people think that being creepy and threatening will lead to a long-term happy relationship? Are there grandmas out there saying "Yeah, I remember when your grandpa climbed in my window, cut up all my teddy bears and wrote 'Die b***' in lipstick on the mirror...That's when I knew he was my forever guy!"

Why do ghosts always open doors and move things out of place and make noise, and why are there no anal retentive ghosts who organzie your sock drawer and wash your dishes and clean up?

Dear women, If you really feel the need to play games, join a softball league and leave me alone. Thanks! Love, Mark

It doesn't seem like it's supposed to be this hard

Its great to know who you can count on. Its just as nice to know who you can't

The sun shines, the rain falls, the trees and plants grow, requiring nothing of us, giving warmth, light, shelter and life to all, without judgement or reservation - How can we then do any less? Act with compassion and kindness, give without questioning, and suffering diminishes.

Last week I read leading economists predict that gas was going up to $3.00 a gallon, this week it's down thirty cents a gallon. I think we hold psychics and palm-readers to a higher standard than the news media holds "economists" to!!

Where there is life, there is hope

Have you ever seen a chicken jump out a window or off the back of a truck, and then flap its wings like it thinks it can fly but it really can't fly and just falls to the ground? That's my theory of how the government operates.

Please stop saying "hump day".

Has anyone ever considered how dumb it is to say "I see what you're saying..." ????

Looks like all those years of doing nothing are finally paying off

I tried looking on the bright side and it burned out my retinas

My name in Urban Dictionary, for whatever its worth: "the sexiest, smartest thing alive. derived from the bible "Mark" is a walking god. It would be an honor to know someone by this name. Should you ask something of him, he will know the perfect answer. It is for this reason that he is a lady pleaser." WHATEVER!!!

If one of my sons was in New Jersey and one was in jail, I would get the one out of New Jersey first.

One day I hope to break the 40-Minute Mile

Sometimes it seems like God and the Devil are playing a giant cosmic game of hackysack with me

Today at work this dude called up and he was like "Dude!" and I was all "Dude?" and so he was like "Duuuude..." and I was all *click*

I'm so sure

The preacher on TV said that Wicca was the work of the devil, so I went outside and burned all my patio furniture

I don't know what you call "fear of dinosaurs" but I bet a lot of cavemen had it

I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. Proverbs 8:17

I know that electricity is real because I have a home that is powered by it; I know that radio waves are real because I have a radio that receives them; and I know that God is real because I have a spirit made to recognize Him

I used to dream of tropical islands and girls in bikinis, but now I dream of affordable insurance and not getting laid off

I bet cavemen got frustrated playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, because they would always be choosing "Rock"

I wonder if the Flintstones play a video game called Dance Dance Evolution?

RIP Mr. Boland, a great dad and a great neighbor and a great guy. He called his son Googy and drove a green convertible and loved baseball.

If giant robots ever invade from outer space and take over the world, I'm just going to play some disco music and dance like a robot, and hopefully that'll fool them

I bet if one of those Eat More Chicken Cows ever went to a San Diego Padres game, that San Diego Chicken dude would clock him

One am. I have to be up in three hours. Just woken up by screaming kids. Screaming, as in, at each other - and they're teenagers, not babies

You hardly ever hear of people naming their kids Maureen anymore. I think it's because, whenever there's a war, the Maureens are the ones who always get deployed first

Be the person that you are in your heart, and don't let others decide how you feel about yourself. Live without fear or regret. Say what you mean without apology. Keep moving forward. Be awesome!!!

When I die, please, no elaborate funeral. Just cremate me and spread the ashes on a small flower bed. And then take the flowers and put them in a vase that looks like one of the robots from Mystery Science Theater, and then blast it into space, with a military salute of a thousand cannons going off while a 10,000 piece... orchestra plays the Batman theme. And have lots of grief counselors on hand. Because I'm awesome.

Most of the time when I say "I'm sorry" I'm being sarcastic in the "I'm sorry I must not have heard you correctly because I can't believe anyone would ever say anything that stupid" kind of way.

If I ever go into show business, I think a good stage name would be Sirius Bongwater

Thanks for accepting my friend request Jill Pellegrini - You've just won a lifetime supply of AWESOME!!!

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "...as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: 'to an unknown god.' Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you. "The God who made the world and everything in ...it is the LORD of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands." (Acts 7:22-24)

I wonder if Thor or Wonder Woman go around trying to convert people to their religion?

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no AWESOME!!!

I've given it a lot of thought, and I've decided that I think it would be less scary to have 100 giant killer robots take over the world, than to have a hundred million little tiny robots take over the world

When was the last time you heard someone say "I don't have an opinion on that"....??

I'm taking a class to learn how to look at small plastic airplanes and be able to tell you when they were made. Then I can tell everyone that I date models.

When someone talks about restoring traditional values to America, what traditions do they mean? Because I think we've made a lot of progress over the last 50 years, tearing down some of the walls that separated us based on race or gender, and I don't think tradition for its own sake is so wonderful

We can dance if we want to

I would be the Pope if there was a religion based on being AWESOME!!!

She told me that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference. I told her, I could really care less.

The word "morality" derives from the social mores within a community, and does not infer an objective, intractable set of standards, whether Divinely inspired or not. Civil and religious authority traditionally exists to hold a single standard of behavior, rather than encouraging individual introspection, withholding judgement of one another, and seeking God as He reveals Himself rather than as others present Him.

Reading the Diary of Anne Frank really makes me want to go kill me some Nazis

I'm going to watch that movie about Amelia Earheart but don't tell me how it ends, I want to be surprised

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Or go to the bathroom.

If someone who is very close to you dies and you're not quite ready to say goodbye, a good thing to do is go to the viewing wearing 3-D glasses, so that it looks like they're coming right at you out of the casket.

Wherever Mr. T goes, you can be sure that there are fools there, and that they need pitying

I wonder if the Mr. T Biography special on A&E talks about how, in later years, his career stalled when he found himself always being typecast as "the angry black guy with lots of jewelry and a mohawk"

I've shortened my resume down to just my name and contact information, and then the word AWESOME!! in big letters. Is anyone hiring?

If vampires can get killed by crosses and holy water, why don't they just go to Muslim countries?

My best friend called me and asked what I want for my birthday, and I said all I wanted was peace and kindness and compassion, and he laughed and said that might be a bit much to ask for, so I said THEN GET STUFFED, DORK!!!

You know how when you're dating someone and it's kind of casual and they say "I love you" and you don't quite know what to say? I've found the best response is to just kind of look at her and say "Ok, just calm down."

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!!! It was kind of overwhelming how many people posted on my wall!!

This week kicked my ass so bad that the surviving Beatles started a rumour I was dead

So, you know how there are men who make their living by dressing like and performing as women, and they always choose Cher or Bette Midler or Liza Minelli or Dolly Parton? I think, if there were women who dressed and performed as men, they would dress like John Denver or Michael Bolton or Barry Manilow or the Bee Gees

It doesn't bother me when I read that Obama took over 300M in campaign contributions from BP, or anything that that infers, because I expect that from politicians. What bothers me is all the people who will still defend him like that doesn't matter.

If you have a problem...if no one else can help...and if you can find them...maybe you can hire...The A- Team

Do I like it when people try to make their point by asking a question and then answering it themselves? Of course not. Am I doing it anyway just to annoy you? Absolutely!

You know how you find these strange connections on Facebook? I just found out that the daughter of a former co-worker is friend's with my nephew's fiance, isn't that weird?

I am off to my first morning volunteering at the Lawrenceville Cooperative Ministry, pretty cool stuff!

My divorce was so contentious that Indy's first words weren't "mommy" or "daddy", but "custodial parent"

I'm skipping church to go see The A-Team and I don't feel guilty about it!! And then this afternoon going to see Indy Schieber and Elle Fox-Weasley in a play

Why do frat boys who are drinking always hold their drinks up when someone takes a picture of them? Like they're saying "Hey, look at me, I'm drunk!" Dude, we KNOW you're drunk, no sober person would ever get that haircut.

Why do people think that, since we put a man on the moon, we should be able to do ANYTHING?

Driving home today I saw a milk truck overturned on the side of the road. All the people who were helping clean up looked like they were trying not to cry, and that's as it should be, I think.

Hollywood can never get anything right. I watched the movie "Tom Sawyer" and it wasn't anything like the Rush song!

The things that we accuse each other of - hypocrisy, short-sightedness, lack of compassion - are not failings of the Left or the Right, and there is no character flaw unique to the Christian or to the Unbeliever. There are only human failings, and we all need to examine our hearts and our motives every day. I think God... cares more about how we treat each other than what we think of Him.

Don't ever ask someone why they say the stupid stuff that they say, because if they're stupid enough to say the stupid stuff then they're not smart enough to explain why.

When she leaves early, it's generally a sign that you've given a bad impression on a first date, especially when she backs slowly out of the room and screams "Stay back! People know I'm here!"

I still think it would be a good idea to take all those internet predators that Datline NBC rounds up, send them to Arizona and have a special called "Aliens Vs. Predators"

If I see that you have a need and I give you something, that's compassion. If I see that you have a need and I vote for a guy that's going to take it from someone who makes more money than you so that you can have it, that's not compassion.

I wonder if all the feel-good positive-thinking optimists have ever noticed that a rainbow is shaped just like a frown?

Imagine there's no liberals, it's easy if you try.

I like to say things that challenge people and make them think, even if all they're thinking is "What the hell is wrong with that guy?"

I am so awesome that if Awesome were a dude, then he would be jealous of how AWESOME I am

If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?

One real test of character is, what would you do if the doctor told you you had one day to live? A better test of character is, what would you do if the doctor told you you had one day to live and at the end of that day told you he made a mistake and you probably had another 40 or 50 years?

If I don't ever get to see you at your best, I sure don't want to see you at your worst

When is Obama going to do something about the weather?

If there was a place called Nodah, and if they elected to form a representative government, then they would be the Nodah Republic

If there is Truth is art and science, if Truth is revealed in books and movies, if Truth shines through all of creation and every living thing, in imaginary myths and fables and proverbs, and if we can recognize the Truth all around us....why do people think that there is Truth in only one religion?

When I disagree with someone, I'm not one of those people who has to be right at all costs. It just happens that I always am.

Once I asked a guy to translate into Spanish the phrase "I know you are but what am I?" and what he came up with was "I know what you are but I don't know what I am" and I think it lost something in translation

Why do hippy vegetarians tell us that plants are a sustainable source of food but animals aren't? Because it kind of seems like they would both be.

Why is it that on TV, if someone is shooting at the good guy he will hide behind a car like bullets won't go through the car, but then when he is shooting at someone in a car, the car always blows up?

OMG will someone please tell me what all these people are doing for five or ten minutes at the drive-through ATM?? I swear if it takes me more than 90 seconds to punch in my code and take my cash, something is wrong. And yet they sit there rummaging through things, punching in numbers, sliding in and out little slips of paper WHAT IS GOING ON??

I think the Brady Bunch really started going downhill once all the guys started getting perms

All my life people have told me I'm "different" but from now on I'm going to be the same.

I always can tell the women who undress me with their eyes. They're the ones freaking out and running away

I made an appointment with the Red Cross to donate some of my AWESOME!!

We all choose our relationship to God. In His time and in His purpose He'll show us where He wants us, in the right church and the right home and the right job, and not the other way round.

I asked her if she was involved with anyone but I should have been more specific and said that, yes, self-involved does count

See that light at the end of the tunnel? That's my AWESOME!!

Do you ever sometimes just look at your life and where you are, with all your dreams and aspirations, and all of the hope you've invested in your children, and wonder how things might have been different if you could shoot lasers from your eyes and had an invisible robot friend from the future?

Someone asked me today if I was going to watch the U.S. Open!! OMG!! When did the U.S. Close??!!

How do you walk ON sunshine?

You should have lived during the Inquisition, you're such a martyr

Someone unfriended me today

If someone is only attracted to homeless people, does that make them a hobosexual?

Tried my cousin's recipe - jalapenos stuffed with cheese and wrapped with bacon. Ran out of jalapenos and used big mushrooms. Two words: AWE SOME!

Out here in the fields I fight for my meals I get my back into my liver, yeah yeah

I'm on a mission to cut all the drama and deadwood out of my life

I was seeing a psychologist and all my problems were getting worse. He told me he was using Reverse Psychology on me.

Whenever I see a sign thats says "Caution - Children Playing" I just keep on going, because I'm not afraid of children

I wonder if there was ever an Asian person whose name was Cha Ching. If there was, I bet they worked in a casino.

I wonder if, when they executed that killer in Utah by firing squad, the guy in charge was going "READY....AIM....FIREPLUG!...Just kidding haha....READY....AIM....FIREFLY!...."

I'm carrying sugarcubes and carrots around in my pockets, so when the Four Horsemen come, I'll be ready

Maybe it's true that there is no God, but I'd rather serve an imaginary God and brought whatever joy I could into the world, than to have lived in misery without hope. And maybe it's true that life and the universe only have whatever meanings we assign to them, but that's a far cry from saying that they have no meaning at all.

I think the Bee Gees song "More Than A Woman" should be the theme song for Weight Watchers

I think a really good ambulance driver is one that can come up on the scene of an accident and instantly sum up the situation by saying "Ooooo, that's got to hurt!"

WHoever thought of putting pretzels in M&M's should win the Nobel Prize for Candy

God made us imperfect in an imperfect world, not to delight in our suffering but to delight in our continued triumph over suffering, not so that we wouldn't know joy but so that we would find joy, and not so that we wouldn't understand Him but so that we would constantly choose Him

The boys woke me up in the middle of the night laughing really loud at something. I was going to get up and tell them to go to bed, but it's so seldom that I hear them laughing together at the same time, I decided to rough it out.

When I go to church, I still giggle every time someone says the word "pianist" or "rectory"

I love everyone, except the jerks I can't stand

Why are cartoon characters on cereal commercials always trying to steal cereal? What are we teaching our kids?

She asked me "Don't you ever just give a straight answer?" and I said "Well...Yes and No..."

An open mind allows for more optimism than a self-righteous one

You know how every time someone reports seeing a UFO, it turns out to just be a weather balloon? Why do they make weather balloons look so freaky?

I've never heard a single song by Shakira, but I have seen lots of pictures of her, and she looks very very talented

It's painful and difficult to have to lower your expectations, but it's somehow liberating to abandon them completely

I hate it when people say things to try to sound redneck that real rednecks don't really say

This time of year I remember the valuable lessons my dad taught me. One year I looked up at him and said "Dad, why do they call it a summer solstice?" and my dad said "Because....what the hell else are you gonna call it? Eat your dinner!"

Sometimes, ending a horribly self-destructive and dysfunctional relationship is like that kid in "Old Yeller" having to shoot his dog. No matter how much you wish otherwise, it's got to be done.

Quinn says "Can my friend come over tomorrow? His mom said it was ok."...."No, not while I'm at work all day. Why don't you go over to his house?"...."Because his mom is going to be at work all day"....Someone tell me, did I do a whole bunch of drugs today?? Or am I just the parent of a teenager?

Days like today I wish someone would steal my identity

Be careful what you wish for. Especially if you don't know you're supposed to wish for good things

So this Joran Van der Sloot is getting marriage proposals in prison? Is this what women mean when they tell normal guys that they're "too nice"....?

Quinn says "Pop, why do you keep making me do things I don't want to do?"...."Because you're THIRTEEN YEARS OLD!!"

They say some divorces are friendly. They also say some snakes are born with two heads, but I've never seen one.

If California legalizes marijuana, will Puff The Magic Dragon be their new state song?

Nothing's been the same since Warren Zevon died

How do we know that the aliens aren't disguising their UFO's like weather balloons?

Those people who want to sue McDonalds for giving away Happy Meals toys? I wonder if as a compromise, McDonalds could give away toy defibrilators and toy rib spreaders so that kids can play heart attack and bypass surgery

Some people say age ain't nothing but a number. But so are IQ's, and credit ratings, and street addresses. Numbers mean things.

My buddy Bob asked me if I could imagine playing ten hours of tennis. I said dude, I can't imagine watching ten hours of tennis.

Whoever is texting my 13 year old son every .05 seconds needs to get a life

When I have to ground my kids, I'm only leveling things off. I've been grounded the last 14 years.

If you seek to encourage, enlighten, and spread kindness and compassion, then these things will grow, if not in the lives and hearts of others, then at least in your own. If you seek to educate without being asked, convert others, or change the way they think and believe, then you sow conflict and discord, resistance and frustration. Decide what you want your life to be about.

If you really believe something, go hang out with people who disagree with you. Let your faith be challenged. If resistance strengthens your faith, you're that much better off; if it destroys your faith, then it wasn't a faith worth having anyway, and you can find something real to believe in. Either way, you win.

The only reason I cried at the end of Toy Story 3 is because I'm not a FREAKIN' ROBOT OK???

I don't want to change the world. Although if I did, let's just say there would be a lot more water slides.

They say that girls mature faster than boys, though all I can say for sure is, they mature faster than me.

The neighbor kid came over yesterday, his mom sent him to borrow a cup of AWESOME!!!

I got a headache. It's like a nuclear bomb.

Once I had a chick break up with me because I made fun of how Jim Morrison is supposed to be this deep-thinking, iconic, beat-generation poet, but all of the Doors songs sound like Broadway show tunes. It's probably for the best though, because someone that sensitive shouldn't even be within 10 feet of me.

If the devil opened a candy factory, he would just make black jelly beans

My Warren Zevon station on Pandora just played "All Along The Watchtower" and now it's playing "Folsom Prison Blues"...Warren Zevon is so awesome.

Thinking of changing my name from Mark to MARK!!!

If anyone wants to tell me I'm not full of the love of Jesus, well, he better be prepared to back that up, that's all I'm sayin'

If ducks and beavers ever go to war with each other, it seems like the platypus will want to stay neutral, because no matter who wins, no one will ever trust the platypus again.

As we all remember Michael Jackson today, and all of his enormous talent and his contribution to our culture, let us not forget that despite the shadow he casts over this entire generation, that he was one weird-ass dude

If I could be half the man you are, you would always be twice the man I could ever be

Dear Netflix people, I've been a customer for five years. I don't need to see anymore pop-up ads. Love, Mark

Doesn't it seem like the typical 80's pop song was a huge production, with a full orchestra, fireworks, bombs going off, and screaming lyrics? And those were just the love songs.

I wonder if Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church people think that God hates the Flintstones, because they encourage kids to have a Gay Ol' Time

Many people don't know this, but FDR suffered from a rare disorder called Phobiphobia, a fear of fear itself

In Barrow County its the law: If you see a guy with a beer and a chainsaw, you have to get your video camera

I think the Karate Kid's problem wasn't that bullies were trying to beat him up, but that he didn't have any other friends but some old Chinese guy

I wonder if, when John Hughes died, they played "Don't You Forget About Me" at his funeral? Because that would have been awesome.

It shouldn't count as a "phobia" unless you're afraid of things that can't really kill you.

The bad thing about raising awareness for amnesia is that you have to keep raising it over and over all the time

If you give me your number and I call and you don't answer and I leave a voicemail and you don't call back, and I run into you and you reference something I said in the voicemail but claim that you didn't know I'd called, then don't assume I'm mad at you if I don't ever call you again, because there's a difference betw...een being mad and just not being stupid enough to play along when you lie right to my face.

If you go to a job interview, and they ask you to account for a gap in your employment history, just tell them that you were doing some work for the CIA that you're not allowed to talk about and that the agency will disavow any knowlege of, and then just kind of let it slip that there's "one less Central American desp...ot to worry about". That's bound to impress a prospective employer.

Ignorance is never offensive to the ignorant

Dear Hollywood, The last time a prominent actor tried to affect political change in America, his name was John Wilkes Booth. It didn't work out so well. Love, Mark

I'M SO TIRED AND I CAN'T SLEEP!!!

If you want to know and understand God, seek Him first in the quiet places of your mind and heart, not by trying to live up to standards set by other people. Seek God and God will reveal Himself. Seek Truth and Truth will be made known to you. Seek approval and validation, and you will always live with disappointment. You choose.

I wish real life was more like beer commercials

My life is so boring that once when I thought I was dying, my life flashed before my eyes and I fell asleep.

A shipment of jigsaw puzzles was stolen last night, and investigators are still trying to piece together what happened

In 235 years, France has had 14 different governments. Italy has had 38. America, which was supposed to be this piss-ant little experiment in representative government that everyone thought would fail, has had one. Through wars and depressions, the government and the markets have held. Why, then, do Democrats always pr...omise us CHANGE, as if the entire system is broken? Move to Italy if you want change!

A ring of thieves has hijacked a shipment of industrial toilet seats. A police spokesman announced today that the case is a priority, but at this point they have nothing to go on.

If your religion is not in the majority and concessions have to be made for other faiths, it's not a sign of the apocalypse and doesn't mean you're persecuted. If someone has a political opinion different than yours, it doesn't mean you're being attacked or maligned. If someone lives a different lifestyle than you, the...y're just trying to live their lives, not pose a threat to you. We're all different. Calm down.

I had to call the Barrow County Tax Commisioner today after sending in my tag fees a week late and $10.00 short, both the Secretary and the Tax Commisioner herself called me "honey" and said they'd mail out my tags today, and if I get pulled over in the meantime, just have the officers call them. I love small towns.

I used to want to marry Dharma from "Dharma & Greg" but now I'm torn between Pepper Potts from "Iron Man" and Penny from "The Big Bang Theory"

I think a really great movie would be Tarzan Vs. King Kong On The Planet Of The Apes

What do you call a 19th century French leader who's been shot with a cannon? Napolean Blown Apart

If you say "That's what she said" after everything that everyone says, then the one time it makes sense doesn't make you a brilliant comedian. It's just the law of averages.

I don't think I could be friends with a cannibal, because no matter how great his personality was I would always be thinking "That dude's a cannibal." And then there would be the awkward conversations about why I don't want him babysitting my kids, and it just wouldn't be worth it to me. No offense, cannibals.

If someone invented a cheap, clean, non-polluting vehicle that would solve all our energy problems, but it used endangered species for fuel, I bet environmentalists's heads would all explode

If they ever make a movie out of Warren Zevon's life, I think they should randomly cut away to scenes where I'm sitting there listening to his music. And Johnny Depp can play me.

I'm glad that we live in a country where everyone, regardless of race or gender or religion, is free to express their opinions, and I am free to ignore them

Buddhism is dangerous. You could put your I out.

A man was arrested in Barrow County for stealing 3 six packs of beer. Upon reviewing the evidence, the Disttict Attorney said "I can't make a case out of this"

I was going to go see the new Twilight movie, but then someone offered to hit me in the head really hard with a hammer, and I decided I would rather do that, so....yeah....

I have very strong feelings about controversy in general, and I'm not afraid to get all up in your face about it

If I have a bad first date, I like to end on a positive note, so usually I'll pick up the check and say something like, "On the bright side, this date can be tax deductible if I ever publish a book on borderline psychosis."

This is interesting....First they banned Burquas, and Christians apparently didn't say much, because it wasn't their religious freedom being threatened. And then they were left with a gov't that had the power to abridge religious liberties, and now what?

Sometimes it seems like people care more about animals than they do about other people

Note: If you're a pale, friendless science-grokking doofwad working for the U.S. government, and some uber-hot Russian supermodel falls so in love with you that she'll even ask you in great detail about your work, I don't care how completely she blends into American culture, I hate to break it to you but she's a spy, dude.

Q: How many transcendent existentialists does it take to change a lightbulb? A: A Bicycle

As I get older, my attitudes have kind of evolved. For instance, there was a time when I thought it wasn't a good idea for single people to adopt, but I think having kids has changed my perspective a little. Now, I think any qualified single person should be allowed to adopt my kids.

If you're messing around with a Klingon, I think you should know, Klingons don't mess around

Dear Super Hot Russian Spy Chicks, I have lots of secrets. Let's see if you can get them out of me. Love, Mark

I'm ready to settle down

In a thousand years, I believe that there will be a major world religion based around the teachings of John McClane in "Die Hard"

If I see a driving school car on the highway, I drive up right behind them as fast as I can, honking continuously and flipping them off. It's to give the student driver what I like to call the "Crisis Experience". Sure, sometimes they run off the road, but I always insist that they don't thank me. It's just part of my giving nature.

If someone you know gets amnesia, I think a funny thing to do would be to take him to the circus, hand him a whip and a chair, tell him he's a lion tamer and that he's late for work. Then just watch the hilarity ensue.

There was an emergency one day and someone ran into the office and said "Does anyone here speak Spanish?" and I said, "I don't speak Spanish, but I can speak English really loud if you think that might help." Just because I'm awesome like that.

What is it with all these teachers having affairs with their underage students? I used to tell my kids not to talk to strangers, now I tell them not to talk to teachers.

I think in hell, everyone stands around talking about the weather.

The real problem is going to be all the arm injuries from blind drivers reading Braille road signs

Why don't we import cars from Switzerland? Because Swiss cars always get stuck in neutral

I hate it that I can't text and drive anymore! If only there was some type of device that I could just TALK into to convey information.

Just passed a place near Gwinnett Place Mall called King Taco. Doesn't the taco seem more like a democratic-type food? Burger King I can see, because burgers are followers, but I think tacos should have a President. El Presidente Taco. Who's with me?

My sister killed the hornets that had built nests by my door, even though they never bothered anyone. Now they're back. I think I'll leave them alone. It's kind of like "Charlotte's Web" except with hornets.

You sure are a funny kid, Johnny. But I like you! So tell me, what kind of boy are you, John?

Twilight is teaching girls that they don't have to be interesting for guys to fight over them, just mope around. Actually that sounds about right.

Q: Who would win if Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, and Hayden Pantierre got in a fight? A: Trick question - No one would care who won, as long as we could watch

A car for the blind? Based on the way people drive in Atlanta, we've had those for years.

Boomerang is playing Josie & The Pussycats, which is awesome, but not as awesome as it would be to see the ones where they were in space. So I'm watching five episodes of J&TPC followed by the one episode they guest starred on The New Scooby Doo Movies, a cosmic alignment of AWESOME!!!!

Slept 12 hours!!! Feel great except I think I feel a gout flare up coming on. This is the worst!! Happy Fourth to all my American friends, and Happy Sunday to my friends in Canada and overseas.

Bye Bye Miss American Spy, Drove my Gremlin by the Kremlim but the Kremlin was dry

You know it's time to re-examine your housekeeping habits when you see a GIGANTIC bug on the carpet and think "I hope to God that's one of the kids' toys"

Watching a special on Barbara Eden, who married the dude who played Kang on the original Star Trek, wondering if their kid thought he was badass because his mom was a Jeannie and his dad was a Klingon

Isn't it ironic that the same Christians who keep saying we should go back to the ways of the Early Church who lived by such faith, are the same ones who say we have to win back America for Jesus, when the early church was persecuted mercilessly by every government they encountered? You don't have to live in a Christian nation to be a Christian.

You know that song from t he Karate Kid that goes "I am a man who will fight for your honor".....? I always think it sounds like he's singing to a judge

If someone married Bjorn Borg, does he call it "being assimilated"?

When they tell you on TV "If you call now", how do they know if you really are calling now?

Sometimes I wish I was a hippy

Happy Cinco De July

In the last three days I've watched 16 episodes of Josie and the Pussycats and I'm not tired of it.

Indy said that our house is so clean, we could almost have girls come over

If aliens ever land on earth, I'll welcome them, as long as they don't start taking our jobs. Then I would be a real jerk to them.

Let's take a moment on this fourth of July to remember how this great country was founded, when Jesus came over on the Mayflower

If I was a little kid living a miserable life in an orphanage, and I could just say "Shazam" and turn into an awesome grown-up superhero, I don't think I would ever turn back

I had forgotten that, once a kid hits 13, he knows everything. He knows better ways to do things, he always has better reasons for getting what he wants, and he can't understand why people don't do things his way. Could it be that in the course of human history every teenager has tried it that way and failed? I'm sure ...Gandhi had a teenage son who said "So what's so bad about the British?"

Dear middle-aged woman that I saw at Wal Mart this morning, I hate to tell you this, but that butterfly lower-back tattoo you got back in 1991? Yeah, it looks like a bat. Love, Mark

I think every time my teenage son throws clean clothes in the laundry hamper, I'm going to take them ALL out of the hamper and make him wear EVERYTHING for one full day. So he'll have like 3 shirts and 5 pairs of pants and 20 socks on for a whole day. Maybe that will get his attention.

When I see an 18-wheeler with a "How Am I Driving?" 800-number on it, I like to call in and say that he's throwing empty beer cans out the window and taking pot-shots at random drivers with a high-powered rifle. I think that keeps everyone on their toes, and the highways are that much safer for everyone. No need to thank me.

If I ever have to go to prison, I won't join one of those violent prison gangs. I'll just start my own gang and only let nice people join, and we'll call ourselves "The Happy Good-Time Prison Gang" and we'll stage musicals and bake sales. Because, hey, we're all in this together, right?

If there was someone whose job it was to sharpen pencils, I bet he would always be asking himself, What's the point?

They say that in Heaven, we'll all be singing God's praises all day. But I don't really like singing that much, and I wonder if they'll let me sit in a separate room and do math problems or something? Because I bet in Heaven, math will be easy.

I'm against helper monkeys just on principle, because that's pretty much how Planet of The Apes got started

Isn't it funnny that when people say "Isn't it funny" they're usually talking about something that isn't actually funny?

She told me all she wanted was for me to talk about how I really feel. I told her I felt the original Die Hard was the greatest movie ever, and that we as a society just didn't place enough value on waterslides, or there would be more of them. We broke up after that. I wish women didn't speak in riddles.

I know how to stop the oil spill, and it's so obvious. Two words: SHAM WOW!

Something fun to do is, when you get on an elevator with only one other person, start feeling around the walls like you're looking for an escape route, and then say "You can never be too careful"

If I was a ninja I wouldn't be a spy or an assassin, because one I don't like to travel and two I wouldn't want to kill people I don't even know well enough to be annoyed by. So instead I think I would open a pizza place and when someone called in an order, they would turn around and BAM! There it would be on the table, delivered ninja-style

If there was a place called Garbage Town where everything was made of garbage, I sure wouldn't want to live there. If you really need more explanation than that, well, let's just say that I can't stand the smell of garbage.

I think the worst job to have in NYC would be head of the Tourism Board for Hell's Kitchen, because I don't even know what that is but I know I wouldn't want to go there. In fact, the only worse place I could think of would be if there was a place called Hell's Bathroom.

I was watching the Twilight Zone last night and it was that episode where the guy is watching the Twilight Zone on TV and it turns out that he's watching an episode about himself, and the weird thing was that the guy I was watching turned out to be me.

If I get bitten by a radioactive spider, I don't think having a Spider-Sense would help me much, because it only seems to warn you like half a second before someone punches you in the face, and no one has punched me in the face since I was like 15. Instead, I would want it to warn me of something useful, like when the ...boss is walking in or when the mail is about to get here.

If I ever argued a case in front of the Supreme Court, every time I used the word "constitutional" or "unconstitutional", I would do the air quotes thing and really over-pronounce the word. Rather than just being sarcastic or disrespecting the Court and its proceedings, I think it would make the Justices take a good, l...ong look at what the Constitution stands for. God, I would be a great lawyer.

What do you call it when someone buys out your Bed & Breakfast? A Hostel takeover

I was talking to a friend of mine about gay marriage and she said to me "Can you imagine having someone else tell you that the person you've chosen to love is a sin?" and I said "Yeah, my father-in-law did that for 12 years"

Facebook is sending me ads asking me if I'm bipolar!!!

Every time I hear the name "Demi Lovato" I always start singing "Domo Arigato Demi Lovato" in my head

I want to start a Buddhist Pest Control business that doesn't kill the bugs and rats that get into your house, just capture and relocate them

I hate that I live in a world where Christians feel the need to bring guns to church

I hate that there is no such a thing as a diet Slurpee

Pretty soon, there will be millions of people who are paralyzed by irrational fears, and that kind of scares me

I think it's so totally awesome to not be obsessive-compulsive

How many Vulcans does it take to change a lightbulb? Approximately 1.000000

If Davy Jones took a job as a receptionist, he would be a Helper Monkee

I'm immediately suspect of anyone who, in political discussions, overuses the words "they" and "them"

She looked so sad, I asked her what was wrong. She said "I guess I'm not very good at hiding my feelings..." I said "You are, if you're secretly happy."

If Bonnie Hunt married the drummer from Led Zeppelin and then marketed little candies with clever sayings on them, they would be Bonnie Bonham's Bon Mot Bon Bons

I did the BBC Book Survey and out of the 100 books on the list I got 10. If I took out all the books that I had to read in school, like the Shakespeare ones and that 1984 book, it would probably be like the Bible and the Chronicles of Narnia. To be fair, there were no science fiction books on the list.

President Obama leaves this week for his third vacation since declaring he would not rest till the oil leak is stopped, the clean up is complete and the Gulf Coast back to normal

Yesterday Jorge's little niece Camilla was introducing me to her friend, and told me "She's Mexican but she can speak Cuban, too"

Be careful what you wish for, especially if you're stupid

I'm so tired of people being outraged

Sometimes I feel a little guilty. A little.

My last girlfriend broke up with me because she said she met someone else, but that was just two kids with a giant overcoat and a fake mustache pretending to be a grown man. The one before that dumped me for a homeless guy, and the one before that dumped me for a character in her Sims game. Is it me?

The easiest part of being a caveman, I think, would be that history books would only be like one page long.

I bet in caveman days, to get into all the snooty caveman country clubs, you had to be able to trace your family tree all the way back to some pretty important amoebas

I bet it was hard when Jesus was born, because they only had like a week to set all the computers to year one

If they didn't count years until after Jesus was born, how did they know when to have the Olympics?

Brad Pitt finally got rid of his beard. No, not that one.

Why is that when you're taking a picture and you ask someone to "look crazy" they always stick out their tongues, instead of staring off into space, wild-eyed and muttering about the CIA, like real crazy people do?

Fred Phelps just released a statement saying that God loves Mel Gibson

This is why they're extinct

The Da Vinci Code says that Jesus had a wife but no one talked about her, and I wonder if she was like Lucy and always coming up with wacky schemes to try to get into the Bible

If I was a policeman, I would ask for bulletproof pants and a bulletproof hat

Isn't it weird that when UFO's come to earth they always go to the Arizona desert? I bet they don't go there anymore.

Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm tired of not caring how offended you are.

BP Oil just won some kind of environmental award? Is this a joke? Isn't this like Roman Polanski winning a Kids' Choice Award?

Domo arigato, Demi Lovato

If you're sensitive and easily offended, what you're really doing is demanding that everyone do everything exactly your way and then punishing them when they don't

I think Fred Phelps needs to rethink his theology, if for no other reason than that, if he's right, him and his family are going to be the only ones in Heaven, and no one else will want to go

If Switzerland is always neutral, why do their army knives have so much stuff on them?

If you sit down to dinner in Switzerland, does the butter knife, the soup spoon, the salad fork, the steak knife, the regular fork, a spatula and a straw all unfold out from the same utensil?

Someone asked me, if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? I said, I would be the one that fell down in the forest when there was no one there to hear it.

I think they should remake "West Side Story" at Dragon Con, with Star Wars fans versus Star Trek fans

If there was a way to take coffee and turn it into gold, most mornings I would still drink the coffee

If you're an unwed teenage mother about to marry the guy who used the national media to trash your whole family....you might be a redneck

I think most people who say that they're "romantic" are in reality codependents with dissociative tendencies

When I was a kid, they used to say "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me." I'll never forget that valuable lesson in all of its innocent wisdom, never to call names, just throw things.

Shouldn't a single Jedi be called a Jedum? Or a Jedus?

I really need a hug. Preferably from someone hot.

Sometimes I wish I was a cartoon. Not in a cartoon world, but in the real world, so that I would be the only cartoon and I could do things that no one else could do. It would kind of be like having super powers.

Sometimes I like to go up to a random person on the street and stand right in their way and scream, "I'm not gonna fight you, man! You're not worth it!"

Am I the only one who thinks Hockey Fighting should be its own sport? No goals, no penalties, just twenty dudes on the ice in pads, going at it with hockey sticks. Two words: AWE....SOME!!!

If the mafia orders a hit on someone in the Czech Republic, do they call it a cancelled Czech?

Just got an email saying that I was NOT selected to move forward in the recruiting process for a position I applied for three years ago. Apparently, they're now hiring a new Efficiency Expert.

On dating websites, "Romantic" means "Stalker", "Like traditional gender roles" means she doesn't want to work, and "I'm into yoga" usually means "I'm probably not into yoga"

When Vanna White goes to the doctor, does he ask her about her Vowel Movements?

When you think people are watching you and it scares you, you're paranoid. When you think people are watching you and you like it, you're an exhibitionist. When you think people are watching you and they really aren't, you work for "Good Day Atlanta".

Hello. You're pretty.

My imaginary friend moved away, and didn't leave a forwarding address.

Is it just coincidence that every homeless schizophrenic thinks that the CIA and the KGB are watching them, or do you think there really could be special divisions of these intelligence-gathering agencies that are really interested in what homeless schizophrenics are doing? And wouldn't it be the perfect cover?

I want to start training for the Ironman competition, but I'll be lucky to qualify for the Marshmallowman

Hallmarki Channel is repeating The Partridge Family! With that, and Boomerang's Josie & The Pussycats, I'm reliving my childhood through cheesy musical montages!!

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Sophia Jorge - You've just bought a one-way ticket to AWESOME!!! Population: Me!!

Wonderful memories are made of all the wonderful things that we remember

When I date a woman, I like to be courteous and find out what she enjoys doing close to her home. That way, she doesn't have to drive, and I get to avoid that long awkward silence when, halfway through dinner, she says "Oh my God take me how right now!"

Growing up, my family was always encouraging me in my intellectual and academic pursuits. Hardly a day went by when someone didn't say "Way to go, genius!"

I don't like it when people on commercials say "Because I'm worth it" because that infers that everyone is worth it, and clearly that's not true

The preacher on TV said that Harry Potter teaches kids black magic, but my kids have watched for years and they haven't learned anything yet

Do you ever wish that they made Giant Triscuits that were as big as pieces of bread and then you could make really crunchy sandwiches out of them? Or what if they were as big as plates and then you could eat your mean and then eat the plate?

The average surface temperature of Venus is 415 degrees Centigrade. But the heat is not really the thing on Venus, it's the humidity.

If I had my own religion, I think I would have rules like, always help people who need it, if you don't like something someone else is doing, keep it to yourself, and always try to do better than you did yesterday.

You know that Beatles song that goes "look at all the lonely people"..? Do we actually have to look at them?

I need to start deleting some people from my list

I think I would rather get eaten by a wolf than a bear. Because no one ever trained a wolf to ride a tricycle, and it would be embarrassing to get eaten by a bear that rode a tricycle to get away.

It's important that children have structure and discipline. And love, too, in judisciously predetermined intervals.

The good thing about Veggie burgers are, they're better for the environment, come in a variety of sizes and flavors, and are a much more humane food source as no animals have to needlessly suffer to provide for us. The downside is, you have to use twice as much bacon as on a regular burger.

I have a guilty confession to make: This weekend, even while neither of my kids were home, I watched two episodes of "Wizards of Waverly Place". I have another guilty confession to make: During one of these episodes, I actually laughed a couple times.

It seems like dudes spend a lot of time and effort telling beautiful women that they're beautiful, and then they say that they want a woman who doesn't know how beautiful she is

The more time I spend alone, the more I watch Star Trek. The more I watch Star Trek, the less attractive I am to women. The less attractive I am to women, the more time I spend alone.

Where do Cornish hens come from? Cornia?

I don't think we should deny the right to vote to anyone, but I don't think we should encourage people to vote when they're completely ignorant

If you have Multiple Personality Disorder, but you don't want to tell your prospective employers, just say you're a "People Person"

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet and stole his shoes since he didn't need them.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and that's pretty much the last you'll see of him

They say there's someone for everyone, but even on Thanksgiving I bet cannibals have to share.

When Tonto was little, I bet his parents were always telling him not to talk to Rangers

I'm thinking that the Green Arrow and the Human Target probably wouldn't get along

When I was about two years old, I realized that the world was a cold, harsh place, love is dead, you can't trust anyone, and in the end you die alone. But I had a good couple years before that

I'm not afraid of spiders or snakes or rats, or even wolves or bears, but I am afraid of monkeys. Monkeys with guns. Because, you know, DAAMN!! They will kill you!!

I think if we want to get people out to the polls, we need to stop calling them "Runoff Elections". That's boring. From now on, let's use the term "Election 2: Voting Boogaloo"

I'm not ashamed to admit that I am digging the Patridge Family reruns. This show is NOTHING like the Brady Bunch, why do people always compare the two? That's like comparing apples to some fruit that totally sucks.

I said good day!!!

An enemy is just a friend who wants to kill you

I think penguins must be the most pro-marriage of all the animals, because they're all born wearing formal wear

Of all God's creations, I believe the most regal, majestic creature to be the Lion, standing proud, roaring his defiance to the world. And surrounded by Hooters waitresses on motorcycles, holding pitchers of beer.

If there was a wildlife refugee for diseased giraffes, it would be Giraffe Sick Park

If I'm ever in a situation where I'm in a crowd and someone at a much higher elevation is taking random shots at us trying to pick us off one by one with a high-powered rifle, I'm not going to duck down behind something for cover. That's just what he expects me to do. I'm going to stand up and wave my arms. It's all ab...out strategy, my friend.

I bet the worst part of living with Hawkman would be having to line the floors of your home with newspaper

My kids are the salt of the earth. I can tell by the way they affect my blood pressure.

I had this weird dream last night that there was the ghost of a pregnant teenage girl in my house. I don't know how the whole pregnant thing works for ghosts. But anyway then I realized that I was Batman and I had to go down this dark tunnel to find someone with super powers to help me. What do you think it means?

Overheard a conversation between my sister and my niece about pregnancy and how long it takes to push the baby out. I told them it takes at least 18 years...

If I went to a planet of monkey people who had to fight giant dragons with rocks just to stay alive, and I tried to teach them, say, calculus, they'd be like "Dude, just pick up a rock and shut up!" And I can't say I would blame them, really.

Tell me the truth. I can take it.

It takes a certain type of personality deficiency to actually write out the word "Um"

Maybe if we were all invisible, then we wouldn't be able to judge one another by appearance. But then, going through revolving doors would be a bitch.

If Dracula can't see himself in the mirror, how does he comb his hair so straight?

It's 175 degrees outside and the heat index is ONE THOUSAND DEGREES!! My car is melting in the driveway

I think Keith and Laurie Partridge acted more like they were married than like they were siblings

It seems self-defeating to sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts to benefit the American Heart Association. It's like selling Girl Scout Cookies to raise money for diabetes.

You can say what you want, but at the end of the day, it's night time

I bet it would be easy to get dates using the Force, because all you'd have to do is go up to some babe and say "I am the guy you're looking for....you want to go out with me..."

I bet the vampires on Twilight could totally defeat the werewolves, if they would just arm themselves with rolled-up newspapers

There's plenty of fish in the freezer

It's so hot that today I went to a track meet and everyone was walking

So this chick shot me down, and I thought It's her loss, right? And then I thought, it's my loss too though. And then I thought, Shut up. And then I thought, You shut up! And then I thought, wow, she doesn't know what she's missing...

I went to get my fortune read, and the old woman warned me that, one day very soon, I would face the greatest test of my life....and though I remain skeptical, I still carry around two sharpened number two pencils, just in case...

Maybe it's true that there is no God, but I'd rather serve an imaginary God and bring whatever joy I could into the world, than to live in misery without hope. And maybe it's true that life and the universe only have whatever meanings we assign to them, but that's a far cry from saying that they have no meaning at all.

If I was Batman and I had to fight Catwoman, I would just carry around a big vacuum cleaner, because there's nothing cats are scared of more than vacuum cleaners

My favorite part of Avatar was at the end when he was hurt in that explosion, and she took him in her arms, and he said "I see you" and she said "I see you" and he said, "No....ICU! I need to go to the hospital!" and she was all, "Dude..."

The best advice I ever gave was "Learn to let go," to my friend, who dealt with childhood trauma. Coincidentally, this was also the worst advice I ever gave, to my other friend, a trapeze artist.

The nurse explained to my wife that it was perfectly safe to breastfeed the baby on either side, though there were primitive tribes where the women only breastfed on one side, because they always rowed their canoes on the other side. I asked if these were the tribes of women who rowed around in circles all the time.

I'm really starting to worry, I think I'm being stalked...this woman keeps calling me and telling me all the things she wants to do to me, I can't sleep, I stay up all night and now I'm starting to think she's never going to show up...

If I date a woman in her 20s they say I'm a cradle robber, so if I date someone in her 60s does that make me a grave robber?

If I try to bribe John McEnroe, is that Tennis Racketeering?

If I was going to market instant noodles to Mexicans, I would call it Que Pasta?

If I go to bed right now I can get another hour sleep

Wonder Woman has changed her costume ONCE in 80 years, and people are upset about it? I know women who won't wear the same outfit more than once.

God made us imperfect, in an imperfect world, not to delight in our suffering but to delight in our continued triumph over suffering; not so that we wouldn't know joy but so that we would continually find our own joy; and not so that we wouldn't understand Him but so that we would choose Him every day

Everyone is on their own path, and has to make their own choices. Sometimes we don't get to choose between right and wrong; we only get bad and worse. There will always be those who judge you afterwards. Ignore them. Do the best you can, and don't look back.

People keep asking me where do I come up with all the stuff I post here. It's all in my brain.

If I owned a landscaping business, I would call it Lawn Order. And I would drive around in a Bronco and call it my Lawn Order: SUV. And every summer I would sponsor a camping trip for paroled juvenile offenders and call it Lawn Order: Criminals In Tents

Whenever I read the Bible, I always picture the Apostle Paul as Harrison Ford in Bladerunner. Is it just me?

I asked her, and she says that she never said any of those things.

You're selfish, impatient and a little insecure. You make mistakes, you're out of control and at times hard to handle. In fact, I'm not even sure why I'm talking to you. Take care...

I'll help anyone out, I'll listen to anyone's problems, I'll offer advice if it's asked for, but I won't waste time with people who don't want to be helped, whose problems have become a part of their identity, or live in denial and congratulate themselves for how much they care

Miley Cyrus doesn't look like she can't be tamed. In fact, I bet if you just took away her money and all her expensive clothes, she would have a hissy fit.

Whenever I see a status that says if I "like" your status, you'll post something on my wall, I will click it every single time. Because I don't have to do anything, and people will say nice things about me.

There's a new medication you can take to help with your paranoia. But don't take it. That's just what they want you to do.

If "The Blues" is music you play when you're sad, why isn't there a musical style called "The Reds" to play when you're angry?

Why is it that chicks will never date the dudes that they tell all their problems to, but they always fall in love with their therapists?

If someone really did sing Polly Wolly Doodle all the day, it would annoy the crap out of me

Just because I don't post all my deep inner feelings on FB doesn't mean I don't have them. I'm not a FREAKIN' ROBOT ya'll!!!!

In America, if you kill someone, that's murder. You will get in big big trouble.

If someone really hates you, I've always found the best course to take is to forgive them, no matter what they do or say, no matter how bitter and angry they are, just say "I forgive you." You will have a peace in your heart, and it will drive them crazy.

Someone just asked me if I was watching the U.S. Open?? When did it close??

Why do people write LOL on stuff that's not funny, like "My dog just woke up LOL"....?

If there is a wax museum statue of Joan Rivers, I bet it looks just like her. Because she kind of looks like a wax museum statue

I don't know whether I agree with Glen Beck or not, because every time he starts crying I tune him out.

Whoever wrote that song "Easy Like SUnday Morning" never had a really good Saturday night.

Whenever I go to weddings, when they get to the part where the preacher says "Speak now or forever hold your peace" I like to stand up and scream "That man is the Jackal, and he must DIE!!" It shocks people, but trust me, later on, everyone will get a big laugh out of it.

Sometimes people will tell me deeply personal things at inappropriate times and I think, if they're kidding it's REALLY not funny, and if they're not kidding they're probably mentally ill, so the only thing I can do is back away slowly and not make any sudden moves.

I wonder if Chelsea's new husband is counting on Bill giving him tips on how to pick up women

Whenever designers unveil new fashions, to me, they always look like the old fashions. And when automakers show their new models, they always look the same to me. Also, wine all tastes the same to me. I'm also pretty sure that, no matter what color they are, Froot Loops all taste the same.

I used to date a 911 dispatcher, but we broke up. She wouldn't let me call her unless it was an absolute emergency.

I had a telepathic girlfriend, but we broke up. She kept slapping my face for all the stuff I was thinking.

If I worked in a dental office, I would make up a sign that says "You Are The Master Of Your Own Dentistry"

There's no such thing as a little bit of freedom. We either have a free nation or not. We have freedom of religion or we don't. If you cherish your own freedom, you have to stand up for everyone's freedom.

I'm glad my parents got married when they did, because if they'd waited any longer, I would have been my little brother.

I'm not here

If aliens ever come to Earth, I hope they bring snacks

Someone's making a biography of Justin Bieber? Is it going to be, like, 10 minutes long?

At home I like to walk around in a speedo, blurting out random obscenities, just in case the government is spying on me through my TV set.

I love it when people use words wrong. I just got a voicemail that said "I'm going to be out of pocket for a few days". WTH does that mean? Is she going to be living off whatever cash she has on her for a few days? Is she a fugitive?

It really doesn't bother me that I have to press 1 for English, although I will start to worry when I have to start pressing 2 for English

‎....although technically shouldn't we press 1 for Apache?

If you ever go hunting and someone tries to make you feel bad by saying "How could you shoot Bambi?" Just remind them, it wasn't Bambi that got shot, it was Bambi's mom, and then laugh really loud.

If anyone thinks they have more humilty than I do, they better watch their backs

If you go to ask out some chick and she gets all sniffy and says she's not interested, just play it off like you thought she said something else, and say "That's ok, I'm kind of tired of dating girls who are interesting."

If someone comes to your door trying to convert you to their religion, invite them in to dinner and then go put on white gloves and then halfway through the meal, ask if their religion discriminates against people with leprosy

You know that part of the Grinch who stole Christmas when his heart grows three sizes? I always laugh at that part, because that's called cardiomegaly and it's usually fatal, and that bastard deserves it

I like to call up Herb Shops and ask if they carry dill weed

I think on my resume, under "Professional Accomplishments" I'm going to say "I'm undefeated" and let prospective employers guess what that means

Fine then! Be that way!

I wish that there was a political party who, when asked "What is the Federal Govt going to do about THIS problem or THAT thing?" had the courage to respond "Nothing, that's not the govt's job, we're going to let the states make up their minds about how to handle that" instead of "Why we'll spend billions of dollars on ...that problem and take care of it for you"

Today at lunch I went out to Wal Mart and bought some underwear

A lot of people don't know this, but the song "Take On Me" by A-Ha has two additional verses that only dogs can hear

It's good to have goals. Unless you're a goalie in hockey, then it's good not to have goals. Don't get those two mixed up.

I believe that everyone should constantly strive to better themselves, challenge their preconceptions, learn, and grow. Except me.

I adopted a dog once but every time she looked at me I could tell she was thinking, "You're not my real dad!"

Someone just called me a Liberal, for the first time in my life ever.

So I'm like sitting there at work today and the phone rings and it's this dude and he's like "Dude!" and I'm all, "Dude?" and he's like "Duuuuude..." and I'm all, *click*

The preacher said that if you put a frog in a pot of water and gradually turn the heat up, the frog will adjust to the temperature until it gets boiled alive. I told him, that's how we are, when we tolerate what we know is wrong...like putting a frog in pot of water and boiling it alive, you sick freak!!

I read today that one in four children in the Atlanta area will grow up speaking only Spanish in their homes. Thank God I only have two kids, because I wouldn't want to have to learn Spanish just to talk to my own kid.

Don't fall in love with me, kid. I'm poison, I tell ya! Poison!

I just realized that Amy Grant's "Oh How The Years Go By" and Sarah McClachlan's "I Will Remember You" is the exact same song. I'm secure enough in my own sexuality to make that observation

If you believe in yourself you can do anything. Unless you're crazy and believe you can fly or something like that.

If you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything within reason

I don't believe in teaching children unhealthy eating habits, so at my house we sing "Pump Up The Unsweetened Fruit Spread"

Today I saw a deer wander through my backyard, a beam of sunlight bathing its delicate features, and said a small prayer of thanks for all of God's quiet beauty and grace. Just before I shot it.

Indy and I watched all the Back To The Future movies, and since Hallmark Channel has stopped showing repeats of The Partridge Family, I am Netflixing all four seasons. So today I am vegging and tomorrow hiking with Indy Schieber, Jorge and Lauren Kelsi Fernandez-ware and who knows who all else

I would have made a horrible cop, because all my stories would end the same way, "....and so that's when I shot him."

I fell asleep while I was watching Law & Order, and someone said "Freeze, Police" but in my sleep I thought they said "French Police". The funny thing about that is that Law & Order doesn't take place in France, but New York.

To be or not to be. Those are your choices.

If God was something that we just imagined, or that man made up in his own head, then I would wonder how it is that we have the ability to even imagine such a Thing. And if we are only the physical, matter and energy and time and space, how is it that we can imagine Something beyond that which we can see?

My son said he wants to go to Georgia Tech and become an engineer, but I'm trying to discourage that, because I don't think he'll be happy driving trains around for the rest of his life

In the South we should have the Sweet Tea Party

In the future, if there are places where you can go rent time machines, I think what I'll do is rent it, go back to wherever I wanted to go, and then bring the time machine back to the exact same time that I left, and get my money back.

I think gay divorces will be extra difficult, because in addition to everything else, they'll have to divide up their clothes

This morning I woke up at 05:06:07 08/09/10

The road to hell is paved with Good 'N Plenty

Congress is debating a law that would require women to shake their hips and belly dance. I knew it was only a matter of time before Shakira Law came to the United States

To hear the protestors in downtown Atlanta, you would think that Prop 8 was doing away with heterosexual marriage, all over the world, and that straight people wouldn't be allowed to have children anymore

I think the worst part of being a deer would be getting shot by hunters, and having no one do anything about it. I wonder, if deer begin to evolve, will there be deer police who investigate all the shootings in the forest, and will they come to a hunter's house and be like, "We just need to ask you a few questions. Wha...t's in that barbecue?" DEER POLICE!!

Why doesn't country music have horns?

You know how circuses get a bad rap for mistreating their animals? I bet they could really reform their image, not by treating animals better, but by mistreating their clowns, too

I believe it was Albert Einstein who said "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with monkeys on roller blades carrying flamethrowers, and midgets with jetpacks on the moon." I believe he said this in his much later years.

The worst day of my life was when my wife caught me cheating. She screamed and cried, I cried and begged her to forgive me, but the trust was gone and nothing was ever the same after that. Now, looking back, I still regret it, although I think we took our games of Monopoly a little too seriously

Got the first season of "The Partridge Family" on Netflix, and one of the extras is an episode of the Saturday morning "Partridge Family 2200 ad". Reuben and Keith look and sound NOTHING like they do in real life. And the cartoon sucks. Bad 70's drugs, no one noticed.

I challenge you to name ONE SINGLE MOVIE that wouldn't be improved by adding Klingons

Kids threw clean laundry on the floor, wet laundry back in the hamper, and then said I was making a big deal out of nothing. Kids are wearing wet, wrinkled clothes the rest of the week. No big deal I guess.

Once there was a child who endured great hardships and tragedies, but despite all of his setbacks, he persevered. And do you know who that child was? An important historical figure whose name you instantly recognize.

Life is not measured by how may breaths you take, but by how many time you have the breath knocked out of you

I don't always live life to the fullest but most days I live life to the half-fullest

Always think positive. Unless you're getting a drug test.

If there were such a thing as dog philosophers, I bet they would forever ponder the eternal question, "Who's a good boy?"

Nothing more frustrating than sitting in traffic, not moving, while cars pass you on both sides. How does that even happen?

Thats great it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes and airplanes, Lenny Bruce is not afraid...

I used to like to rock and roll all night, and party every day. But now I like to rock and roll from 6:00 pm until about 9:30, and then settle down with a good book, and party twice a month in a more controlled environment.

Just to let everyone know, there is a mobile No Drama Zone in a ten-foot circumference around me wherever I go. Please try to respect it.

Sometimes it amazes me how much time I have to devote to talking about things that I don't give a crap about with people who don't know anything

Indy is going to his first Middle School dance tonight. If he has any dancing genes, let's hope he didn't get them from me.

After listening to both Democrats and Republicans talk about the economy, the deficit, and unemployment, I've come to one solid conclusion: Somebody's lying.

Every year I have to sign 1000 papers for the kids' school and they all ask for emergency contact information. Am I the only one who knows you're supposed to call 911? Duh!

There is nothing more humbling than spending a few hours talking to and helping people in need

All of the laundry hampers in my house are overflowing with dirty laundry. I have to go out today and get some more hampers.

Whenever I see a sign that says "Caution - Children Playing" I just keep on going, because I'm not afraid of children

Instead of sad songs and prayers and everyone dressed in black, I think at funerals we should have cheerleaders and marching bands and midgets doing somersaults and guys on stilts in Uncle Sam costumes, confetti and fireworks and kegs of beer. Who's with me?

Do not walk behind me, for you may not be able to keep up. Do not walk in front of me, for my brakes may not work.

Whoever it was who called my cell phone last night and left a voicemail that said "Hi, it's me"....? I don't even have your number programmed into my phone, so I don't know who you are. Let's stick to first names for now.

I wonder if Wilma ever gets mad at Fred for taking her for granite

I just voted on a name for the new baby giraffe at Zoo Atlanta. My choice? Reginald Longneck Von Snugglepants III

When you kick an anthill and thousands of ants run all over the place stepping on each other, why don't you ever see two ants bonk their heads together and get knocked unconscious? For that matter, why don't you ever see two mosquitos collide in mid-air and then plummet to their deaths?

The only job I can think of that would be worse than Homeless Crack-Addicted Panhandler, is Assistant Homeless Crack-Addicted Panhandler

I think Billy Idol should make a Christmas album and call it "Dancing With My Elves"

I had a weird dream last night about cats

If I ever go on a reality show, I WILL be there to make friends

If I ever go to prison, I won't join a violent gang; instead, I'll start my own gang of nice people, and instead of shanking other prisoners we'll pat them on the back, and instead of riots we'll stage bake sales, and we'll all get happy face tattoos, and our motto will be "Check that frown at the cell door before you ...enter general population, buster brown!"

Almost every conflict arises not from violent intent or even ignorance, but from the human tendency to value one's own opinions and beliefs above everyone else's

When I observe someone who is not demonstrating universal love and compassion in a non-judgmental way, I automatically look for a big rock to throw at them

How come there is no such thing as a formal suit that has short sleeves?

On Scooby Doo, when they find out who it was dressing up like a monster to scare people away, and the police come to arrest him, what do they charge him with? Is it against the law to dress up like a monster and scare people?

If someone gave me a box with a button on it, and said that every time I pressed the button I would get a million dollars but someone I didn't know would die, I'm not sure what I would do. But one thing is for sure, I would build a huge memorial to the 90 people who died that first day.

There is a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center opening in Barrow County next month, three miles from where I live. I'm stunned.

On the top of my list of things that are awesome, gigantic water slides, disco balls, and robots. In that order.

The Heat has killed hundreds of people this past summer. No wonder they're the most hated team in the NBA.

For some reason, the last week or so of my life has been almost completely drama-free

When you look at a list of ingredients and it says "Natural And Artificial Flavors" it might just as well say "stuff"

I've often thought that if shrimp lived on land, we would call them bugs and they would creep us out.

If I could have anything I wanted, I wouldn't want more possesions, unless you count hot twenty-year old slave girls in skimpy harem costumes feeding me grapes as "possesions"

I just saw a grocery store sign selling "ANUS BEEF".....Geez, I know times are tough, but seriously?

HOW TO ARGUE: If you make a point, it's crucial; if I make a point, I'm "splitting hairs". If your opinion is popular, that's proof of how right you are; if my opinion is popular, then I'm a mindless sheep. If you don't agree with me, it's because you're an independent thinker; if I don't agree with you, I'm close-minded.

She told me she would always be there for me, but she didn't tell me where she was

God never gives you more than you can spend

Sometimes I think Q is too far towards the middle of the alphabet, and that it should be closer to the end along with the other oddball letters, V, X and Z. Q shouldn't be hanging out with P or N.

God never gives you more than you can bitch about

Sometimes I wonder if fleas fight over which part of the dog they get to live on

If WIlliam Ling built his own free-standing office with a clock on the face of it, to house his collection agency in Billings, Montana, then every day you would hear Bill Ling's Billings Billing Building Bell Ding (Thanks to Chris R. Owen for most of that)

My son thought that Crime & Punishment was written by Warren Peace. It would be funny if he didn't really think that.

I've run out of things to say

I think there should be a Miss Universe and a Mr. Universe every year, and that they should be shot out in some random direction into outer space. That way, if the earth ever explodes, there's a chance that humans will survive. And they'll be AWESOME!!!

Some days you're the captain, and some days you're that red-shirted ensign who gets killed before the first commercial

If I was a psychiatrist and I had to diagnose a violent psychopath, to him I would say, "You're a violent psychopath...But in a good way" because I believe in making people feel good about themselves.

At one point in High School I was so far behind, that my senior year I took a course that was actually called "Math And Junk Like That"

If I was a secret agent like James Bond, I wouldn't want a car that shoots oil slicks or darts, if I was in a high-speed chase I would want a device that made people think blind old ladies with baby strollers were crossing the street in front of them. That would slow them down, or at least make them feel guilty the rest of their lives.

I wonder if all the executives at Disney are given special training in what to do if you magically switch bodies with another person? Because I'm guessing it happens all the time at Disney.

I wonder if anyone's ever thought of using medicinal marijuana to treat eating disorders

He told me his problem was, he only wanted women he couldn't have. I said, that would seem to leave the field wide open.

If I was a woman, and I was looking for a make-up artist, I think I would look for the least attractive one I could find, because it seems like those would be the ones who would really have to get the most out of their make-up

Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you."

If Jesus walked on water, will the Anti-Christ swim in dirt?

If Leatherface had been Amish, we would have had The Texas Handsaw Massacre

I bet its really really bad when the Silver Surfer wipes out

I think a good movie would be one about a serial killer who targets people over 100. But he doesn't use any weapons, he just goes home and waits.

Volunteering this morning, taking Quinn to the dentist, then home to clean the house and chill out. This is my life now.

Someone told me this weekend that my problem is (and take note, I LOVE people telling me what my problem is) that I'm so nice, I expect everyone will be nice, and people usually aren't. I don't know what to do with that.

If they made an Amish version of "The Electric Company", I bet they would just call it "The"

The question that owl teachers get asked the most at parent-teacher conferences: "How's my kid doing, wise-wise?"

If there were aliens with 100 fingers and toes, I bet they would be really great at math, but their version of Sesame Street would be all "Sesame Street was brought to you today by the letter B, and by the inverse coeffecient of the square root of pi as it bisects the trilateral angle in this geometric configuration..."

I bet elephants are really angry and depressed. You know, because they never forget.

When people come to America from other countries and they don't learn our language and they don't learn our customs, and they still dress like they did before and they don't change their religion or the foods that they eat, it doesn't really affect me one way or the other, so I don't care

They say that right before he was assasinated, Abraham Lincoln dreamed that he died. To me, the most amazing thing about that is, he didn't have that dream every night.

I'm not really all that nice

I'm so tired that I could have sworn I just heard Stevie Wonder singing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Up Yours!"

Went to a bird show at Calloway Gardens, and the instructor brought out an owl. She said the owl came to them after it got hit by a car and they nursed it back to health, and then she went on about how fast it could fly, how sharp its talons were, and how great its eyesight was. When she asked for questions, I raised m...y hand and said "Can that owl not see cars coming right at it?"

Have you ever noticed that the louder and more obnoxious a person is, the more interesting they think they are to other people?

My friends are so redneck, they won't go see a Foreigner concert. They wanted to know what's wrong with going to an AMERICAN concert?!

More and more I see people posting pictures of themselves sticking their tongues out, and I don't think it's attractive. I blame Gene Simmons.

If anyone ever tries to take me hostage, I think what I'll do is, I'll pretend that I'm taking THEM hostage, and see how they like it.

If I'm ever on an airplane and have a heart attack or something, and the crew has to ask if there's a doctor onboard, I hope it wouldn't be the super villian Doctor Doom. It doesn't seem like he would be much help.

I fear for my children, but not for my children's children, because I don't believe that children should be having children

There's nothing sadder than an elephant sitting in a bar drinking, and trying to forget

You can live in harmony with others and accept your place in the universe, or you can live in competetion with others and try to be the best and have the most. One way leads to peace, the other to conflict and frustration. You choose.

I'm not getting all high and mighty. I already am all high and mighty.

If all the trust has gone out of your relationship, I suggest you try being honest and sincere. Trust me, she'll totally buy it.

What if there really are such things as "soul mates", but your soul mate lives in another galaxy and you live in a society that has yet to master intergalactic travel? What then? You're screwed, I guess.

If you're a cop working undercover at an underwear factory, be careful when your boss says it's time for your debriefing

I always tell my kids, Don't give up. They tell me to stop saying it, but I can't, because that would be giving up.

I'm all for tax cuts for the wealthy, because wealthy people have enough money to buy laser weapons and hunt us all down for sport, and I don't want to do anything to get them mad.

When Mark David Chapman was being interviewed by his parole board, I bet they just kept asking him how does he feel about Paul McCartney

If Somali pirates ever raid a cruise ship full of nudists, I bet the first demand they make is for a ton of Lysol to wipe everything down

I bet there's no crime in a nudist colony, because where would you conceal a weapon?

You don't really hear much about alien abductions anymore, and I think that's because the "Tag and Release" Phase of their plot to take over the earth is complete

I'm joining a group to raise awareness of Peer Pressure. I don't want to, but everyone else is telling me I should.

I keep believing that things will eventually get better

A candle's flame is not diminished by lighting another. Rather, light and warmth grow. So it is with wisdom, and joy, and enlightment. When you give of yourself, you lose nothing.

Shape clay into a vessel; It is the space within that gives it value. Place doors and windows in a house; it is the opening that brings light within. Set spokes within a wheel; it is the emptiness of the hub that makes them useful. Therefore, be the space at the center: Be as nothing, give no thought to self, and you will have everything to give to others.

When I go to the bank and they're rude at the drive through and then they're like "HAve a nice day," I like to jam wet paper towels in the pneumatic tube and then hit send and be all "Have a nice day!" and then drive off.

Why don't police cars have guns mounted on them like tanks?

If I ever move into a haunted house, I would leave my television playing a Victoria's Secret DVD, just in case I ever get sucked into the TV by otherwordly demons like on Poltergeist

Whenever someone tells me they're a Vegan, I never believe them, because Vega is 26 light years away and it would probably take a long time to get here from there

Whenever a headhunter calls me to talk about placement, the first thing I ask is if they're a human resource professional trying to recruit me, or if they're an actual headhunting cannibal who wants to shrink my head and put it on a keychain, because, damn, how embarrassing would that be?

I think we should have a National Day set aside to honor the guy who invented the long orange extension cord

I read that that weird girl Snooki from Jersey Shore got fined for being annoying? If that's a crime now, I expect to see a lot more celebrities showing up on America's Most Wanted

I'm ready to settle down

Most people who want to go out and get wasted, don't want to go to a place where everyone knows their name

Things just haven't been the same since they stopped making lawn darts

I think we as a society should learn to put aside all our political and religious differences, and just go back to hating clowns and lawyers

Feeling stressed and kind of down today. I really need a hug. Preferably from someone hot. And no dudes, or family members.

Will you marry me?

Bind yourself to nothing, seek harmony with all. Then you will be truly free

You can't keep a good man down. Especially if he's on a trampoline.

If there was a device that could translate dog's barking into English, I bet the two most-used phrases in Dog Language would be "Hey! This is AWESOME!!" and "Hey! I'm going to attack you!"

Police in Barrow County recently apprehended a pickpocket with leprosy, after they received an anonymous tip

Whenever I see a small kitten purring and looking up at me with his big, playful eyes, my heart almost melts for a second, but then I wonder if that's just the emotional reaction he wants, so that I won't suspect he's secretly planning to horrifically murder me in my sleep

I say we amend the U.S. Constitution to guarantee our right to carry Lawn Darts. They can have my Lawn Darts when they pry them from my cold, dead hands

If aliens ever came to earth and wanted to understand humanity, or asked why should they not destroy us, I would give them the first three seasons of Cheers on DVD

My friend Susanna is having Chicken Mole for dinner. I didn't know there was such a thing as a chicken mole. Does it lay eggs? Does it live underground? Weird.

Cling to what you know to be true, and not how you feel about it. Human emotion is like the shifting sands beneath your feet, but Truth and Grace are solid and unchanging. Stand on these, and endure.

If I was King of England, the first thing I would do is stop knighting old people, and only knight people who could survive three minutes in a cage match with Danny Bonaduce

In the Temple of Doom, you're enslaved by having your heart removed in a brief ceremonial ritual, and then you're forced to labor thanklessly for the rest of your life. It's just like marriage.

If I could rule the world, I don't think I would, because I bet ruling the world is a pain in the ass.

Underneath your harsh exterior, there lurks a heart of stone

In the future I imagine, instead of teaching about Keats and Dickens and Proust, we'll have stodgy college professors teaching courses on Springstein and Bob Seger and Jackson Browne.

Kill them with kindness, but always make sure they're really dead

If I ever get nominated to run for President, as my running mate I would choose an inflatable Spider-Man, just to keep the Secret Service on their toes.

If an evil man ever finds an evil jeannie and wishes he could rule all the planets of the solar system, I bet the people on Pluto would laugh and laugh, because they would be free to launch a resistance movement against all the other planets

If eating utensils ever had to choose a king, I'm pretty sure it would be the spork. Because all of the sporks would choose it, and at least some of the forks and some of the spoons.

If someone married three women at the same time, isn't that trigamy?

I've been released from the Disney vault for a limited time

So I got in the car, put on my seatbelt and backed out of the driveway when I heard a noise and wondered how long it would take me to get out of the car if there was a family of angry, rabid possums in my backseat. Probably less if I didn't have to wear my seatbelt! Thanks a LOT, lawmakers!

If I was going to be executed and they asked what I wanted for my last meal, I would ask for Frankenberry cereal, a McRib Sandwich and a Shamrock shake. There's no way that all three of them would be available at the same time.

So this chick dumps me, and then hooks up with this other guy and then dumps him, and then hooks up with this other guy, and now they're getting married, and I'm yesterday's leftovers, I guess.

The Spiritual person is concerned with his own conduct and the well-being of others; the Religious person is concerned with his own well-being and the conduct of others

My last girlfriend left me because she got tired of all the PDA - My Public Displays of AWESOME!!!

Fall is officially here. This morning I stopped at the QT to get gas, and got a bottle of Sierra Mist Diet Cranberry Splash.

To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful poem, one that captures all of the grace and beauty in creation. Also, being read by a bikini model, who is serving me beer.

I have this theory that during caveman days, aliens not only visited the earth, but taught ancient man how to build houses, establish cities, train animals to open cans and live inside cameras and be needles on their record players, and build cars that they could start and stop by sticking their feet through the floor.

Someone told me about this speed-dating thing where you sit down with a woman and you have just three minutes to impress her before she gets up and leaves? That's how all my dates go.

Contrary to what you may have been told, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the tiger or the elephant or the rattlesnake. It's a hundred butterflies with razorblades glued to their wings.

If I ran a funeral parlor in Egypt, I think a funny joke would be to tell people who were planning funerals for their loved ones that gift wrapping was extra. You know, because of the mummy thing.

First of all, I am 100% against animal fighting of any kind. But if people staged parrot fights, I bet it would be fun to teach them to trash talk each other before the fights started.

If I was a judge, I would always keep a parrot in the courtroom with me. And just for a joke, I would train it to say "GUILTY!" whenever the defendant's name was mentioned.

Set you mind and your heart on God and seek Him in all things and in all ways. Everything else will take care of itself.

My dream is to one day drive a go-cart across the country to raise awareness of the fact that, if people donate enough money, you can accomplish anything. Like riding a go cart across the country.

I just got an email from the company that I want to work for, telling me that there is a position available that I am qualified for. So I applied online. Let's all pray that I get it.

Fourteen years ago today I was standing in the delivery room looking down at my little boy. I don't remember what I thought life would be like but I know it hasn't turned out anything like what I might have been expecting that day. Happy Birthday, I love you Quinn!

I remember the day Quinn was born, and how I wanted to get it all on video to remember it by, but I couldn't get Kathy to hold the camera steady

Whenever anyone asks me what kind of music I like, I always say "Pretty much everything....except WHATEVER MY KIDS LISTEN TO!"

Bugs are always trying to eat us, but since they're so small they can only eat little bits at a time. I wonder if, when bugs dream, they dream of swallowing people whole.

I went on a tour of a primate research center on Saturday. I noticed that the monkeys all had playground equipment in their habitats. I guess that's why they call them Recess Monkeys.

Relationships are worth fighting for, but not if you're fighting with guns and ninja throwing stars

Why are there no professional psychics to speak to deaf dead people in sign language?

If it's true that life only has whatever meaning we assign it, that's no reason to give up. On the contrary, it means that that is our highest calling, and our most noble purpose.

It seems like, if you're convicted of larceny, you should be called a larcenist

If you cut off a starfish's leg, not only will the starfish grow a new leg, but the leg will grow into a whole new starfish. That's why I'm glad they're not evil.

One of the hardest things about kickboxing, I imagine, is getting kicked in the mouth. Because that's another dude's foot, and now it's on your mouth.

A woman needs constant reassurance that she is loved, and that she is the most important part of your life, and that you would do anything for her. But not a random woman you meet on the street, who you don't even know.

Whenever I hear someone say "I wish it would stop raining" or "I wish it was Friday", I always think, if somehow you got to make one wish and that was what you wasted it on, you would feel really stupid. So whenever I wish it was Friday, or that it would stop raining, out loud I always say "I wish I had unlimited wealth, and absolute power over every living being in the entire universe."

I wonder if Yoda has to ride in a car seat

My cousin Dennis told me that when a horse breaks its leg, they usually shoot it. But I don't think it helps. I think the horse usually dies.

Took the afternoon off to spend with Quinn and we spent 3 hours cleaning the house. Now both kids are out and I have a whole night to myself - what am I doing? Laundry! It's official. I have no life.

You know how a stage magician will put his assistant in a box and then stick swords all in it, and then the assistant emerges unhurt? It would be more convincing if you heard the assistant screaming, and had blood come spurting out each time he stuck in a sword, and then at the end it would be like "TA DAH!"

I'm all for raising awareness of Breast Cancer, but let's all try to be a little more positive and just raise awareness of breasts

Every time you see a clown, he's either really happy or really sad. What I'd like to see is a clown that just doesn't know what the hell is going on, or maybe an angry clown with giant teeth

For me, the hardest part of living in China would be having all the change fall out of your pocket, because everything is upside-down

Happy Birthday to John Lennon, the visionary who taught the world that all you need is love, even though technically that's not true, you also need food, shelter and clothing

I'm not afraid of bees. If bees ever attack me, I'll punch them all in the face.

When things get stressful, I close my eyes and imagine myself in a peaceful meadow, and I'm really drunk

You don't even care, do you?

If the earth was invisible, and we could look straight through and see the people in China and Australia, would we be so quick to want to bomb them? Probably not

My sister was driving around looking for her dog who'd gotten out, and her two year old in the back seat said "Where is that damn dog?" Patti said, "No, say 'darn'" and so Cammie said "Darn, where is that damn dog?"

Here's how tired I am: The alarm went off at 4am as usual, and every time I hit the snooze button I imagined that the number 4 was a troll that I kept chasing away

Is there a song that's sadder than "Tuesday's Gone"?

The time to procrastinate is now!

Nothing can beat a military career to teach a man about courage, honor, and duty. I said duty. Heh.

At the height of her career in the mid-sixties, Lassie was paid in excess of $1000 per half hour television episode. That's over $7200 in doggie dollars.

The only person whose opinion matters about gays in the military should be Dick Armey. Get it? Dick Armey? No? Carry on then

I just saw a Law & Order promo that said the detectives suspect foul play when a surfer is murdered. Doesn't murder always mean foul play? I thought that's what the word means.

I'm updating my resume to include a section on BEING FREAKIN' AWESOME!!

There comes a time in every person's life when the cold light of reason has failed, the storms of passion have abated, and there's nothing left to do but freak out

Why are obsessive personalities always neat freaks? How come you never hear of a person being obsessively sloppy?

I honestly believe that if God appeared to us, the one message He would want to convey to all of mankind would be "Just chill out"

Pandora is playing "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" and it kind of reminds me of my ex-wife

I hate cockroaches, and I'm pretty sure that cockroaches hate themselves too, because every time you turn on a light, they run away

...And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 KJV)

If you get in a fight with a Klingon, you have to kill him, because that's how Klingons are

Indy went outside with two of his friends, and came right back in because they were starting to do stuff that was stupid and dangerous. So apparently, some traits aren't inheirited

How many times have I run over squirrels before I moved here? None. Since I came to Barrow Co?? Five!! Even the squirrels in Barrow don't seem to really get it.

The message of the Gospel is that God's love is eternal, that He accepts us as we are, and that all we have to do is accept God's grace. That we've managed to corrupt this message, into one of intolerance and judgment, is one of the great tragedies of history.

A good magic trick would be for an assistant to climb into a basket, and the magician starts sticking swords into it at all these different angles, and every time he does, the assistant screams and blood comes spurting out, and then someone in the audience screams and call the cops, and they come in with their guns drawn and shoot the magician, and then in the end everyone goes "Ta Dah!"

If someone ever travels back in time and gets stuck there, I think a good thing for them to do is to start selling antiques. Because not only would antiques be everywhere, but they'd be in perfect condition. Think about that. I just blew your freakin' mind, didn't I?

You would think that a woman would be flattered if a guy raved on and on about how hot her identical twin sister is, but you'd be wrong

Every time I watch Chuck, I wonder if spies really go around using the word "spy" all the time?

If there's something that people refer to as cheese that isn't really cheese, it's always something gross

Sometimes, as I go through my life, I kind of feel like Jane Goodall living among the apes, trying to figure out why the hell they do the stupid crap they do. This is especially true when people start talking politics.

We get mad at God because we don't think we get everything we deserve, when we should be thanking Him every day that we're not getting what we deserve

Young people always ask, "How do you know when you're really in love?" and "How could you tell that she was really the one for you?" but no one ever asks "How do you know when you really, truly hate someone?"

Street mimes are always pretending to run against a strong wind, or be shut up inside a box, or sew their fingers together, but what I would really like to see one do is jump off a building. For pretend, I mean, of course.

God doesn't require the past of you; He only asks for today. God doesn't promise you the future; He promises His eternal favor. Eternity is not some far-off, hypothetical place with harps and wings: It's right now, it's where you've invested your heart and your hope. Choose well, and be awesome.

In another twenty minutes it'll be 10/20 2010 10:20

I just ordered new checks. I feel like I've kind of outgrown the Superman checks I got last time. I wanted something a little more sophisticated. So I got Batman this time.

If I ever ran for office, and my opponent tried to characterize me as "crazy", I would point out that the word "crazy" is so subjective as to be meaningless, and that my opponent is so obviously trying to evoke an emotional response from the voting public without providing clear alternatives, that it calls into question his or her ability to effectively govern. And then I would be like "In your face, BEE-YOTCH!"

I think the only real progress any society has ever made has started with inclusion, when we learn to stop thinking in terms of "Us" and "Them". This is the root of virtually every conflict, that we don't think in terms of everyone being in the same boat, facing the same issues, deserving the same rights, having the same responsibilities.

Kathy sent Quinn a box full of brand new clothes yesterday. He was excited until he realized that none of them fit, and then he found a note in the bottom that said "These probably won't fit you, since I bought them a year ago." Mother of the Year!!

The best advice I ever gave was to my friend, who was going through a divorce, when I told him to just let go. Coincidentally, this is also the worst advice I ever gave, to my other friend, an industrial window washer.

I saw a part of Miley Cyrus's new video "Who Owns My Heart?" and for those who are wondering, the answer is, "Just any random old dude who happens to be at the club"

In addition to the stuff with Quinn and the "Don't" Care Package his mom sent him, today someone stole $20 from me, the phone bill came in $40 over what it was supposed to be, and someone jammed a piece of glass in the keyhole on my front door so my kids were locked out of the house.

Today I have a parent-teacher conference with two of Quinn's teachers. I have nothing else to say.

If anyone ever asks me what to take for a hangover, I'm going to tell them to take a whole bunch of alcohol right before bedtime

Today Quinn missed the bus and had to walk to school. When he complained about having to walk the six miles, I almost told him "When I was your age I walked twice that far every day and I LIKED it!"

I bet Clark Kent would do really well at the "Guess What Color Panties You're Wearing" Booth at the County Fair

Do non-Spanish speaking people realize that the words to the Santana classic "Oye Como Va" just mean "Hey How's It Going?" in English?

They say if you go to prison, you need to find the toughest guy in there and just go up and stab him, and that way no one will mess with you. But if I ever go to prison, I think what I'll do is, find the toughest guy and make some horribly sarcastic remark that leaves him reduced to a sobbing mess of tears and self-recrimination.

Whenever I see a sign that says "Caution - Children Playing" I just keep driving, because I'm not afraid of children. Except for those babies with bat wings and really sharp teeth that come down my chimney at night.

When I was a kid and we would go on vacation, I was always afraid that hobos would move into our house while we were gone, and when we got home we would find them gathered around a big metal barrel with a fire burning in it in the middle of our living room. Now of course, I know, it was hobophobia.

Some songs really make you think, and some songs just make you sad, but I don't know of any songs that make you just think you're sad

If I was a chicken who wanted to fly, I would climb up a mountain and jump off. I might not make it, but it'd be better than waiting for someone to chop my head off.

You know those things that look like sand dollars with long tentacles that fly through the air screeching and attach to your body and suck all the life from you til you're an alien zombie? What are those things?

What would be an awesome natural wonder is if someone figured out how to combine quicksand with one of those geysers, so like, some teenage adventurer is out in the jungle with his scientist dad, and the dad slowly sinks into the quicksand and the whole adventure team is sitting there crying, and *BLAM!!* his body comes flying up out of the quicksand! AWESOME!!

Ladies, if you're dating a guy who's afraid of commitment, you should dress up in a bride dress if you really want to freak him out for Halloween

When someone tells you something that you've done wrong, whether its at work or at home, if you've offended someone or angered them or just hurt their feelings, a good thing to do is listen patiently, and then when they're finished, pat them on the shoulder and say "No need to apologize, of course I forgive you" and then walk away

I've never watched Glee and probably never will, unless they do an episode of all songs by the Sex Pistols

I've run out of words

I have a paralyzing fear of intimacy. That's what I'm dressing up as for Halloween.

When you wear those HD sunglasses, things look so much more clear that its like they're right there in front of you

For the first time in my life, I feel like it doesn't matter whether I vote or not. All of the candidates seem really good at attacking and blaming, but no one seems to have a clear direction. Republicans used to stand for smaller gov't, but that doesn't seem to be true anymore. And the Dems seem intent on selling us out to China and making our great-grandchildren pick up the bill. What's the point?

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you, I know you were right, believing for so long! I'm all out of love, what am I without you! It can't be too late to say that I was so wrong!

I'm not going to vote and for the next four years I am going to complain that there is no one worth voting for.

Have you ever noticed that when you criticize someone's candidate, they immediately criticize yours? Say, "Obama hasn't accomplished anything" and they say "Bush didn't either!" Or you say "Bush was the worst" and they say "He was better than Obama"...it just goes that way forever...

When a woman talks about how much pressure society puts on them to get married or have children or be succesful, usually by "society" she just means her mother

She looked so sad and dejected, so I asked her what was wrong. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, "I guess," she replied, "I'm no good at hiding my feelings." I took her hand and said "You are, my darling, if you're secretly happy."

If I died and accidentally got sent to Dog Heaven, I don't think I would mind so much, except for the food.

Instead of having to register guns, we should have guns that, when you pull the trigger, flash a screen that says "Are you sure that you want to do this? After all, every death that you cause not only ends someone else's life, but fundamentally changes the person that you are as well." That way, the shooter has to consider the consequences of what they're doing, and might not be so quick to pull the trigger.

Month of thankfulness!! #3 - Today I am thankful that I am no longer married to that soul-killing, castrating shrew whose sole purpose in life is to make my boys' lives miserable, and here's hoping she lives at least 7 more years so that I can milk her of every penny in child support, and then she spontaneously combusts when she's consumed by her own Evil!! Amen!

I think a good horror movie would be a werewolf who tries to eat a squirrel right before its shot by a silver bullet and dies, and then the squirrel goes around creating an army of undead wolf-squirrels who live in trees and swarm over unsuspecting victims for hundreds of years

You know how those environmental, animal rights people are against zoos because they say they're inhumane? I bet they hate that Paul Simon song about how it's all happening at the zoo.

Ran around for three days making sure Quinn's science fair project was done, all the materials were bought, pictures taken and printed, all of his documentation was presentable and mounted for display, so that it could be turned in on time....email from the teacher this week that he never turned it in, I told her to ask him where it was, and he took it from his locker and turned it in 10 days late!!!

I think that when you die, you first go eat at the Waffle House, then you catch a connecting flight out of Hartsfield Airport to get to Heaven. Unless you're bad, then you stay at the Waffle House 24/7 and wait tables

Took away Quinn's X-Box, iPod, and cell phone for one week. Quinn: "Just don't break any of my stuff." Me: "Two weeks." Quinn: "Two weeks?" Me: "Or, I could just break something if you want."

It would be funny if there was a lavish Broadway musical that was a sequel to "Singing In The Rain" that was called "Pneumonia"

Since Europe uses metric, and the Proclaimers are from SCotland, why didn't they sing "I would walk 804.672 kilometers, and I would walk 804.672 more just to be the man who walked 1609.344 kilometers to fall down at your door..."?

If someone dies and goes to hell, I bet a really good job down there would be working as a cashier, for whenever anyone says "There will be hell to pay"

Thanks for the friend request, Jessica Paschal - You've just bought a one way ticket to AWESOME!!! Population: Mark!!!

I bet Superman looks at people naked through their clothes. I bet he does it to everyone, he can't help it; for him, it's one of those little habits that people have that they just don't tell anyone about. I'm surprised people don't call him on it, "Are you looking through my clothes?" "No! God, No! I would never do that!" "What were you looking at just now?" "Just....you know, through the floor at the....dirt..."

If there's anything sweeter than having a newborn baby fall asleep in my arms, it's having that baby's mother take him out of my arms

Why is that you can get life insurance, and accidental death insurance, but you can't get accidental life insurance for unplanned pregnancies?

Is a doctor ethically obligated to report to a patient that he sees signs that the patient is turning into a werewolf, if he doesn't believe in werewolfs?

If animals had religions, I think bears would make good Buddhists

If you can't stand to socialize with people who have no interphalangeal joints, then you're probably Lack Toes Intolerant

This morning I awoke to the sounds of a bird's sweet song, and gingerly pulled back my bedroom curtain to see a baby deer tenderly picking through the grass by the meadow just beyond, and I said a prayer of thanks for all of God's quiet beauty and grace, and then I shot it.

Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. (James 1:22-24)

I had to leave my kids alone at home for a few hours the other day, and someone asked me, "How do your kids do when they're home by themselves?" And I said, "I don't know, I'm usually not there."

On the elevator, overheard a coworker say that she wasn't aware there was a time change between Utah and Nevada....and I said "Yeah, in Utah it's still 1850" Ba-dum-bump!

As you climb the ladder of success, it's important that you learn to truly value people. That way, you'll be able to buy and sell them like cattle once you reach the top.

How do I know this isn't all some beautiful, magical dream?

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (James 2:14-18)

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. (James 3:13-14)

Every year I make it a point to thank all the vets for our continued freedom, and every year they escort me out of the animal hospital for "harrassing" them

I think a good thing to teach a parrot to say would be "That sounds interesting. Tell me more about that."

I wonder if scientists could isolate the Talking Gene in parrots, and the Suicide Gene in lemmings, and then made a bird rat that talked about how depressed it was right before it jumped off a cliff into the ocean.

Dear Woman who cut me and three others off this morning trying to decide which exit lane to take onto 285, nearly killing us all: Please rethink the "Choose Life" theme on your vanity plates. Love, Mark

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor? (James 4:11-12)

Another way that Star Wars predicted the future: Yoda was the first one to use a Snuggie

Livin' La Vida Caca

A fun science experiment would be to feed Pop Rocks to monkeys. I don't know that it would prove anything scientific, but it would be tons of fun to watch

Instead of being put in jail, I think child molestors and serial rapists should be used as crash test dummies

There's really only two instructions I want to give to people if I die: One is to have me cremated, and the other is that my loved ones learn to let go of me. Otherwise, they'll be walking around with my ashes

I was on a tour of the primate research center and they were showing the Rhesus monkeys, only I thought they were "Recess monkeys" and I asked if that's why they had playground equipment in there. The scientists laughed, and I thought this would be a good supervillian story, where I gain monkey-like abilities and vow revenge on all the scientists who laughed at me.

It's so awesome when you volunteer somewhere thinking you are going to be a blessing to others, and it turns out the ones who are in need are the ones who school you in faith, and patience, and optimism. What a blessing!

Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near. Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. (James 5:7-9)

Forget Free Bird or Stairway To Heaven - I think the classic rock song of all time is Sweet Emotion

I'm not the kind of guy who has this twisted need to go around making other people feel inferior to me. It just always seems to happen that way.

You know that footprints poem, where there's only one set of footprints, and that's where Jesus carries you? I wonder if he carries you piggy-back style, or just slings you over His shoulder?

It takes a long time search all four corners of the globe, because the globe is round and has no corners.

Someone offered me tickets to go see Usher once, but all he did was show me to my seat.

Some people say that, with the economy faltering and wars raging overseas, we may be on the verge of a new Dark Ages. That's why I'm investing my money in flashlights.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." (Romans 1:16-17)

If you're looking to me to solve your problems, you're in worse shape than you realize

Seek God with all your heart, pursue God with every aspect of your life. Never believe that you've gone far enough, but rest, and rejoice that there is always farther to go. Never quit.

Now that Beyonce's pregnant, I guess she'll start singing "If you like it then you should have put a bun in it"

I've never asked for any special consideration that wouldn't be given to anyone as AWESOME!! as me

In the history of the world, I don't believe anyone has ever sold themselves into slavery and not immediately thought "Well, that was a really bad idea!'

If I was that evil guy on Footloose, I would make the children dance all the time, as hard as they could, everywhere they went, twenty four hours a day.

Isn't it ironic that MacKenzie Phillips was on a show called "One Day At A Time"?

Not broken like a toy...Broken like a horse....

Its a good thing that Yogi and BooBoo are still just interested in picnic baskets and haven't started to maul people the way real bears would have, because what would that look like?

Based on his age and body type, I wonder if Santa Claus is diabetic? It probably doesn't help that all he gets on Christmas eve is cookies and milk. Plus, all that venison he eats in the off season probably doesn't help his gout.

Don't cry...Don't raise your eyes...It's only 44 Year Old Wasteland

I am officially a charity case. I just used one gift card to buy another gift card.

It doesn't seem fair that the entire point of "A Christmas Carol" is that Scroooge doesn't want to be remembered as a miser who hates Christmas, and yet today when we say "Scrooge" that's exactly what we mean

When Neanderthal Man slowly started to grow in population and displace Cro Magnon Man, I bet there was a Neanderthal Boy whose dad wouldn't let him date the Cro Magnon girl next door

Don't tell me. Show me.

Women break your heart and whiskey breaks your liver

I've always thought it was important to learn to forgive yourself. But more important than that is, you have to do something bad to forgive yourself for.

If anyone says they want peace on earth more than I do, well, he better be prepared to back that up, is all I have to say....

I try to teach my boys that they should cherish a woman, and always tell her how beautiful she is, and how important she is in their lives. But only if it's a woman that they know, not some random woman they see walking down the street.

One of the most difficult and frustrating times in history would have been living before the invention of paper or scissors, so that everyone would just keep choosing "Rock" and ending in a tie.

I think competitive weightlifting would be a lot less boring if they started greasing the floors before each match

Live every day like it's your last. Hooked up to a ventilator in the ER.

Seek God with all your heart, pursue God with every aspect of your life. Never believe that you've gone far enough, but rest, and rejoice that there is always farther to go. Never give up.

Probably caveman children were happy to get coal in their stockings

The good news is, if anyone needs a liver, the doctor says mine is huge...

I think a good TV show would be called "The Juggler" and it would be about a master juggler who wanders from town to town, trying to pick up odd jobs juggling, while eluding rogue federal agents who want to discover the secret to his juggling so that they can weaponize it and take over the world.

‎"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody." (Romans 12:14-17)

How come cowboys always rode horses when they were on a cattle drive? Why didn't they just ride the cows? And how come they weren't called "Horseboys"?

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones;

God doesn't require the past of you; He only asks for today. God doesn't promise you the future; He promises His eternal favor. Eternity is not some far-off, hypothetical place with harps and wings: It's right now, it's where you've invested your heart and your hope. Choose well, and be awesome.

Being in the hospital is kind of like being a baby. You have to learn to walk all over again, you spend most of your time staring at the ceiling, and everyone pays attention to you.

Every morning in Barrow County, there are traffic jams at all the stop signs. Because the signs just tell you to stop, but there are no signs telling when you can go again

When you cook things that are fattening, they make you fat, so what happens when you cook with shortening?

Whenever anyone asks me how I'm doing, I don't know if they're asking about my time in the hospital or if they're just being polite.

I don't know why conservatives aren't all up in arms about Superman. He's doing the jobs that Americans won't do, and he entered this country illegally.

I bet the worst part of living through that first Christmas was, they only had like a day or two to set all the computers to Year One.

God made us imperfect, and set us in an imperfect world, not to delight in our suffering but to delight in our continued triumph over suffering; not so that we wouldn't know joy but so that we would continually find our own joy; and not so that we wouldn't understand Him but so that we would choose Him every day

Saying that the removal of religious icons from public places is a War on Religion, is like saying an empty can is a War on Beer

I just saw a link that said "Click here to find the Waffle House nearest you"....Seriously? In Atlanta, just stick your head out the window.

So many wonderful memories are made up of all of the wonderful things that we remember

Chicks dig me, and I dig them, and chicks dig me digging them, and I dig being dug by chicks

It's ok if you believe in Santa Claus, just don't be a fanatic and force your beliefs on everyone else

I wonder if Clark Kent's dad ever used kryptonite as punishment

There will always be those who doubt, and mock, and explain away our history and our faith, but the fact is, something happened in Jerusalem 2000 years ago that not only changed the course of human history, but has been changing human hearts every day since. As for me, I choose to believe. Merry Christmas everyone!

Just a tip to all my friends in the USA: Most states have home invasion laws that make it legal to shoot and kill anyone coming down your chimney

Snow in Atlanta on Christmas Day...Christmas Miracle, or Sign of the Apocalypse?? Film at Eleven...

This Christmas I have a lot to be thankful for. A lot.

I'm trying to be more positive and optimistic about life, but I'm sorry, I still hate snow

I don't like using turn signals, because people don't need to be knowin' my bidness

Actions speak louder than words, except if you're yodeling

Yesterday, Quinn asked me a question about girls. I shook my head and said, "Chicks, man, what can you do?" And with that, I passed on to him almost 45 years of accumulated knowledge on the subject.

After a lot of soul searching and contemplation, I've concluded that, when you're lonely and tired and you decide that it's time to settle down and get married, cold-calling women out of the phone book is not the best way to go about it.

This morning I saw the cutest little bunny hopping through my yard, leaving delicate tracks in the snow as he went. For a moment I contemplated the beauty that can be found in small, perfect moments like this, and then I shot it.

I find your lack of self-esteem disturbing

‎2011 is going to be the year when all your dreams come true! Except hopefully, not that one where you're out in public and suddenly realize you're naked.

If you died today, could you live with all the regrets that you would have?

This morning, my car broke down, and I accidentally called AA for a tow. They said that they could help, but I had to first admit that I had a problem, and that my car had become unmanageable

The new cashier at McDonald's so clearly wants me. It's obvious by the way she ignores me and won't take my order and avoids eye contact, she might as well throw herself across the counter at me. It's so obvious, it's embarrassing.

I don't judge people based on material possesions or how much money they make. I judge them based on what they look like.

How many cows does it take to make a stampede? More than two? More than ten?

My Jamaican friend Gloria had all her chairs reupholstered in an off-white color. Now she's Gloria in Eggshell Seats (Day-O)

If I was a superhero I would be Captain Awesome, and my sidekicks would be Action Boy and Neato Girl

It's easy to point out others' shortcomings, and to mock people and laugh them, while ignoring your own faults. That's why I do it all the time, because it's so easy.

When someone tells me they're fat or they're ugly or something else disparaging about themselves, I've always found it entertaining to just say, "Yeah, but I didn't want to say anything..."

Here's something to ponder as you go about your day: If the gravity of the moon is enough to cause tides in the ocean, why isn't the inertia of the Earth's rotation enough to slam you into the nearest wall every time you jump up in the air?

If I was Spider-Man, I would hate it when people call me "Spidey". No one calls Superman "Supey" or Batman "Batty".

You know you're getting old when a woman only talks to you in public hoping she can set you up with her mom

Secrets will break you. They will break your life, your love, your being. They will break your spirit. If you truly love someone you will keep no secrets. Unless you're Batman.

I've always thought it a good idea to set aside a few minutes every day for meditation, prayer, and banging your head into the wall muttering "Stupid, stupid, stupid..."

We saw a Yogi Bear cartoon in the doctor's office today, and Indy said "Why doesn't Yogi just kill that ranger guy, and then he can do whatever he wants?" I didn't know whether to be proud or frightened.

The boys used to have a tradition with their mom that they watched "The Sound of Music" every year. We kind of do the same thing, except we watch "Die Hard"

People always tell me that age is just a number, but so is blood alcohol content

When I get my car valet parked, I like to leave an envelope filled with baby powder on the front seat, then say "Be careful not to touch that Anthrax."

If I had just one wish during this magical holiday season of giving and sharing, it would be for absolute power over every living being in the entire universe

Today at the store I ran into two different people that I haven't seen in 30 years: Lee Ann Hall and Steve Minton - Isn't that weird? You don't even care, do you?

Does anyone else think its weird that there were only four police officers on 21 Jump Street, and yet they were always at different schools and never ran into kids that already knew them? How many high schools were there in that city?

If I was a politician, I would just carry a gun around with me. Just once, it would be great if a political target got a few rounds off.

For those of you who think that all this snow is a sign of the Apocalypse, it's not in the Bible; it's in the Norse Edda that the world ends by freezing during Ragnarok. So if you're going to panic, at least panic correctly.

You know that part of the Grinch who stole Christmas when his heart grows three sizes? I always laugh at that part, because that's called cardiomegaly and it's usually fatal, and that bastard deserves it

Law & Order: UK is just like regular Law & Order, but with funny wigs

The hardest part for young Clark Kent being Superboy probably wouldn't be explaining why the two of them look exactly the same, but explaining why they both have super-powered dogs that looks exactly the same

OK here's what I don't get: All these homeless drug addicts who are always getting beat up and abused by their dealers....why don't they just buy their drugs from NICE drug dealers?

I think the worst sign of the zodiac to be would be cancer. Because, you know, it's cancer, and that's, like, a bad disease.

If animals could scream, we would probably treat them better and not abuse them. Unless they were really obnoxious, and screamed obscenities at us for no reason.

I don't think we should try to change others. We should just change ourselves. Except for babies, who still need to be changed a few times a day.

Pirates always have wooden legs and eye patches and hook-hands. I think when you choose to be a pirate, pieces just start automatically falling off of you

I wonder why Vikings don't protest the fact that their main god Thor is a superhero. Christians would be lined up for blocks protesting a superhero modeled after Jesus

Whenever you go to someone's house and they have a poorly-trained dog who jumps all over you, they always say that the dog "thinks it's a person" and is "just like one of the family" and I always think, "Really? Because no one else in your family is crawling all over me and licking me"

I wonder if flesh-eating zombies have to watch their cholesterol, because it seems like they would

I think zombies would do much better if, instead of being scary, they were nice, so that people would want them around. Then they could satiate their lust for human flesh. And sometimes I think that's why Casper is such a friendly ghost.

You know how football coaches are always screaming "I can't hear you?" at their players? I wonder what they do at schools where all the kids are deaf?

If there's a wealthy elderly person in your life who tells you one day that you're included in their will, as a special thank you, you should throw them a surprise party.

All of my friends keep telling me to go to this seminar on resisting peer pressure

Dear guy who honked and flashed his lights at me driving West on 316 this morning: As much as I'd like to, I can't drive any faster than the car in front of me. That's like on of the Laws of Physics. Look it up.

How come the movie Top Gun is about Navy pilots but the song says "HIGHWAY to the danger zone"...??

Every time I get an automated voicemail system, it says "Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed" but I wonder how often they REALLY change their menu options?? And why would they change them so much?

You know what would be a really easy job? Barber at a military academy

I like how every fake, cheesy cop TV show has an episode where they go to the set of a faker, cheesier cop TV show just to show how realistic they are, when really they're not

The people who say that there is no God and man is just another animal are usually the same ones who say that man-made things are ruining nature, but if man is just another animal then anything he does is natural, right?

"Jorge: You let your kids play Grand Theft Auto?
Me: So? I watched Superman cartoons but I never jumped off a building
Jorge: But there were times you wanted to.
Me: Sure, when I was married."

If its bad luck to see the bride before you marry her, how are you supposed to know what she looks like?

Why doesn't the Federal Government set up some fake Social Security numbers to catch identity thieves, the same way that highway patrols use bait cars to catch car thieves?

I wonder if Westboro Baptist Church has a daycare? If they do, the kids probably spend their days protesting at other daycares with signs that say "God Hates Toys"

My ex wife is starting up her own search engine to compete with Google. Here's how it works: You type in what it is you'd like to search for, and it comes back with all the reasons you're so stupid you don't know where it is in the first place

If your ears are burning, it means someone is talking about you. Usually they're saying "Hey, get the fire extinguisher, that guy's ears are on fire!"

Every time a politician gives a political speech, the newspapers always say what they're EXPECTED to say, so why do they bother to give speeches if everyone already knows what they'll say?

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet, because I stole his shoes since he didn't need them.

INDY: The one for my phone?
ME: Yes, son, the one for your phone.
INDY: WHat do you need it for, to charge your phone?"

This morning on my way to work I was driving behind a Barrow County schoolbus and the driver threw a lit cigarette butt out the window. Stay classy, Barrow County.

I don't believe that money makes people happy, but I don't think it makes anyone unhappy.

Someone told me today that I was "very charming". OK, I'll take that. But for some reason I feel like I should be wearing a tuxedo or something.

Once when Quinn was a baby, I was holding him and someone came up to me and said "Hey, is that your new baby?" and I said "No, I have an unformed twin growing out of my chest." Good times.

In life there are three kinds of people: Those who are good with math, and those who aren't

Newborn babies are as interesting as Sea Monkeys. They do nothing but they're interesting because they're there. Next, they're as interesting as fish. They still don't do anything but they'll at least move at a loud noise. Next, they're as interesting as dogs, like maybe they know a few tricks. Then they get to be as interesting as monkeys: Everything they do is funny. It's like evolution.

I wish I could go back in time and live my life over, because now I know how much I could have gotten away with

It's not enough that the government takes all our money, the cruelest thing is that they make the laws impossible to understand and then make us fill out the forms. It's like a bully making you give yourself a wedgie.

If you're worrying about becoming bitter and resentful, you probably already are bitter and resentful

Tax forms are just the government's way of saying "You tell us how much you owe, and if you get it wrong we'll crawl up your intestinal tract with a microscope."

You know what would have been awesome? If John Wayne had made a movie with Elvis.

Someone once told me that I wouldn't know a good idea if it came up and bit me. But I disagree. If it came up and bit me, it would NOT be a good idea.

Sometimes I wonder if there are people secretly watching my every move, and how incredibly boring their lives must be

I eat chicken like a caveman

It's a good thing that "Tommy" was written in the early 70's and not the early 80's, because I don't think a deaf, dumb and blind kid could have played Pac Man or Asteroids

This chick told me that I shouldn't be refering to chicks as "chicks".

Dear Elton John, A man who makes potions in a traveling show is probably a drug dealer.

You know what would be good? A Dr. Pepper cappuccino. How about it, science?

Here's what I don't get: No matter how big or small the box of Raisin Bran that you buy, it still says two scoops of raisins

I like the show Bones but they should have a better theme song, maybe one that explains the show like the old days of Gilligan's Island and Patty Duke

If I was getting on a plane with a bunch of Arabic dudes, it wouldn't really bother me. But don't ask me to fly with a Peruvian soccer team.

A good superpower to have would be the abilty to look at someone and tell what their favorite food is. If you were a person who threw a lot of dinner parties.

On Star Wars, if the Force can be used to choke people and lift things up, can it also be used to tickle people and scratch uncomfortable itches while watching TV?

I wish that women came equipped with sensors to tell us how codependent and dysfunctional they are, like a list of ingredients on a box of cereal

Someone asked me if I would ever marry outside my race, and I said, I did marry outside my race. It was kind of an accident though, because she told me she was human.

A mom on Dateline NBC just described a device she had installed on her teen son's car: "If there is a sudden motion indicating an accident, it will send a text message ten seconds before and then ten seconds after."

I don't know how or why, but the little Mexican dude at the Subway next door doesn't make the sandwiches as good as everyone else there

On February 14, be careful who you wish Happy VD to

If scientists ever develop a pill you can take to cure being in denial, it won't matter because no one will ever take it

Quinn acts like an angel for everyone but me, and no one believes what a terror he is at home. When I tell people the crap he does at home, I feel like the guy on Mr. Ed trying to tell people that my horse can talk.

If you only surround yourself with and listen to people with whom you already agree, you'll never hear anything new, never challenge your own faith, and never grow. Don't worry if someone's tone is right or if they're "respectful" enough of your beliefs: Listen to people, consider their points, and allow yourself the possibility that there's room in your heart for new things. Then you can be awesome.

I never believed in astrology until I moved to Columbus and discovered that the two hottest chicks there, Barbara Bice-Wood and Jennifer McLeod Hagerty had the same birthday. Now I believe.

Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars, So watch out for Uranus

Went into the Subway and the muzak was playing "Summer of '69" and the cashier asked me what I was doing back then? I said that's hard to say, really. She suggested that I might have been at Woodstock or something, and I said, no, actually I had just turned three. Do I look 65 years old?

The Founding Fathers understood that a self-sufficient general populace didn't like and wouldn't trust a big central government. They even drafted a Constitutional Amendment that allowed us to carry guns to protect ourselves from THEM. No other government in the world can claim that. God Bless America.

I hate it when someone gets an answer that they don't like and then they say "I'm confused." Just because you can't have something your way doesn't make you confused, it makes you a crybaby. And if you're still confused after it's been explained to you, unless we're talking about quantum theory, you're an idiot.

Quinn was telling me about a girl who was "hot" but she was also "really crazy", and I thought, are we cursed like werewolves or something? But then he said he didn't like crazy chicks, and I was able to sleep last night.

I'm not being stupid, so I would appreciate it if you don't be stupid either

People who followed the Grateful Dead around on tour were called Deadheads, so I guess if there were people who followed Hall and Oates around they would have been called Hall Monitors

If you find it in your nature to be kind and compassionate, to be clear-minded and calm, and to remain optimistic in the face of many trials, don't for a second fool yourself by calling it your gift to God. It's God's gift to you.

In Unity there is Strength, in Solitude there is Truth, in Action there is Purpose, in Silence there is Meaning

I think a good name for a hippy would be Sirius Bongwater

If you put a muzzle on a pig, then he'll be disgruntled

I want to start a charitable group and call it The Society of Truth, Faith, and Unity, and then spread the word with all kinds of T Shirts and Bumper Stickers with our initials

There are two kinds of people on Facebook: Those who post every bit of personal information, and those who are afraid of gremlins spying on them through the internet

I overheard a pregnant woman at the Barrow County Wal Mart tell her friend that she hopes she'll have a boy, so then her baby can count to 11

If vegetarians just eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

I wonder how long macaroni existed before someone said "This is really great stuff, but you know what it needs? Cheese."

Today I realized something about myself. It doesn't matter what political point you try to make, my instinct is to argue with you about it, just because I like to.

My next door neighbor came over today. She's cute but I can't date her because if she's a stalker, then I'm going to wind up like one of those lobsters in the fish tanks at the grocery store just waiting to be plucked up and dunked in boiling water

Last night I was falling asleep while the TV was on and a commercial came on for Homeowner's Insurance, only I was half asleep and I thought they said Homo's Insurance and I thought "Well, gays have their own insurance now, that's awesome."

There's a rule in my house that my kids can't fight with other kids. And if they do, they're not allowed to fight kids who have hot moms. And if they do, they're not allowed to win.

I hate getting in the last word when what I really want to do is keep arguing

Why would the Jackson 5 think it was a good thing to shake your body down to the ground? Because that sounds like a seizure to me.

I think there should be a more politically correct name for the Loch Ness Monster, I just can't think of one.

Whenever I see a sign that says "Caution - Children Playing" it doesn't bother me, because I'm not afraid of children.

My BS levels have returned to normal. Bloodsugar, I mean.

I wish the Somali pirates would hijack a boat with some ninjas on it, and then we'd be able to settle the whole ninjas versus pirates once and for all

Why do we spend so much time and effort telling kids to use their imaginations, and then punish them when they lie?

I went to see a British doctor, and my condition was upgraded from "Bloody Hell" to "What's All This, Then?"

It's sad to lose your cell phone. It's sadder when you don't miss a single call the whole time it's missing.

When I was a little kid and girls would pass me notes that said "Do you love me? CHeck Yes or No" I would always draw an extra box and write "Maybe", because I wanted them to work for it

I've usually found that if a woman's parents or kids disapprove of her dating you, she might not be the right one for you. But if her therapist and parole officer and AA sponsor don't approve, she's definitely wrong for you.

If there was a blind guy who liked to read but didn't have any feeling in his fingertips, then I bet he would always have his nose stuck in a book

Women:Chocolate::Men:Bacon

Tonight Indy asked me how could a Christian be a racist, if they believe that someone is inferior, why does that mean you have to hate them? Shouldn't it be the other way around, and you'd want to take care of them? Good point for an 11 year old.

The more you think you understand, the stupider you really are

People are fleeing Libya and going to Egypt? Isn't that like fleeing to Alabama to get away from the rednecks in Tennessee?

How much does the media love bad news? Gas prices went up .15 a gallon this week and the newsanchors on Channel 11 were so excited I thought they were going to start making out with each other.

"ANDY: I was hanging out with Mick.
ME: That's cool, what's he been up to?

ME: Really? Are you sure? I haven't seen him in 27 years, and he's STILL hanging out in his parents' basement listening to the Sex Pistols?"

I just talked to a guy whose first name was Hashish

The more passionate you are, the more people doubt what you're saying is true. And, also, want to medicate you.

I know why they don't have Hermit Conventions. Because they're hermits.

At work I sent out an email that said "I need to know when the installation took place, and the name of the contractor you hired." I got back an email that said "I don't remember when it was, but a guy came out and did the installation. I don't remember his name."....Why did you even bother to reply to my email, dude?

You know what bugs me about Indiana Jones? Unless it's made of plastic, there's no way that bag of sand weighs as much as that idol head

If I was the Terminator, I would go back in time a HUNDRED years and kill Sarah Connor's grandmother in her horse and buggy. The movie would last about 10 minutes though.

Everyone always talks about how great Fridays are, but saturdays are way better

Why aren't the people who make Doritos and Taco Bell lobbying to legalize marijuana?

You know those ringtones that only teenagers can hear? I'm pretty sure my voice is that way, except the opposite. Teenagers can't seem to hear any words that come out of my mouth.

On Google, I typed in the word LAME and it came back "Did you mean JONAS BROTHERS"?

I think we're all spiritual beings with rights and responsibilities, and all of our problems stem from how important our superficial differences are, when religion or politics allow us to think in terms of "us" and "them". I don't like to think this way, but if I did, I would want to be one of the "us" and not one of the "them".

When cooking the perfect steak, I've always found the most important ingredient to be meat

People don't mess with me, because on the streets, I'm known as a badass. At least, on the one cul-de-sac where I live, with three retired couples, a guy in a wheelchair and a lady with 12 cats.

I wish life were more like beer commercials

If you lead a horse to water and you have to make him drink, what you have there is one dumbass horse

I bet glaucoma is the most popular disease to have right now

At 8:10 I told Quinn to get up for church, at 8:25 I told him to get up again, at 8:40 I told him I was leaving in 5 minutes, and he still didn't get up, so I said just stay in bed, I'm going. When I got home and unplugged his X-Box, he said "What are you mad about? You told me to stay in bed."

Watching SNL (hosted by Anne Hathaway) last night, and wondering how did I miss this when it was first on? Then I was like, oh yeah, I was in a coma...

You know those commercials that are supposed to make kids never want to try meth? I bet they make a lot of people not want to ever have kids, too.

If you joined the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing and read exclusively from the book of Psalms, then you would be a Psalt Shaker

Happy people like to to flaunt good news, like kids who have candy like to tease the ones who don't have any. And then unhappy people feel like happy people stole all their happiness. I'm not sure who's stupider.

I wonder if Superman ever gets bugs in his eyes when he's flying

If my life was a job, I would ask for a raise, because I've earned it

Don't worry, if I ever win the lottery, I won't forget all the common poor people who used to be my friends

If I was Chinese and people just assumed I was Chinese because they thought all Asian people were Chinese, I think I would get offended just on principle. Or at least act offended, just to mess with their heads.

I don't think we should refer to celebrities like Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan as "train wrecks". Train wrecks happen and then they're over; they don't just keep going on and on forever.

God made us imperfect, and set us in an imperfect world, not to delight in our suffering but to delight in our continued triumph over suffering; not so that we wouldn't know joy but so that we would continually find our own joy; and not so that we wouldn't understand Him but so that we would choose Him every day\\

ME: OK, go pack your stuff, give her a call and we'll drive down there.
(Five minutes later)
INDY: Pop, I don't really want to go live with Mom.

I'm so heterosexual I once scored with a chick at an Indigo Girls concert

Something can be mainstream, traditional, and viewed as normal by the average person, and still be wrong and stupid. So please don't use these arguments when you're defending a position or opinion that you have.

ME: What are you doing?
QUINN: What does it look like I'm doing?
ME: It looks like you're getting ready for me to whup your little ass, but what ARE you doing?"

People who hate aren't dangerous because of what they say. They're only dangerous if we listen.

Here's my impression of someone with strong political beliefs: "Blah blah blah, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!"

I used to have a fear of being irrelevant but now I guess it really doesn't even matter

I thought the purpose of the Terminators was to blend in so that the humans wouldn't spot them, so why does Skynet make them giant dudes with German accents, and hot brunettes wearing leather?

Little Johnny got circumcised and the next day at school complained about the pain. Soon after he called his mother, he went back to class and was immediately sent home. She rushed to the school and said "I thought I told you to call me later?" Johnny protested: "You said you couldn't get me right now, and that I should stick it out until after lunch. That's when they sent me home."

In your opinion, what animal would be the most awesome if it could be genetically engineered to have bat-wings added to it?

Does anyone else have a person in their lives who is so thoroughly annoying that all they have to do is say hello and you want to smack them? Where even the stuff that you agree with, you automatically categorize as ridiculous crap when they say it? Is it just me?

I accidentally locked myself out of my Happy Place, and then it burned down

Tomorrow is the first Saturday in a very long time where I have nothing that I have to do and nowhere that I have to be

When did it become a thing for women to start taking pictures of themselves looking surprised or confused? It's not a good look.

I think I would respect a politician who had a public meltdown and started cussing people out, or even got in a fistfight with someone

Every day I thank God that my kids don't do at their age what I was doing at their age

"I was bored today and I started texting people my new emoticon that I made up.
:()+<
It's a Frogman"

In the cartoons, when Aquaman goes back to Atlantis where everyone lives and breathes underwater, why do they still call him Aquaman? Down there, he should just be "Man".

If you identify yourself with one political party and you always take their side and argue their points no matter what, and if you're always critical of the other party no matter what they say or do, then you have no credibility at all.

I think being a traffic reporter in Atlanta would be one of the easiest jobs ever, because traffic is always bad at the same times in the same places everyday.

I think it's really really stupid to combine two people's names together to indicate that they're a couple.

Why is it that whenever high school kids tell you what the popular kids are doing, it's always something incredibly stupid?

I got an idea. Let's let Libertarians run the economy, Dems handle all the social issues, and conservatives fight all the wars.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by peanut butter and jelly also shall he live

I'm giving up all my inhibitions for Lent

You know how on The Little Mermaid, the mermaids were all so judgemental about land people eating fish, like it's so uncivilized and barbaric? That's a little hard to take, especially since all fish ever eat is each other.

The years between birth and 15 years old seem like 25 years, from 15 to 20 seem like 15 years, from 20 to 35 seems like 5 years, and from 35 to 45 seems like about a week

Among Jesus' Apostles were Simon the Zealot, who under other circumstances would likely have assassinated Matthew, a Sadducee, viewed by many as Roman collaborators, and Paul, a Pharisee, who would have been a target of both. Jesus never told them to change or disavow their political affiliations; He just gave them one command: Follow Me. There is room for everyone, with all opinions and affiliations.

If Quinn doesn't turn down that rap music I am going to drop kick his ipod speakers off a highway overpass

When a woman says she still wants to be friends, what she means is "You can't get mad when I go out with other guys, but you still have to do everything I say."

Dear Sarah Palin, You were elected Governor in Alaska, the most remote and least populous State in the union, and then resigned, you ran for Vice President, arguably the most obscure position in government, and then you lost, and all of this happened three years ago....why do I even still know who you are? Best Regards, Mark

Today it occurred to me that dogs and cats might be able to see the future, but we don't have any way of knowing it because they can't talk

So today I'm like sitting at work, right? And this dude calls me up and he's like, "Dude?" And I'm all "Dude?" and he's like "Duuuuuude!" and I'm all, *click*

I don't think positive, I think AWESOME!!!

Someone tagged the sign at Patti's subdivision with the letters "KTG". Not sure, but considering this is Barrow County, we're pretty sure the gang is called Kow Tippin' Gangstas

If one person asks another person to go out, and the person being asked out doesn't usually get asked out so doesn't realize that the first person is trying to ask him or her out, then I don't think the person who's doing the asking should get mad at the other person for thinking that the first person was just making a joke, which apparently he or she wasn't

OK let's say that there was a guy who thought there should be less pudding, that there was too much pudding in the world. That guy probably would never go to work for a pudding company, right? He wouldn't make or sell pudding for a living. So isn't it weird that the people who think there should be less government are running for office?

Something to think about: In the 1970's when The Waltons first aired, the 1930's seemed like ancient history. But now in 2010's, the 1970's are just as far away to our kids.

People who suffer from internet addiction have it really bad, I know. But not nearly as they did a generation ago, because there was no internet then

Peter Parker is lucky that it was a spider in the lab that day, and not a mosquito or a roach or some other bug that's much less cool than a spider

I wish there was a recovery group for dumbasses

I don't see how the Coyote could eat a Roadrunner after he's dropped an anvil on it, so I wonder if at some point he stopped caring about eating the Roadrunner and just wanted to kill it. I sure wanted him to. I hated the Roadrunner.

If I was the guy who made Head & Shoulders shampoo, I would also market a foot powder called Knees & Toes, Knees & Toes

Why do we have a holiday to celebrate the guy who brought religion to Ireland? That's like celebrating the guy who brought gunpowder to the Middle East.

Sometimes I wonder what kind of chicks was Tom Petty dating in the 70's that he specifically had to tell them they didn't HAVE to live like refugees?

This Easter, I'm just going to be hanging with my Peeps

If people from Poland are Poles, why aren't people from Cuba called Cubes?

These really annoying guys came to my door and asked me if I wanted to be sure I was going to Heaven when I died? I said, Are you guys going to be there? Because if so, then, no.

"MOM (TO KID): You better do what I say and stop saying no to me, I don't ever want to hear you say no to me again! Do you want a spanking?
KID: I don't know how to answer that, Mom."

You've got to love a country where the two national past times are rioting at soccer games, and getting drunk and throwing darts across the room. The bravest people in the world.

I wonder if the Irish guy who first said "May the road rise to meet you" hadn't just fallen down on his face

OK, I think I got it now. If I try to call her or pay her any attention, she ignores me. But if I act like I could care less, then she loves me. This makes sense.

I'm sorry you're having trouble dealing with how AWESOME I am.

I'm pretty sure I'm not one of those guys who has trouble admitting when he's wrong. I'll let you know if it ever happens.\\\

I wonder why the Jello people haven't gotten with the cracker people to make a snack called Pudding On The Ritz

For my interview I'm wearing a charcoal suit with a burgundy shirt and a Grateful Dead tie. I'm Awesome.

Being insanely rich is probably the closest you could get in real life to having super powers. The next closest is being really really drunk.

Pray for the people who interviewed me today, that they're smart enough to tell how awesome I am

OK I just read an article about things not to do during an interview, and even though I didn't do any of them, I'm starting to think that I did horribly in the interview and the people who did the interview are probably having a meeting today to discuss how horrible I was and laugh about it

If you hate something, hit it with a shovel. If it comes back to you, run like hell.

What's fun to do is, go up to a random person on the street and say "I'm sorry." When they ask why, say "You'll see soon enough" and then walk away.

If there's anyone in California named Sarah Connor, I bet they voted against Schwarzenegger for Governor

The Red Cross came in today to see if I would donate a pint of my AWESOME!!

The pollen count is already so high that the APD is busting drug dealers for turning meth back into sudafed

Sometimes I watch documentaries about Post-WWI Germany, and all the alarmism and paranoia and propaganda they generated about the Jews, and it doesn't seem much different than what I can observe in our own culture with regard to how a growing segment of our population insists on demonizing Muslims.

You know what would be fun at a carnival? Instead of having a dude drawing caricatures, having your friends describe you to a police sketch artist to see how close he can come to how you actually look

I wonder what would happen if I went to an AA meeting and stood up and said, "My name is Mark and I want to be the best alcoholic I can be."

I'm O Positive and Kathy was A Negative, and when Quinn was born he was O Negative. I used to tell people that he got his blood type from me, and his negativity from her.

Normally I'm not in favor of electroshock therapy, but Indiana just told me that the Beatles "Revolution" sucks

Both of my children yelled at me this morning that they had no underwear like it was my fault, and so one way I'm getting back at them in a passive-aggressive way is posting about their underwear on Facebook

People think they're superior to animals, but we have air traffic controllers to keep planes from crashing into each other and exploding, and you never see two birds bonk their heads together in mid-air and plummet to their deaths

You know how some people like the movie Twilight and they get all into it and think it's real and act like they're really vampires? That's kind of how I am about the movie Die Hard

My parents always thought I had Tourette's Syndrome, until the doctors tested me and said that I just liked to blurt out random obscenities, for no reason

If I had a Led Zeppelin Tribute Band, I would call it Led Zep Again

If I was Batman and Catwoman was attacking me, I would turn on a giant vacuum cleaner. because if there's one things cats are afraid of, it's vacuum cleaners.

I know a lot of people who are afraid of heights, but I'm afraid of widths

Did you know that there's a show called Secret Life Of The American Teenager? I know that's fiction. Teenagers post everything on Facebook.

If you go to work in a company that makes sticky notes, you better be able to work in a fast paste environment

I think all the cheerleaders for the WNBA should be male

Can anyone tell me what Sharia Law is and why we need to be afraid of it? Specifically, what's contained in Sharia Law that can over-ride Constitutional protections and withstand judicial scrutiny to endanger our way of life? Because to me it seems like anti-Islamic paranoia

It's really cute when kids get mad at you for cheating at board games, except when they do that thing where they strart crying so hard that they can't breathe: That's when you have to let them win.

In Australia, when you get invited to a wedding, it's always customary to specify whether you want the platypus or the wallabee at the dinner reception

I want to remind all the vegetarian hippies out there who don't like hunting because they say it kills Bambi, that it wasn't Bambi that got shot, it was Bambi's mom.

No Gas Day is tomorrow. So, "No Chili Dog" Day is today.

So, wait a minute, Black Swan is about a hot girl who obsesses about her weight and goes violently insane? I don't know, it sounds kind of *out there* to me...

I woke up this morning and everything was great, the birds were singing and the kids were smiling and happy and work was so great, and then I woke up again and realized I'd been dreaming and everything still sucks.

Putting old men in charge of reproductive rights is like putting rednecks in charge of diversity training

I bet gay divorces take extra long because they have to divide up the wardrobe

If I ever get to be so popular that people make a statue of me, I hope an angry mob never topples it

"INDY: Do you think these cookies are bad?
ME: Indy, it's April. Those are Halloween cookies.
INDY: Yeah, the Halloween cookies, do you think they're bad?
ME: Well, yeah, I think they probably are bad.
INDY: So do you think they're ok to eat?
ME: No, son, I think that's what 'bad' means"

If there was a game called Deathball, I bet no one would want to play it because it sounds like it would kill you

I just had a horrible thought - What if my secret talent and life calling is something I hate, like tap dancing or opera or checkers?

If firemen had their own religion, they would probably call it Ladder Day Saints

They say that human beings are over 80% water, but I'm pretty sure at one point in my 20s, I was at least 50% tequila

Silence is golden, duct tape is silver

Why does facebook have relationship statuses for 10 year olds?

If I'm ever going out and I say "Can I get you anything?" don't tell me to really get you something. It's just a figure of speech, like when I say "How are you doing?" or "Call me later" or "Go ahead, jump, I'll catch you."

Evolution is so easy even a caveman could do it

In all the time we were married, I only cheated on my wife once. I confessed it right away, she cried and got angry and threw things at me, I cried and begged her to forgive me. We eventually worked through it, after our therapist convinced us not to take our Scrabble games so seriously.

The Revolution of the Gospel was not a single man performing miracles, but that all of us share in God's unmerited favor. Not burnt offerings in temples, or priests hidden by robes, but the withholding of judgement, loving your enemies, turning the other cheek. It's very simple, and can't be taken away by detractors who dissect historical documents pointing out inaccuracies. Be encouraged. Seek God, and live your faith.

Q: What do you call a guy in his mid-forties who spent the last few weeks watching every episode of Gilmore Girls on DVD and Netflix? A: Single

I don't know about you guys but all those tips from "experts" on how to dress and what to say and do during job interviews just freak me out and make me self-conscious. Just once I'd like one of them to say "Don't over-think everything." But of course, then they'd be out of work.

People always say that beauty is not on the outside, it's on the inside. But I don't think those people have ever seen a person's insides. It's pretty gross.

If Lady Gaga was really born that way, I bet her mom was in labor for weeks

If you feel worthless, and God has abandoned you or is angry at you, or no one cares, if these are what you tell yourself....then it won't matter if they're true or not; the effect is the same. You don't have to be blindly optimistic with all that Rah-Rah Think Positive BS to endure the dark times, just remember that the worst day you ever had was still just one day. Be encouraged. Endure, and seek God. Be Awesome.

You can read only the stuff that you agree with, you can surround yourself with people who believe the same way, or you can open your mind and challenge yourself, seek truth in all things, find a reason to agree, and stand on common ground. God doesn't draw lines around us, we do that ourselves.

Don't like your job, unhappy with your marriage, feeling stuck in your job and depressed about your bleak prospects for the future? There's a support group for you. It's called Everyone. We meet at the bar.

Keep Indifference Alive

Do you think people were so stoned in the 60's that they all thought Joe Cocker could sing?

If I ever win the lottery I'm going to live on a houseboat and go to Ninja School and have a pet tiger who carries around a keg of beer all the time, and work in a castle that has a waterslide filled with marshmallows

Whenever I apply for work and have to write cover letters I always get so paranoid that I'm going to make a mistake. I hate doing this so much. I also hate that everyone gives me advice and talks to me in bumper stickers, "Be Yourself", "One Day At A Time", "Things Happen For A Reason". I got all that. I just need a job.

It would be awesome if our next President's last name was Schmesident

President Zachary Taylor never voted once during his lifetime. Although since his death, he has voted several times in Chicago.

If I lived in Libya I would make a candy bar called Mallowmar K. Taffy

I hate it when I really open up to a woman and pour my heart out and tell her how much I love her and always will, and she just rejects me like none of my feelings even matter to her. Especially when it's a woman I just ran into on the street who doesn't even know me. And also I'm really drunk.

You know how judges and lawyers in Britain have to wear those stupid wigs? I bet they could do away with crime altogether if they made convicted criminals wear those wigs all the time, as part of their punishment

A friend is someone who knows everything about you but loves you anyway. An ex-wife is someone who knows everything about you and wants you dead.

When you're always busy, and you rush everywhere, your focus will always be on yourself, where you need to be next, what you need to get done. Slow down. That's the first step to being able to put others first. And that's our highest calling.

Homeless guy fist-bumped me getting on the MARTA train

If Michelle Bachmann gets the Republican nomination for President, she should choose Ohio Congressman Michael Turner as her running mate, and then they can be Bachmann-Turner Overdrive, and their campaign song can be Taking Care of Business

You can live in harmony with others and accept your place in the universe, or you can live in competetion with others and try to be the best and have the most. One way leads to peace, the other to conflict and frustration. You choose.

I adopted a dog once but he wouldn't do what I said because I wasn't his real dad

Within certain insect species, the female will tear off the male's head immediately after mating; this is opposed to human females, who drag it out for years and really make their men suffer

You know what's funny about white supremacists who believe that they're superior to every non-white person? Most of them are below average just among other white people.

She told me she needed more out of life than just eating macaroni and cheese with me in my parents' basement. I wish she'd have told me that before I wasted all my parents' macaroni and cheese on her.

I want to apply for a job as a fact checker with CNN. That should be easy.

If Jordin Sparks married Jeff Gordon and took a job heading the security team at a Borden Milk Plant, she would be Borden's Warden Jordin Gordon

I've just been yelled at by a Canadian for like five minutes. I didn't know Canadians could yell like that.

Everyone has good and bad instincts; we all know what's right and are tempted, at times, to do wrong anyway. We define ourselves not by the instincts that we have, but by which ones we choose to follow. Character is determined not by what we accomplish, but by what we attempt, and how often; not by the obstacles we encounter, but in how we face them. Endure, and be awesome.

The Da Vinci Code was all about how Jesus had a wife that wasn't mentioned in scripture. I bet she had red hair and was always coming up with wacky schemes to get into the Bible.

The Hangover II seems so fake. What are the odds that a bunch of guys would get so drunk that they forgot everything they did the night before, and that they would do the same thing twice?

I bet the Grinch didn't start off by stealing Christmas, and he had to warm up by stealing Arbor Day and Canadian Thanksgiving and lesser holidays

Money can't buy happiness but it can buy marijuana

If I ever get to be President, don't bother making a library for me. I want the first Presidential Waterslide & Video Arcade

I tell my kids that they need to start acting like adults. I also tell them that I don't have to act like an adult, because I am an adult, so they need to act like a different adult than me.

Those quiz things that ask "How Many of These Books Have You Read" would turn out much differently if they said "How Many of These Books Have You Read Because You Wanted To And Not Because You Had To For School", or "How Many of These Books Have You Really Read And Not Just Saying That To Make People Think You're Smart"

Our Father, with Art in Heaven, Hollywood be thy name, give us this day our jelly bread, and forgive us our trashbaskets, as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets

"ME: I don't think I'm a bad parent
DEB: Who would you compare yourself to, like on TV? Mike Brady?
ME: Bill Bixby, I guess
DEB: Like on ""Eddie's Father""?
ME: No, like on ""The Incredible Hulk"""

I know Christians who get upset because they say Harry Potter teaches kids witchcraft, but I think witches should really be upset because obviously Harry Potter is doing it wrong.

I asked my fortune teller if I would wear boxers or briefs when I got older. She said, "Depends"

I just realized that the daughter on the show "Parenthood" played Ann Veal on "Arrested Development"

People don't like me because I tell it like it is, I just lay it on the line and tell the plain, unvarnished truth, no matter whether people like it or not, I say the things that others only dare to think. Or maybe just because I'm a jerk. Not sure really.

How you treat those who have wronged you is not a measure of their character, but of yours

I don't believe in thinking positive. Things go wrong all the time whether you think positive or not, and if you teach your kids that thinking positive will make things better, then they'll just think there's something wrong with them when things go bad.

I just heard someone use the word "Re-Fix". And yes he had a Southern accent.

Belief in the supernatural is not irrational, and lack of empirical data doesn't disprove the existence of a Creator. Faith is not an empirical matter, and to one who believes, lack of physical evidence makes God more than what can be measured or detected, not less.

It's funny that Elton John, in his feather boa and flashy glasses and platform shoes, sang "Saturday Night's All Right For Fighting" when it seems like he should have been singing "Saturday Night's All Right For Getting A Swirly"

If you seek God, God will reveal Himself to you, and if you seek Truth, the Truth will be made known. If you want to be right, or if you seek to change other people's minds about anything, then you'll only find conflict and discord.

We can't see each other anymore.

Did I do something wrong?

No, listen, you're sweet, you're funny, you're fantastic.

I can change.

It's Earth Day!!! Suck it, Neptune!!!

I like being around the young people at church, and I think they dig me, because I'm hip to their jive

I never pray "Jesus, take the wheel" because Jesus never had a driver's license and I don't want to get him in trouble

In honor of Easter, today for snack time we're having the Cheez Its of Nazareth

I'm sad, and weary, and angry. I'm swearngry.

Because when society goes up in flames and civilization collapses and a generation of horribly mutated survivors crawls out from the ashes and has to learn to live in a world with no communications or travel or power, the Amish will rule!!!

You know what would be a good curse to put on someone? A curse that made them just randomly jump in the air and scream like someone just goosed them real good.

Arguing about God with an atheist who doesn't believe and has never had a genuinely spiritual experience is like arguing about what the color blue is with a blind person

If someone misspells a common word, or mixes up "their" with "there", my opinion of them goes down. And if someone criticizes something they know nothing about, I think they're willfully ignorant. And I think the original "Arthur" is so funny that if someone doesn't, I can't really be friends with them. And if someone thinks their opinions automatically make them superior to someone else, I think they're stupid.

Here's a good idea for a romantic comedy: Two kids stack on top of each other and use an overcoat and a fake mustache to get an office job to take care of their younger siblings, and then fall in love with a woman they work with but are afraid to tell her that they're two kids stacked on top of each other.

"Words of encouragement from a former supervisor right before my latest interview:
Monica Tobon (11:05:47 AM): Dazzle him with your awesomeness and he won't notice your hairy neck"

I admire a President who takes his time and does things right, who doesn't immediately bow to his detractors but instead is meticulous and precise enough that it's two years into his term before he forges a birth certificate that looks just right

I've given it a lot of thought, and I think when the Anti-Christ comes, his name will be Kevin. Because no one would ever suspect a guy named Kevin was the Anti-Christ. The more you think about this, the more true it's going to be.

I just want to meet a nice woman and live happily ever after, like Romeo & Juliet

When I say Hey to you and you don't say Hey back to me, then I take back my Hey and I say NOT Hey to you!!

Today I am reminded of a Royal Wedding toast 30 years ago, when the Best Man raised his glass and said "Drink up, Chuck and Di!"

Whenever someone asks me what to take for a hangover, I tell them to take lots and lots of alcohol right before they go to bed

I'm watching a movie where Evan Rachel Wood is telling Larry David that she has a crush on him. Next to this, Star Wars seems realistic.

So this guy comes to my door and tells me how I can get into Heaven and I say what about the people who don't know, can they still go to Heaven? And he says yeah, if they don't know they can still get in. So I said, well, why are you going around telling people?

I'd like to see a Veggie Tales where the celery gets arrested for stalking

I just kung fued a giant fly in my room

Why do psychics only offer to help the police after a crime has already been committed?

Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him. Proverbs 24:17,18

I was so popular in High School that none of the other kids even realized it

You know what I miss about being a kid? Monkey bars that were three stories high, made of wrought iron and sunk in three feet of concrete! Those were PLAYGROUNDS, dammit!!\\

Why don't we put away Monopoly and play Scrabble? she asked. My blood ran cold in my veins. This was a game changer.

I love it when someone asks a question and you answer it and then they give you more information that's irrelevant and doesn't change the answer.

"CLIENT: Do you have a new number for Vendor X? They seem to have changed it.
ME: Yes, it's XXX-XXX-XXXX
CLIENT: Ok, because the number I have is disconnected and when I called it no one answered, so that's why I wondered if it had changed."

She laid the Scrabble board out on the table and brushed away all the dust bunnies and dirt clods from the last game. Everyone had warned me about her but now I knew for sure. She liked to play dirty.

Dear English Speaking Peoples, There is no such word as "agreeance". The correct term is "agreement". Make a note of it. Thank you, carry on then. Love, Mark

I prefer Cinco De Mustard, thanks

So let me get this straight: To hide from Darth Vader, Obi Wan goes to the very planet that Darth Vader grew up on, changes his first name to "Ben" and then hangs out in bars? Is it worse that he thought that would work, or that it actually did work for like 20 years?

I've read people critical of "The Hangover Part II" because they say it looks too similar to the first one. Which is just what I was thinking, you know, because if you've ever gone out drinking with your buddies, you never want to go more than once in your lifetime.

It seems like Labor Day should come before Mother's Day

If they add a head to Mount Rushmore, I think it should be Kelsey Grammer, because the most someone could be President is like eight years, but he played Dr. Frasier Crane for like 20. That's a great American right there.

I wonder if MC Hammer is doing the theme song for Thor

What's fun to do is, go into a restaurant and order something that's not on the menu, and when the waitress tells you no, just say "Don't you know who I am?!"

If anyone ever invented a new number, I think the best place to put it would be between 9 and 10

You could watch the first half of any Sylvester Stallone movie and the second half of any other one, and it would still make sense

She said I didn't have any feelings and I was like a robot, and it took me a long time to process all that

You know that missing woman named Holly Bobo? I know it's wrong but every time I hear her name I think she must be picking up the field mice and boppin' 'em on the head

I swatted a fly in my kitchen, then I pinned its tiny corpse to the wall as a warning to all the other flies so that they know what happens when they challenge me

"ME: I know you want to help, because you feel sympathy
QUINN: No, I want to help because I know how she feels
ME: That's what sympathy means"

It would be funny if there was a wedding reception where the bride stood up and made a speech about how proud she was to be taking her husband's name, and how she would always do her best to worthy of his family name, and his last name was Hooker

If my parents had named me Thor, I bet my life would have wound up completely different

If they ever make a disaster movie about how the sun breaks out of its orbit and plummets to the Earth, destroying civilization and wiping out millions, I have a great name for it: "Here Comes The Sun"

My dream is to one day start a foundation that will help teach dogs and cats to live together in peace

I think one clear indicator of success is, the longer it would take someone to train a monkey to do your job, the more successful you are. The one exception to this rule is for astronauts, but I think that just proves my point.

Maria Shriver is divorcing Scwarzenegger because she's tired of his obsession with this "Sarah Connor" woman

If I was blind and had trouble using my arms, I would get a seeing eye dog and a helper monkey, and then I would dress the helper monkey up in robes like a Jawa and have him ride the dog around like a Tauntaun and everyone would think I was a Jedi master

Muppets are cute and all as long as they're on TV, but if they were real and you saw them walking around, they would be so creepy

"QUINN: Pop, if you get married again, who will be your best man? Jorge?
ME: Probably Jesus, because the world will have ended.
QUINN: I bet He'll throw an awesome bachelor party."

Riding roller coasters, eating too much birthday cake, and getting drunk are just three different ways that a really good time is followed by vomiting. Why do we do this to ourselves?

It's easy to overlook your own faults and be sarcastic and critical all the time. That's why I do it.

If General Schwarzkopf retired and then converted to LDS to take a job heading up a team of men working the doors of nautically-themed hotels in Salt Lake City, he would be Stormin' Norman the Mormon Doorman Longshoresman Foreman

My friend Dan had this huge disgusting lump growing on his neck, it was really scaring him until the doctors did some tests and determined it was his head.

In ancient Egypt when they mummified the pharoahs, the first step was removing their brains through the nose. I bet it was an old joke every time they did it to go "AHHHHHH-CHOOO!!!" and then everyone giggled. Good times.

If a time traveler told me that I had to sacrifice myself to save millions of people in the future, I probably would, but first I'd want to know if they were millions of nice people, because I'd hate to sacrifice myself for a bunch of jerkfaces.

SOmeone called me "man" today. I think he must smoke pot.

Criminals always have street names like "knife" and they always sound like criminals. If I was a criminal, my street name would be "Kevin"

People ask me, if there is a God, why do people get sick? I just say, if there is no God, why do people get better?

If you don't feel as close to God as you once did, God isn't the one who moved

I think we should all do our part to help raise awareness about Tourette's Syndrome, and just blurt out random obscenities throughout the day

Just because your kids' doctor tells you to get REAL Sudafed, and specifies that it's the kind they keep behind the counter so that people don't use it to make Meth out of, does NOT mean that you should tell the pharmacist you want to buy the stuff that people use to make Meth

We're so glad you're feeling better after your hospital visit, Mr. Schieber. You just have to not allow yourself to get so stressed in the future. So go home, eat right, exercise, and we'll send all your bills to a collection agency.

When you try to look cool taking a picture by holding your fingers like a gun, you don't look cool. You look like a mental patient who thinks his fingers are a gun.

King Kong would have had a better ending on the West Coast. In California, they'd have taught him sign language and fingerpaints. In New York, like most tourists, he only wound up shot dead in the streets.

...And the number one Thing you never want to hear from your clergy: "There's a reason they call me Bishop Long"

When I start my own religion, the confessionals won't just have those tiny windows for people to whisper their sins through, they'll also have larger side windows so that the priests can high five people who have particularly Awesome sins to confess.

If there's ever a nuclear war and everyone goes bald, do you know who I'll feel most sorry for? The traveling cast of Hair.

If you and I ever have a contest to see who can walk over the most glass and fire, I think what I'll do is, I'll let you go first and then when you're nursing the burned and bloodied stumps that used to be your feet, I'll be like "Yeah, I don't think I can do that. You win."

I think a good movie would be "Hippy Girlfriend" about a straightlaced, by-the-book businessman who meets a hippy girl and falls in love. I would go see it.

It's sad that we live in an age where linguistics demand a plural form to the word "Apocalypse"

I'm pretty sure Quinn will be an attorney some day, as much as he loves to argue. He just needs to get better at it. And learn to shut up when the judge says "overruled"

We like to think we're civilized and claim moral superiority to ancient pagans who sacrificed their young to their gods to stave off hardship and misfortune. But every so often we remember, Oh yeah, Teenagers....I can kind of see that....

If you go on a job interview, bring a Rubik's Cube with you and tell the interviewer that you can solve it in 30 seconds. This is good to do even if you're lying, because chances are they'll believe you and then not make you do it. The only thing is, for as long as you have the job after that, you'll have to change the subject every time someone mentions a Rubik's Cube.

Maybe the rapture did happen, only no one got taken because we're all jerks.

WIth the end of the world in the news so much, I was expecting to see a lot more reporters interviewing Michael Stipe

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if David Banner got really really mad at his girlfriend, and then he turned into the Hulk, but then his girlfriend was the only one who could calm him down so that he turned back into David Banner, would he just keep turning back and forth forever as long as she was around? Do you ever think about stuff like that?

Often times, hatred and anger will bind you to a person even more than love and devotion will. Forgive for your own sake, not your enemies'.

"QUINN: Pop can you pick me up at Tylers?

ME: But you rode your bike there. Do you want me to come get you and never let you leave the house again because it's dangerous?
QUINN: I'll be home at 8"

As far as pop culture icons go, I'm sorry Sarah Palin, you're closer to Paris Hilton or Justin Bieber than Tim Pawlenty or Ron Paul. No one takes you seriously as a Presidential contender anymore. Go back to your reality TV show.

Some of the crap that my kids say to me, I not only would never have said to my dad, I would never even have said to my FRIENDS when I was a kid.

Seriously people don't post your opinions if you don't want to be challenged. And you can't demand respect to be able to say whatever you want, and then not give it to everyone else.

If there was an ancient Roman who assassinated Caesar and then fled to Tibet and hid out with some monks who didn't wear any clothes, then he would be Brutus the Buddhist Nudist

It seems like rednecks should have their own videogame called Banjo Hero

People tell me that kids need a dad AND a mom, so once a month I freak out and scream for no reason. That should cover it.

Coffee is like God's way of saying "Wake up, bitches!"

You know that song Everybody Wants To Rule the World? It's not true. I don't want to rule the world, although it would kind of be cool to rule my neighborhood. The song should be called "EVerybody Wants To Rule The World (Except Mark Who Just THinks It Might Be Kind Of Cool To Rule His Own Neighborhood)"

The worst part about accidentally causing an explosion that destroys the chemistry lab in high school would be that, on top of everything else, you would probably fail the class.

In Ohio there is a bank robber they're calling "The Mullet Bandit". In Barrow County, they would just call him "The Bandit".

You know what would be ironic? If that old Christian guy was attacked by Raptors.

When I must choose, I will choose kindness over rightness, I will serve others rather than correct their thinking, I will expand my point of view over limiting myself, and when there is no choice I will leave it up to God.

The radio station is having a "90's weekend" and in the car this morning Indy said "This music sucks! How long did the 90's last anyway?"

ABout that page that says "Proud To Be A Christian"....I thought the Bible said that pride was a sin?

One bad thing about being single is, there's no one to pay the ransom if you get kidnapped by mobsters

How others act toward me is their karma; how I act towards them is mine. I choose a path of grace and forgiveness.

I'll never be a good politician because I'm not angry enough

Before that kidnapper guy goes away to prison, I think Elizabeth Smart should be allowed to kick him right in the plums.

Just a quick note: E-I-E-I-O is not how you spell FARM. Carry on.

Not a lot of people know this but the song "All Along The Watchtower" is about Jehovah's Witnesses coming to your door

The only bad thing about doing nothing is that you never know when you're done.

If you had super powers, everything you do would be magnified: If you want to help people, you could help lots of people, and if you want to commit crimes, you could be a master criminal. In that way, I think, having super-powers would be like having lots of money, or getting really really drunk.

I think in hell they have a lot of business meetings

I want to live in a bouncy castle

"ME: Indy, get me the clothes out of the dryer so I can do another load.
INDY: Which clothes?
ME: All of them."

When I go to Fuddruckers and place my order, they ask me my name and I say "Good Looking" so then when my order is ready they yell "Hey good looking, your order is ready!"

If you really want to be right with Jesus, you won't even want Chick Fil-A on Sundays.

It seems monumentally unfair that gay people aren't allowed to get married but the Kardashians are

My wife once asked me if I thought our marriage was like a prison. I said of course not, honey. The food's better in prison.

Overheard at the Barrow County Citgo: "Don't worry if she goes deaf, they got these coca cola implants now that they use to hear with."

When I must choose between being right and being kind, I will choose kindness. When I must choose between converting people or serving people, I will serve. When I must choose between expanding my thinking or winning a debate, I will choose to grow. Because we serve a God of possibilities, a God bigger than our understanding of Him.

To a cat, if you can buy cat food and set it out for cats to eat, you are the most interesting and talented person in the universe. Cats.

If you meet a woman over the age of 25 or 30 and you're supposed to already know her name and you have one of those awkward moments thinking "What should I call her?", just call her Jennifer. There's a pretty good chance that that's her name.

More good news: I just got a call from a car dealership telling me that my 2007 Volvo was overdue for service. I'm taking this to mean that I have a 2007 Volvo that I forgot about. So my car problems are solved.

Today someone said "How are you doing?" and I thought wow she must really like me and I imagined having a relationship with her and getting to know her kids and all the problems we would overcome together, so I told her how I was doing but it turns out she wasn't talking to me, she was talking to someone else. Boy, was I embarrassed.

Last night I met some homeless people who literally ride freight trains around the country. I wasn't afraid of them though, because I'm not hobophobic.

QUINN: WHat woman? She was in my confirmation class.
ME: You're grounded."

Had to explain to a 5 year old that putting a baby in a sling is not the same as putting a baby in a slingshot

I don't give my kids a lot of BS rules for no reason other than it's what I tell them, I believe in setting boundaries and letting kids make their own choices and then living with the consequences of those choices (just like the real world), not just teaching right from wrong but how to choose one over the other.

I bet everyone of the Goonies grew up depressed and alcoholic because the whole rest of their lives were 1000x less exciting then that one time they found pirate treasure in 1985

I love Diet Dr. Pepper so much that if they started putting cocaine in it, I wouldn't even notice, I would still keep drinking it just as much as I do now.

Came to my parents house, talked to my grandmom for like 15 minutes, went downstairs, my brother walked in, saw my grandmom and said "Mark is downstairs" and she said "Oh, is he?" It must be nice to have a day so full of surprises.

Sometimes I'm so funny that it's beyond the range of the human sense of humor and only dogs get my jokes

If I post a song on my FB that's a love song, it doesn't mean I'm in love, any more than posting a link to "Bohemian Rhapsody" would mean that I've killed a man and I'm sitting on death row.

If you're not happy, money doesn't mean anything. On the other hand, it doesn't suck.

It makes sense that the guy on The Bachelor would hand out roses, but I think on the Bachelorette she should hand out wrenches or remote controls or big sandwiches

Dear Ex-Wife, I don't know how to tell you this, but just because you haven't seen your kids for two years doesn't mean they've stopped aging. You may want to consider that before you buy them toys and videos for the summer. P.S. Sending a package every 3 or 4 months doesn't make up for all the time you're missing.

Quinn is worried about starting high school. I told him to find the biggest, toughest guy there and shank him, then no one will mess with you. Oh, wait, no, that's for prison. Sorry.

Yesterday Quinn had chili dogs for supper and as far as I know that's the first time he's ever had chili dogs. Also he asked me if he could go to Vacation Bible School at the Baptist church. I'm thinking he's been replaced by a duplicate.

Watching five politicians debate who could best run the country is like watching five guys on the deck of the Titanic debate who could best captain the ship

I had a dream about WIlly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, instead of Oompa Loompas he used the apes from Planet of The Apes to make his candy. Weird.

In a world beset by tsunamis, earthquakes, terrorists, revolution, human trafficking, poverty and war, it's hard to imagine that there are royals in palaces who would still be shocked to see what fork I eat salad with.

I like it that there's a thing in the news called the Weiner Scandal, I don't even care about the details or who did what

I am so sick of people being outraged!!! Down with outrage!!

I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia.

I don't get why they call themselves "Whole Foods" like what's the alternative, "Food Parts"?

Voldemort better hope his eyes don't go bad because he'll never be able to wear glasses

DOn't walk in front of me, I may not follow. DOn't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk beside me, you smell funny.

She told me her new boyfriend treats her like a Queen, and I said "Oh really, does he defer to you in everything and never express his opinions, and does he divert his eyes when in your presence, does he bow to you and does he always have to taste your food before you eat? He sounds like a GREAT boyfriend!"

Today I was thinking, if Conan the Barbarian and Tarzan got in a fight, who would win? And then I thought, would it really matter?

"ME: Indy, wipe up that Splenda you just spilled
INDY: It's artificial, it won't attract ants
ME: It attracts robot ants
INDY: Ok"

LADY: Google Maps? Are you on drugs?"

A couple years ago, a guy I know needed $200 and I gave it to him, told him to just pay it forward when he knew someone who needed it, and I forgot about it. Today, I needed $200 and I happened to ask the same guy if I could pay him back next week. He reminded me of it, and the money came back to me. So today, my name is Earl.

"INDY: Pop, why do people always say ""gay and lesbian""?
ME: I think gay is a dude who likes dudes, and a lesbian is a woman who likes women
QUINN: Is there a name for a person who doesn't like anyone?
INDY: Yeah, it's ""Mom"""

ME: It's this show where these guys watch old movies and make sarcastic comments all the way through.
INDY: It's like watching TV with you."

When I see a sign that says Caution: Children Playing, I think they must be evil children, or they wouldn't be warning us to be afraid of them.

Whenever someone asks me to do something I don't want to do, I just tell them that I don't concern myself with the affairs of Earthlings.

If they ever do a show about guys who make meatloaf, I want to be on it.

At 20 I was writing out my lifeplan on a posterboard but the permanent marker squeaking gave me a headache and I quit. I've just been winging it ever since.

"ME: New job, almost debt free...now all I have to do is get a car, and I can finally afford a girlfriend....
ERNIE: I think there are places you can go to get the car and the girlfriend at the same time"

Quinn is so angry. He really needs a mom. Not his actual mom, but a nice mom.

I'm not afraid of committment, unless it's to a mental institution. Maybbe that's what they mean by The Institution of Marriage.

Seriously can we all at least spell the word "the" correctly?

Today I prayed with some Muslims

If Tarzan joined the Beatles, the song "I Me Mine" would be "Tarzan Tarzan Tarzan's". Because Tarzan never uses pronouns. See what I did there?

Remember that episode of Gilligan's Island where Santa Claus came to the island? I hate that he didn't bring them a two-way radio or something. Bastard.

I am accepting of people of all colors, races, genders, religions and creeds. I think so at least. I don't know what ''creed'' means.

The haircut lady asked Indy if his mom would be surprised by his haircut. Indy said yes, she still thinks I'm 5 years old.

Eternity isn't where you go when you die, it's the choices you make everyday. Faith is not what you believe, it's how you live. Choose well and be awesome!!

How do we know that the moon isn't an egg laid by a giant space bird and when it hatches the baby space chick willl swallow the Earth?

There should be a reality show where random people get beat up for no reason. It would be about as entertaining as some of these others on TV now

''We had lamb for dinner and took a long walk then watched a movie. Everyone had a great night, except the lamb,''

We could all learn a lesson from dogs. Some of us can learn loyalty, and some of us can learn not to hump everything in the room.

Two very white, blonde people got on the train, the chick said ''Stussa?'' and the dude said ''Doodah''. I think they're messing with me, that's not a language.

Why do crazy people always get 100 cats? It seems like for that money you could get something awesome like 5 parrots or a monkey

The craziest people on TV are on Bigfoot Hunters on Animal Planet. If there really is a bigfoot, they're insane for chasing it through the woods in the middle of the night. And if there's not, they're even more insane for chasing it through the woods in the middle of the night.

I bet a good way to catch criminals would be to pretend that there's a Department of Evil, and then when people apply to work there, BAM!!! Lock them up!!!

It doesn't seem right that parrots can talk but eagles can't. I bet eagles have more interesting things to say.

I tape every episode of the show Hoarders and stack all the tapes up in my living room

I like going on Ask.com and typing in questions like ''Who is that guy?'' or ''Why are we here?''

Plato postulated that humans were born with 4 arms, 4 legs and 2 faces, and Zeus was threatened by their power and thus slit them in 2, so that they spent their lives trying to complete themselves, thus the idea of "soul mates".

There's a walk to end Alzheimer's? Aren't they afraid people will wander off?

In 1921, Karl Jung published his first work on "The Shadow", that aspect of the human psyche that we choose not to declare as our own. Others have proposed that we manifest that shadow, bringing it to life by projecting it onto others. This way we disown all unwanted evils, making ourselves superior in the eyes of our God, while also giving us a physical evil that we can villify and derogate.

If Spider-Man had a baby he would never be able to spank it because its spider sense would warn it of the spanking

The kids on Harry Potter seem completely unprepared for everything that happens

I don't think monkeys are necessarily optimistic about the future, I think they just don't care one way or another

As much as I hate roaches, at least they have the decency to run away when you turn the light on. They know they're not supposed to be there. Ants don't even care, when you walk in the room ants just run around like state-hired construction workers, not caring who sees what they're doing. I'm surprised they don't have orange vests and hardhats on.

Rhode Island isn't an island. It's just one more way our government is lying to us.

Imagine how much could be accomplished if people stopped caring who got the credit.

When blind people break up, do they decide to see other people/

Suffering is at once universal and utterly intimate, and yet the one aspect of our being that should bind us instead divides and isolates. Act with kindness and compassion, and suffering is diminished.

I think a good reality show would be ''Extreme Shoplifting''

The worst part of planning a superhero convention would be all the special bathroom needs, like all the newspapers for Hawkman and special ventilation for the Hulk. Crazy.

You can't be a badass when you use the word "anyhoo"

Saying Obama's doing a good job so far is like saying the Captain of the Titanic did a great job getting his ship to the iceberg

After a lot of prayer and thoughtful contemplation, I've reached a major life decision: I'm going to start calling people "broheim"

They say you really have a problem if you find yourself drinking alone, but to me the red flag would be when you find yourself vomiting in front of a whole bunch of people

If there's a fake name you use when writing, that's a pseudonym. If there's a fake name you use for going to gay bars, that's your homonym.

Better to live one day seeking God than 100 years running from Him

I just called the boss "broheim"

Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name was Roosevelt

I told the crackhead on the MARTA train that he was hallucinating me

Joined eharmony and wasn't getting much interest so I changed my occupation from "data coordinator" to "waging a one-man war on crime". Let's see what happens:

The lady in the cube next to me is so pretty I want to give her all my money, move her in with me so she can complain and criticize until I'm ground into a tiny nub beneath the heel of her boot and my kids hate me and run away. Why do people always think I have issues?

Obama is a Picard, getting input and compromising to build a consensus. Good qualities, but what we need is a Kirk, who can identify problems before they happen and come up with solutions on the fly.

I'm opening a charity to acccept donations of toilet paper for disadvantaged teens who can't afford to roll each other's houses

You know what's weird to think about? The Wonder Years came on in 1990 and it was about a kid growing up in 1970. If they made the show today it would be about a kid growing up in 1990. I'm so old.

Henry "Lighthorse Harry" Lee served as a cavalry officer under George Washington, and Martha Washington's granddaughter Mary Custis married Lee's son, Robert E. Lee. Lee's contemporary in the Virginia Calvary, George Smith Patton, was the grangfather of WWII General George S. Patton III

The worst job in Bedrock would be the bird in the proctologist's office he uses for colonoscopies

I love watching a three minute movie preview and still not knowing what the movie is about

In the car on the way home from watching Planet of the Apes, Indy asked me, "Why did they run tests on apes but not dogs?"

Whenever someone tells me they're psychic, I like to pretend that they said "sidekick" because that's funny

Going to the Barrow Wal Mart is kind of like Planet of The Apes. Except with rednecks, and they're not smart like apes.

George Washington's dentures were not made of wood, but ivory. As it ages, ivory forms rings in it's surface like wood, which is where the misconception originates.

Pierre Boulle was believed fo be a collaborator in Occupied France, and critics said his 1963 novel "Planet of The Apes" was meant as a cautionary tale about a society that allows "undesirables" to take over.

Hearing Obama talk about the economy is like hearing Charles Manson talk about home security systems

The boss said we had 294 enclosures to migrate, but the database listed only six, so I said, 294 divided by 6 is 49, and that's 7-squared, so I bet there are 7x7 sectors on the floor with 6 enclosures each....and he said, no, I was just guessing at a number, but that was a pretty good try....

My phone has a genius button but I don't think I'm qualified to press it

Laughing too loud is worse than not laughing at all

Can I get an ice cream for my little friend?

OK...Here's your ice cream.

If a ninja was fighting a vampire he could throw a piece of garlic toast just like a throwing star

If God were a person or object we could identify and measure, He would be that forever, limited to what we see and hear. God is unknowable and immeasurable and forever beyond understanding. The miracle is in how He reveals Himself, not in how we see Him.

Would The Rock beat Edward Scissorhands?

Atlanta is never hit with natural disasters because God loves me too much

Have you ever noticed that every time someone foils a robbery or saves someone in an emergency or catches a criminal, it's ALWAYS an off-duty police officer? I bet if all officers were off-duty all the time, there wouldn't be any crime.

Ok I got it: The Paperboys get in a barfight and they beat up Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but then before their concert they're attacked by Edward Scissorhands, until The Rock comes in and saves them.

It's weird that Labor Day comes after Mother's Day

I usually operate under the assumption that no one's life is as messed up as mine

The stories we tell about the stuff we used to do wouldn't be nearly as funny if we left out the part about how drunk we all were. In fact, they would sound pretty stupid.

It would be really helpful if women changed different colors based on their moods. How about it, science?

I always tell my kids, Don't give up. They tell me to stop saying it, but I can't, because that would be giving up.

My ex wife hated Hooters. She said they exploited women with the waittresses only half-dressed. But I'm an optimist. I like to think of them as half-naked.

I found a bunch of old CD's that I thought I'd lost the last time I moved, and some of them are very rare like The Beat Farmer's "Poor & Famous" and the Monk's "Bad Habits". SO COOL!! So Indy came in and said "Do you have to play that so loud?" and I said "Hey, man, all you young folks are bringing me down, man! You just don't get my generation!"

I've never faced death, really, other than the 12 years I was married to her

If someone tells you that they have psychic powers and can see the future, kick them in the nuts. Then say "Did you know I was going to do that?"

Tolerance is easy when you don't give a crap

14 year old logic states that a kid can play XBox for four hours a day, not do his homework, lose his book, and it's my fault how unfair I am for taking away his XBox.

In the original Jurassic Park, there were chromosomal sequences missing from the dinosaur DNA, so they filled in the gaps with frog DNA. This was a key plot point, since it allowed the dinosaurs to reproduce. My theory is that the same thing happened to Barney the Dinosaur, only instead of frogs they used Richard Simmons' DNA.

I'm going to start a business called Cat-O-Gram where you can send a bunch of hungry, feral cats to be delievered to someone you don't like

I have a blanket that's been prayed over by monks and nuns and like that. Some Catholics brought it to me when I was in the hospital. I wash it on gentle so I don't wash away the prayers and stuff. I think that's what Jesus would do.

A good name for a country song: "She Loves Me When She's Drinking"

You know what would be good right now? A big steaming cup of SHUT THE HELL UP

Whenever someone says "Pardon me for living" I say "That's ok just don't let it happen again" and whenever someone says "What, are you writing a book?" I say "Yes it's called 'Day of The Dumbass' and you're chapter one."

Among the Apostles were Matthew, a Sadducee who was viewed by mainstream Israelites as a Roman collaborator, Simon the Zealot, who under any other circumstances would have killed Matthew, and Paul, a Pharisee who would have looked down his nose at both of them. Yet they were united in Christ, and never once did Jesus admonish them or instruct them to change their politics. This teaching that "Scripture is clear" on any political issue is inaccurate and divisive: When Christ was faced with political issues His answer was always "What has this to do with Me?" He wouldn't involve Himself, instead shifting the focus to His Father's work. There is room in God's Kingdom for everyone who seeks Him, just as there was room at the Apostle's table.

She told me she had a B.S. in Child Development. I told her any parent with teenagers has a B.S. in Child Development.

1 John 3:17-18 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

One day all your dreams will come true. And when that day comes, I just hope that you don't find yourself speaking in front of a large group of people and then suddenly realize that you're naked. Because I have that dream sometimes. I hate that one.

I heard a preacher saying how Wicca was the work of the Devil. I didn't want to take any chances, so I burned all my patio furniture.

When I was in high school we didn't worry about girls falling in love with werewolves or vampires. We did have breakdancers, though.

Rant:: A popular Christian website has not banned me from posting comments because apparently their webmasters "routinely" delete any comments that they feel "don't further a sense of unity among believers". In other words, do NOT challenge the Christian webmasters or their followers to actually think for themselves!!!

If everyone who claimed to be at Woodstock was actually at Woodstock, the earth would have shifted on it's axis from the weight of all those people in one spot

If there's a high school where Bigfoot teenagers go, I bet all the yearbook pictures are grainy and out-of-focus and taken from a long distance away.

It's a bad date when she feels the need to call her girlfriend and tell her what an ass you are. It's a really bad date when she does it while you're still sitting right there at the table with her.

I hate it when the MARTA drivers are all cheery. This is why Kathy Lee Gifford doesn't work for mass transit. Shut up and let us sleep.

Co-workers in the next aisle were discussing Hannibal Lecter and one of them suddenly says "Hey, where are we having lunch today?" Watch out, co-worker number two.

To live without expectation means accepting people at face value without trust or suspicion, and being neither surprised nor disappointed; it means that promises and vows mean nothing when they're made, only when they're kept; it means being open to the possibilites each day prresents, and that kindness and compassion are ends unto themselves regardless of gratitude or recognition.

An eye for an eye was not meant to be what God required of us for the sake of justice. It was meant to be a limit as to how much we were allowed, to put a end to escalating blood-feuds that went on for generations. It was never a substitute for mercy or forgiveness.

No matter what their beliefs are, or their color or their politics or religion, no matter what they look like or how they talk, I firmly believe that almost everyone should be treated with dignity and respect.

I don't worry about people viewing my personal information on Facebook. If someone wants to steal my identity, they can have it.

I had to explain to someone today that seven is not seven percent of seven hundred, it's one percent. Forty-nine is seven percent of seven hundred. The person asked me where did I learn to do that in my head? I said fourth grade.

The woman in the parking deck asked if I needed to be validated. I told her I don't need a woman to validate me.

I heard about a movie called Human Centipede so I went online and read a summary of the plot, and now I wish I could go back in time and stop myself from doing that.

The best thing about not drinking is that you very, very seldom get the urge to call your ex-girlfriends. I don't know why AA doesn't sell that more.

My boys have learned all of their housekeeping skills from me, and our house is like a college dorm. If they ever get married, I think their wives will hate me. On the other hand, they are prepared for higher learning.

If there was a Christian superhero team, they could be called the Ten Commandos

That Nigerian guy who tried to smuggle a bomb onto a plane in his underwear should be called The Skidmark Bomber

If I was Catholic I would name my kid Neal, and if I was Baptist I would name my kid Duncan

The thing about Bluetooth is you can no longer tell who's talking to their friends and who's talking to invisible martians that only they can hear. It's the great equalizer

Someone watched the original Footloose and said to themselves, "Yeah, that's a lame movie but it's not quite lame enough." And then they decided to remake it.

If you have a pet lizard who is surly and unresponsive and you just can't get along with him, that's a classic case of A Reptile Dysfunction

If I had to choose between true love and a million dollars, I would choose the money, because you can fake love.

I propose a radical new form of therapy that will likely be of great benefit to many whose issues don't respond well to traditional therapies. It's called GET OVER IT and is followed up by a regimen of SHUT THE HELL UP.

I used to want a woman who looked good in Daisy Dukes. These days I'd settle for one who didn't mind my looking like Boss Hogg.

You know that show Who's The Boss? That's me. I'm the boss. Deal with it.

If I ever go to prison, I won't join one of those violent, racist gangs: I'll start my own gang of nice people called HFTPG (Happy Fun Time Prison Gang). And we'll have bake sales instead of riots, and we'll get tattoos of smiley faces, and we'll be anti-gay rape but also careful not to judge homosexuals for being different. And if we can just make one violent felon's life easier, it'll all be worth it.

If you go into a job interview and they ask you where do you see yourself in 5 years, a good thing to say is "Four and a half years sober, at least". That shows that you know how to set goals.

If you have an elderly relative or family friend who announces that they've decided to include you in their will, the polite thing to do would be to throw them a surprise party, late at night, and invite everyone you know, as a special thank you.

Cheer up, no matter how bad things look now, good times are just around the corner! HA HA just kidding life sucks get over it.

There are some people to whom you will always be the worst thing you ever did. They will echo back to you the most hurtful thing you ever said, and a thousand victories will never outweigh even your smallest failure, and you will never be right enough to undo your wrongs. If you give any thought to these people at all, pray for them, and then go on with your life, acheive, and be awesome.

Angus T. Jones, Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Tom Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg could make a movie together and call it "Five And A Half Men And A Baby"

Sometimes people only believe because they want to. It's not because of revelation, or evidence, or because they gain anything from it. It's just because they choose to, and sometimes it's difficult. It's the same way for people who don't believe, and that's why it's pointless to argue.

If God made man from the dust of the earth, it should be against our religion to use Pledge. We could be wiping up our ancestors.

It would be really ironic if scientists found out that a fear of getting cancer caused cancer.

She asked me if I could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would I have dinner with? Stupid question. How could you have dinner with someone if you're dead?

Gave a homeless dude $5 two weeks ago. Saw the same homeless dude today and he remembered me and gave me a MARTA Breeze card, said he hardly ever uses MARTA so I was like, ok cool. Just checked it online and it has $52 on it. Score.

Once I got in an argument with this chick who said there was only one way to look at things. I told her there was more than one way to look at things, and finally she said it all depends on how you look at things, and so we both won. But I won.

Ever since my friend Patricia married John Hearn, she just doesn't know how to act. That's why we call her the Pat Hearn of Bad Behavior.

A friend warns you when you have a bad idea, and helps you up when you ultimately fail. A real friend doesn't say anything and then laughs when you fall on your face. Or, wait, no, that's a family member. Nevermind.

She told me my whole life was a joke. Yes, I think an awesome joke that you tell everyone you know.

The guy in the cube across from me looks like an Indian version of the dorky Japanese guy on Heroes

On average, married men live ten years longer than their unmarried peers, whether they want to or not.

EVeryone tells you that 50% of marriages end in divorce. What they don't tell you is that 90% of divorces end in AWESOME!!!

Sometimes people say "I don't care" when what they really mean is "I care more than anything else on earth but I don't want to appear weak or vulnerable." It's kind of sad.

My favorite character in Autumn In New York is the tumor that killed Winona Ryder

If I disappeared, would the world notice I was gone? Because if the world disappeared, I would notice it was gone.

Freedom of speech means that your expression is protected from the government, not from your own stupidity

Dr. Phil says "I've been doing this show for ten years and things are just getting worse and worse." Really, Dr. Phil? Maybe you're the problem.

The beauty of life is our utter sameness; that we all grieve in the same way, we all love, we all value justice and compassion. And yet we're all different and unique, with our own talents and passions and gifts. It is in this universe of equal parts order and chaos that we recognize the enormity of God and His creation.

Remember when we used to give a crap?

You know how there's that ringtone that only teenagers can hear? My voice is kind of like that, because my kids don't seem to hear anything I say.

I know that electricity is real because I have lights and appliances that run on it. I know that radio waves are real because I have a receiver that translates them into sound. I know that God is real because I have a spirit that seeks Him and recognnizes Him.

All of your self-destructive and dysfunctional relationships have one thing in common, and that's you.

Justin Bieber should lend his name to a cartoon about a Beaver superhero and call it "Justin Bieber the Justice Beaver"

They say that when you die, you'll be wishing that you had more time to spend with your family. You won't wish you had worked more, or made more money. Although either of those things will probably look better to you than dying.

If the top minds in history and archaeology announced tomorrow that they could prove every word of the New Testament, that every person really lived and every miracle actually performed, if biologists and geologists confirmed everything from creation to the flood to the parting of the Red Sea....none of it would further the Kingdom of God more than a single life lived in humility and dedicated to God's service.

This weekend I heard someone say "I'm sorry, but I am NOT apologizing!"

People tell me I should be more of an optimist, and that makes me sad because I'm kind of old to go to eye doctor school.

If you get kicked out of stage magician school, you become diisillusioned

The first 4 hours of work go by quickly and seem more like 2 hours. The last 4 go by slowly and seem like 8 hours. So I feel like I should be getting paid for 10. And that's not my opinion, it's just math. You can't argue with math.

If you really love shampoo and that's all you ever put in your hair, then you love unconditionally.

You know why guys think single women are all dangerously insane. Because women are dangerously insane.

Every time God closes a door He opens a window. That's in case He accidentally locks Himself out of Heaven.

The truth is that everyone is their own religion, whether we acknowledge it or not. We talk about unity as if there's safety in numbers, but in the end we all face God alone.

News channels that say "Send us in your pictures and videos and we'll put them on the air" are really saying "Do our job for us and don't get paid."

How I Met Your Mother is a chick show pretending to be a guy show

Everyone should set aside one night every week to be spontaneous

Christ didn't send His followers to win arguments or persuade non-believers by debating science and history. He didn't establish an elite group of believers to live apart from humanity and promote their own agenda. Rather, Christ's message was always inclusive and broadly defined by kindness and compassion, humility and service to others.

From the moment we are born we begin to die

Everything you've heard is true

Once you've accepted your own mortality and faced the harsh reality that death could claim you at any moment, things like watching TV just seem stupid

I think if Dr. Phil has ever actually helped anyone with his show, it was just by accident

Christina Applegate is the most under-rated talent in the world right now. Great actress and really hot and very funny. She's the perfect woman.

Whoever thought of putting a cookie inside a candy bar should win the Nobel Prize for candy, and share it with the person who put a pretzel inside an M+M

I just blocked someone on Facebook. I really think that what this person was doing was almost stalking me, literally. Now supposedly she can't see or interact with me on Facebook ever again.

When I work from home I can either work all day in my pajamas or I can decide what I'm going to wear tomorrow and then just sleep in it. Kind of like when I used to drink, except then it wasn't really a decision I made, it was just something that happened organically

YOu know all those people who always say that they'll be here for you? Where do you think they mean when they say "here"? Because I can never find any of them.

YOu know that song "Amie" by Pure Prairie League? I always wondered if they were singing "I think I could stay with you" or "I think a guy could stay with you"

Ancient Canaanites considered Mount Carmel to be a sacred place. Probably because of the awesome apples they grew there.

If all lawyers and judges were mimes and everything had to be acted out in court like charades, I bet people wouldn't sue each other so much. Does anyone else ever think about stuff like this?

Monday morning coming up. Back to the rat race. And those rats are really fast and hungry.

Life is short, so never be afraid to tell someone that you love them. Unless it's just some random chick you don't even know who you think is hot, because that's just creepy.

YOu know those Family Life courses in High School where you have to carry around an egg and pretend it's a baby? They should have an advanced class where you have to carry around a rabid, feral cat and pretend it's a teenager.

Every year at this time I make a special effort to thank all the vets for the freedoms we enjoy. And every year they escort me out of the animal hospital and tell me not to "harrass" them anymore.

If you sit next to me in the breakroom talking the whole time Jeopardy is on, don't try to be my friend later.

Take a moment today and just enjoy the fact that you're my friend. It's a Markday miracle. A little gift from me to you.

If someone says they're too busy to return a call or even answer a text message and then suddenly announces they're in a fantastic new relationship, or if someone says they desperately need help and so you offer to help and then they ignore you, or just generally don't even acknowledge you for months on end...why the heck would they act all offended or upset if you took them off your Facebook list?? People are so stupid.

Whenever someone dies people always say they were full of life. As far as I can tell that just means they were alive before they died.

There is a youngish looking lady with glasses and long auburn hair reading a book across from me on the train and I LOVE HER!! If this was a shampoo commercial we would connect and she would write her number on the window. Of course I would be 20 and I'd have hair. Oh well there she goes. Bye.

You can't expect people to like you when you make no effort to be likable. You can't expect loyalty from people you overlook.

OK you know that guy that's always just THERE no matter what, who everyone just kind of thinks of as back-up but no one really respects, and you calll him if you need something or if there's nothing else to do, but otherwise don't really think about? It's been suggested that I might be that guy.

I know not what weapons will be used to fight WW3, but I do know how we'll fight WW4, using genetically-altered midgets who shoot lasers from their eyes, armed with flamethrowers and super jet-packs ~Albert Einstein

A good movie would be where a class-action litigator, a mime and a ventriliquist were all caught on an elevator and the rescue team had to decide which one to save last. It would be kind of like Catch 22 except the opposite of that.

YOu know how at the beginning of a superhero movie, the guy will just be walking around like normal, not realizing he has super-powers until he's in danger of being hurt really bad? Teenagers are like the exact opposite of that.

My favorite character in the Twilight Series is not Edward or Jacob, it's whoever it was that almost ran Bella over with his truck

All those people that everyone calls grumpy have probably been disappointed too many times by life. Or just really tired.

I love the show Parks and Recreation. If you're not watching it you need to stop watching TV altogether because you have no TV watching talent.

The first time I ate a waffle it made me wonder why anyone would ever eat anything other than waffles and I think if world leaders just sat down together and just ate waffles we could all agree on the wafflish awesomeness of waffles and there would be no more poverty or war. We could build spaceships and eat waffles forever.

I'm worried that if this "personhood" thing passes then it will be counted as child abuse to squeeze a person through a tiny hole

Sometimes I call my own number and leave a message saying I love you. Some people think that's pathetic, but I really do love me. And let's face it, everyone needs to hear it.

Lexus claims they don't have Crash Test Dummies, because they stress test over a bajillion data points, theirs are called Crash Test GENIUSES. But I don't think a genius would be on the inside of the car.

I love it when I tell a teenager to do someting and he doesn't do it and then actually tries to convince me that I didn't say to him the words that I myself said, like I'm the one out of the two of us who would have forgotten, like I just love conflict so much that I would make it up? What is wrong with these kids?

No amount of money that I've ever had has ever made me happy, but thhat doesn't mean that a whole bunch more wouldn't do the trick.

If someone doesn't even know that the star Vega is 26 light years from Earth, then they're probably lying when they tell you that they're Vegan.

I have two friends angry at me for not taking sides in a gossip war, and my two teenage kids got in a screaming match over a bag of Sunchips, and just now I was thinking this is not where I wanted my life to be at 45 years of age

The new guy on Bones has a horrible, horrible fake Southern accent. As bad as Jodie Foster's in Silence of The Lambs.

I love getting my comforter out of the dryer and taking a nap. It's like laying on top of a hundred feverish kittens.

You can take the average human's nerve ending and stretch them out all the way from New York to San Francisco. Most likely, however, he would die in a horrific amount of pain.

They say that the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. And a lawyer, too.

The Buddhist believes that we cause our own suffering by expecting things, whether they're possessions or relationships or power and prestige, to bring us happiness. It's not that we desire the wrong things, but that we desire things at all. Further, we not only live in willful ignorance of these tendencies but we avoid situations that might enlighten us, such as clinging to destructive relationships or refusing to give up possessions. These are called Attachment, Ignorance, and Aversion. Mindfulness is the key to ending suffering.

A year or so ago I had a discussion right here on FB about how all movies would be improved by adding Klingons, and one I suggested was "A Good Day To Die Hard" because as any Trekkie knows that's a common Klingon expression "a good day to die"...well now they're making Die Hard 5 and guess what the title is? A Good Day To Die Hard!!! I wonder if it'll have Klingoons in it?

If I was a scientist a goood experiment would be to put Jello in space. I don't know what it would prove but it would be fun

I think the thing that makes TV characters so much more interesting than us is that they don't spend hours and hours watching TV

Everyone is unique, but I like to think that I am uniquer than most people

Someone told me they notice I talk to everyone the same, cops and waitresses and co-workers and homeless people all the same. I guess they meant that in a good way.

I would never name my kid Maureen, because when we go to war the Maureens are the first ones that get deployed

I like how, on TV, grown people tell lies, and then have to set up an elaborate plan to convince people that it's true - like they have to pretend that they're married or that they're rich. I've never done that, but I bet it would be fun.

Whenever anyone says that you're "sitting there" doing something, it's always something bad. You're sitting there blaming someone else or you're sitting there doing nothing. You're never sitting there curing cancer, or sitting there making life better. So never sit.

I believe that no matter what their situation or what they look like or how much money they make, what clothes they wear, or their language or religion, almost everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, with absolutely very few exeptions.

The thing about the Incredible Hulk is, at least you don't have to guess what he's thinking or feeling

Why is it when someone has a profoundly moving experience and they feel like posting about it on FB, but not say what happened? Stuff like "Yesterday my life was changed forever and I felt like a raccoon in a trash bin! I know you can't read this but thank you Maria for just being you!" What is the point of that? EVeryone can see it but apparently the only person who would understand it can't read it. Someone enlighten me.

I think the next Survivor should be at the abandoned railyard/loading dock/homeless encampment underneath the CNN Center on Marietta Street

The laziest creatures on Earth are trees. They've even evolved the ability to feed themselves by sucking food right from the ground, so that they never have to move or think. Stupid, lazy trees.

I am deleting Facebook friends who contribute nothing to society, and by society I mean my own personal entertainment

If there was a Russian versions of the Jetsons, they would be the Jetskis.

A good reality show would be one where celebrity contestants have to make the best cupcakes and then have a dance-off while modeling

Waiting for the Terra Nova / Flintstones crossover

You cannot build a lasting relationship just on the fact that a woman is hot. It's one of the things that makes the universe so unfair.

YOu know how people say that ghosts are the spirits of people who died? Why do they always make spooky sounds and open and close doors? Maybe they're the spirits of people who are jerks. They could at least clean up your kitchen for you or make your bed. Jerks.

YOu know that book The Giving Tree? It should be called The Codependent Tree.

You love me. Admit it, and we can both get on with our lives.

If your job was to inspect buildings in Germany to see how much damage was caused by rats, then your job would be to determine German vermin

If you were a war veteran it would be pretty traumatizing to wake up to the sound of Quinn and his friends playing whatever video game they're playing in the room directly beneath me.

My friend Arthur does impressions of board games. The best one is when Art imitates Life.

It would be funny if there was a clown funeral and they just kept pulling coffins out of the back of the hearse. To me it would, anyway, because I don't like clowns.

The expression is "Rub your nose in it" and not "Rub it in your nose"

The release of Snow White and The Huntsman has to be delayed because all the other Republicans will demand equal time.

In fiction, the Devil offers you a contract and takes your soul in exchange for power and money and control. In reality, we carry around bitterness and prejudice and venom and we get nothing for it.

If you want to see the new Twilight movie but haven't caught up on the previous films, I'll sum up the storyline for you: A boring girl does stupid things and guys like her for no reason. Also there are monsters.

When I was a kid everything was so much bigger, and people were a lot taller than they are now.

Do what is right, despite how you feel. Expect nothing. Desire nothing. Give what you have. Take what is given with grace.

I was never a "glass half full" kind of guy. I just drank straight from the bottle.

The ex used to have a tradition where we all sat down Thanksgiving morning and watched The Sound of Music. It's a tradition I've tried to keep alive, only our favorite holiday movie is the first Die Hard.

"ME: ""Quinn, get up we have to go to Grandmom's""
QUINN: ""This is what I've been telling you, I don't like it when you spring things on me like this.""
ME: ""THanksgiving comes every year at the same time, I'm sorry you didn't see it coming."""

My life is so wonderful and I enjoy so many blessings that if I had just one wish during this magical season of giving and sharing, it would be for absolute power over every living being in the entire universe

They say dogs can smell fear. Also, based on my personal observation, cats can smell desperate loneliness

I bet the first course at the Last Supper was the Render Unto Caesar Salad

When someone tells me I'm no longer relevant, I like to imagine they said no longer ELEPHANT, and I laugh and laugh, because who says stuff like that? Idiot.

Sometimes I like to take a good long look in the mirror and just reflect. You know, in the mirror. Give it a minute.

I made chili that is so hot that it will not only kill you to eat it, but the forensic scientists who do the autopsy on you will conclude that you were killed by a blowtorch that blasted out from the inside of your head.

A good super-power to have would be the ability to always make small talk that people find interesting.

Religion tells us why we're here and how we arrived. The religious person adheres to a standard of behavior and uniformity of thought and belief. Spirituality accepts the universe as unknowable. The spiritual person embraces diversity and celebrates the individual while requiring nothing.

Everywhere they traveled to preach the Gospel, Jesus's apostles would open restaurants with an all-you-can-eat loaves and fishes bar

The lesser evil is the one we recognize and battle against; the greater evil is the one we become while doing so

Greater trust has no man than a blind person for his barber

If I was going to write a book of crockpot recipes for Christians, I would call it "What Would Jesus Stew?"

When people express opinions based on limited information or are simply misinformed, I encourage them to investigate, examine the issue from a different perspective, and the SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

It's a fine line between reserving judgement and just not giving a crap

I wish I could have just one day of not worrying or being anxious or having homeless people look at me weird. That last thing isn't related, I just don't like it.

If you think a woman would be flattered by a guy raving on and on about how hot her identical twin sister is, you would be wrong. Turns out, they hate that.

New Zealand is Australia's Canada, and Ireland is England's Alabama

If you say you believe something but you don't live it, if you say love but you judge people, if you ask forgiveness but you don't forgive, if you talk about equality but don't give of yourself or treat people equally, then that's not what you believe. Thinking that something is true is not the same as believing.

When Bruce Wayne goes to work, who does he tell people is beating him up at home every night?

I just now thought of something. Clark Kent walking around minding his business with x-ray eyes could tell just with a glance who has cancer and tumors and stuff, and can't tell anyone. What a bastard. He could save more lives that way I bet than by lifting up trains and buses.

Be yourself because those who matter don't mind and those who mind suck

No matter how awesome your phone is, or how fast the network you're on or how great your data plan is, it still doesn't make what you have to say any more interesting.

If you really really hate your life and nothing seems to help, there's only one thing you can do, and that is post about it on Facebook all the time. That'll help.

A good business would be a combination Family Therapist's office and Shooting Range

Twin sisters June and May headed a prominent Southern family named Knotts in a small Tennessee town, and May was even elected Mayor one year. Jealous, everywhere June went that year she heard people saying "That may or may not be Mayor May Knotts."

There is an inverse relationship between how often a guy can eat at Hooters and how attractive he will be to Hooters waitresses

I don't know for sure, but I bet homeless people really like that song "Cars" by Gary Numan, because it's a song about a guy who lives in his car

The Buddhist believes that anger only leads to more anger, and the only way to peace is to release anger. Denying one's anger is to live in ignorance, however; one cannot master what one does not acknowledge.

I count myself kind of a second-generation vegan, because I only eat beef from vegetarian cows

When you're faced with a dangerous situation, you don't have time to think. You only have time to act. So when I'm faced with danger, I stop and take a minute and say "WHat would I do if I wasn't thinking?" and then I do that. If it's not too late already because I took that minute to think and the danger killed me. But that's a chance you have to take.

Apparently in the five years since I've asked a woman out, they've come up with this new thing where they don't say yes or no, they just ignore you and act like you didn't say anything.

Someone should invent glove-shoes for monkeys

They say that when you die, you won't wish you had more money, but you will wish you'd spent more time with friends and family. Although either of those things will probably look better than dying.

YOu know how in the Bible, the angel appeared to Mary and told her that she would have a baby and that she would name Him Jesus? Well, today I was thinking, what if she had the baby but she named Him Kevin? Then we would all be praying to Kevin Christ. That would be weird.

I thought I baby-proofed my house but they keep getting in.

If you make a Beat Farmers station on Pandora, it will play Clash, Ramones, Sex Pistols, Warren Zevon, Counting Crows, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Dwight Yoakam, and John Denver. No lie.

Someday I want people to look at me and say to themselves "Hey, look at that guy!"

The greatest magic of all is the magic of friendship and love. Ha ha just kidding life sucks get over it.

Remember when I said that thing that time that was really funny, wasn't that funny? Pay attention to me.

There comes a point in every man's life where he has to just stop, and say, "Hey!"

I have a three o'clock meeting with a guy named Dave. Not my made-up alter ego named Dave, but a real guy named Dave.

When you raise your cows and chickens with minimal involvement and allow them to roam and develop naturally, you're organic and a good environmentalist. But when you raise your kids that way, suddenly you're a "bad parent".

Before he died, Mozart composed many symphonies. After he died, he decomposed.

Someone needs to tell Alex Trebek how insulting it is to tell a Jeopardy contestant that they're "back on the plus side." Seriously.

Be yourself. There isn't really another choice.

Isn't being passive-aggressive kind of like being smart-stupid or short-tall?

One good thinng about going to the dentist is that you don't have to make small talk. Doesn't quite make up for the drilling or the blood or the screaming, but it's something.

The closest thing that grown-ups have to experiecing the birthing process would be going headfirst down a waterslide inside a sleeping bag. I think I just accidentally invented a radical new form of therapy.

The only thing sadder than a passive-aggressive Facebook status, it's someone wrongly assuming it's about them

A good science fiction show would be about a time-traveling Yoko Ono who travels across parallel dimensions and in every reality she visits, she breaks up a different version of the Beatles

Of all God's creatures, man alone makes war, or kills his own kind with guns, or uses ventriliquist dummies

Fred Phelps says God hates Christmas because of all the gay apparel

I told my kid I'd get him a car if he cut his hair. He said Jesus had long hair and he wanted to be like Jesus. I told him Jesus walked everywhere he went.

Hearing preachers argue over whether or not there's really a Hell is like living in a city full of crime while politicians argue over whether or not there's a jail

When I'm home by myself, I like to run around screaming "I am the best! I am Awesome!" Actually that's a lie. I don't have to be by myself.

If I was a young guy and my wife and I were poor and she had to give birth in a barn surrounded by animals, I would probably really hate any kids who came into the barn playing a drum.

If Anson Williams played a character who was really strict about how to play dice-based strategy games, then he would be Potsie the Yahtzee Nazi

Be kind to those who don't deserve it. Practice compassion when you don't stand to gain from it. Expect nothing, and let your reward be found in the type of person you become.

One of the young ladies at the coffee place told me it was her last day and came out behind the counter and said some really nice things. I guess it's true that you never know whose life you're going to affect.

There are no good people or bad people; we are all works in progress, facing the same choices everyday. The best we can expect of ourselves is to do better than we did yesterday.

In high school, I was voted Most Likely To Exceed

Had two discussions today about God.  One with a Christian and one with a Buddhist. I was invited to both their services/studies and one woman asked me teach her meditation. Weird day.

Always take the high road. And if you can't take the high road, encourage other to take the high road. That way, there's more room for you on the low road.

Why don't gyms have giant hamster wheels for people to work out on?

I wish Christmas was over, and New Years too

If everyone who claims to know for sure that they're going to Heaven actually wind up there, I'm not so sure I want to go

Hollywood can't get anything right. I just watched the movie Tom Sawyer and it wasn't anything like the Rush song

If someone you know gets amnesia, I think a funny thing to do would be to take him to the circus, hand him a whip and a chair, tell him he's a lion tamer and that he's late for work. Then just watch the hilarity ensue.

Every so often, when something is weighing on me, people will say to me, Is something wrong? More often, when I say what's on my mind, people say There is something wrong with you!

I was watching the Twilight Zone last night and it was that episode where the guy is watching the Twilight Zone on TV and it turns out that he's watching an episode about himself, and the weird thing was that the guy I was watching turned out to be me.

Does anyone else ever hit the snooze button and then dream that you get up, get dressed and go to work, only to have the alarm go off and realize you have to start over? I call it the Groundhog Day. I hate that one.

Kharma is not an economy whereby our actions are rewarded or punished, nor is it a cosmic meritocracy. It's the totality of being carried forward through this life into the next, akin to reaping what you sow. Kharma is the interweaving of the spiritual, the physical and the mental. Compassion and kindness are their own rewards: Wishing payback on others for their deeds is an indication of your own kharma, not theirs.

I was in love with Miss Wells, my kindergarten teacher. It didn't work out. She said is didn't think of me in THAT way. I still think about her though, whenever someone mentions fingerpaints, or sings that song about B-I-N-G-O. That was kind of our song.

We make a living by what we earn. We make a life by what we give away.

Every year, it's true, the boys and I sit down to watch the original Die Hard as a holiday tradition, but as Christmas Day approaches I think it's important to remember another important Christmas story, lest we all forget. Lethal Weapon is also an awesome holiday movie.

People can dispute the accuracy of the Gospel accounts and say that Christianity is based on a Lie, but the fact is that Something happened in Jerusalem 2000 years ago that not only changed the course of human history, but has been changing hearts and lives every day since. As for myself, I believe, and I don't need biology lessons or diagrams or guys digging things up in the desert; the only evidence I need is my own life.

My neice said she was going to read the whole Bible next year. Spoiler alert: Everyone dies at the end.

A good Broadway musical would be a revival of Phantom of The Opera, except it would take place at a Spelling Bee

I bet people who compete in hot dog eating contests for a living don't eat hot dogs any other time.

If there was a priest who was secretly a police officer, and he said he was going to throw the book at you, he would probably throw the Bible. And that's a big book, and it would probably hurt.

People think learning a new language is difficult, but I learned to speak English when I was only one year old, and that was when I didn't even know what language was. That was the first indication of my genius.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, or take showers.

Sometimes I like to wear a shirt that matches my socks so that people will think I'm wearing socks that go all the way up to my neck. That's funny because socks don't really do that.

I care about animals. That's why I eat them, to put them out of their misery.

‎Life is pain. Anyone who says different is selling something. ~The Dread Pirate Robert

A good disaster movie would be about how the earth is being swallowed by the sun, and every day people go outside and the sun is just bigger and bigger, and crops wither and earthquakes and floods increase, and there's radiation and millions dying, and it could be called Here Comes The Sun

I just read a preview on Netflix for a movie called Care Bears To The Rescue and I thought how embarrassing it would be to have to be rescued by Care Bears.

Everyone says they don't care when they really care more than anything, so remember that the next time someone says they don't care. Except me, because seriously ya'll, I don't care.

In business, when you meet someone important and it's critical that you remember their names, a good thing to do is, invent a little rhyme when you meet them, like say you meet someone named Nina, you might come up with Nina Bean-a Ballerina, wore a crown on Halloween-a. But don't say it out loud, in front of her, the first time you meet, or she'll think you have some weird kind of rhyming Tourette's.

People always mock things they don't understand. Also, things that are stupid.

Every time someone tells me that life is funny, I always say, except that part at the end where you die.

Once I went to a wedding where the bride stood up and promised to take the groom's family name, and that she would always honor their name and do her best to live up to their name. The funny part is, their last name was Hooker.

I hate being around people who are so much funnier than I am

We had a love-hate relationship. I loved her and she hated me.

I always tell my kids to never give up. They want me to stop saying it, but that would be giving up.

A good sequel to The Hobbit would be about a warrior poet named McClane who invaded the lands south or Mordor. It would be called Die Harad.

Suffering is at once utterly intimate and universal, it not only defines our humanity but separates us from the Divine. And yet what should bind us together in our shared experience, instead divides and isolates us; What should spur us forward in pursuit of God, instead causes us to question Who is God?

I've been asked to give a series of lectures at the University of NO ONE REALLY GIVES A CRAP

I heard it was good so I'm watching the movie Another Earth. It makes me wish I was watching Another Movie. BORING.

If there was another dimension that was an exact mirror of our own, we could never communicate with it, because every time we tried to talk to them, they would try to talk to us, and say the exact same thing we were saying. And we would eventually just keep saying Jinx and owe each other a billion Cokes, and it would be a big mess and who needs that? Am I right?

Everyone tells me I'm different even though I try to be the same.

I'm attracted to women who are impressed by guys who use big words. It's a problem for me, because I don't know a lot of big words.

Anyone reading a survival guide for the coming Apocalypse needs to get a dictionary and look up the word Apocalypse

Cheryl Ladd has always been my favorite angel, even counting the ones in Heaven

Remember that episode of Star Trek when they went to that planet where clowns were hunted for sport?

Happy New Year!! Suck it, 2011!!!

Considering how close I came to dying in 2010, 2011 was actually a pretty good year. I got to move, I got a great new job working with good friends, got a new car, the boys started new schools. So let's see how 2012 goes.

I am literally sick in bed and I want someone to fix me soup.

Jesus is coming back. And this time....it's personal.

Is it weird that I think the Evil Queen is hot?

My first New Year's Resolution s to work out 20 minutes each day, my second is to not post self-involved Facebook statuses about it every day

There's a show called The Voice where you're judged just on your voice and not what you look like. Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera are hosts. Coincidence?

If there really was a balance in the universe between Yin and Yang, then there would be viruses that gave us superpowers as well as ones that made us sick, there would be car accidents that made our cars run better, and half the time lightning struck it would feel really really good. Think about it for a while.

When someone is always complaining about being sick, a good thing to do is, tell them you knew someone who had the same thing, just before they mysteriously dropped dead

You know that song about Where The Streets Have No Name? There should be a verse about how you can't ever give anyone directions there, because the streets have no names.

I used to be a jerk and then I joined Jerks Anonymous

Are you annoying? Do people avoid you? If you're between the ages of 13 and 70, you may qualify to SHUT THE HELL UP!

WARNING!! If you see a link that says Click here to download a copy of the new Coldplay song DO NOT CLICK IT!! It will download a copy of the new Coldplay song!!!

What's under there?

Last night I had a nightmare about Gloria Estefan. The Rhythm was gonna get me.

‎We took up the enemies' own weapons, and in our victory did become him.

I don't think I would like being stalked by a psychopath, but if the psychopath was a doctor or a lawyer or someone really successful in their profession, I would probably mind less. Is that weird?

When was the last time you took a minute to thank Spider-Man for all that he does? I bet it's been a while.

When I see what's happening in the world, I worry for my children, but not my children's children, because they don't have any children, and I don't think children should be having children.

If you're not part of the solution, shut the hell up.

Going to bed. Be excellent to each other.

I love Dolly Parton but all that plastic surgery is making her look like a burn victim

A good name for a perfume would be Dangerous, and it could have sulphuric acid in it. It probably wouldn't smell good, but it would be dangerous.

It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. It's easier still to just not give a crap.

Does anyone have any questions?

I used to know a compulsive shoplifter who was missing four fingers on his right hand. He always stole doughnuts.

Whenever I introduce people to my old stoner friends, I always say that they're old war buddies, from the war on drugs, when we were on the other side.

When there's a lull in the conversation, you can just say AaaanyHoo.. and excuse yourself. You can be a badass like Rambo or Batman. You cannot do both.

And Leon's getting larger!

Awkward moment today. I just said something that was mildly amusing and the guy next to me burst out laughing and everyone stared. It wasn't that funny, dude.

Based on the crap I hear kids listening to these days, I think the Best Vocalist Grammy for the year should go to autotune.

If there was a summer camp that taught kids improv and acting skills, a good exercise would be to drive a busload of them to the scene of a traffic accident before the cops get there, and then have them all get out and lay on the ground and act hurt

If they made a movie about Arizona's anti-immigration laws, they could call it Cowboys And Aliens

I have a new favorite flavor of Crystal Light, if anyone even cares.

Andy Samberg breaks up with Mila Kunis? Obviously this movie is fiction.

I was told I'm emotionally unavailable. Whatever, I don't care.

A good invention would be a printer that uses fruit rollups instead of paper. That way, you wouldn't have to shred important documents, you could just eat them.

I dreamed that I was racing to get somewhere so that I could wake up and do the stuff I need to do this morning. Weird.

Gay people should be allowed to legally get married. Churches shouldn't be forced to perform or even recognize gay unions, if that's their choice. These two things don't have anything to do with each other. Why is there a debate?

As anyone who's ever been to my house can tell you, I don't like to think of my house as a house so much, but more like a giant pillow fort.

Religion is kind of like a Home Depot. Some people need shovels and some need rakes and some need hammers. And then instead of digging or raking or hammering, we argue over which is The One True Garden Tool and eventually we're beating each other with them, and nothing gets done.

Say you love me or say goodnight

A really easy job would be a guy who gives performance evaluations to lion tamers, because it seems like if they didn't get eaten by lions, that's a job well done.

If someone doesn't want to watch Jeopardy, my estimation of their IQ goes down 20 points, and if they'd rather watch Family Feud, it goes down another 50, and if it's the one with Steve Harvey that's another 10

I think I'm in love

Whenever someone tells me that they don't care whether they live or die, I say, if it doesn't matter, they may as well keep on living. That's a good, positive thing to say, without getting all sappy about it.

What is it with younger women and tattoos?

You know why porcupines are so reluctant to commit themselves to relationships? They're afraid of getting hurt.

And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing. But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God. (Acts 5: 38-39)

Apparently, I am now known around the office as The Jeopardy Guy

Could it be I'm falling in love?

I prayed for my friend Jack that God would keep him safe in prison. I prayed for another friend's sister named Jackie, who was waiting for a compatible liver donor. But I got them confused and the doctor's put the liver in the guy who was in prison.

The world is so full of so many things

A good TV show would be a Western about frontier gynecologist who does things his own way and makes all his own rules

I think it would be really ironic if the government started systematically persecuting optimists

I wish I lived in Narnia

Lies are covered up but Truth runs around naked

Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job but I get no offers, just a come-on from the horse on 7th Avenue

Might as well face it you're addicted to Mark

What kind of a name is Poon?

I know why young people hold hands, because they're afraid (and rightly so) that that chick or that dude will see something better and wander off. But why do old people hold hands? We get it, you're together. You can loosen your grip now.

I have a huge announcement to make, guess what it is

The models in commercials for acne medication never loook like they've ever had acne in their lives

I'm getting tired and I feel like telling people how stupid they are so I better go to bed

Watching Season 7 of Star Trek: TNG on Netflix and wondering if there was ever a more awesome time to be a Trekkie than when there were 2 Trek shows airing at the same time. I've been living among humans too long but my heart is still Klingon.

How out of touch are the people who run the public schools? They think it's necessary to teach drama to teenagers.

I never regret getting up and working out in the morning. I always regret it when I don't.

I just invented the Thai Omlette. Red bell peppers, jalapenos, mushrooms and fresh basil, and when it's done, lime juice on top.

If you could transport yourself 100 years into the future, it might be cool for a while, but just think of all the TV shows you would have to catch up on

Abraham Lincoln said As I would not be a slave, I would not be a master. Please teach your kids that this day is not just about African Americans or minorites, it's about our whole society.

At least 30% of keeping the kitchen clean is closing the cabinet doors

The new manager at the Caribou Coffee in Peachtree Center is so pretty she could be a movie star and a Victoria's Secret model. And she's smart and stuff.

Why do pirates always have hook hands and eye patches and wooden legs? You never see them on cowboys or knights or gladiators, and their jobs were just as dangerous. Is there something about being a pirate that makes pieces of you start falling off?

Penguins mate for life because they're born in formal wear

I finally figured out what's wrong with me

To me the most telling sign of the times is that we've had to come up with a plural form of the word Apocalypse

A good name for a cologne would be Mid Life Crisis

The hardest part of being Superman would be super-smell

I watched Smallville from the first episode in 2000, I've seen Superman II probably 100 times, and never til tonight did I realize that the Jor-El of Smallville was the Zod of Superman II

The thing that turned Zod evil was his brother Neal always got to go first in everything, it was always Neal before Zod, Neal before Zod

No one ever sees themselves as close-minded

Some people say that marriage is like prison, but I disagree. People escape from prison.

Whenever anyone says Have a nice day I always tell them not to force their religious beliefs on me

I'm going to bed. It's exhausting being this awesome.

I promised I wouldn't post every day about my workout because I've been told (and I agree) that no one wants to hear about someone else's workout. BUT I am making note of the fact here that after not even 3 weeks, the workout I just did in 20 minutes is twice what I was able to do 2 wks ago. I am awesome.

In 6th grade my friend Andy Sheehan and I got IHS and as punishment we had to clean the teacher's breakroom and filled the bathroom soap dispensers with a mixture of hand soap and liquid Comet. Ha ha good times, good times.

If a little kid started cussing during my wedding ceremony, I wouldn't really care so much, but if a bunch of adults started laughng loudly at her, that would piss me off. Not everyone agrees with me about wedding stuff.

What if there was a day when everyone stopped talking about stuff they didn't like or things they were against?

I would rather be stupid and think I was smart than smart and think I was stupid. Because if you believe you're stupid, you'll never try and you may as well be stupid. On the other hand, if you're stupid and think you're smart, you'll try everything and never get anywhere and wind up frustrated. Crap. Forget it.

Life is much harder when you give a crap.

Keep your friends close, and your ice cream closer

If you're not part of the solution, you're probably not the soluble component in a homogenous combination of two or more chemical compounds

I know the perfect scam to get a million doillars. Just go up to every billionaire you know and say Hey, where's that million dollars you owe me? I know it's a long shot, but remember, it only has to work once.

I just went swimming for the fisrt time in probably five years. It's harder than I remember.

The problem with our society is that everyone thinks everyone else is the problem

The Bible says that when two people marry they become one flesh. It's kind of like a skin graft or an organ transplant. A healthy immune system will reject those.

Reading my blogs and Facebook statuses will give you 199% of the USRDA recommended daily allowance of AWESOME!!!

If you ever have to speak in public, a good thing to do is practice in front of a mirror. This is especially helpful if you're giving a speech to just one person, and they look just like you.

I didn't want to get up and work out this morning but I did, if anyone really cares.

The thing I hate about Chinese New Year is that it's Year of The Horse and for weeks I'll still be writing Year of The Monkey on my checks

Am I your friend? Do you like me?

For those of you who like keeping track of such things, I just got back from swimming at the Collins Hill Aquatic Center. I had to share a lane with a mean woman who kept drifting to the center, but I swam full-out for 20 minutes.

My goal is that one day people just see me as a normal, regular guy

The guy at the coffee shop this morning offered me free medical advice for a headache and then cautioned, But I'm not a doctor. Really? Because I thought you were part of that Coffee Guy / Highly Trained Medical Professional Exchange Program.

I can't stop wondering if maybe I'm too obssesive

I'm glad that English-speaking people don't commonly name their kids Jesus, because if I knew someone named Jesus and he was a jerk, it would be awkward.

It's easy to stand by and do nothing. It's easy to laugh at other's differences. It's easy to just go about your business every day like nothing is important. That's why I do all those things, because they're easy.

It is what it is. That's why we call it that.

If you go to a venue to hear musicians play but they kick you out, it can be disconcerting

Homeless guy asked me for $5 so I gave it to him. Then he asked me for $10 and I gave it to him. Then he asked me for $15 and I was like, yeah, I see where this is going.

If Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Herbie the Love Bug got married, I bet they would make a lot of noise in the garage at night

YOu know what would be a good movie? If the kids from the Sound of Music had King Kong as a pet. Think of some other movies that would be good if you added King Kong.

If there was a religion for pets, I would teach seminars on how dogs and cats should get along

If you wanna be hardcore....

If there was ever a gorilla that lost an arm, it would be a really bad idea to have it replaced with a chainsaw, because a gorilla with a chainsaw for an arm, how crazy is that?

I pay money so my kids can tell a stranger what a horrible parent I am.

Those bastards are at it again.

Dear Dr. Phil, When you need to warn people about a dangerous teen trend, it's not necessary to bring a dead teenager's ashes up on stage to sit in an urn next to you.

Foods that are good for you usually have their color in the name, like brown rice, red peppers, green onions. Foods that are bad for you usually have their shape in the name, like chicken nuggets, onion straws, bowtie pasta.

The movie A Dolphin's Tale looks like a movie people would make to make fun of movies like that

In China, where every letter-character is a word, spelling bees must be really easy, 411 operator must be the hardest job in the world, and Sesame Street must be like six hours long everyday

Don't ever fall in love, bcause when you fall in love people just lie to you and use you. At least, that's what I do, when people fall in love with me.

When a dog talks about a happy ending, it just means that he's wagging his tail.

If you don't give to someone who is hungry because you believe he'll use the money for drugs or alcohol, or if you don't give because your money is more important to you than helping others, or if you don't give because you believe that poor people are just leeching off society....It doesn't make any difference to the person who is hungry. They're just hungry.

Old people like seeing young people in love because it takes them back to happier days when they weren't with someone long enough for them to have gotten on every last nerve they have

A good treatment for alcoholism is jogging. Because when you're jogging, the ice will bounce out of your glass.

There are five stages of grief: Denial, Anger, Depression, Bargaining and Acceptance. In Ireland, there is also Drinking and Punching.

I need a new girlfriend

I would never pay to see babies fight each other, unless they were robot babies

I just heard an ad that said one in five relationships start online. I bet more than that actually end online.

How come Wooly Mammoths weren't white like polar bears? I hope we clone one soon, so maybe we can ask it.

I'm addicted to prescription glasses

It's January 31 and I haven't missed one workout any morning this month. I rule.

The burger stand sells a Blue Cheese Combo for $4.99 - I bet if they spelled it Bleu they could charge an extra dollar

I told the lifeguard girl at the pool today that I hadn't swum in a while and she said I had good form. She meant my swimming. Still though.

I didn't know you were called Dennis.

Project Manager yelled at me today (Yes, he physically YELLED at me) for not knowing something that he never told me. I pointed out to him that I had no way of knowing it and he eventually even said that most of it we had never even gone over.

My parking ticket slipped between my windshield and the front of the car. I MacGuyvered it out with a coffee stirrer and a gum wrapper.

Groundhog Day is like the Fourth of July for TV Weathermen

Before you start talking about yourself two questions: did anyone ask, and will anyone care?

People are not inherently good or bad by nature, but define themselves everyday by the choices they make

I can still be a good Christian if I only hate someone at work. Work-hating someone is not a sin.

Earlier I was going to say that I don't believe people are inherently good or bad by nature, but define themselves by their choices. Having said that, this guy I work with is a total butt-bag. I had to cut my status short because he walked up on me.

By the way, a butt-bag is a bag of butts.

When someone always supports one candidate or party all the time, no matter what they do, they lose all credibility because it's like they're not thinking for themselves. It's the same thing for people who are happy and optimistic all the time.

Something that i'd hoped was going to happen I now know definitely for sure will never happen.

I think people who favor gay marriage also believe in the sanctity of marriage. I think that's their whole point. Also, people who are offended by gays always used to say it was so unnatural because the gays all had so many different partners, but now they don't like gays to get married either. Make up your minds.

I believe in true love the same way I believe in Bigfoot. Like it's probably out there somewhere but hardly anyone's ever really seen it, and most of the pictures you see are fake. and lots of people look for it but if they ever really saw it they'd run away.

I don't know how I feel about mood rings. Luckily, that's what mood rings are for.

The word subpoena sounds dirty but it's not.

If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. Or just do that thing where you dance in front of the mirror in a towel using the hairbrush as a microphone.

Why does it take so lomg at the Starbucks drive-thru? They're pouring coffee, not paintiing landscapes.

When someone gives a message from beyond the grave, why do people always think it's true? WHat is it about coming back from the dead that makes everyone think people quit lying or just being stupid?

It's not encouraging that the guy in the office who is so big they had to order him a special chair is having the same thing for lunch that I am.

A good name for a cologne would be Rude Boy

I really hate exclamation points. I wish there was some way of expressing how much.

My friend Dan had a horrible, disgusting lump on his neck, but after some tests, doctors were able to determine that it was just his head.

I sometimes just think funny things

The guy in the cubicle next to me said You know, I was thinking, if your last name was Reserved you could get some great parking spots. And then a few minutes later said I've been talking to you too long.

I swam laps last night and I worked out like a mo-fo this morning, and two people spontaneously and without prompting told me that I look like I'm losing weight. I am kicking my own ass's ass.

Here's a helpful tip to all you 40+ year old guys who go around saying that you feel 20: you may feel 20, but trust me, to girls who actually are 20, you're 40+

What is this Earth love of which you speak?

Don't allow your anxiety about the future to overshadow the present. Sometimes a good day is just a day. Take it for what it is.

I'm writing a cookbook with slow-cooker recipes for Christians. It's called What Would Jesus Stew?

I think Crosby's new girlfriend looks exactly like the girl who is giving Julia her baby. It's off-putting.

Click like on this status and I'll post on your wall why I like you. Or comment on this status what you think of me. Or both.

I am awesome.

Whenever I see one of those stories about the families where all the men going back generation after generation suffer from a genetic disorder that makes them look like werewolves, first I feel bad for them, but then I wonder where they're meeting these women who want to marry mutant werewolves, because I'm 45 and haven't had a date in 3 years.

Some say that the notion of the romantic coupling originated with Rennaissance poets, replacing the tradition of arranged marriages, but I believe its an emotional expression of the genetic mandate to procreate that ensures our survival as a species - which ironically, due to dwindling resources and industrial encroachment, is the very thing that now casts our survival in doubt. So Happy Valentine's Day.

Celebrities are the only ones you ever hear about going to the hospital for exhaustion.

To say that life has no meaning except what we assign it, is a far cry from saying it has no meaning at all. Quite the opposite. You get to say how valuable you are. You can be as happy as you decide to be.

Hello.

There is a finite amount of happiness in the universe, so if you aren't happy, someone must have stolen yours, and you are completely justified in seeking them out and destroying them. I think that's even in the Bible. I'm pretty sure it is.

I am in need of constant attention. So stop whatever you're doing and think about me. You can all work in shifts. Use the comments section to sign up.

I think my friend Jorge is probably one of the greatest dads ever

Sometimes it helps to talk to other people. Other than me I mean.

I just unfriended someone for being annoying

Saint Valentine was executed by physical dismemberment and public torture, after which his still-beating heart was run through wiith a skewer and put on display, thus his symbol has become a heart with an arrow through it. So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

The moral of The Wizard of Oz: Everything you're looking for is right in front of you, so never leave and have no goals

Yesterday on Jeopardy there was a category called Chicks Dig Me

I know that no one will ever invent time travel because if they do we would have read about them in history books

It's funny to deal with people who don't know what they're doing and think they're morre important than they are, except in a Friday afternoon meeting when they won't shut up.

People are so used to rudeness and hostility that any display of kindness or compassion is met with disbelief and skepticism. People not only forget to act with kindness, they can't even accept or recognize it from others.

I tried to find the scene in Say Anything where the guy sings The Greatest Love Of All at graduation.

I think the evil queen on Once Upon A Time is hot, although judging from my history, maybe I just have a type

If you had a party and invited a bunch of people who are easily offended, it would be whatever the opposite of fun is.

When someone is offended by something I say, I used to think Gosh, I didn't mean to offend anyone, maybe I shouldn't have said that! But now I usually think, Gosh, this person is offended over stupid things, maybe I shouldn't talk to them anymore!

So I don't like taking pleasure in other people's pain but last night I found out that someone who treated me badly and then blamed me for her being a bitch, is being cheated on by the guy who she said treated her better than me. So there's that.

A good Tv show would be a teenage family drama where a fugitive family has to build robots to fight wild animals that are trying to take over the world

I believe in being kind and helping people when I can, but I also believe in honesty. It doesn't mean I have to like everyone, it means I offer encouragement and compassion even when I don't like someone. It doesn't mean that I'm cheerful and in a good mood all the time, it means I have to push through the sadness or anger or whatever and do my best anyway. Anything else is insincere and fake and people see through it.

The last Whitney Houston song I can recall is probably 20 years ago, and until she died she had been for years just a bad punchline on SNL skits. It's a tragedy but why the huge outcry?

Under new Federal guidelines, if your company or business is going to provide an area for smokers, it must also provide equal areas for jokers and for midnight tokers

You know how you always hear about psychos you meet on the internet? Do you ever worry that you might be the psycho on the internet? Or that you're someone else's evil twin?

I don't care if the government gathers information on me, because it's not illegal to be AWESOME!!!!

At the Dollar General I got some DVD sets - The Greatest American Hero The Complete Series, and The Complete Billy Jack Collection.

TV shows in the 80's were so bad

A woman got on the train with two bags and while trying to find a seat her upright bag fell over on a big guy's foot and he glared at her and kicked it away. So I picked it up for her and he squared off like he wanted to fight. I'm still waiting for that. Ha ha douchebag.

How many people who were offended by the Catholic thing at the Superbowl were equally offended when everyone wanted to draw cartoons of Mohammed to piss off Muslims?

So not only am I not getting a tax refund, but I actually owe money. No vacation this year I guess. Thanks Federal government.

If someone is upset or mad or sad or whatever, I telll them it's ok to be that. There's no right way to feel. You're allowed to feel however you want and there's nothing wrong with you. I don't give them a list of reasons not to be whatever they are.

Instant AWESOME!!! Just add Mark.

Does anyone remember that song I Can't Hold Back by Survivor? Does he say before the Russians pass us by?

Indy was doing a book report on Tom Sawyer and asked me what I knew about the book and I said Well, I know his mind was not for rent. Waiting to hear back from his teacher on that one.

So as not to be a total jerk about Valen's Times Day, and since I don't have anyone to do anything for, I went and got cards for all the ladie's at the coffee place I go to. One of them cried, she said no one else did anything for her. So there's that.

I honestly don't recall the last time something genuinely offended me. Unless you count the times I've just rolled my eyes and went pshhh

Valentine's Day Schmalentine's Day

I'm going to bed. It's been a crappy day.

Remember that time when we got caught between the moon and New York City?

I think in Heaven they will play a lot of Kenny Loggins songs. For the people who like Kenny Loggins, and I think there will be quite a few of them there. And then other people will be like Enough with the Kenny Loggins already! And then they'll crank up the Zeppelin. What are your thoughts?

There's too many Socs and not enough Greasers

Would people drink as much if alcohol didn't make us forget the stupid crap we do when we're drunk?

If Steve Perry wrote the song Oh Sherrie about his wife, doesn't that mean her name is Sherrie Perry?

Each time we meet, love, I find complete love, without your sweet love, what would life be? So never leave me lonely, tell me you love me only, and that you'll always let it be me

What's weird is that the two beautifulest women I know Barbara Bice-Wood andJennifer McLeod Hagerty both went to the same school in the same small town as me, and that they both have the same birthday!

I didn't want to get up this morning but I did and I didn't want to work out but I did, and once I started I wanted to stop but I kept going, and I didn't want to go swimming laps after work but I swam like a mo-fo

I think I would be in favor of dog fighting if instead of two dogs fighting each other, there were three or four dogs fighting a person. That seems more like nature.

I always wanted to be a hippie but it wouldn't be any fun all by myself

I wonder if Thomas Jefferson used to tell people he was taking his morning Constitutional

You know what's a fun drinking game? Every time someone tells you you're an alcoholic, take a shot.

Today on the train this old homeless dude stood up and said he was hungry, he wasn't asking for money just food. Two ladies got out of their seats and came to him and one gave him a sandwwich and one gave him grapes, and he was so grateful he almost cried.

Told the boss I wanted to take tomorrow off and he laughed. Not a good sign. But tomorrow is Markday dammit!!!

Those of you who know my work situation know that I've had one major problem for the last few months, well, problem solved. Darth Vader just threw the Emperor over the railing. Hans Gruber just fell out the window. Voldemort is vanquished.

The only reason I'm single is because women can't handle all the PDA. Public Displays of AWESOME!!!!

Michelle Ma Bell Sunday monkey go play piano some, play piano some

Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Just to be safe, beware of sheep too.

If you had the mutant superpower to make squirrels and small birds explode, it would be bad because small animals deserve to live just like any of God's creatures. But you could also scare the crap out of old people in the park, so it would still be kind of tempting.

If someone found a loophole in the law that suddenly made me President, the first thing I would do is call for reform in the laws that decide who has to be President, because that is messed up, man.

Having no short term memory would suck, almost as bad as having no short term memory.

EVerytime someone tells me how smart their baby is, I say So what? I'm smarter than a baby!

As I see it, the real danger in human cloning is that we'd want to clone someone awesome, but then what if the clone grows up to be a jerk? That would disappoint a lot of people.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, with french fries. No one likes cold french fries. Jerk.

Today was supposed to be Markday but I guess Markday will have to wait. Dammit all to hell.

It's funny that Facebook keeps wanting to show me top stories and for some reason considers it earth-shaking news that Jenni McLeod doesn't like yogurt with her coffee

These 100 calorie snack bars are so good I could eat 50 of them all at once

Someone told me I looked good yesterday, which was nice, but I think she just meant compared to the fatty boombalatty that you were six weeks ago.

Thank you for calling NO ONE REALLY GIVES A CRAP, how may I help you?

If you don't like looking at cars or knowing about cars and if really cool cars don't interest you at all, you may have an auto-immune disease.

If a family from another country comes to America and gets in a fight, is it still domestic violence or is it imported?

If a car is designed to drive itself, then it's automatic, so if a car is designed for a dog to drive, wouldn't it be dogmatic?

Be kind to everyone because you never know what struggles they're going through, and also they could secretly be mafia hitmen, and you don't want to piss one of those guys off

Is it weird that the Bible tells us to beware of wolve's in sheep's clothing but it doesn't say anything about just regular wolves?

I'm done trying to be friends with people who don't have time for me

Today I had a conversation with a Buddhist monk

I'm like a really important piece of modern art that everyone pretends to get but is really afraid to take home with them because they're secretly horrified by it.

I'm like a wild animal that people try to put on a leash but they can't because I'm a wild animal and I can't be leashed

I'm like a tornado made up of AWESOME

Do Swiss cows have holes in them?

There should be a mangy feral cat called Goodbye Kitty

If Abraham Lincoln was alive today and I had the chance to just ask him one question, it would probably be How come you're not dead?

Never give up on your dream. Except that one where you're out in public and suddenly realize you're naked.

Wal Mart advertises stuff on Sunday but sold out on Monday, coincidentally every single Wal Mart in the area is sold out of the elliptical they were advertising. Wal Mart sucks.

Went to have lunch with my favorite nieceMonique Ahn and her husband and their baby. Ran into Wal Mart across the street afterwards and picked up the elliptical I wanted!! So excited! I forgive you, Wal Mart.

I'm done being nice. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

My good friend Beth Colvin copied some vinyl records to MP3s, and is sewing some shirts for me also, and my brother Paul Schieber helped me put together the elliptical machine that I bought today. It's good to have friends and family to help out.

Someone asked me if I had been baptized in the Holy Spirit and FIRE!! I was afraid to say no, because I was afraid she would take out a blowtorch. But then I was afraid if I said yes, she would say something like, Then why do you still have eyebrows? So I ran away.

Working out on an elliptical is way harder than a treadmill. I don't know why, and please don't tell me.

I like the show Once Upon A Time but I think I would have liked it more if I could have watched it before my heart turned black and withered and my soul died.

When I get on an elevator with a bunch of people, in my mind I play a game of Survivor where I win if I'm the last one on, and sometimes I forget that I'm the only one playing, and when people get off I pump my fist in the air and go Yes!

If a dog is ever elected President, I bet the first thing he does is outlaw the rolling up of newspapers

No matter how crazy you are, if you hang around with monkeys, people will either notice how calm and collected you seem compared to the monkeys, or they'll wonder who is that maniac with all the monkeys. Either way, you win.

$1,717.87 

American culture is really lacking sitcoms about a group of 20-something platonic friends who are inexplicably drawn into each other's love lives

I went to bed at 8 because I was feeling sick again. Woke up at 2 after a really really sad dream and couldn't get back to sleep. Worked out like a mofo. Feeling good today.

My son left his progress reports out for me to sign. The same progress reports I signed last week. He's the gifted one.

A few weeks ago I saw a hippy chick crying on the train and asked if everything was ok, and she told me her autobiography. Today the same hippy chick got on with her friend and said HEEEEEY to me really loud and then told her friend That's the guy I was telling you about.

I was riding the escalator @ Peachhtree Center up and coming the other way was a kid about 10 yrs old holding his hands over his head going Whooo! Like it was a ride, and two embarrassed teenage girls with him. So I put my bag down and held up my arms and I heard the lady behind me went Whooo! He laughed at us. The girls looked mortified. Ha ha take that, embarrassed teenagers!

Something else happened this morning but I forget what

The little Latino girl at the coffee place is so cute I just want to pick her up and put her in my pocket

Here with the bomb de dang de dang diggy diggy

She told me she only seemed to want guys who would never want her. On the bright side, that left her with a lot of options.

She looked unhappy so I asked her what was wrong. She said I guess I'm not very good at hiding my feelings, huh? I said, Not unless you're secretly happy.

I bet you wish you were more like me

Praise me, congratulate me, build me up, tell me nice things, define me, make me your own

Gay people marrying each other doesn't ruin straight marriage for straight people. Straight marriage does, apparently.

It's only 4:30 and 2 people have already pissed me off

Strange. An attractive woman just got on the train and sat next to me when there are clearly dozens of other seats to sit in. This is not the natural order of things. What's happening here?

If I woke up in a parallel universe where there was no REO Speedwwagon, it wouldn't bother me. It would probably be years before I even noticed.

OMG now she's talking to me

SAD: The trivia question at Caribou Coffee this morning, What is the Capital of Canada? SADDER: No one there knew the answer. SADDEST OF ALL: The schoolteacher in line ahead of me who authoritativally stated that it was Alberta.

I don't want my kids to grow up in a world where there is no law and order. I mean the TV show.

I bet someone could make a whole other show about families that were torn apart by the stupid crap they did while appearing on Family Feud

OK, so....all the straight people who claim that gay marriage is going to ruin the entire institute of marriage, are they now filing for divorces?

If there was a sandwich-making robot that became self-aware, it might ask itself, Do I exist only to make sandwiches for an ungrateful populace? And it might try something new, seeking meaning for it's life by making, say, burritos or pizza, but sooner or later I suspect it would seize control of defense networks and in it's bitterness touch off a nuclear war.

Now here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusion, looking into you

There's something about an Aqua Velva man. It's the way he smells like a chemical attack.

So some people think I'm a jerk. I guess to some people, I probably am.

Someone asked me how I could live with myself. Because breaking up would be really hard.

I'm going out with a fancy lady.

I was keeping a list of things I don't give a crap about, but I forgot where I put it

My only mistake was trying too hard

Jimmy Carter is the only President who graduated from the US Naval Academy

‎Dukkha. Tanha. According to Jesus and the Buddha, they’re causally related. The more you have of one, the more you can be sure you have of the other. If you want not to suffer, you must relinquish your grasping. That is to say, you must disentangle yourself from that which causes your suffering. You must detach from those things, ideas, expectations to which you cling so desperately. Turn loose.

RIP Ricky Spence died this morning - Pray for his mom Cindy, a faithful volunteer @ the co-op for many years

There is a No-Drama Zone in a mobile 10-foot radius around me at all times. Please keep this in mind as you interact with me.

I never had a drinking problem. I had a stopping problem.

I don't think we should criticize Vegetarians, because people can't help it if they were born in Vegetaria.

If your name is Adam and you're trying to come up with a badass nickname to intimidate people and you think The Atomizer is a good choice, look up in the dictionary what an atomizer is before you say it out loud to a group of people that you don't want to laugh at you

She used to love me to the moon and back. Now, she just loves me to the moon and wants to leave me there.

When I was in Kindergarten, my teacher seemed to know a lot about what went on at home. When I asked how did she know, she would always say A little birdy told me. That's why I started shooting birds, because those little bastards were always talking about me.

Since they cancelled Law and Order, I could care lesss about the Oscars

If you ever meet a celebrity and you want to impress them, pretend to choke so that they'll give you the Heimlich. People who Heimlich each other share a special bond, like people who serve in the army together.

It's not true love til she writes your name in glitter across the butt of her sweatpants

I think how therapists and psychologists are required to participate in their own therapy to deal with the stress of their jobs, is the same way that bartenders seem to drink a lot

If you're going to be executed, for your last meal, ask for Frankenberry and a Shamrock shake, because one is only sold at Halloween and one on Saint Patrick's Day. You just beat the system, my friend.

If you ever win the lottery, a good thing to do is, buy all the houses in the neighborhood of someone you don't like, and rent them all out for free to thrash metal garage bands

I think Bigfoot would be a good character for Once Upon A Time

It's nice getting an unexpected text in the middle of the day saying I love you even when it's from a number you don't recognize.

It's Leap Year so everyone remember to set your clocks back 24 hours

I was in love with my kindergarten teacher. I wanted to give her all of my allowance and I didn't even understand why.

If you're attracted to homeless people, you're probably a hobosexual

Fine then, be that way

If you died tomorrow, could you live with all the regrets you would have?

So I got a text from a number I didn't recognize saying I love you and figured it was a wrong number so I texted back We have to talk. I don't know if this is working for me. Well it turned out it was just a friend of mine who got a new phone. Good times.

If any of my friends are ever going to Hooters and you ask yourself I woonder if Mark would like to go? Let me just pre-emptively lay that to rest: The answer is always yes. Thank you, carry on.

Davy Jones is dead. He was only 66. My favorite Davy Jones song was Girl. It was the one he sang on The Brady Bunch.

Man I can't wait til the Universoul Circus comes to Atlanta. Then I won't have to keep seeing the dumbass commercials in the Marta station.

People are so freakn' stupid

You never know what's going to happen when you tune into The Schiebers

I don't like Obama as a President and I didn't vote for him and I think he's bad for the country, but how exactly are gas prices his fault?

I love watching my girlfriend sleep, she's so peaceful and beautiful. Except I hate when she wakes up screaming at me not to crawl through her window at night. And also she's not my girlfriend and calls the cops.

I've never watched the show Revenge but just from seeing the commercials, I really want that girl to get her revenge

If vegetarians only eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?

I remember the day my heart withered and my soul died. It was a Saturday and we had a big party.

I still believe in the American Dream. It's just that now it's the one where you bolt awake screaming in the middle of the night.

She had some nerve, offering me aromatic plant materials infused with essential oils. I was incensed.

Dream on, dream for your dinner, dream for your life and dream to be thinner

When I was very young, I had a date with Destiny. How young was I? It was more like a Playdate With Destiny.

Being a weatherman has got to be a difficult job, considering that the weather is a deterministic system with infinite variables that render analytical techniques such as recurrence plots ineffective. On the other hand, mostly you would just have to tell whether it's raining or not, and you have a 50/50 chance of doing that just by guessing.

So today two people who aren't friends with me on Facebook and don't know that I've been working out everyday asked me if I was losing weight. Take that, haters!

Hematidrosis (also called hematohidrosis) is a very rare condition in which a human being sweats blood. It may occur when a person is suffering extreme levels of stress, for example, facing his or her own death. Several historical references have been described; notably by Leonardo da Vinci: describing a soldier who sweated blood before battle, men unexpectedly given a death sentence, as well as descriptions in the Bible, that Jesus experienced hematidrosis when he was praying in the garden of Gethsemane

I'm a gamechanger. I change games.

I want to know what happened to all my underwear dammit

When I die and go to Heaven I'm going to ask God to do some stand-up because I bet He does some really awesome impressions

I really admire cavemen scientists, because they were the real trailblazers

If there was a race of people with really giant heads, I bet they would think bobblehead dolls were racist

Sometimes I think things, you know what I mean?

It would be really hard to be a bullfighter if bulls could turn invisible, but it would be a lot more fun to watch

You can stand up for what you believe in and call it courageous, but you can't then abrogate responsility when challenged by saying that everything you believe is in the Bible and Take it up with God if you don't like it. You can't have it both ways.

I was thinking it would be a bad idea to have a bar at a zoo, because drunks would climb into the habitats ad get mauled and eaten. That's probably why they don't have bars inside zoos.

If someone ran for President and their last name was Schmesident, you could take part in the political process by voting for them, and still make a scathing commentary on the state of American politics.

In Hebrew, God's name YWHW was written without vowels and was never spoken aloud. When Moses asked God His name, He replied I Am. It was forbidden to make images of Him. This didn't make Him unknowable: It just meant that we had to understand Him in His own terms, not confining Him with our own clumsy words, or limiting Him with pictures or statues, or restricting Him to buildings or churches. These things are signposts, not destinations. Seek God and you'll find Him in places you never thought to look and in ways you never imagined.

How come every time I hear a debate about gay marriage it always turns into a debate about whether being gay is a choice, whether it's unnatural, whether it's moral. None of that should enter into the question about whether gays and lesbians should have the same Constitutional rights as everyone else.

Just watched Sunday's Once Upon A Time. Amy Acker? Still hot.

A therapist is like a best friend that you pay

I've never met a nice guy who had a neck tattoo

I asked God if I could go back in time and He said If you promise not to make the same mistakes as you did the first time, no drinking or running around and I was like, Nah, nevermind.

Today is the day set aside to commemorate the day Kal-El's rocket landed on Earth. Super Tuesday.

I have lots of friends who are only friends when they need friends

You know that I Will Always Love You? I will always hate that song. Forever.

Watching DVDs of Friends and realizing how old this show is, none of the characters even have cell phones

Always expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed. Unless something good happens. That would suck.

I'd rather have friends like the friends on the show Friends than a family like the family on the show Family or work in an office like the office on the show The Office

It would be hard being married to a ventriliquist if their dummy didn't like you.

Also if a ventriliquist gets married and doesn't choose the dummy as his best man, I bet it would be really awkward

Woke up with a back spasm this morning and had trouble getting out of bed, so this is the first morning of 2012 that I haven't worked out. Now I'm worried that the back spasm was just an excuse and maybe I didn't work out because I didn't want to work out, and maybe secretly I'm just being lazy.

For Lent I'm giving up hope

Enlightenment comes when we stop believing that God is on our side against the rest of the world and we start acting as if we're on God's side making the world a better place.

Being weak is a sign of weakness

Life sucks, love is dead, people are jerks, nothing is fair and the glass is all the way empty.

I can't stand people who are missing their upper metatarsal joints. I'm Lack-Toes Intolerant.

I'm so apolitical that I don't even like hearing people talk about how apolitical they are

I need a new best friend. Who's up for it?

Went to church for a Bible study and there were like 10 people there for an AA meeting but no one to lead it and so I, never having done it before, just stepped in and led the meeting.

The cute Latino girl at the coffee stand told me that she'd been thinking all day long about something I said to her yesterday. Phase One: Complete. Time to start wearing an eye patch and laughing maniacally.

It's International Women's Day. Going to Hooters to celebrate.

Admitting I'm an alcoholic doesn't embarrass me. Unlike most of the things I've done because of alcohol.

Everyone is always saying that people come into my life for a reason. I know that already. I ignore them for a reason.

Having no short term memory would suck. But you know what else would suck? Having no short term memory.

It's kind of funny to watch someone who once stalked you stalking someone else.

I want to one day have so much money that when I need to take time to find myself, I can just hire a team of private investigators

She's afraid to remove her band aid but I think she can pull it off

OMG Mr. T what happened to you? You look like a badly drawn caricature of yourself that someone left out in the rain.

I love nature, despite all that nature's done to me

I wish I could go into hiding for about a month

Whenever someone has to explain to you that they don't feel guilty about what they did and there was nothing wrong with, it means that they do and there is

The best revenge is living well. The second best revenge is punching someone.

I believe that everyone could benefit from some form of therapy, but especially crazy people.

Does anybody know how we met all these people on our Facebook friends list? Here is a task for you. Comment on this status and tell me how we met.. After you do that copy this in your status you'll be amazed at the answers in 12 hours..

I think True Love Ways is one of the saddest songs ever

Things you hear a lot on TV but rarely hear in real life: It's a crazy idea BUT IT JUST MIGHT WORK!!

Duct tape can fix a lot of things, but take it from me, a bad haircut is not one of them. Just let it go, cause it's gone, man.

One good way for families to communicate is to doing each other's voices back at each other in an exagerrated, mocking way. I don't mean good way I mean the way my family does.

One of my kids is more sensitive than the other. WHen I ran across a busy street at rush hour to get a picture of a sunset, he rolled his eyes and said Stay gold, Ponyboy. That one got the sarcasm gene.

Once I rode a magical creature from mythology that had the body of a unicorn and the head of a regular horse

Sometimes we'll cry, sometimes we'll sigh, and we'll know why just you and I know true love ways

‎You're more awesome than a monkey wearing a tuxedo made out of bacon and riding a cyborg unicorn with a lightsaber for the horn

I don't need to be first. I don't need to be right. I don't need to lead, or be the expert or the authority. I don't need attention or sympathy or even praise. This is the first step to being awesome.

I used to collect snowglobes of exotic faraway places like Rome and Paris, and I would stare into them for hours and wonder what it would be like to live there. I think it would be nice, except that every so often the whole city gets flipped upside down and shaken, and then it snows for a long time.

When you die, you won't wish you had spent more time at work, but you'll wish you had more time with your family. Altough either would probably be better than dying.

There should be a Jeopardy category called Phil Collins songs where he sings the title of the song over and over. That one would be tough.

If two people have Mono, wouldn't that be Stereo?

Sometimes depression is like a physical weight on your shoulders. It's not even like giving up hope, it's like forgetting that there even is such a thing as hope.

Maybe I should just make an anonymous blog and just post all the negative stuff out there in the universe and that might just get rid of it all.

I do more before 9am than most people do before 8am

To the lady in the Claritin commercial who so desperately needs Claritin to spend quality time with her cats: maybe you should rethink your choice of pets.

I wonder if Tony Danza and Bruce Springstein have ever fought about who's the boss.

If there was a woman who Bruce Banner hated but the Hulk was in love with, then Banner would see her and get all mad and turn into the Hulk, then the Hulk would see her and calm down and turn back, and it could conceivably go on like that forever.

For Lent, I'm giving up Being In Denial

I glanced at a financial magazine and the headline said Where Women Are In Charge only I thought for a second it said Whore Women Are In Charge and I was like I wonder what companies they're profiling this week?

I think the Disney Channel should remake Red Dawn with the cast of High School Musical, and instead of shooting the Russians, they challenge them to a dance-off, and the winner gets North America

My autobiography will be called Welcome To Awesometown

The problem with meeting women in bars is that you only meet people who hang out in bars

The original Red Dawn, released in the summer of 1984, was the first movie to ever be rated PG-13

In the future, people will be able to be home-schooled, take online college courses, telecommute, order online pizza and Chinese food, and never have to leave the house their whole entire lives.

You know how every time you hear about a robbery being stopped, it's always an off-duty cop that does it? I think if all cops were off-duty, all the time, there would be no more crime.

A marijuana activist with a brain tumor says she was kicked out of a California hospital for using a medical marijuana vaporizer. We used to just call that a water bong.

Watching Friends from the beginning, season three episode four is the first time anyone even mentions a cell phone. Only they call them cellulars. Fun stuff.

The Lou Ferrigno Hulk beats the Six Million Dollar Man. Worf the Klingon beats the Hulk. The Greatest American Hero beats Worf.

Homeless guy stopped me today and said Can you spare three hundred dollars? And I said Why three hundred? and he said Because I don't have any money, I'm homeless. I give the guy an A for effort. Bought him a cup of coffee.

I've done everything I can do on Facebook and I need to go to bed but here I sit.

If I had my own religion we'd believe that Satan speaks through parrots. He says hello a lot.

It wouuld be great if I was friends with a giant who carried me around in a front harness like a baby. I don't know why I just thought that.

I just read an article @ Den of Geek that said the next Die Hard movie would be I Don't Know Why She Swallowed A Fly, Perhaps She'll Die Hard

Two different people I know are now using the term mo-fo in conversation just since I started saying it.

Whenever I hear the Doobie Brothers, it's like a haunting echo of a gentler, happier time

I generally avoid the use of smiley faces or any kind of LOL-type abbreviations.

Someone hacked my Facebook account and started telling all my friends what I really think about them.

In my religion, there will be elaborate burial rituals preceeded by an extended mourning period during which the body is embalmed with an elaborate mixture of spices and then walked around Weekend-At-Bernie's style on a three-day pub crawl

I had a great idea but I don't think anyone cares enough to hear it

Remember back in the 80's when we ran, we ran so far away?

We used to play this drinking game where every time someone denied they had a drinking problem, we all took a shot. We would play for years at a time.

Sometimes I wish had girls instead of boys. Or dogs or monkeys, or anything really. Not teenage boys.

Unusual sleep patterns like onset insomnia (difficulty getting to sleep) or hypersomnia (excessive sleeping) can be indicative of depression, but the most common is nocturnal awakening, or Middle of the night insomnia where you may not have difficulty getting to sleep, but you would tend to wake up very early and not be able to get back to sleep.

Henry Lighthorse Harry Lee served as a cavalry officer under George Washington during the American Revolution. Martha Washington's granddaughter Mary Custis married Henry Lee's son, Robert E. Lee. Lee's contemporary in the Virginia Calvary during the U.S. Civil War, George Smith Patton, was the grandfather of WWII General George S. Patton III

At a little diner in downtown Lawrenceville, had a conversation about Chaos Theory and deterministic systems with the waitress. My life is a David Lynch movie sometimes.

St. Patrick brought religion to Ireland, which has really worked out well for them. Drink up, everybody.

If I had a hammer, I would have a hard time deciding if I would hammer in the evening or hammer in the morning.

Teenagers post lyrics to depressing songs on Facebook and old people like me think they're real or there's something wrong with them (other than the normal stuff that's wrong with all teenagers). I should get back at them and post lyrics to songs I know, but then they'll probably just start posting comments like WHy are you at the Hotel California? And why can't you leave if you've already checked out?

A good name for a punk band would be Chandler's Third Nipple

My kids haven't seen their mom in almost three years and still throw back in my face stuff that she says about me. I lead a charmed life.

Drugs are bad. Stay in school.

A man cave is a manly place where men can go to do manly things and be with other men

On the show Pretty Little Liars, is there a fireman character to help out when all their pretty little pants are on fire?

Any big government conspiracy would require a degree of intelligence and organization that every government in history has consistently proven itself incapable

Everytime I hear that Steely Dan song that goes This is the day of the expanding man, I always think The Expanding Man sounds like a great super-villian

Yesterday I went to church and got three hugs. I consider it significant because it's up from my usual, which is zero.

No one told me life was gonnna be this way, my job's a joke, I'm broke, my love life's DOA. It's like I'm always stuck in second gear, because it hasn't been my day, my week, my month or even my year.

What if there was a person who could accomplish everything you've ever accomplished in your whole life with one-tenth of the effort and twice as fast, and they were better looking and nicer? You would probably hate that person.

Thai food is like the Chinese version of Mexican food

I bet in a parallel universe there's a show about a guy who builds houses whose name is Doctor

When you go to therapy, just saying your problems out loud doesn't by itself solve your problems, in case you were wondering

I'm going to be confident from now on, and to demonstrate my confidence I'm going to start talking out loud about how smart I am.

I hate it when people start talking to me about subjects I didn't ask them about and have no interest in, especially when I'm on an elevator

The song Ready Or Not (Jackson Browne, 1973) described the unplanned pregnancy of Browne's girlfriend, model Phyllis Major. She gave birth to Ethan Browne and the couple married in 1975. Major overdosed on sleeping pills a few months later, and Browne collaborated with her mother on the song Here Come Those Tears Again in memorial. Ethan Browne is an actor best known for his roles on soaps and a role in the movie Raising Helen.

in the song Tequila Sunrise where it goes wonder why the right words never come I always thought it said wonder why the wild woods never come

It's easy to just dismiss ideas as childish or stupid just because you might disagree with them, it's easy to laugh at people who are different and refuse to grow. That's why I do all those things.

It's hard to keep talking when no one is listening. And yet I manage somehow.

On TV, car chases, bomb defusions and fist fights are all valid forms of therapy

In the insect world, the female immediately and without hesitation sucks the life from the male after mating, leaving behind a soulless husk that was once her partner. This is opposed to human females, who marry the males and drag the process out over many years.

A good thriller would be called The Nice List about a serial killer called The Grinch who got hold of Santa's list and started systematically killing off everyone, and Santa joins forces with John McClane and Jason Bourne to hunt him down before he kills again.

When you see a baby, approach with caution, it could be a wild baby

If Americans get much fatter, we won't need plus sizes, we'll need multiplication sizes

Maurice is a really bad name for a Space Cowboy. A better name would be Bucky Darkstar.

YOu know what would be a good TV show? You don't even care, do you?

I'm giving up wearing socks for Lint

Admiring people for doing good is nice. Doing good yourself is right. Believing truth helps you. Acting on truth helps others.

Be the change that you want to see in your pocket

Why do I even bother?

Why do people try to be cutesy by writing the word bye with a bunch of e's at the end? That doesn't evn make sense. The E is silent.

I hate it when I miss the train by one second. I get so mad I could wipe out a whole planet. But not really. Maybe a small planet, with no people on it. On second thought, that sounds like a lot of work. Nevermind, I'm over it.

If I owned a wrapping paper outlet store it would be Crazy Eddie's Wrapping Paper Emporium and my commercial spokesman would be a wild-eyed preacher who keeps predicting The Wrapture every week.

Family is not always about blood. But keep a first aid kit around, just in case.

Yemen is a country. It's not a noise a baby makes trying to say lemon or Helen

Click like on this post and copy and paste it to your own Facebook wall if you don't like being manipulated into doing pointless things. I know you'll do it if you're really and truly my friend.

If you were a woman and your name was Gale, and you had tornado super-powers, then that could be your name and your superhero name

I don't know anyone named Martha so whenever someone says Do you know where Martha is? My immediate response is No, I do not.

I do NOT want to drive to Barrow County tonight but I promised Indy. Barrow County almost killed me before.

I'm not going anywhere today, I'm not driving anywhere except maybe up to the car wash, I'm not spending any money on anything, I'm not even talking to anyone...I'm cleaning my house and working out and watching TV and putting in some work time.

Today would have been my 22nd wedding anniversary

Spent $115 on groceries that would have cost $50-$60 like five years ago. I don't know why or how, but this is Obama's fault

Indy rarely uses the vacuum cleaner. It sounds like he just vacuumed up a whole box of thumbtacks and a hundred marbles.

My friend said she was going to read the Bible all the way through. I told her everyone dies at the end.

I bet really really rich people don't send teddy bears to tell women that they love them, because they can afford to send real bears. Especially rich people who don't think things all the way through.

Never let the tears in your eyes blind you to the things that are really making you sad

If I was an inanimate object, I would choose something as well-loved and beautiful as a pinata. Only maybe not so hung from a tree and beat with sticks

Simon of Cyrene was the man compelled by the Romans to carry the cross of Jesus as Jesus was taken to his crucifixion, according to all three Synoptic Gospels. Because his home town, Cyrene, Libya, was located in northern Africa, a connection arose making Simon of Cyrene the first African saintly Christian. Cyrene, a Greek colony, also had a Jewish community where 100,000 Judean Jews had settled during the reign of Ptolemy Soter (323-285 BC) and was an early center of Christianity.

I don't know how it happened but I was looking at a friend list on my droid and then it sent out friend requests to people I don't even know

She asked me why couldn't our relationship always be as magical as that first night we met. I told her because we'd have to stay drunk all the time.

Everyone in Jesus's family used to hate the quiche that Mary made for Easter brunch. That's why they started hiding the eggs.


Why is it considered polite manners to cover your mouth when you yawn but not when you talk?

If there's ever a biological or chemical attack, instead of having guys in HAZMAT suits scrub people down in sterile tents, I hope they just fill waterslides with disinfectants, because who says decontamination can't be fun too?

When you take a tiny magnet and stick it to your refrigerator, there are two forces at work: One, the electromegnetic field of the tiny magnet itself making it stick to the metal, and two, the gravitational field of the entire planet Earth pulling it downwards. No theory postulated - General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Particle or Wave Physics, String Theory, Supersymmetry - has ever explained gravity, or the imbalance between it and the other fundamental forces in the universe.

I'm a bad man

Congratulations on accepting my friend request Grace Lee-Zimmerman, you just won a lifetime supply of AWESOME!!!

Having once embraced the rigors of Asceticism and the sensual indulgences of his father's palace, Gautama Buddha came to embrace The Middle Way, disavowing both practices for a life of balance. The Buddha did not propound a dogma, nor did he ask or encourage others to follow: He spoke of his own experience and asked only that the ascetics who gathered around him make up their own minds and accept only those teaching that made sense to them.

If my last name was Powers and my first name was Will, I would make millions helping people lose weight and quit smoking

I just read about a high school that banned hugging. I don't see what's the big deal. When I was in school, hugs were always banned. At least, that's what all the girls told me.

Everyone lies, except me. Wait that was a lie. See what I mean? Dammit!

Someone told me to make every day exceptional. I explained that exceptional is a comparative term setting each day on a scale in relation to every other day, and what she proposed would just raise the mean score and make no day exceptional, thus you'd be better off just having a crappy day so that good days would stand out. Then she told me to shut the hell up.

If I stop posting funny things, people forget who I am

Believe in your dreams and they'll come true. Unless there's something wrong with you and you're not doing it right.

When we accept our self-destructive tendencies as part of our nature, we cheat ourselves. The best part of humanity is that we can choose to overcome our own nature.

Ligers, the offspring of male lions and female tigers, possess both the highly structured social instincts of lions and the solitary hunter-stalker nature of tigers. Unable to reconcile their competing instincts, they can be very aggressive and eventually exhibit signs of insanity. It's kind of how I feel with my big family at Thanksgiving.

I need to go to bed but I'm not finished BEING AWESOME!!!

OK you know that thing that goes around the internet that says I don't care who you are, if you're nice to me I'll be nice to you...? So what? Anyone can do that. It's being nice to the people who aren't nice to you that's the challenge.

I woke up this morning and everything was great, the birds were singing and the kids were smiling and happy and work was so great, and then I woke up again and realized I'd been dreaming and everything still sucks.

They say that human beings are over 80% water, but I'm pretty sure at one point in my 20s, I was at least 50% tequila

If there's ever a nuclear war and everyone goes bald, do you know who I'll feel most sorry for? The traveling cast of Hair.

I saw a guy in a suit this morning on the train. He was trying to make everyone else feel underdressed. Jerk.

I've decided to say yes to life, even when life asks me stupid questions

Which is better, religion or pudding? Lots of people have fought and died for religion, but pudding has never hurt anyone.

Fight world hunger. Have a snack.

I tried to encourage someone today and they cried. It was moving and awkward at the same time.

Arguing with people on the internet is like having a loogie contest or mud wrestling. Even if you win, you're still immature, and dirty, and so, so wrong.

If you're going to apply for a job as a UN translator, you're going to have to do better than getting up in people's faces and speaking English really loud

You can choose to be optimistic and believe that everything's always going to turn out for the best, or you can choose negativity and pessimism and expect the worst, or you can live without expectations and always try to show kindness and compassion no matter how you feel about it or how things turn out.

I'm inside your head now

Instead of bros before hos I like to say brothers before mothers

Did anyone else think last night's episode of Community was the strangest half-hour of TV they've ever see??? Seriously, a guy named Subway...?

Most people read a book and they see the pictures in their mind and they think This would make a good movie. But I do the opposite: WHen I watch a movie I always imagine how the author would describe things and where the chapter breaks would go and I think This would make a great book.

I'm old enough to not give a crap but young enough to still do stuff to get away with

‎79 yr old Honduran woman came into the co-op and was almost embarrassed to say she hardly spoke English, but then when I interviewed her she was funny and engaging. She said she's been in the States 42 yrs. I told her from now on when people ask, she can go on and tell them she speaks English.

When someone is always sad, that's probably indicative of depression. When someone is always happy, it's probably indicative of insanity.

Brunch is just breakfast for functional alcoholics

Never say never. Unless you're saying Never say Never, then you kind of have to say it, twice, actually. So never say never unless you're saying never say never. Otherwise, just say Probably Never.

What a depressing day yesterday turned out to be.

I hate it seeing my kids hurting, it makes me wish I could take the hurt for them.

Eaten by the monster of love

Always think positive, except when you're taking a drug test.

I was gone from Facebook for three days and no one even noticed.

You're only as old as your age

Be quiet everyone. This song reminds me of someone. Let me stare off into space whilst it plays.

Here's a tip for all my friends in the business world: When you're in a meeting at the end of the day with 10 other people and it's 80 degrees out and you're talking on and on and ON about a subject only two other people know anything about and only one of them is even there, NO ONE IS IMPRESSED WITH HOW SMART YOU ARE!!!

I am off work for two days and was going to go hiking on Friday but almost everyone who was going has backed out. One guy said he forgot there was something else he wanted to do. Somedays I hate people. I need new friends.

It's Markday!! I got up as usual at 4am, worked out, cleaned up a little bit, and sat on the couch and WENT RIGHT BACK TO SLEEP!! Tomorrow, it looks like a bunch of my random friends are all going hiking with me, who wants to join us?? Come on!!

If you have to tell someone how crazy you and your friends are, you're probably boring. If you talk about how much you don't care what other people think of you, it's probably because you really want everyone to think that you're the type of person who doesn't care what people think of you. If you have to tell people you don't like drama, it's probably because you're around drama all the time because you love it because you're boring and you really want people to think you're interesting.

I need to get moving. I've got a busy schedule ahead of me all day BEING AWESOME!!!

I bet it gets confusing around Sting's house when there's an emergency and someone has to call for the police and Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers show up hoping for a reunion. AWKWARD!

WHen the apocalypse comes, the worst part will be that even the ones who survive will be sitting at home saying God! Why are they interrupting all my favorite shows just for weather reports about fire tornadoes and giant tsunamis?? We get it!

I signed up for a workout regimen that said several times a day you would stop what you were doing and do several deep lunges. I thought they said deep LUNCHES.

My son just complained that there was nothing to eat in the entire house, and we can't even go grocery shopping because there's no room in the freezer, and then got mad when I pointed out that both of things cannot be true.

Some punk in the Kroger parking lot probably about 17 driving with his friend and he was leaning out his window talking to this lady who seemed to be ignoring him, so I ignored him too. Then when I walked past he said Hey man, I like your shirt. Those will be coming back in style any time now. And his friend in the seat next to him started laughing. So without even thinking I said Thanks, I think it's great that you support your blind friends by letting them cut your hair. Because it's always funny to make fun of someone's haircut. EVen just the word haircut is funny.

If I owned a sock company I would advertise with the slogan Socks: They're Like Shoes But They're Soft

I got candy and stuff to do Easter baskets for my kids even though they're 12 and 15. Also I am making pancakes tomorrow that are butterscotch, peanut butter, and coconut (but not all together).

The Resurrection tells us Who Christ is and reveals His Divine nature. If Jesus was just a man, His message of loving your neighbor and turning the other cheek and praying for your enemies rings hollow; anyone can preach non-violence, when there is no other choice. Without the Resurrection, Christ's followers are left defeated, following the martyred leader of a movement that would be a footnote in history. The Resurrection tells us that He is God, that His sacrifice was willing, and that He suffers for our brokenness. By His death we were reconciled to God, but by His Resurrection we are victorious. Happy Easter.

The coconut pancakes were a hit this morning but the peanut butter ones not so much. We had Easter with my family and then spent some time with Monica Tobon Kincaid and Richie Kincaid and now back home getting ready for work and school tomorrow. Why can't every weekend be four days long?

When one of my kids says there's something they want, my first thought is of all the things I would have to do to make that happen, followed by what a pain in the ass it will be to have to do all those things, and then I think that I'm a good parent for the first thought and a bad parent for the second thought, but since I had the good one first that breaks the tie.

That awkward moment when you're having a conversation with someone at work about superhero movies and you realize they don't know what you're talking about

It's a goood feeling when you come back to work after four days off and your boss asks you a bunch of complicated questions and you know all the answers.

I wonder if they had to get rid of all the mirrors in Justice League headquarters because Hawkman kept walking into them. Because birds are like that.

With great power comes lots of swimsuit models

If I had spider-powers, I wouldn't fight crime, I'd wash windows on skyscrapers. Cha-Ching!

If there was an Asian guy whose name was Chi Ching, he could make a lot of money working in Vegas

If Luke Skywalker was ever late for anything he could just say Sorry I'm late but there was a disturbance in the Force. And what could anyone say? Nothing. That's probably one reason people didn't like making plans with Jedi Knights.

I believe in being tolerant of all religions, nationalities, ethnicities, and political leanings, because I don't give a crap one way or another.

Workiing in a clown delivery room would be hard because the babies would just keep coming out one right after the other

I'm not one of those guys who has a need for everyone to like me. It just happens that way all by itself.

What would be an awesome natural wonder is if someone figured out how to combine quicksand with one of those geysers, so like, some teenage adventurer is out in the jungle with his scientist dad, and the dad slowly sinks into the quicksand and the whole adventure team is sitting there crying, and *BLAM!!* he comes flying up out of the quicksand going Whoaaaahh! AWESOME!!

One of the saddest things in nature is an elephant sitting in a bar, drinking, and trying to forget. Another one is a giraffe panicking as it sinks in quicksand, waiting for the end to come. Also, a deaf bat.

I'm feeling very antisocial today

If I was on the roof of a burning building and the only way off was by helicopter, but the helicopter was being flown by an angry, rabid bear, I would probably take my chances with the bear but I wouldn't be happy about it.

I never take any pleasure in someone else's pain, but it's hard to muster any sympathy for someone who treats people like doormats when they complain that someone else treats them badly.

Who wants to be my Friend of The Day? Comment on this post and tell me why you'd make a good Friend of The Day. Winner will be announced tomorrow.

Laughter is the best medicine if you don't have insurance

If you want to feel good about yourself, surround yourself with people who praise and support you. If you want to grow and improve, learn to listen to your critics.

Bruce Springstein's Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out sounds like Tin Devil And The Freed Grout

So I've been facilitating these 12 step meetings and usually only one guy shows up. Tonight he texts me and says he won't be there but I go anyway. And one guy showed up, a new guy, who really needed to be there. I don't know how much a difference it makes, me continuing to do this, but I was thinking even if it's never more than one person at a time, one hour at a time, just think if everyone did it, what could start happening. So there's that.

It's ok to lie to Communists

A good religious reality show would be about Catholic priests performing exorcisms and it could be called Pimp My Soul

Man I want to get paid to make predictions about gas prices

Some things are funny because people are stupid. Don't you agree?

I don't understand why those We Buy Gold places hire people to stand at the curb with signs to direct people inside. Do they think people will just impulsively sell whatever jewelry they happen to be wearing? Or are they hoping to draw in people who gamble compusively?

If I believed that people were basically good and would always do the right thing and look for each other, and if I believed that government was efficient and incorruptible, I would be a liberal. But I'm not.

Apparently there's a dumbass convention in town this weekend and the bus just let off right by my office

I like movies where the guy has his heart set on the girl of his dreams and he lets her know exactly how he feels and even though she might run away, he stays faithful and doesn't give up on her no matter how many mistakes they might make. Like 500 Days of Summer, or The Princess Bride, or The Terminator

Here's my impression of a teenage girl on Facebook: I love love, and I love loving love!

I bet someone could take all the TV spots, clips and commercials for The Avengers and piece together the entire movie right now on the internet

Sometimes I like to take a good long look at myself in the mirror and just reflect. In the mirror.

I bought $90 worth of Easter candy for less than $20

Thirty or Forty years ago, everyone was up in arms about the amount of sugar in the American diet and they sold us on a natural alternative, high fructose corn syrup. Now everyone is saying HFCS is too processed and unhealthy and they want us to start going back to a healthier, more natural alternative. Sugar.

In Heaven, everyone is laid back. Because they're all dead, and nothing is more laid back than dead.

Trying to eat healthier so I got some turkey bacon. It's like an unholy perversion of all that is bacon, the anti-christ of pork products, a turkey in swine's clothing. Never again.

I thought levees were supposed to be dry. Isn't that the whole point of having a levee?

If you have a thing about dating police officers, the good thing about it is that you never have to ask for their phone number, because it's always 911

A good name for a Bond Girl would be Janet Talia

My kids scream at their video games so much that if there was ever an actual emergency in my house, I wouldn't even know it because I'm so immune to their yelling

I don't think frozen, non-dairy soy almonnd extract will ever catch on as an alternative to ice cream, because I can never imagine a kid running down the streeet to catch up to the Frozen, Non-Dairy Soy Almond Extract Man

Today the ice people celebrate 100 years since the Titanic destroyed their home

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for heart attacks, spinal cord injuries, most genetic disorders, mental illness and chemical dependency.

Your body needs lots of antioxidants. For those who aren't quite as scientific as I am, antioxidants are little molecules that carry little picket signs that say Down With Oxidants

Here's some Presidential trivia for you: FDR suffered from a rare condition called Phobiphobia, the fear of fear itself

If there was a self-help book for dogs it could be called Who's A Good Boy? YOU'RE A Good Boy!

If there was a religion just for firemen, it would probably be the Ladder Day Saints

A good Tv show would be about a quirky, independent girl named Jenna who does things her own way and makes all her own rules, and she teaches a class of misfits how to spell. The twist would be it's a school for ninjas. I'm flexible on all the plot points except the name, because I want to call the show Jenna! (With the exclamation point). Also, there needs to be ninjas.

I made a mini-model of the Titanic but it hit an icecube and sank

A good movie would be Titanic 2130 about a spaceship that hits an ice-asteroid and everyone dies. Wait, did I say good? I meant suck.

Many years ago I taught my kids the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, as well as the importance of the Middle Way of Siddhartha. I've never preached it or pushed it on them or drilled it into their heads, so I was surpised recently when my son started asking me about it, and how much of it he remembered for all these years. It just goes to show you, you never know.

When you say to someone I'll always be here for you no matter what, you've just given them permission to treat you like a doormat and forfeited any right to complain about it.

I don't have anything to say

There should be a dating service that matches up people who talk too much with deaf people

If you took all those great stories about the stuff that you did when you were drunk, and you left out the part about how you were drunk when you did those things, people would think you were brain-damaged

Think about all the music we would have missed out on in the 70's if they'd had some good anti-depressants back then

Admit it, you're just a little bit in love with me, aren't you?

There are no words left for me to say

I love Bill Maher even though I disagree with most of what he says, I think it's good to listen to people who challenge us and make us think, even if they're openly hostile. I love reading right-wing Christian blogs even though most of them are self-righteous and close-minded (I said most). I think people should expose themselves to all points of view.

I hate wishy-washy people who can't make up their minds, although sometimes they're not so bad

Stopped by Publix today and the cashier asked me if I qualified for the senior discount, and the last little bit of my soul died right there at the check-out stand

The less you like yourself, the more you like the people who don't like you

Someone drunk-dialed me at 4:56am. I didn't recognize the number or the voice but it was a woman with a 706 area code, and she mumbled something and then said she loves me and hung up. Is it wrong that I'm wondering what she looks like?

Did you ever have one of those moments when life was like a joke? A Priest and a Rabbi just got on the train with me

When you live with fear, danger will come from that which you do not fear. When you are mindful, fear has no power.

My boss told me wear a tie to meet a corporate VIP today. When I got here early I met a guy in the elevator wearing a suit and I joked with him about how underdressed I was. He just laughed. So I just met the VIP guy. My luck, he's the same guy.

She asked me to get her some Chubby Hubby ice cream. Isn't there a more frightening flavor of ice cream to ask me to get?

You know those workshop signs that say Days Since Our Last Accident? They should have one in Washington that says Days Since Someone Compared Someone Else To Hitler. Seriously, who did people compare each other to before WWII?

Today I think I'm gonna go down to the fillin' station and get me a bottle of pop, then head on over to Thelma Lou's to watch some television. Yeeeeah, that's the plan, go down to the fillin' station for a bottle of pop, then on over to Thelma Lou's to watch some television. Can't beat it: Fillin' station. Bottle of pop. Thelma Lou's. Television.

Helping the helpless, defeating the feetless

Everytime someone tells me to visualize the thing I want most, I visualize them shutting the hell up

So I made some calls yesterday and thanks to the help of some good caring friends, I found a local support group for parents who have lost children. This is for the woman I talked to yesterday who lost her 10 year old son last summer, who didn't have insurance and couldn't afford counseling. Hopefully this will help.

I wonder if Thor has people going door to door saying I'm here to talk to you today about Odin.

It's Earth Day!! Suck it, Neptune!!

I know it's Earth Day but my favorite planet is still the sun. It's like the King of the Planets.

As far as I'm concerned, movies that are not in the widescreen format are crimes against nature.

I try to live my life by a very simple philosophy, and that is to help when I can and live with no expectations. When good things happen for people I encounter, that's exciting and that's what interests me so I may post it here or in my blog. I don't want praise for myself on how good I'm doing. It's not about Look at me, look what I've done! it's just Hey look what happened isn't that awesome?! I don't feel like I've done good, but that I've got to witness or be a part of something good. If you don't like reading it, just don't read it. It's funny how 20 or 25 people sharing a good experience can be undone by one hater with stupid comments.

When I'm out there on the mean streets with nothing but a badge and a gun between me and a million scumbags, I need to know my partner has my back

I am so freaking tired!!

If you had to move to Canada, what would confuse you most: The metric system, adding the letter u to words like favorite, or writing out dates with the day in front of the month?

If there was a race of people with giant heads, they would probably think bobbleheads were really racist

If I owned a news station, I would run promos around the clock that say Are socks killing your children? Tune in at 11 to find out! and then at 11 I would hype it all the way up until 11:29 and then I would be, like, Of course not, don't be stupid!

Today I was thinking about my life and how blessed I am, and how really there's only one thing missing to make me truly happy, and that is absolute power over every living being in the entire universe

The other day I read about someone comparing Obama's policies to Red China, and I thought FINALLY someone isn't saying Hitler to describe a political opponent.

I'm a rocket man, burnin' all the shoes off every lawn....

If you want to know which of your Facebook friends are self-involved, post something abou people who are self-involved and see which ones are sure you're talking about them.

When I was in Catholic school, the nuns taught me the Seven Deadly Sins, only I thought it was a To-Do list

No matter what their religion or race or nationality, almost everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

I bet the people who make Shout laundry detergent have been bugging the crap out of the guys in Tears For Fears for the last 25 years trying to get the rights to that song

I married the girl of my dreams. Unfortunately it was that dream where you wake up screaming in terror.

I'm not anti-marriage but I am pro-not-gettinng-married

It would be awkward if, like at the end of one of those romance movies, someone ran a long way to try to catch the plane/bus/whatever before the love of their life was gone forever, and then when they got there, plane/bus/whatever was delayed and they had to just kind of stand there loooking at each other

A true measure of success is how long it would take to train a monkey to do your job. If it's more than a week, you've pretty much made it. The one exception to the rule is astronaut.

Couldn't find a clean towel so I told my kid to wash a load of towels before he went to bed. He said Will you start the dryer when you get up in the morning? So I said yeah. So I got up this morning and the towels were washed, AND ALREADY IN THE DRYER, but the dryer had never been turned on.

So aggravated today and I don't know why, just everything is annoying me. I want to yell and cry at the same time. This must be like what it's like being a woman. Now I get it.

I'm never too busy to let someone know I don't give a crap

I don't care if people like me or don't like me. It's the neutral people who have no opinion that I can't stand. Jerks.

Read past the headline. Look beneath the surface. Take a second to really listen to what someone is saying. You don't have to travel the world to be amazed.

Why do people say You've got to be kidding me about things that, if I was kidding, wouldn't be at all funny?

I believe that romantic love is a societal construct that originates with the biological instinct to procreate and is perpetuated by religious and governmental concerns as a means of keeping the populace distracted, ineffective and docile.

The new Die Hard movie is a prequel about terrorists who take over John McClane's kindergarten. It's called Why Oh Why Did She Swallow That Fly? Perhaps She'll Die Hard

You know what's funny? When people get nervous and they start saying No and then Yeah over and over, so much that you don't even know if they mean yes or no

You know what would be embarrassing? Getting beat up by a gang of babies.

I hate it when people do stuff that I hate on Facebook but I can't complain about it on Facebook because they'll know that I'm talking about them. So, you know who you are, stop doing that thing that you know that you're doing.

Cinco De Mayo is on May 5 this year

YOu guys don't have to worry about hurting my feelings because I don't have any

A good superhero team would be Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan, the Lone Ranger and Frankenstein

‎We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books . It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranges and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that moves the constellations. - Albert Einstein

If when you say I've given up trying to impress anyone, you mean that you've decided stop putting on airs and trying really hard to be funny and likable, instead focusing on expressing your own thoughts and feelings, that's a good thing. But if you mean that you've stopped showering and making yourself presentable, that's a bad thing.

Someone who studies the daughters of the last Czar of Russia would be an Anastasiologist

I've always thought of science as a way of understanding the universe as we observe, what can be measured and repeated and defined. Faith is our belief in things that can't be seen, measured or defined. There is no conflict. One is not more moral than the other. No one has to choose one over the other.

If you learn to open your heart, you can save a lot of time in the operating room

Why don't people make umbrellas and rain gear out of duck feathers?

Would a better man than me find certain personalities less annoying, or does it just mean I'm honest enough to admit what most people are already thinking?

Feeling discouraged and unappreciated, someone needs to suffer

Geppetto was the worst father in fairytale land, he was always like Why can't you be a real boy like your friends?

Isn't it weird that all Geppetto wanted was a son and he didn't wish for a wife? On second thought maybe not.

The reason I drank so much for so long is because I was taught from a very early age to pick my battles, only I thought they said bottles and I just kept picking them.

The evil queen is way hotter than Snow White.

If you ever have to give CPR to a clown, I bet it makes a honking sound every time you do a chest compression.

Work from home always raises the age-old question: Who's cuter, Sabrina on Raising Hope or Annie on Community?

When someone wins a big medal like the Congressional Medal of Honor, instead of just giving them the medal, it would be better if the President just kept a big drawer of medals and he let the prize-winner pick the one they like best. It just seems like it would be more fun that way.

Do high-class English people pronounce tornado tor-NAH-doh?

Why do guys always fall all over themselves telling women how good they look, and then say they want a woman who doesn't know how good she looks?

Incredibly hot Mexican girl sitting next to me on the train, and suddenly I'm hoping I don't smell weird.

Cheez Its are just all right with me

It's weird that the word ironic has nothing to do with the element of iron, or ironing clothes. Is that what ironic means? Because if it is, that in itself would be ironic.

I thought of starting a dating service for dangerously unstable people, but they already have one. It's called the internet.

It's always good to try and meet people halfway, unless they're firewalkers

I want to start a foundation to train guide cats for blind dogs, and guide mice for blind cats

I call on everyone with strong political or religious opinions to join me in honoring Wednesday as the National Day of SHUT THE HELL UP!!

Whenever I'm in public and someone makes eye contact with me, I hold up my hand and go Hey, I HAVE a girlfriend, ok?

Every year, Bigfoot sends out Christmas cards that say Thank you for believing in me

If you must drive your dog around, don't let him ride shotgun. Dogs can't be trusted with firearms.

O) Cyclops

When you're in a meeting that's gone on way too long and you have like 500 things to do and just as it's time to leave the boss asks if there's anything else and there's always that one guy who will bring up a whole new subject and drags the meeting out another hour. I bet he was the kid who reminded the teacher to assign homework.

Enemies are just friends who hate you

If you see a crazy homeless dude on the train with his shirt inside-out and you tell him, trying to be helpful, it's just as likely he'll think you just challenged him to a rage-fueled death match, so be careful.

God made us imperfect, and set us in an imperfect world, not to delight in our suffering but to delight in our continued triumph over suffering; not so that we wouldn't know joy but so that we would continually find our own joy; and not so that we wouldn't understand Him but so that we would constantly choose Him every day

Am I the only one who sees what happens when you drop Mentos in Diet Coke and wonders, should people really be eating those?

My girlfriend makes me feel all squooshy inside, because I have a girlfriend and she's my girlfriend. And also, Girlfriend.

Saw an old friend on the train today who hugged me and sat and talked to me, the hot Mexican chick from two days ago got on at the next stop and she smiled at me and touched my arm and said hello, and then the crying hippy chick was getting on the train just as I was getting off and she hugged me. Two hugs and an arm touch just from riding the train.

If there were cannibal police, they would use pepper spray not just to subdue rioters, but to season to taste.

It's Markday today, and we're going to The Avengers!!

Just because a person says that they're confident and secure and they don't take any crap, and they're in charge and they don't care what anyone thinks, and that they love their lives and everything is so awesome and their marriages aren't in trouble and they have the best kids in the world and their jobs are perfect and they can't wait to see what wonderful adventures tomorrow will bring, doesn't mean that any of those things are true.

My son is a super-genius, and I just know that as soon as he figures out how to put the filter back in the vacuum cleaner, he's going to get back to work on the cancer-cure. I believe in him.

Is it ok to spay or neuter your pets if they're Catholic?

I was granted emergency custody of my kids 9 years ago, I've had sole custody for 8 years and we've lived on our own for 6 years, but there are still women who act like they know more about parenting than I do JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE WOMEN. Even women who don't have kids of their own.

Cinco De Mustard

I took my name off all the singles/dating/judge-and-reject-you websites and mailing lists, because my girlfriend is the only one who gets to judge and reject me anymore

Isn't it inconsistent that many conservative Christians believe that we're living in the Last Days, yet they deny global warming? Those two things would seem to kind of fit together. What are your thoughts?

A guy at work literally said to me the other day What the hell kind of thing is 'Cinco de Mayo'? Why would you even have a Holiday that's just a day and a month?

I wonder if the Doctors at the Mayo Clinic celebrate Cinco de Mayo by ordering sandwiches with extra Mayo?

The worst thing I ever did was cheat on my wife. I'll never forget the day she caught me, she cried, I begged her to forgive me, she said the trust was gone forever. Eventually we went to counseling but it didn't do much good, the only thing the counselor said was that we seemed to take our Monopoly games way too seriously.

Seriously SNL should change their initial to SNLF for SERIOUSLY NO LONGER FUNNY

I know how to say Hello in Korean because of the kid on Arrested Development

There should be a law that any National monument or landmark should be something that a third grader could reproduce using paper mache or popsicle sticks

I saw a commercial for a company called Edible Arrangements and all the specials they had for Mother's Day, only I thought it said Oedipal Arrangements and I was like, eeewwwww....

Goober invented the wink-click your tongue-point your finger, and for that we'll always be grateful.

I took Friday off as a vacation day and then worked 6 1/2 hours today anyway

Everyone I knew was standing at the edge of the dock, telling me to jump in the water. I didn't want to, but it was so much pier pressure.

A commercial came on where the guy asked the girl to marry him and then the stewardess announces that he went to Jared. Indy said Why would you ask someone to marry you on a plane? If she says no you're going to have to sit next to her for the whole flight.

My favorite Avenger is Black Widow, I think. But I think the best thing about her character is the way she interacts with the other characters, like Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, and Bruce Banner in The Avengers. In fact, I think she was the only thing that made Hawkeye interesting at all. So as cool as she is, I question whether she could carry an entire movie just by herself. What are your thoughts?

When Regina took out The Mad Hatter's giant hat, was I the only one thinking about Lidsville?

You can't buy premade pie crusts in Storybrook?

I'm supposed to be in bed but I'm watching dumb Youtube videos

I think it's time for the U.S. to wage a War On Stupid. I just don't think we can win.

You know that scientist in the 60's who did experiments with LSD? I wonder if the article in the scientific journal was called The Effects of Mind-Altering Substances On The Giant Purple Spider Who Lives In My Kitchen

What if it turns out Bigfoot is a highly intelligent primate that just hates to have its picture taken?

I believe in love

I haven't thrown up in a while

My kids just asked me to turn my music down.

Klingons never apologize. It's not that they think they're always right, it's just that they expect everyone else to get over it.

My girlfriend made a joke yesterday but I'm laughing about it today because her being my girlfriend makes it extra-funny. Girlfriend.

If you were in love with someone whose last name was Loving and they loved you back, then you could say you loved Loving, and you loved loving Loving's love

One really horrible lesson that girls learn from The Little Mermaid is, if you want a man to love you, stop talking completely.

A good toy for lethargic kids would be The Don't Care Bears

If there's ever a prolonged nuclear winter with all the radiation and the change in climate, I think the real danger survivors will face is snowmen coming to life like zombies with a lust for human flesh.

Two kids were talking and one said Would you marry a really tall woman? And the other one said I wouldn't care, as long as she could make me laugh. And the first one said You could just laugh at how tall she was.

Scientists have found the genetic cause of sex addiction. It's the Y-chromosome.

Johnny Cash had a Chinese mistress and an illegitimate son. It was a boy....named Hsu

I've become irrelevant

I'm never afraid to take a stand for what I believe in. Just the other day some people were talking about nuclear weapons and I said I thought nuclear war would be a bad thing.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone, I can see all the popsicles in my way

If I was Batman and had to fight Catwoman, I would carry around a vacuum cleaner, because everyone knows cats are scared of vacuum cleaners.

I am 100% against gay marriage, for people who aren't gay

Everyone hates me, even small dogs and children.

I'm not young or rich or good-looking but I'm nice (mostly) and kind of funny and I know a lot of stuff. So that's something.

The shoeshine guy was riding the train with me and eating a hot dog that smelled like vomit. I was literally getting sick just being in the same car as him. I'm sickened just thinking that someone is allowed to sell that as food.

I had to switch trains and FB told me that I was near where Paul Stapleton was. I didn't see him though.

Those bastards

Well it's official. Today, both my kids are teenagers. No more little kids.

Whenever I see a road sign that says Warning - Children Playing, it doesn't bother me, because I'm not afraid of children

You know what would be helpful? If women glowed different colors based on how crazy they were. How about it, science?

I was waiting at the seafood counter in the grocery store and the lady who worked there was making chit-chat with me, we were talking about the weather and the weekend and Mother's Day and before I knew it she was telling me about how her husband has her kids and she doesn't get to see them and can't afford a lawyer, and then she was crying and I wound up talking to her for like 20 minutes right there in the middle of the store

Watching Dr. Katz Professional Therapist and I'm reminded that once my sister Patti Atkinson told me that talking to me on the phone made her feel like she was Dr. Katz.

I don't think I would mind if my house was infested with mice, if they were intelligent and cleaned up after me and did something useful, but mice don't do that

Most people who are blunt and tell it like it is right to your face don't do so because they value honesty more, it's because they're not smart enough to be tactful

I was filling out a job application and it asked Have you ever been bonded? and I had to be honest that one time I accidentally super-glued by fingers together.

If Claire Danes was a Communist and she joined the Rockettes, then she would be the Rockette's Red Claire.

A good joke office product would be a box of paper clips that's all hooked together and doesn't come apart

Well-meaning people tell you how to feel, don't be sad, look on the bright side, think of the people who have it worse than you, whatever....the message they send is that you have no right to your feelings, that you shouldn't feel the way you do, and ultimately that there's something wrong with you.

When someone tells you something about yourself that you don't necessarily want to hear, and you question their motives (Are they just being mean or sincerely trying to help?) and then you wonder, if it is true, is it a habit or train of thought that I can work on improving about myself, or is it something so inherent in my nature that I'll just have to accept it and live with the limitations that it imposes on me? And then you start to wonder if it's something so obvious that everyone immediately notices it about you, but they're just too polite to say? And then finally you realize you don't really give a crap.

I know so many hard-working single guys who either bust their asses trying to provide for their kids or fight for every minute they get to spend with them because their exes are so vengeful that they put the kids right in the middle of conflict. And then I meet these women who stand by these jerks who beat the crap out of them or spend half their time in jail so that they have to go out asking strangers for food....and THEN they complain that there's no good guys out there. People are so messed up. I hate people.

If you ever have to get a psychological evaluation for any reason whatsoever, a good thing to do is, whatever question they ask you, just stare at them and don't say anything. And if they hand you a thing to fill out, just stare at it for 30 seconds and then say I'm done! I win!

Like any kids, my boys idealized me for a long time and thought I was Superman or something. It was a long time before they realized that I'm just like any other guy running around in tights and a cape.

The reason I don't RSVP when people send me invitations is because it stands for répondez s'il vous plaît and I don't speak French.

My dumb friend Dan met a woman and said they shared such a deep spiritual connection that it transcended words. I asked him did she feel the same way? He said he didn't know but next time he saw her he planned on actually talking to her.

I went to Radio Shack to buy a phone and when they were checking me out they asked for my phone number and I was like, why do you need my phone number when clearly I don't have a phone?

They say you meet someone when you're not looking for it, and I can say for sure that's what happened. I met my girlfriend when she broke into my house at night.

My kids are like lawyers. They're always looking for loopholes to get them out of trouble that they might possibly get into in the future. I just asked Indy if he did all the towels like I told him to yesterday. He says Yes, I definitely totally did all the towels. I said where are they. He said on the chair in the laundry basket. I said so all the towels are cleaned and dried and ready to be folded, every towel in the house? He says yes, absolutely. And then as he's walking away he says All the towels I could find, anyway.

I like foods that are crunchy because it's like they got a little fight left in them. Foods that are mushy, it feels like they've given up too easily. When I bite down and feel that crunch, I feel like I'm having to work for it as little.

A bad song to play at a funeral would be Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

Life has no intrinsic value and has only whatever arbitrary meanings we assign it. Love is a societal construct whose only requirement is that two people share the same fatal delusion of permanence. And no one cares anyway.

If Peter Parker goes out drinking, would his Spider-Sense warn him where all the DUI checkpoints were on the way home?

Experts are saying now that by the year 2022, the average teenager of today will be in his mid-twenties.

The thing about Two & A Half Men now is that Walden and Alan don't even seem like friends, and no one even likes Alan,

Sever factors are converging to make me think it's time for a major life decision.

It seems like the only people with the intelligence, boldness and initiative to take on our nation's growing social unrest, navigate this financial quagmire, confront political unrest abroad, and come up with real, workable solutions, are the idiots who wind up sitting next to me on the train every morning. Seriously annoying.

It's kind of awkward when someone offers some insight into your psychological state and why you are the way you are, and suddenly you realize that they've been thinking about it a LOT.

When I was in kindergarten, my teacher seemed to know whenever something significant happened at home, and she always said with a smile, A little birdy told me. That's about the time I started killing birds, because I knew those little bastards were going around talking about me.

Don't be alarmed by that warm squishy feeling inside, you're just falling in love with me. It happens to everyone.

My biggest fear about riding the train is a drunk guy vomiting on me

Dear Facebook Friends, if someone hacks my account and starts posting on people's walls what I really think of them, it wasn't me.

I hate feeling left out especially by people who I suspect do it on purpose

If Indiana Jones started selling ancient artifacts, he would be an Adventure Capitalist

A good superhero would be a guy who metes out his own brand of street justice by acting as judge, jury and executioner. And he could have a sidekick who acted as bailiff, clerk and court stenographer.

I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet, and stole his shoes

I don't care what anyone thinks of me. Or, no, wait, yes I do. Please like me.

Sometimes things keep happening that keep discouraging me and then some little things reminds why I keep doing what I do.

This morning I awoke to the sweet song of a tiny bird at my window, and I bowed my head in a silent prayer of thanks for quiet beauty and grace. And then I shot it.

I gave up my seat so that an elderly couple could sit together on the train, and a really hot Asian chick told me I was awesome. Thank you, hot Asian chick. I will take that compliment from you.

In case I haven't said it lately, I really do love my girlfriend, because I really do have a girlfriend, and the girlfriend who I love is my girlfriend. Girlfriend.

I wish I was Klingon

Someone really did hack my account and change my settings, no kidding.

Just because I laugh at you doesn't mean you're funny

There should be a reality show where people sing and make cupcakes at the same time

You may think I'm just some clown here to amuse you, but I have many layers, like an onion, the more you peel, the harder you cry.

In high school they teach you to take care of babies by having you carry around with you everywhere a fragile egg to care for. But they should have more advanced classes where they teach you to take care of teenagers by carrying around everywhere an angry, feral, rabid animal that eats everything in sight and then attacks you.

Just passed a group of middle-schoolers walking single-file behind their teacher through Peachtree Center. Walking in line like that is a skill set you don't get to use much as an adult. I kind of miss it. I never know where I'm going.

I got a call from someone who said she was an old friend from high school. And all I could think was You're still in high school? I try not to judge, but just the same I don't think I would have opened with that.

Whenever I have to go to a funeral, it's hard for me to get moving. I don't know why, I guess I'm just not a mourning person.

A good name for a sci-fi courtroom drama would be Alienable Rights

Just helped a homeless woman with three kids get a place to stay for a week. So much need I wish I could do more. Starting to feel a little burned out though and guilty on top of that.

Indy just came into the living room holding a towel and says Is this towel clean? and then he smells it and says It smells ok to me and then walks away. I'm raising him right.

Zoooy Mama!

‎With self-compassion, you value yourself not because you’ve judged yourself positively and others negatively but because you’re intrinsically deserving of care and concern like everyone else. Where self-esteem leaves us powerless and distraught, self-compassion is at the heart of empowerment, learning, and inner strength.

So many wonderful memories are made up of all the wonderful things we remember

The only thing more beautiful than holding a newborn baby in your arms is having that baby's mother come take him

A guy tells his neighbor about a new hearing aid he got, and says it's the greatest hearing aid ever, it cost $7000 but worth every penny. The neighbor says That's great, what kind is it? The guy checks his watch and a says It's about three thirty.

‎Even the best fall down sometimes, even the wrong words seem to rhyme, but out of the doubt that fills my mind, I somehow find you and I collide.

The movie Battleship would be more realistic if giant plastic pegs dropped from the sky

Every time I hear the song Your Body Is A Wonderland I always imagine a woman with a measuring stick by her bed that says You must be at least this tall to ride this ride

Talking to a bunch of twenty-somethings makes me realize two things: One, my life is totally boring, and two, doing incredibly stupid things in your 20's seems to be universal. Seriously there must be cave drawings of 20 year olds vomiting in bushes and tipping dinosaurs.

Had to sum up my life in five sentences and, reading back over it, realized how depressing my life is.

In Barrow County if you see someone out with a 12 pack and a chainsaw, by law, you have to record them on your phone

You know that guy who sings that old song called I'm Mr. Lonely? I wonder if his last name really was Lonely. It would suck if everywhere he went people were all like Hey, Mr. Lonely, how ya doin'?

Why do I have to cover my mouth when I yawn but not when I talk?

Bad news. I only have 56 years to live.

I am awesome, thank you for noticing

I'm against people being against things

A fraternity for fat people could be called Pi Pi Pi

I always worry when people who I'm friends with separately get to be friends with each other, because even though they're friends, I feel like they'll eventually team up against me. Like how Batman must feel when the Joker and the Penguin get together.

If my son Indiana grows up to be President, instead of Hail To The Chief, they can play the Indiana Jones Theme

You may say to yourself This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife. And you may ask yourself Well....How did I get here?

She told me her problem was, she only wanted guys who didn't want her. On the bright side, that left her with a lot of options.

Sometimes the thing you want most in the world is right there in front of you and you don't even realize it. Usually not, though.

If you're sad all the time, you're probably depressed. If you're happy all the time, you're probably insane.

A good name for a Mexican Restaurant would be Buenos Nachos

I bought a cup of coffee for a homeless guy and the security guard in the mall told me I shouldn't encourage those people. I just said We're all people, man. I think adding the man at the end of that sentence really drove my point home.

Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she doesn't have a lot to say, Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl but she changes from day to day

When a horse breaks its leg, they shoot it. I don't think it helps, though. I think the horse usuallly dies.

A good TV show would be about a world where no one juggles because juggling was never invented, and one day a stranger / alien / unfrozen caveman comes to town who juggles, and he has to go on the run to prevent the government from weaponizing his juggling skills, and everywhere he goes he spreads joy by taking odd jobs juggling. I call it The Juggler. And at the end of every episode a Federal agent shakes his fist and screams Damn you, Juggler! How about it, Hollywood?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Dog the Bounty Hunter has been cancelled after 8 years. That's 56 in Bounty Hunter years.

A therapist I know has offered to start seeing me every other week at no charge....I don't know how to take that....

To all the women who seem to want me to participate in all their crazy-ass drama, please do me the courtesy of having a script delivered beforehand so I know my lines? Thanks.

I'm sending secret messages to your brain

A woman I never met before was telling me all about how Gwinnett County stole her baby and she couldn't find a job. A really pretty Mexican girl who I'd talked to before walked past and smiled and touched my arm as she passed, and the other woman started SCREAMING at her!!!! HA HA I need to make some changes I think

If I ever win a million dollars I'm getting a helper monkey. If I win ten million I'm getting a helper gorilla.

When life gives you lemons, hey, free lemons

Every year I make a special trip to thank the vets for all of the freedoms that we as a nation enjoy. And every year they escort me out of the animal hospital for harassing them.

If there was a Star Trek show where the captain and crew were outlaws, then they would fly around the galaxy in a Criminal Enterprise

I hate it when a musician at a live show has the audience sing the lyrics for him. No one else does that. You don't go in for surgery and have the doctor go You know this one, make an incision right up the abdomen for me! Come on! Everybody!

Some of the warning labels you see are worthless, because if people are dumb enough to need them then they're too stupid to pay any attention

If there were awards for groundskeepers, the top award would be Best In Mow

"‎Robin Stewart: How can you tell when turkey bacon is done?
Me: I can always tell because it's in the trash can"

If Obi Wan was a dentist then he would tell Luke Skywalker, Use the floss, Luke. Trust your fillings.

If a lawyer has a legal secretary, does a mobster have an illegal secretary?

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and you'll wonder who is this dumbass who doesn't know how to fish?

Never get involved in a land war in Asia. Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

I want to get a fish tank that has one of those filter things that causes a strong current to run through the tank, so that way when a fish dies it keeps moving. That way, if I can't get to it right away, no one will notice.

I like to carry around a tape recorder and comment on things that happen to me, because it's like sending messages to my future self. And every so often, I just go Note to future self: Hi there, how are you doing? Because it's nice to know that someone cares, even if it's just a previous version of myself, ten minutes in the past.

I've never had a birthday party. I used to buy my own birthday presents and give them to people to give to me, only they would usually keep them. So I started buying them for myself and just telling everyone who they were from, but that didn't work either because everyone knew I wasn't friends with Cheryl Ladd or Brooke Shields.

I saw an old man at the Waffle House and he was complaining that he used to be able to get a hamburger for a nickel. So I took out a nickel and I stuck it in my own hamburger and I said Waitress, why is there a nickel in my hamburger? So she brought me a new one. And the old man wept for joy. Just my little way of bringing joy into the world.

Insurance sure has changed over the years. It used to be you just gave your card to the doctor's office and they submitted the claim for you, no problems. Now you have to call the insurance company yourself and all they want to do is argue, and they just keep saying Stop calling us, you don't have insurance with us anymore

If we ever get in a war with China, I say we let General Tsao and Colonel Sanders each take a chicken and have them settle it once and for all in a cooking show

When I was a kid I wasn't afraid that monsters would come looking for me, but I was afraid that they would come looking for some other kid and find me instead. For some reason, that seemed worse.

I don't like it when people talk about the Human Race because that makes it sound like someone's going to eventually win

Vacations are tricky things. When I was married, I always wanted to go to the beach, but my wife always wanted to go to the mountains. So we compromised, and got divorced.

A good TV show would be called Baby Precinct. It could be about babies investigating crimes against babies, like Who Stole My Nose and Monsters In The Closet. And then there could be a spin-off called Baby Precinct: Missing Persons, where they investigate cases of Peek-A-Boo. Hello, Police? My dad is missing! He was here a second ago and now he's....Oh, wait, there he is! It's ok, I was...Wait, he's gone again! Send someone over, hurry up!!

I don't know who Demi Lovato is, but every time I hear her name I think Domo Arigato, Demi Lovato!

I'm off to bed. Facebook is no longer amusing me.

A good Die Hard movie would be evil nuns trying to take over the Vatican, and John McClane's big line could be Yippee Ky Ay, Mother Superior!

If anyone ever criticizes anything I do, I just say Hey, I never said I was perfect.

I would throw myself a birthday party but it'll be demoralizing when no one shows up

Remember when we used to give a crap?

I know you are but what am I?

He came from somewhere back in her long ago, the sentimental fool don't see, trying hard to recreate what had yet to be created. Once in her life she musters a smile for his nostalgic tale, never coming near what he wanted to say, only to realize...it never really was. She had a place in his life. He never made her think twice. As he rises to her apology anybody else woulde surely know: He's watching her go.

Never get married, never have kids, never commit to anything, never care about anything. People are stupid, life sucks, and love is dead. Have a nice day.

Never say never, unless you're saying Never say never, because then you have to say never twice. So, unless you're saying Never say never, never say never.

One kid threw away about $50 worth of steak and now the other wants me to drive him to Barrow County. I don't want to be the parent anymore.

There are things I honestly miss about living in Barrow County. The driive up there and back is not one of them.

Worked out like a mofo this morning. Feels good. Next stop: Awesometown!

I feel pretty

Someone asked me what was I most passionate about and I didn't know what to say because I don't think I'm very passionate

I think I am most passionate about mocking people who are passionate about things I don't give a crap about

I don't have a lot of free time, most of my day is taken up just being awesome

Whenever I did something wrong I had to go to my room and think about what I'd done. Most of the time I thought Man, that was AWESOME!!!

I've decided to be positive and happy all the time from now on.

The more you feel the need to be right about something, the more people are going to want you to be wrong. The more serious you are about something, the more people are going to make fun of you (and the funnier it'll be).

Romeo and Juliet were codependent and dysfunctional and probably OCD

And I said what about Weekend At Bernies? She said I think I remember the film, and as I recall I think we both kind of liked it. And I said well that's the one thing we got.

What if Die Hard was a lavish Broadway musical?

If I wrote a self-help book I would call it Work Out Like A Mo-Fo

Has anyone noticed how happy and positive and cheerful I am now?

Since using cartoons and clowns to sell junk food is out of fashion and McDonald's isn't using Ronald anymore, I think they should use Michael McDonald as a spokesman. What would those commercials look like? What kind of McDonaldland would Michael McDonald live in? Discuss.

Saying Cheer Up to someone who is clinically depressed, is like talking really loud to a deaf person

I'm optimistic and cheerful and happy and I'm sure that everything is going to work out for the best.

Good morning everyone!!! It's a beautiful day! Can you feel the magic in the air? I'm ready for whatever miracles that today will bring!

It would be hard to expose corruption in a whistle factory, because everyone is a whistle blower

Took the anxiety test on psychologytoday.com

A bunch of noobs at the Co Op this morning. It's awesome but they always assume we're more organized than we are.

I have this strange feeling that somewhere out there there's someone who isn't thinking about how AWESOME!! I am

Watching cop shows this weekend while I work at home. Here's a thought, TV show people: If a bullet coming out of a gun has enough force to blast the person being shot across the room, then the recoil from the gun has to have enough to blast the person shooting the gun across the other side of the room. Maybe there should be a cop show called Newton's Law where all the basic laws of physics apply.

A guy was arrested for stealing three six packs of beer, but the Prosecutor looked at the evidence and said I can't make a case out of this...

The term Quisling was coined by the British newspaper The Times in an editorial published on 19 April 1940 in reference to the Norwegian Vidkun Quisling, who assisted Nazi Germany as it conquered his own country so that he could rule the collaborationist Norwegian government himself.

You know what I just thought? Whoever names hurricanes should give them names like Hulk and Schwarzenegger and Van Damme, not Clara and Joseph, amirite?

You can add teenagers to the list of things I don't understand, along with women, cell phones, the politics and the last episode of The Sopranos

Good. Morningg everyone!!! What a wonderful day to be alive!! Are you ready for all the magical miracles that today will bring? I know I am!!!

Sometimes I feel guilty for using up all the awesome, when so many people don't have any at all.

If there are unions for people who work in bowling alleys, I bet it confuses people when they strike

A good theme song for Weight Watchers would be Carry That Weight if you're a guy, or More Than A Woman if you're a girl

What a wonderful, amazing day it is to be alive!!! Life is the greatest miracle of all, although true friendship and love are coming up close behind!!

It takes a big man to admit he's wrong. It takes a bigger man to make fun of that man.

Probably the reason you always hear about feral kids being raised by wolves but you never hear about feral kids raised by sheep is because the wolf-raised kids are always eating the sheep-raised kids.

I like movies with the classic Fish Out Of Water premise, where someone with a unique personality is put in an unfamiliar setting, and they can't breathe and flop around on the ground gasping for air

To me, church is like medical school. You go to medical school to learn about medicine and diagnosis and how to make people better. Going out into the world and volunteering, teaching, doing things with your life to improve the lives of others, that's like practicing medicine. I always have tried to impress this on my kids, even though they don't really get involved at church and I don't drag them with me (maybe I should, but I don't). But I am very happy to see them making it a priority to volunteer and give of themselves to help others. To me, that's more important than knowing they can recite Bible verses.

God doesn't look like anything you've seen, nor sound like anything you've known, and yet encounters with God are always accompanied by a feeling of recognition, a dawning realization of So it's been You all along... At once unknowable and utterly familiar, His only requirement is that we desire Him, and seek Him in our hearts. All we need is to ask.

Good morning everyone!! What a fantastic day!! If there has ever been a better day in history, I sure don't know what it is!! So let's all get out there and live lives of joy and happiness and sunshine!!

I think one of the reasons people may seem to have forgotten how to have fun is because, as a society, we've forgotten how to Wang Chung

In a meeting this morning my boss was offended when I compared our current project to the Kobiyashi Maru, until I explained that that made him Captain Kirk. It's nice working with nerds.

The best part about dating a blind chick would be that she would never tell you she wants to see other people

I've reached the age where I've stopped trying to impress women and now I just hope I'm not freaking them out.

What would you do and how would you act and what would you say to people if you were 100% certain that God was alive and that He had a purpose and a plan for your life and that you were exactly at the place and time where He needed you to be? Think about it, and then do those things and act that way, no matter how you feel about it. Then things will start to get better.

Sitting in a meeting with a guy eating fruit salad who sounds like Jabba the Hut eating those squishy alien things.

My boss asked me about the schedule for Redundancy Tests. I said don't you have keep scheduling them over and over?

Part of being awesome is taking time to help those less awesome than you

All I've ever wanted was to love and be loved in return. By a supermodel. And a million dollars, and absolute power over every living being in the entire universe.

People are kind of like cookies. Except they're not actually cookies so don't eat their faces.

Stuck @ Doraville Marta station w a dead battery. I must have bad karma because no one is helping and in fact being jerky about my even asking. Can't get anyone on the phone either, and AAA won't be here til 6pm. Trying to stay positive.

Is there such a thing as a reverse psychologist? And if so, do they make people more depressed?

It's amazing how some people make everything about themselves, but it's more amazing how everyonne else let's them get away with it

I'm just an ordinary, average guy

There should be a game show where you have to do everyday things when you're drunk. Not drive, because you know that would be offensive, but read Shakespeare or juggle or toss pizza crusts. Kind of like whatDaniel Summers did all through his 20's, but with prizes.

Ask me anythinng

I thought he looked like a Carlos too, man.

Love is life's sweetest reward. Let it float, it floats back to you.

I worked a total of 12 hours today

The hot girl at Caribou Coffee told me that a lot of older guys who she waits on everyday act like she's their girlfriend. I said so many people are so desperately lonely that they place greater emphasis than they should on the few emotional attachments they're able to form. She said that was probably true. I know she wants me. It was in the way she ignored me after I paid for my coffee.

What a fantastic day to be alive!!!

How come you can take creative writing but not creative math?

I'm listening to a Pandora station called Girlpunk, playing the Donnas and the Runaways and the Dollyrots and the Bangs. Awesome.

My whole life philosophy can be summed up in these two things: One, that all people are equal no matter what their gender, education, or social status, and Two, that I am just inherently better than everyone else on Earth.

Excellent excellent day. Got to leave work early and had supper with a pretty lady. Tomorrow we're all going to Stone Mountain.

If I win the lottery I am going to have someone make me a life-size gummy polar bear

Please, for the love of God, don't be stupid

How could you be happy and not know it? Isn't that the definition of not being happy?

What good is cake if you can't eat it?

Why do people say You've made your bed, now you have to lie in it? You only make your bed when you're not going to lie in it.

That awkward moment when you call the guy in front of you at the red light a douchebag and then realize both your windows are down. That awkwarder mmoment when you both stop for gas at the same QT.

If there was a cover band that only did songs by The Fray, they could call themselves Frayed Not

I got up and worked from 6:30am to noon and the boys are not up yet and I guess now I'll just do some laundry.

Sometimes one good day is just one good day, and just because it doesn't lead to 1000 more doesn't take away from how good it was. I think it's best to accept thing for what they are and not place too much importance on what they mean.

The problem with building Lego models with teenagers is that they act like Legos are just toys and not precision scale models of important historical figures.

I believe in a brighter tomorrow. That's why I wear sunglasses.

Here's a tip: The term My fellow co-workers is not redundant, it's inaccurate. You are not your own co-worker.

Good morning everyone!! What an incredible day! I have a feeling that today is the day miracles start to happen, and if there's a wish or a dream you've been having, today is the day to reach up, take it down, put it in your pocket! Take the world by the tail and anything can happen!

Bought a season pass to Stone Mountain and I think I'm going to try to go up the mountain at least twice a month from now on

How do I know this isn't all just some wonderful dream?

I'd like to see a movie about the brave firefighters in the 1970's who sacrificed their lives fighting the Disco Inferno

No one else can decide for you how awesome you are. Each of us is responsible for our own awesome.

Here's a geek joke: Why does Bruce Wayne compile his command script in executable files for the Windows 9X family of operating systems?

The best advice I ever gave was to my friend Dwayne, who was going through a divorce, when I told him to just let go. Coincidentally, this was also the worst advice I ever gave to my other friend Dwayne, a trapeze artist.

Better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Better to curse the darkness than burn your house down.

What an incredible day today has been! If I was keeping track of all the miracles in my life, then I would have to count today as number ninety leven gajillion and twelve!! I hope everyone's lives are full of light and love and miracles!

Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association as characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriately seductive behavior, usually beginning in early adulthood. These individuals are lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. HPD is most commonly found in the United States and affects four times as many women as men. It has a prevalence of 2–3% in the general population, and 10–15% in inpatient and outpatient mental health institutions.

Rizzolli and Isles is just like Bones except it's two chicks

There should be a self-help book about avoiding destructive behavior called Don't Do That Anymore

I spent the last two days in brutal self-examination and I realized that I'm 46 and haven't accomplished any of my life goals. So I've decided to not have any more goals. Problem solved.

Good morning everyone!!! Today is the most beautiful and special day in the history so don't waste it feeling sad or bad or mad, instead be glad!

I am a beautiful man

If there was a movie about a chef from the future who came back in time to prevent some big disaster, it could be called Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Time Travel

I believe in putting others ahead of me. Especially when there's gunplay.

If I was a superhero the only superpower i'd want would be the love for all of mankind in my heart, or x-ray vision.

Good morning, great big wonderful world!!!! What an amazingly unbelievable day it is!! I'm ready for whatever adventures the universe brings my way today! How about you?!?!

Chicks dig me, and I dig chicks, and chicks dig being dug by me and I dig them digging me.

Ok so I am going to have a couple days off the first week of July - who wants to make plans??

Sometimes known as Nature's Con Man, the lizard has been known to solicit money from turtles by claiming to be homeless.

I live on the edge and make my own rules. I eat danger for breakfast and action is like the little marshmallows floating in my cereal. Don't try to stop me or I'll take you down with me.

Good morning everyone!!! What a spectacular day it is and how fantastic is this wondrous miracle we call life!!! Find a reason to embrace your joy this morning and pass it along to the next person you see!!!

Hell is having everythiing you want and still not being satisfied

The boss asked me if I thought he was arrogant. I said I wouldn't say arrogant....

Overheard a guy on the train saying to a woman I would tell you if I was lying.....and all I could think was You're doing it wrong.

Some people are what you'd call book smart and others are more street smart although most are technically not smart

I think God invented weather so that boring people would have something to talk about

I posted my morning positve affirmation today and no one clicked like. So it's true then, if you stay positive, eventually people will stop noticing.

Please take a moment at the end of the day and reflect on all the ways I'm better than you are

I went into Wal Mart and the cashier was like Would you care to make a donation to the Blah Blah Foundation to help prevent Blah Blah Blah? and then every time someone said yes, she rang a cowbell. So when I got up there she asked me and I was like, I'll give you a dollar, and I'll make it two dollars if you promise not to ring that freaking bell.

Had a conversation with an olld dude on the train. He was very talkative. He was on his way to the airport after visiting his great GREAT granchildren in Atlanta. 90 yrs old traveling alone. I salute you, old dude.

Sometimes it would be nice to have someone to talk to

You know I love a woman who will offer to murder a complete stranger for me

Goood morning everyone!!! What a fanntastic incredible day it is!!! It definitely feels like something mind-blowing and life-altering is happening today!! Hold on and keep your hands and feet inside at all times!!!!

A woman from Afghanistan and her three children come in to the Co-Op and they are such a blessing, I always make the little girls giggle. Makes me wish I had girls of my own.

My friends all said they wanted to watch the US Open but I didn't know it had closed

Despite the fact that I wound up working 9 hours today and my kid argued with me about everything I wanted him to do, I got some random and spontaneous words of kindness and encouragement from some unexpected sources, and had a good Father's Day dinner with our second family the Fernandez's

Fantastic morning, great workout, hot coffee, ready to start the day!!

I'm not one of those people who needs to go around talking about how awesome I am all the time. I think sometimes it's important to give others the chance to talk about how awesome I am.

Once I was at a wild bird show and the lady brought out an owl that had come to the shelter when it was hit by a truck and they nursed it back to health. She kept talking about how well owls can see, they can turn their eyes 360 degrees, they can see in the ultraviolet range, they can see up to a mile away. And then when it came time for questions I said How come it can't see a truck coming right at it? HA HA suck it, nature!!

The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. The next worse are the ones we tell the police.

She told me it just wasn't fair that I never relly seemed to listen to her. I said when are we going to the fair? I want funnel cakes.

I'm MAD AS HELL AND I'm NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! HA HA just kidding I don't give a crap.

Although there's usually enough of me to go around, please try not to love me too much

Today's philosophical question of the day: How do we truly know that woodchucks can't already chuck wood, and they choose not to?

What a great great day!!! What a fantastic opportunity we're given to celebrate this miracle known as life!!! Good morning world!!!!

If the movie Cars was rated NC-17, expressions like Ten-Car Pile-Up would take on a whole new meaning

I know who my real friends are. They're the ones that other people can see and hear.

If someone gave me a choice between getting a billion dollars, tax-free, or contracting Mad Cow Disease, the first thing I would do is take the money, because that would be like the easiest choice ever.

‎We hardly recognize the miraculous in the mundane nor the majesty of the ordinary, for if we did we could hardly go through life without being constantly amazed at the wonder that is creation. Believe in miracles simply because you are a miracle.

I pray for two things every morning: One, for a grateful heart, and two, for the opportunity to serve or help someone else. One of those things is way easier than the other.

You know those guys who knock on people's doors to tell them that the only way to Heaven is believing in their one true religion? I wonder what those guys are going to do in Heaven when there's no more doors to knock on? They'll be like One true way to Heaven, yo and the other dude will be all, Yeah, I know, dude, already here.

A fun game for Doctors I bet is trying to go through a day without using any medical terminology, just describing things.

Whenever I hear a song about memories, I always imagine that they're saying mammaries and I laugh because that's just part of the amusement park that is my mind

In the daytime, downtown, there are two kinds of homeless people and you can tell which they are by asking how did they get to be homeless. One will tell you everything that's happened to them since they were 12 years old, and the other one will just grunt and say Drugs.

‎80% of a politician's job is to get people outraged at the opposing party

What a great day to be alive!!!! Of all the times and places in all of human history, God chose me to be alive in this life, in this time and in this little corner of the world, what a miracle it is!!! Choose happiness and be AWESOME!!!!

So the other day I sat on the train and talked to a 90-year old guy who was going to fly back to Ohio. Last night one of the guys in my meeting at church was talking about his great grandfather coming to visit last week THAT WAS HIM! How random and odd was that?

What made me ever think I could raise teenagers???

How about a nice warm mug of SHUT THE HELL UP?

Could MacGuyver make a trap so awesome that even he couldn't get out of it?

I'm about to go to bed after another amazingly wonderful day full of love and light, the miracle of friendship and the power of love and special family things! God bless everyone! I love everyone!

Thanks for the friend request Jon Press!!! You just bought a one-way ticket to Awesometown, population: Mark!!!

It's a well-known fact that 1% of the population uses up 99% of the AWESOME!! I am the 1%

If there was a Christmas-themed horror movie it could be called One Horse Open SLAY!!!!!

What a great day!! If all the days in history were lined up like people, then today June 22, 2012 would be absolute ruler of all that he surveys, and the rest would shuffle past with hollow eyes like Russians in a bread line!!! Today is perfect and wonderful and all the other days can suck it!!! Good morning everyone!!! Now let's get out there and LIVE, dammit!!!!

My boss worked from home yesterday and this morning says to me Did you enjoy your break from me yesterday? And I said I sure did, you can see how much more work I got done.

The universe is conspiring to bring me down today

I used to think she was bipolar but then I remembered bipolars are supposed to have good days sometimes

Everything in my life is incredibly, awesomely amazingly perfect and there is absolutely no way that it could ever be improved upon even if I had a billion magical wishes

I just hung up hippy beads in my living room and now I'm a hippy

Have you ever had a friend that you cared about so much that when they were hurting, you actually hurt for them? I did once. It was unsettling, and I didn't know what was happening.

If there's anyone on earth who hates their toenails as much as I hate mine, I would like to meet that person and shake their hand.

Britta:Annie::Ginger:Mary Anne

You are so on that things have become very much like Donkey Kong!

What would Paul McCartney be if he got hit by a bus? Beatle Juice

If there were vampire cows we could keep eating them forever and they would never die, but I don't know if that would make us all vampires or not.

Today is my grandmother's 99th birthday. She was born before World War I even started. She has 15 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren (I think) and two great-great grandchildren. She ran a decathalon last year. Just kidding about that last one. Happy birthday, Agnes Cullen.

I made black bean turkey chili, and usually have a hard time knowing how much water to cook it with, so this time I am not using water. I'm using V-8. I'll let you know how it turns out.

There's a Batman, Robin, Batgirl, there's Superman, Superboy, Supergirl, and then there's Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl. So why is there no Wonder Boy?

If someone had amnesia, a good way to cure them would be to tell them that they're going to die. And then when their life passes in front of their eyes, say All that stuff happened to you.

Good morning everyone!!! What an amazingly perfect day today is, and guess what?? It gets better!!! So let's all take a moment and silently agree that we'll make today June 25, 2012 the most awesome day in the history of EVER!! We can do it with the magic power of frienship!!

Is it weird that you can look up the Secret Service in the phone book?

Either stop living in the past or start using your time-traveling superpowers to take over the world

If I've learned anything over the years, it's that you can't sum up a lifetime of accumulated knowledge in just one sentence.

I just finished watching the Dateline NBC chronicling the stories of the unemployed, and it seems to me that at least half of those people's problems were that they were all I never thought this would happen to me, I understand that it's difficult but geez, swallow your pride and do what you have to do.

Just so that you guys know, there is an AWESOME Kroger brand salsa verde, I am putting it on everything these days.

For many years, it seemed as if every time I read James Joyce's Ulysses, it was a different book entirely, and I had to ask myself, was the book itself changing, or was my perspective evolving? And then I found out that my kids, as a joke, were changing the dust covers on all my books.

If you cut a vampire in half, I know he wouldn't die, but would he just go on living as two halves, or would he grow back together? If not, could you get the two halves to fight each other?

What if you could go back in time and make George W. Bush and the Bush's baked beans guy with the talking dog switch places? America would probably be at war with Heinz or some other company that makes baked beans.

My dumb friend Dan wanted to visit the Phillipines but I told him he'd have to learn to speak Tagalog. He said Couldn't I learn one of the other Girl Scout cookie languages?

Duck duck duck duck duck duck.....

Good morning everyone!!!!! I hope that each and every one of you is having the most perfect day ever just like I am!!!!

Love is a many splintered thing

Please disregard everything I've ever said

My kid thought there was an Indian chief called Crazy Whores.

I'm sorry I never called you back, I was too busy BEING AWESOME!!!!

In Heaven, Jesus goes door to door and says I'd like to talk to you about me. And it's awkward if you're busy doing something else.

Family is not always about blood. But carry a first aid kit just in case.

What would you do without me?

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Or go to the bathroom.

I like it when people correct my statements about things that are subjective just so they can feel intellectually superior, or pretend to listen when really they're thinking of what they're going to say next, because people like that claim to value open-mindedness but really think they know everything already, and they amuse me.

The show Touch is really good, it's kind of like Early Edition or Touched By An Angel, except instead of newspapers or God, it has math

If those we don't like aren't afforded Freedom of Expression then there is no freedom. I am free to listen or not, to accept, to believe, or not, but when we silence people we don't like, we are no longer free to choose.

I appreciate the effort you took to organize and present your argument, however, I believe there is a flaw in your logic, for the reasons enumerated below:

‎That protest sign you're holding up has really turned me around on that issue you're protesting about, said no one ever.

I am a beautiful, beautiful man

The show Touch doesn't make me cry but it does make me feel stuff like deep down inside where I'm soft, like a woman

It's pretty amazing when things happen that you know are God's doing, and one-two-three all the obstacles fall down like dominos

See no evil, hear no evil, eat no evil

I got two hugs at church tonight and one little girl stuck her tongue out at me from across the hall when they were praying. Usually when I go to church, none of those things happen

I deserve my share of happiness. I am strong. I have value. Etc., etc.

Atlanta: The City That Oversleeps

I worry for my children, but not my children's children, because I don't believe that children should be having children

I had no idea that so many of my friends were Constitutional scholars.

Everyone pray for me I may have a line on a GREAT job that'll be permanent with beefits and vacation and everything.

In Bible times, when Jesus told a joke, I bet the Apostles laughed whether they thought it was funny or not. And I bet Judas laughed the loudest, and was all Jesus, you're so funny! You're worth all the silver in the Temple! HA HA! and all the others were like, Come on, man...

A good candy for Catholics to have at Easter, instead of Chocolate bunnies or marshmallow Peeps, would be Carmelite nuns

Brunch is like breakfast for functional alcoholics

When America becomes a police state at least we'll all have those awesome flashing blue lights on our cars

Good morning everyone! What a fantastic day! Let's all get out there live, dammit!!

OMG I got pulled over by DeKalb PD on my way to work, the guy was pissed at me for driving too fast. I didn't even have my license on me, I thought I was going to jail. He said Why were you driving so fast? And I said I'm just trying to make the train, there wasn't a lot of traffic and I just wasn't watching my speed. So he said Ok just slow it down, everyone's trying to get to work. And I said thank you and he said You said the magic word, just don't drive like an a-hole And all I could think was Wait, there's a MAGIC WORD? What did I say?

I was watching a documentary about the life of the Buddha and it described his experiences immediately after having achieved enlightenment, going into the world and being treated exactly the same. Wisdom, inner peace, spirituality and enlightenment are not immediately apparent to those who don't themselves seek these things.

No, you are. No, you are. No, you are.

The drama continues to play out. The search goes on. No word yet on a position but now there are two big cheeses on my side.....

I can't wait to get out of work today!!!

When someone gets mad and says You are persona non grata, from now on! A funny thing to say would be YOU'RE potatoes au gratin!!!!

Mark out.

I've gotten pretty good at completely cutting people out of my life, which is something I never used to do. Does that make me a bad person?

You know what people who are hardcore badass have to say about being hardcore badass? Nothing. Because that's part of being hardcore badass. And if you're not, and you talk about how you are, it makes you even less hardcore badass.

Underneath your gruff and unfeeling exterior lies a real heart of stone

She told me she thought the praying mantis had the right idea: The female tore off the male's head after mating, killing him instantly. I told her that was preferable to the human female, who stays married to her mate and killed him slowly over many years.

We took down the Christmas tree

I'm picking out a thermos for you

Be who you are, because that way you only need one driver's license

Netflix thinks I would enjoy watching Dawson's Creek. Oh, Netflix, I thought we were friends, but you really don't know me at all, do you?

Ran into my good buddy Kent Poteete at the Marta yesterday.

I've figured it out that either all women treat all guys like crap, I'm only attracted to women who treat guys like crap, or there's some quality I possess that makes women think it's cool to just treat me like crap.

Two truckloads of food from the boy scouts, waiting to unload while my friend Beth takes out the trash. Dude you guys can offer to help her.

Usually I pray for the people who come in here and sometimes they ask to pray for me, but today a three year old prayed for me

Well the day may have started off badly but at least my teenage kids are little rays of sunshine in my life and NOT screaming at me because the world isn't full of rainbows and unicorns like I apparently promised them it would be

Someone just physically SCREAMED at the lady working the desk here because there were no more free Bibles to give away. Are you there, Irony? It's me, Mark.

The guy on the street waving the TMobile sign is on meth

I love how some people take every conversation, comment or topic and always turn it around to make it about them. Did I say love? I meant they suck.

Brunch is supposed to be breakfast and lunch, but really it's just breakfast for people who want to get drunk before noon. It should be called Bralcohol.

I don't like the idea of socialized medicine because I believe that history demonstrates socialism doesn't work. I don't think it's the government's job to take care of people, and if a government is not corrupt then it is easily the most corruptible of entities. But I like it even less that the opposition party in America is not offering any viable alternatives, and I at least have to concede that the Left is doing something and trying to fix what's broken, even if I think they're taking us in the wrong direction.

They should make a prequel to Saw about a preschooler who traps other kids in a Chuck E. Cheese and plays mind games with them. It could be called See Saw.

Sign number 497 that parenting of your teenagers has gone awry somewhere:

Checking out in line at Wal Mart and the checkout dude has this huge stupid grin on his face and he says Hot enough for ya? like an idiot, so I just looked at the floor and I said Yeah, I'm kind of worried actually, they just took my mom to the hospital with heat stroke, so... and then he looked like he was about to cry and then I went Ah, I'm just screwing with you dude Good times, good times.

What's the number one reason people give for drinking too much?

It would be bad if a prank birthday candle factpry caught fire, because everytime the firefighters put it out it would just start right back up again

If you want to start your own business, here's an idea for you: You can drive around on the weekends in a truck with a big cage on the back, picking up drunks, and call your business Party Animal Control

My church McKendree UMC has devoted a lot of resources this summer to providing lunches to children in our community who get free meals at school during the year, but often go hungry during the summer months. I have especially loved seeing all the young people volunteering their own time (when they could be doing anything else) to make a difference. I love my church.

It's so hot today that when I walked outside this morning a bird fell down on the ground in front of me and it was already cooked

It's so hot today that the tire tracks on my street were not from driving fast but from my tires melting on the pavement

It's so hot that I went to a track and field event and everyone was walking

That awkward moment when someone says something and you think they're joking and even though you don't think it's particularly funny you kind of just play along with it, and then you realize they were serious and you look like an ass

The best thing you can say about being stupid is you have lots of company

Everyone's ignoring me today? Am I invisible? Can you guys read this? Hello?

I believe I kindness but above that I believe in honesty. It's not kind to pretend to have feelings that you don't have, or to agree to things just so people will like you, or to feign admiration for things that annoy you. I won't waste anymore of my life on people who don't value me; that doesn't mean I hate them, it just means that my time on Earth is finite and I choose how I'll spend it.

If you have a need and someone freely offers to help, but you say no because you won't accept charity, or you want to handle things on your own, or you don't want to be indebted to anyone, you're not being strong. You're being proud. You're not only refusing to allow a blessing into your own life, but you're refusing to allow one into theirs as well. Refusing help freely offered is the same as refusing God because you're not worthy: No one benefits from that. Giving is easy, but accepting takes courage and humility and strength of character.

If you want to be hardcore you got to live hardcore

A good reality show would follow around a different family every week showing how they fight about all the stupid answers they gave on Family Feud

It's nice when people spontaneously compliment other people without having to be prompted

Some really good advice is, Never bring a knife to a gunfight. Even better advice is, Don't even go to a gunfight.

Yesterday I was driving down the road and I saw a little girl in her front yard selling milkshakes, and all the boys in the neighborhood were there

Why do people act like it's a crime to reserve judgment, not form an opinion or draw conclusions? It's even worse to admit you don't know something. I think most of the time that's the more intelligent position to take.

You know what I was thinking today? Maybe it's not a coincidence that R&B singers are always singing about how much they like to DO IT and Country singers are always singing about how their women are cheating on them.

Why is it called Snow White and the Huntsman, and not Snow White and the Hunter? What's the difference?

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven

Ok I'm off to bed. While I'm asleep, please, I don't want any of my friends fighting over who loves me most.

Good morning everyone!!! Just a reminder, Thursday is Markday!!

We're all time travelers. We just all travel at the same speed, in the same directiion.

What are some of the easiest jobs to have? For me, it would be Head Barber at military academy, coach of a bowling team, or fashion designer for socks

What an amazingly incredible day today has turned out to be! So grateful for so many miracles that surround me everyday!

If you hate something, hit it with a shovel. If it comes back to you, run like hell.

I love my life, I love my job, I love my home, I love my car, I love my kids, I love my family, I love my friends, I love everything!!!!!

What's the difference between agreeing to disagree and just disagreeing?

A bad date is when she feels the need to call a friend and talk about how boring you are. A really bad date is when she does it while you're sitting right there still having dinner.

If I was a military barber, everytime I shaved some young dude's head, I would hold up a mirror and say How does that look? Short enough? And then I would laugh and laugh, because I have a feeling that would never stop being funny.

A young kid came home from Sunday school with a picture of a guy surrounded by big cats. His mom said Is that Daniel in the lion's den?

It's only because of Facebook I can wake up at 2am and spend two hours on the phone

Today I was thinking poor Opie doesn't have a mom or a dad now and then I was like, damn who was Opie's mom anyway? In a small town like Mayberry you'd think she'd have had family but Opie never had cousins. Maybe she was circus folk. What are your thoughts on this at 4:15am???

The cat might have her kittens in the oven but that don't make them biscuits

Single guys who are really bad spellers are always afraid of condiments

Is it just me or is all this talk about the Higgs Boson make you think that physicists have discovered a new kind of tuba?

When someone tells me that they don't care what people think about them, I always tell them that I think they really do care, so then if they argue with me, I say that they must care enough to want to win the argument, thereby proving my point. Bam!

Sometimes I like to sit alone with my thoughts and laugh

Did you know that the microwave can be weaponized? Just use it to heat my ex-wife's meatloaf.

Why is the lion called the king of the jungle when lions don't even live in the jungle?

Why do they say 2% non-fat milk? Shouldn't they say 98% non-fat milk?

Happy Markday everyone!!!

You know what I was just thinking? I was thinking it would suck to get stuck in an elevator with someone that you had nothing in common with, but it would especially bad if that person died. Talk about an awkward silence, am I right?

Don't tell someone to be cool unless you know their idea of cool isn't freaky and weird

Markday means different things to different people, and that's ok

Mommy's all right, Daddy's all right, they just seem a little weird

I like reading about science and finding out that they even have scientific laws for stupid people, like No two objects can occupy the same space at the same time. Anyone who's ever parked a car knows that. And then I think, maybe I'm just super-smart.

I went to a clown funeral,. So sad. They just kept puliing so many coffins out of that tiny hearse.

Since several things happened today that were incredibly crappy I'm going to declare that tomorrow is Markday as well. DO OVER!!

Ringling Brothers Circus reported yesterday that one of their single-engine two-man Cessna aircraft went down in the mountains last night. Five hundred and twenty clowns reported dead.

One of the hardest jobs in the circus is working in the clown delivery room because they always have so many babies at once

OK enough clown jokes

After a while it stops bothering you that people lie to you; it just bothers you that you trusted them in the first place.

If you're depressed, if you struggle with anxiety, if you're upset with someone and have a hard time dealing with it, can I suggest not giving a crap? It works wonders.

I hate being in a room full of people who are having the single most boring conversation ever in the history of language and they're all trying to one-up each other about their miles per gallon or sanding their deck. NO ONE CARES, BORING PEOPLE!!!!

This must be why I don't have any friends

It's so hot outside that only one person was protesting at the Planned Parenthood

People who look on the bright side all the time, eventually burn out their retinas and go blind

Well for a weekend that started out pretty crappy, the last couple days were kind of fun. We built a new Lego model and today had lunch with my favorite niece!

If an armed gunman was going to rob a Pentecostal church, at least everyone's hands would already be up in the air

Why doesn't Jesus order scrambled eggs? Because His yolks are always easy.

If I was a super-villain I would never join any kind of team up of other super-villains, because who would ever trust a super-villain?

They say the less tolerant you are of any particular character flaw, the more guilty you are of that same thing. For me, I can't stand it when people twist everything around to make it all about themselves, and so I try really hard not to be that way, and to really listen to what people are saying, though I am probably not always successful.

In April 92 I was night manager at the Omni Hotel in Richmond when riots broke out in LA. There was a woman who kept calling from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel to let her husband know she wasn't at home. He was out in the mall area chatting with the security guards, who all thought he looked familiar but didn't recognize him. So eventually a security guard brought him to the desk and I told him his wife was trying to reach him, but he kind of waved it off and stood there chatting to us for like 20 minutes. His name was Ernest Borgnine. He died today at 95. Helluva guy, and very entertaining.

What an incredible day to be alive!! How fantastic it is to be making a real and lasting difference in people's lives!!

A good joke to play on a firefighter for his birthday would be to send him out on a call to a building that every time he put it out it started right back up again

I wonder if Sleeping Beauty had a sister named Princess Apnea

If there was a drug you could take to cure apathy, the hard part would be motivating people to take it

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and the world laughs at you.

If your kid ever gets upset and says Everyone hates me, a good way to comfort them would be to say in a soothing but reassuring voice, Now now, that can't be true. Think of all the people who don't even know who you are.

Is it good luck to pick up a penny if you're the one who dropped it? If it is, I have an awesome idea to get all the luck I'll ever need

Life is the ultimate gift and you can't return it for store credit

I had a really really sad dream and in the dream, I was crying. But when I woke up, I was laughing. I wonder what that means?

People who have no love in their hearts for their fellow human beings should be rounded up and shot

If I was Alladin and I had three wishes but couldn't wish for more wishes, I would wish for a notepad where everything I wrote down in it came true. Bam.

Hello, Ace Hardware? Do you sell hammers? I need a hammer that can hammer in the morning AND hammer in the evening, while still being able to hammer all over this land.

If I ever decide to leave Facebook, don't worry, I promise I will do it in as dramatic a way as possible and announce it to everyone online so that you all have a chance to shower me with praise and beg me not to go

Most things I don't believe or disbelieve, I just consider possibilities.

I have blisters on my feet and they hurt and no one even cares

When he died, Dudley Moore's ashes were placed in a satellite in geosynchronous orbit 119000 miles above the east coast of North America, so now he'll always be caught between the moon and New York City

Now I have to go out to a meeting that I don't want to go to. Really alll I want to do is sleep for about a year.

If you win a fellowship and you hang out with other people who've won fellowships, would you call them your fellow fellows?

Hello, hi there, how are you? What's up? How's it going? Good morning, how you doing? Hola.

If Norman Schwarzkopf retired and took a job working the door at a Salt Lake City hotel, then he would be Stormin' Norman the Mormon Doorman

A little Latino girl who rides the train with me sometimes and works at the cafe in Peachtree Center walked in late with me this morning because the train broke down and we had to take the 6:20 instead of the 6:05. So I went into the Cafe and talked to her boss and explained what happened but I don't think the boss believed me and in fact I think it made things worse so now I feel bad.

The woman standing in line in front of me is a mean bitch who just yelled at me for sneezing. God if she was anorexic it'd be like I was married again.

The squeaky wheel gets replaced

Tell all your friends about me

Every time I see an ice cream truck I think it must be driven by a serial killer

The more entrenched we become in our own positions and the less willing we are to grow or change, the more passionately we'll argue that we're in the right.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....Hand me my calculator over there....

Thanks for accepting my friend request,Teressa Watts!!! Your forecast today calls for 100% chance of AWESOME!!!

So I ran into one of my buddies who used to sell me coffee in the morning, he used to be homeless and now is running a NFP that helps homeless/mentally ill people plug into resources, job placement, skill training and development. What an inspiration he is.

She's got Legos, she knows how to use them

I just got solicited by a daytime hooker on Peachtree Street. This entire planet is broken.

I fell asleep on the train and dreamed that I bought a wood carving of the guy who played Corporal Agarn on F-Troop

You hardly ever see someone with a neck tattoo who doesn't have a criminal record

I'm not afraid of bats or spiders but I hate roaches. I mean HATE THEM. So if I was a superhero I would be Roachman and criminals would fear me.

I had six little screws to put a clock back together and dropped one in the couch and when I reached in to get it I found a pretzel that dates back to the Mesozoic Era

A good name for a woman spy would be Amnesia Watkins

I've never seen a single episode of Dr. Who but I'm thinking Sam from Quantum Leap could kick his ass

Don't forget to tell all your friends about me

There's a guy named Henry who is special needs and every time he comes in the door here, people yell Hen RAY!! And he just grins so big. Funny.

What do you call it when environmentally conscious Cubans dance? Salsa Verde

If Superman became the Pope, then his archenemy would be Martin Luthor

I know that people like me, but I'm always looking for ways to have more people like me, and to like me in deeper and more meaningful ways

Don't waste your feelings on people who don't value them

If you ever need a true friend, please don't hesitate to pick up the phone any time, night or day, and I'll help you find one

For some people, the absolute worst place for them to be is always going to be wherever they happen to be at the time.

When I was in school a bunch of us were going out and I announced to everyone that we needed to go, and the girl I was crushing on looked me right in the eye and said I love you just right out of the blue. I was so shocked, should I admit my true feelings and risk our friendship? What if this was one of those defining moments of my life? I decided to go for it! I took her hand in mine and said I love YOU! She was speechless, time stood still, and she slowly turned from me and said ALL OF YOU! Get in the car, let's go! And I said, Yeah, no, of course, all of you get in the car, is what I was saying. This is a real thing that actually happened.

Even on a good day, I imagine I'll probably die alone. On a bad day, I look forward to it.

When people can't spell common words it makes me think they're stupid

I wonder if that guy who wrote the song Mr. Lonely went around introducing himself as Mr. Lonely? That would be kind of desperate. No wonder he was lonely.

Why don't you ever see a person fall down backwards on an escalator going up, and just keep tumbling over and over themselves forever?

I always hear people talk about getting real but people don't usually want to talk about the things that weigh on them, nor do they want to really listen to other people. The reason so many feel misunderstood is because we make no real effort to understand.

Seems like nothing ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge

It's funny sometimes when you make an impression on someone and you don't even realize it.

Whatever your belief system or position on any given issue, take time to really listen to what the other side is saying. See if there's any common ground, learn what it is that's actually important to them, hear what they're really saying. It's the only way you'll ever learn anything or become better than what you already are. It may help you address the other's concerns and strengthen your own argument. It may even change your mind. Just stop yelling at each other and actually listen.

Please, for the love of God, for the sake of your children and all of society, stop being stupid.

A Pastor friend of mine told me I should go into the ministry. And I laughed. Because that's funny.

Just now overheard two kids, one said I have a hamburger and you're stupid. That would be a great title for Ray Croc's autobiography.

So you feel that your life's become a catastrophe, oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy. And when you look through the years and see what you could have been or what you might have been, if you had had more time, so when the day comes to settle down, who's to blame if you're not around?

So many kids are going to Cheer camp this summer, don't any of the other laundry detergents sponsor summer camps?

Watching a crappy movie in High Def doesn't make the movie any better

I love it when I present a data sheet at work and someone challenges my final data when all it is is just a bunch of numbers added together and then I have to actually step them through the addition process like it's some great mystery when all the numbers are right there on the page in front of them, and then they're like WHere did this number come from? and I'm like From the two numbers right next to the equal sign with the plus sign between them! OMG!

I cooked a bunch of chicken, ok. I had it in the oven, took off the foil on top of the pan, bbq sauce all over it, and I told my son to take the chicken out of the oven and turn the oven off. 20 minutes later: WHat about that chicken? 

How come there's no Green Lantern in the Legion of Superheroes?

If Justin Moore, Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake formed a band, they could call themselves Justin League of America

A good way to assasinate someone would be a pinata full of an unstable base charge explosive

A few weeks ago I got the first two seasons of Veronica Mars at Target for $10.00. How did I not watch this show before?

Is it ok to apologize for saying something because you didn't mean to say it the way the person took it, even if the way they took it is actually also true?

On TV if you have a private conversation in the bathroom, the person you're talking about will ALWAYS be in one of the stalls

Jai guru deva

OK here's a question. When companies show same-sex couples in their catalogs, the religious right complains that they're not remaining neutral in the culture wars. But Chick Fil-A isn't being neutral, and they're not complaining now. Is it only neutral when they don't agree with you?

I was watching a rerun of New Girl and I think the people who make this show are big fans of The Ramones. Also there was a reference to a Cheap Trick song in another episode. Awesome.

I counted eight times that someone said the name Jason Bourne in the two-minute preview for The Bourne Legacy, once they showed a picture of Jason Bourne and once his name carved into wood. Way to advertise a movie that the character isn't even in.

The Dark Knight Rises is not only the greatest superhero story ever filmed, but the greatest movie ever in the history of cinema. In fact, I don't even think I would be exaggerating to declare it the crowning achievement of 10,000 years of human civilization.

It would be funny to hire two private investigators to follow each other around

If you hate something, hit it with a shovel. If it comes back to you, run like hell

I'm glad my last name isn't Dumas, because there's really only one way to mispronounce that

Woman @ the Starbucks perfect long blonde hair, perfect makeup, perfect Suzanne Sugarbaker beauty queen Southern accent...the kind of woman that normal guys would wind up running errands for just so she would call them honey. Would a good parent warn his sons how much work a woman like that is? Or should I reserve judgment and let them learn to deal with people on their own terms?

Talking to a bunch of people about Biblical names, and one of the people was named Am. I said that was like the Old Testament where God said I am. No one else laughed though.

I can barely stand the non-stop awesome of being me

The good thing about being a vampire in high school would be that when your parents go out of town, you wouldn't have a bunch of them show up to party at your house uninvited

Stand by....I'm about to impress the hell out of you

If someone's name was Danny Boyd, I bet he would hate that song Danny Boy

You know those high school courses where they make you carry around an egg and pretend it's a baby so that you know what it's like to be a teen parent? It would be more realistic if they made you get drunk first.

Stop wasting your potential to underachieve!!

Here's some trivia I never knew: Rick Nielsen and Bun E. Carlos (from Cheap Trick) recorded studio tracks for John Lennon on his final album Double Fantasy

If you're applying for work with a company that makes security devices for doors, a good thing to put on your resume is that you're a Peephole Person

I have a sweeping pronouncement to make. I'm done being nice. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

To my friends in Barrow County: I just got a call from a friend up there who has a neighbor who is experiencing some financial and health issues and is in need of assistance. I don't have any contacts for food banks or anything, does anyone have any resources they can point me towards or contacts I could call? This woman has kids and is in need of some short-term assistance, can someone get me the info and I can pass it on? Thanks so much!!

OK so I just helped someone, NOW it's back to being no more Mr. Nice Guy!!!

Here I am being a jerk, now maybe people will respect me.

My reaction to people like Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church is visceral and hostile and unkind. They make a mockery of Christianity and of the Gospel's teaching to love those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you. I need to be careful that my own reaction to them doesn't make me guilty of the same things I object to about them.

If you mix pasta and anti-pasta, would the universe implode?

You know that movie where one character writes a secret admirer love letter but it gets intercepted and passed around and everyone thinks everyone else is in love with them and all kinds of wacky hijinks ensue? What if they made the same movie only it was a group of friends on an island, and instead of a love letter it's a stalker kind of I'm watching you letter, and they all wind up killing each other? That would be awesome.

I told her I don't believe anything is ever accomplished by arguing or debate. She disagreed, but after I carefully laid out my case point-by-point, she eventually came around to my way of thinking.

I hate it when people say things like If you want to hear God laugh, tell Him your plans. I always want to say I think God's more into slapstick. I bet He'll laugh if I shove you down the stairs.

I hate funerals. I guess I'm just not a mourning person.

If there was an Asian guy named Wu and he liked to party, I bet everywhere he went people would go Whoooooo!!

Here's a fun thing to do: whenever you're walking down the street and you see a traffic accident, take out your cellphone and say Papa Bear to control: The Iguana is down. Repeat: The Iguana is down. Mission accomplished.

The Colorado shooter called himself The Joker and dyed his hair bright red. But the Joker has green hair. I think he meant Ronald McDonald.

Co-worker loudly arguing with his wife about money. I know he's going to want to talk to me about it when he gets off the phone, because he's used to my listening and helping him put things in perspective and maybe consider things he hadn't thought of. He just doesn't realize that I'm not Mr. Nice Guy anymore.

Leviticus 19:18 'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.

The worst part of having a third eye in the middle of your forehead would be that you couldn't really get offended when people stared, because they'd just be looking you in the eye

The good news is, today went by really quickly. The bad news is, I have to have the same exact day tomorrow and then every other day for the rest of my life til I die

Dear co-worker standing over my desk explaining to me in excrutiating detail what a heat pump is, how it works and how to install one: If I ever again own my own home and need a heat pump, I swear I will think you're the smartest man in the world and be appropriiately blown away by your expertise. Until such time, you are boring. Please go away. Love, everyone within earshot

The Last Supper was bread and wine, but what did Jesus and the Apostles have for their Last Snack? The Cheez Its of Nazareth

My life has no meaning

You can't live in the past. The rent might be cheaper but the commute is a bitch.

I had the Movin' On Up Jeffersons' theme song stuck in my head all day, came home to find out Sherman Hemsley died.

I was talking to a friend today who's mom recently passed away and she told me she knew her mom loved her, but she regretted never telling her back. Don't just tell your kids you love them: tell them you know all the things that kids (especially teens) never say out loud. Tell them they don't have to say it, because you already know.

Who does a young urban professional owl hire to take care of his kids? A hootin' nanny

I think you'd just better not be around me if you're uncomfortable with PDA....Public Displays of AWESOME!!!

How do I know you're real?

Being a parent is a lot like being an alcoholic. You have to admit that you're powerless and your life has become unmanageable.

My body is a temple. The Temple of Doom.

I lose more friends just by asking questions than by saying things that actually offend people

When the only pleasure you get out of the course of a normal day is seeing how many people comment on or like your Facebook posts, you should probably A) figure out how to get more people to notice your Facebook posts, or B) get a life

I want people to love me for who I am, not for who I tell them I am on the internet

Home is where you hang your head

A good slogan for a diaper delivery service would be Changing the world one diaaper at a time

I think more than any other animal, giraffes must be afraid of sinking in quicksand

Going to bed now. Please everyone pray for my good friend Bill Hubbard who is in critical condition after being hit on his bike this morning. Thanks.

Count your life in hours, not years. Nothing is promised to us.

My dumb friend Dan said If I could go back in time to the 80's I would just live there forever! I pointed out that it wouldn't be FOREVER because it would eventually be the 90's again....

One of the easiest jobs in the world would be giving Performance Evaluations at the CIA, because when they ask how they're doing all you have to say is I'm not allowed to say.

I like going into a fancy raw food restaurant and ordering pork chops

So sorry about the confusion tonight everyone, it was entirely my fault for misunderstanding. I still have to get up tomorrow for work so I am off to bed.

Why isn't Spice the plural of Spouse?

If a super genius like Einstein landed on a planet of monkey people who fought each other with rocks, it wouldn't matter how genius he was or how much he knew about physics or general relativity, it would only matter how far he could throw a rock.

I'm staying positive despite overwhelming odds

Leading a life of harmony and peace, free of all preconceptions and hurtful thoughts, begins by not giving a crap

Should I watch Firefly or the Third Season of Veronica Mars or the First Season of Game of Thrones?

OK Game of Thrones is a lot more interesting if you pretend that they're all Klingons

I can't sleep, I think that my Awesome is keeping me awake

Once in your life you find her, someone that turns your heart around and next thing you know you're closing down the town. Wake up and it's still with you, even though you left her way across town, wondering to yourself, hey, what have I found?

It takes Starbucks longer to pour coffee than it does other places to fix hamburgers. What is taking so long at the drive through people????

Apparently I'm not a good Christian. That's ok, i'd rather just be a decent person.

‎I have fought the good fight, I have run the race it's full course, I have kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7)

Whenever you're feeling down and lonely and it seems like no one cares, just always remember that you have one true friend, so don't be afraid to pick up that phone and call me anytime, day or night, and I'll help you remember who it is

If you ever have dinner with one of those Russian chess geniuses, don't go to a place that has checkered tablecloths, because I bet it would take like an hour to pass you the salt

If you're only attracted to homeless people, you're hobosexual

If you're looking for the perfect gift for a cowboy, take him to a pet shop and buy him a minature dachsund puppy, because cowboys always want to get a long little doggy

A little boy got circumcised and the next day went back to school. the teacher kept asking him why he couldn't seem to sit still, and he said he was in too much pain and wanted to go home. She said Ok, go to the office and call your mother to pick you up.

I feel bad that I cannot WAIT for my kids to go to the beach tomorrow. I feel even worse that I don't feel guilty about it. I can't wait til tomorrow so that I can start getting over it.

Evil is not dark and monstrous and easy to recognize. Evil is charming and beautiful. It makes you doubt yourself. It asks for one small compromise after another until it whittles you down, and it functions best when no one believes in it.

Life hurts because of our capacity to love. It's love that binds us together, like atoms in endless pirouettes of chaos and entropy, bound by time and gravity and the natural need for order. And we've all seen what happens when you separate them.

I know I am well past the point where someone might mistake me for one of the youth, or even a young adult, but today I got asked to join the 55+ group.

If there are high schools in nudist colonies, I bet their proms are really boring

I'm on the trail of a killer. Waging a one-man war on crime. Danger is my middle name.

In the state of Georgia, when a mime is issued a gun license, he has to use a silencer

They say that the Venus Fly Trap is the natural enemy of the fly, but I bet frogs and spiders pretty much hate them too, because they probably get the best flies

I like it that sometimes people call boxing The Sweet Science because I think scientists should all be allowed to punch each other

If I ever taught a yodeling class, I think the entire first semester would be spent on the yo part

Vegetarians say you shouldn't eat anything that has a face, but I think shrimp should be allowed, because they're really ugly

I bet to a vampire, being called Batman is like a racial slur, which is probably why they hate Batman

I bet if we all started going to Seaworld and secretly feeding raw steak to the dolphins, they'll get a taste for it and that will make them want to start evolving, so in a hundred thousand years there will be land-dolphins running around eating cows. But this means we have to get organized NOW!

Instead of only training big dogs to work with the police and military to use as attack dogs, I think we should start training small tiny dogs to attack in groups of 200 at a time

Goodnight, Facebook, you have once again failed to fill the void in my heart

Whenever I start to feel like a failure professionally, I remind myself that somewhere out there is probably a group of people who make a living as a Brady Bunch cover band, and I think Whew! I dodged THAT bullet!

I wish there was a political party for people who don't give a crap

Thanks for accepting my friend requestDemetrius Davis, you've just won the Olympic Gold Medal for AWESOME!!!!

I'm giving up quitting stuff

The Olympics, Kristen Stewart cheating, Chik Fil A, whether or not people want to get gay married, healthcare, the President, politics, Global warming, cats, the economy, and Justin Bieber. Things I don't give a crap about.

Whenever I see a car with a Student Driver sign, I like ride up real close to them, blowing my horn and screaming obscenities. I think student drivers should get the full driver experience. No need to thank me.

MUST VOTE TODAY TO HELP HOMELESS VETS. Please spread the word....post on FB and Twitter...GO VIRAL NOW!

The link below is not a virus, it's from my friend Sheila Collins Ferguson

I've decided to turn myself in. Don't try and talk me out of it.

Goodnight Moon

God doesn't forgive you because your sins are forgivable, or because you deserve it, or because it's no big deal. God forgives because it's in His nature to forgive. He is forgiveness. All you have to do is accept it.

On days like today, it really is better that I just keep quiet

Every day is a chance to start over, a chance to make new choices and throw off the shackles of your past. Don't let your mistakes define who you are, but choose for yourself who you're going to be. Don't get discouraged. Be awesome.

When I get pulled over, the police by law have to tell me about my right to remain AWESOME!!!

Whenever I hear the song Your Body Is A Wonderland I picture a woman with a yardstick against her wall that says You Must Be At Least This Tall To Get On This Ride

Without naming any names, the whole thing with Chick Fil-A has kind of surprised me, not because of the company itself but because of the facebook friends who have posted stuff supporting them (or not supporting them). A lot of people, you know where they stand, but a lot of them you never do until something like this happens and gets people talking about it.

Wouldn't it be ironic if scientists discovered that waffle fries made you homosexual?

I went to the Red Cross to donate a pint of AWESOME!!!

Live your life in hours, not years. Give what you have. Express yourself to the people you love. Value compassion. Be honest with yourself above everything. Love as much as you can for as long as you can. Don't waste it. We're only here for a season, and then we're gone. Make it count.

I called my friend Susan today and asked if I should wear a tie. I saw her and her husband at church and they were laughing and saying I need to get a wife. I said if that's the only reason to get married, I'll walk around shirtless.

Every cloud has a silver lining, except like mustard gas or carbon monoxide or that radioactive steam venting off a nuclear reactor after a meltdown

Did Noah take bugs on the ark with him?

Call me crazy but I have a feeling that today is going to be twenty four hours

Sometimes I wish I was 18 again. And then I think, if I could bend time and space to my will that way, would I waste it on such a selfish goal? And then I take a good long look at myself and I say, You're a dork.

The guys in the meeting keep talking about the TQA but it sounds like they're saying The Tiki Way and I'm wondering if this is a cult

I'm always thinking of stuff but never really able to express myself because people just wouldn't get it, or think I was weird or inappropriate, so in that way being me is kind of like being Superman, how he always has to rein in his superpowers or people would freak out.

Mementos are like keepsakes or souvenirs, not a candy for people who stutter

I bet one of the hardest parts about being a firefighter would be putting out a fire at a factory that makes prank birthday candles, because every time just when they got out it would blaze right up again.

I don't believe in corporal punishment for kids who are old enough to be reasoned with. I think gays and lesbians should have the right to marry. I think Muslims and Christians and Buddhists and even Hindus all pray to the same God. I believe that Jesus Christ is God and that the Bible is His Word. I believe in the death penalty. I think there is always a better choice than abortion but that they should be safe and legal. I believe that caring for one another is our highest calling. I believe in a free market economy. I believe that a country has a right and a duty to secure its own borders. I can still be friends with anyone who disagrees with me on any of these issues.

Walking past the cafe on the way out. Saw the little Latino girl. She says will you walk me down to the train? Sure, I said. And then she hooks my elbow like I'm escorting her? Wtf? And then before we get to the escalators she let's go. I said I guess there's someone in one of those places you didn't want to see? She said yeah, and maybe he'll think I'm with you. I said more likely he'll think I'm dying and you're with the Make A Wish Foundation.

I believe in true love the same way I believe in Bigfoot. It's probably out there somewhere, but hardly anyone's ever seen it, and most of what you see of it is faked.

When you go to Heaven, it may be that you have to play a Chess game against God to get in. So you better learn to play Chess now, because something tells me that God is awesome at Chess. Probably the only way to win is to do something insane like overtipping the board and going I win!!! but it'll take you forever to figure it out.

If you ever get to go to a fancy dinner with the Queen of England and you're all dressed up and sitting at a long table, it's customary to get up and go around the table touching people's heads and saying Duck....Duck....Duck.... But protocol dictates that you can't say Goose to the Queen unless you ask permission first.

Whenever someone tells me that they don't care what people think of them, I tell them that I heard they like to drop kick puppies off the overpass into traffic for fun, and I bet they care then.

Don't worry about the things you can't control. Like me, I'm out of control.

You think you know me but you don't. I'm a mystery wrapped in an enigma and covered in AWESOME!!

A good thing to do is, whenever you get a haircut, take the hair clippings and put them in a bag and keep it under your bed. And then if anyone ever accuses you of being crazy, you can get them on the stand in court and say Would a crazy person keep a bag of their own hair under their bed? And what can they say? Nothing. Because you just proved you're not crazy.

Jesus lived in a rigidly legalistic society where every thought and action was scrutinized and judged, and the slightest infraction meant death. Yet He preached Grace, Mercy, Forgiveness, and God's unending love for us. He reached out to the unclean, the lepers, prostitutes, pagans, Romans, women and men, Jew and Gentile, tax collectors, Zealots. The only ones He spoke against were those who claimed to speak for God and set themselves above others: Those who said Here is God, in this Temple, this Book, these words, this Law. Jesus Christ cast off the shackles that we insist on putting back on.

Just got some really discouraging news. It looks like I will be out of a job (Again!!) at the end of October. What's that thing people say about not having more than you can handle?

The difference between being spiritual and being religious is like the difference between having friends and being popular.

A good insult would be to tell someone there's a turd floating in their gene pool. See what I did there?

Did you know that Nietzsche died of syphilis? So did Robert the Bruce, Al Capone, Christopher Columbus, Scott Joplin and Napolean Bonaparte

When we were in sixth grade my friend Andy Petterson called a number and asked for Michael. It was a wrong number and the people got REALLY mad at him. So Andy wrote down the number and for the next 10 years he gave the number out to people and told them to ask for Michael. Poor people, they didn't know who they were dealing with...

Chick Fil-A's new promotion is that they're only serving guaranteed heterosexual chicken

My house is officially cleanish

OK I am off to bed! I love you all! I mean just the right amount, in a way that is appropriate and not at all weird.

All I ever wanted was a quiet, normal life

The only problem with X-Men First Class is that the Emma Frost in this movie can't be the same one in Wolverine's solo movie

I give so much of myself and I get so little in return. I'm like a shark with a thousand remoras stuck to me

If there was such a thing as a Possum Homicide Unit, they would spend half their time making sure that the victim wasn't just faking it

Why do I bother? Why do I try? Why do I even care?

If there was a movie about a baby detective it could be called Justice Never Poops

If you want to start eating healthier, here's a good rule of thumb: Eat more foods that have the color in the name of it, like red peppers or brown rice or green beans, etc., and less food that have the shape in the name of it, like nuggets or straws or fingers

I hate liars, especially lying liars when they lie

Lately it just gets harder and harder to even get up out of bed in the morning

I made a Community Page called Being So Freaking Awesome That Everyone Wishes They Were Awesome Like Me, which is where I'll be posting the random funny stuff that occurs to me. I tried to invite people that I thought would be interested, but if I missed anyone, feel free to join. My regular page here is where I'll post my personal stuff like about the job and kids and stuff, if anyone is still interested in that.

You know you're in the Bible Belt when you see a woman praying for healing over her iphone.

Taking my lunch break to work on my resume. Hoping I find something before I run out of work November 1. It sucks being unemployed during the holidays. Meeting with a recruiter on Thursday.

My resume is awesome. I am awesome. If someone doesn't hire me with this resume it just shows how incompetent they are.

I just saw a dude slap the living $4it out of a screaming kid that couldn't be more than two. I didn't say anything but I looked up like WTF?? And the lady screamed Shut up! The kid of course screamed louder. And then the guy looked at me and I said Why don't you try hugging him? I normally don't get emotional but I wanted to kick that guy's ass.

EVen when I go to my page BEING SO FREAKING AWESOME THAT EVERYONE WISHES THEY WERE AWESOME LIKE ME, I can't seem to find a way to invite anymore of my friends to join. So if anyone else wants to join, message me

A lot of thinngs are only controversial because people are stupid.

Someone told me that, in the Old Testament days, Harry Potter would have been put to death for practicing witchcraft. It didn't strike me as either a good reason to read the Bible or to not read Harry Potter.

So there's this recovery group that I kind of accidentally took over as the facilitator, and it kind of sputtered for a while, but every time I thought about quitting, someone else would show up or call me about it and it would keep limping along. But in the last few weeks there have been two guys who start showing up regularly who are brand new to recovery and it's kind of awesome watching how they're changing their lives and how God brings the right people into their paths at just the right times that they need it. Now I have like 5 regulars and six or seven that show up occasionally and it's really making a difference in their lives. So that's kind of awesome.

Woman sitting next to me on the bus smelled like bourbon and stale cigarettes and was complaining that MARTA being late was going to cost her her job.

I do not understand women. I very seldom feel the need to, but on occasion I am reminded that I do not.

While watching TV, I had a conversation about the program I was watching with a co-worker. I suggested that one of the character's obsession with another was due to an external locus of identity whereby he was only able to value himself in terms of the success or failure of his pursuit of a transient, arbitrary goal. I think my observations might have impressed her if it hadn't been a Roadrunner cartoon.

I think so many thoughts

What do you say when you don't know what to say but you know you have to say something?

I believe in setting boundaries for kids and letting them make choices within those boundaries, and then living with the consequences of the choices that they make. After a certain point, punishing kids for not doing what you tell them to do only teaches them to obey without questioning, and doesn't teach them how to make wise decisions for themselves.

I have such limited social interaction that if I disappeared it would probably be weeks before anyone noticed

I've lived in four different cities and thirteen differnt houses (including two apartments). I went to six different schools from K-12. Owned seven cars. I've worked for 14 companies (not counting p/t work), been laid off eight times. Belonged to (or attended regularly) twelve different churches of three denominations and a Buddhist temple. I probably know 2000 people.

Be encouraged. Be kind. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Question everything. Think for yourself. Trust your own heart. Speak your mind. Ask for help when you need it and accept it with grace. Give what you have. Pray and seek God. Be awesome! Have a nice day.

I was interviewing a guy who on his form said he was Catholic. I asked what church he went to and he said Saint Thomas the Acquaintance

If a guy predicted that the world was going to end on a certain day and then that guy died on that exact day, then I think that should kind of count as being right, in a way

The difference between marriage and prison is that, from the outside, marriage looks attractive to some people.

The hotel I stayed at asked if they should send a maid to my room for turn down service. I said hey, I get turned down at home for free, dumbass

The real secret of the universe is not that everyone deserves love and compassion, but that no one does, including me. It's how we can avoid judging one another, how we can give freely without reservation, because we are all flawed and imperfect. No one deserves God's Grace: That's what Grace means.

I'm tired and sore and sunburned and having chills and I don't want to get up but I have to do laundry and I have to fix supper. Augh.

One man is quiet and kind and lives a life of humility and service. He dies and stands before God amazed, not just by His glory and majesty but by His utter familiarity. It was YOU all along! One man is senselessly cruel and devotes his life to his own amusement. He stands before the same God, offered the same blessings and the same communion, and he says Who are you? Why am I here? This must all be a trick! And he wanders off into darkness. This is the only judgement, the one we choose for ourselves.

It's only been 24 hours but it seems like just yesterday...

The Veggie Tales should have a special episode about stalking, and they could use a celery character

Please make a special effort today to try not to be stupid

I know a guy who always listened to David Allan Coe, all the time, just couldn't stop listening to David Allan Coe. Eventually, he had to get treatment for his Coe Dependence.

If I could send a message to my 12 year old self and tell him that one day there would be satellites beaming kung fu movies from outer space to my living room, I just know he'd be happy

Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur.....

The Apostle who didn't really know Jesus all that well, except in passing, was known as Saint Thomas the Acquaintance

I dread going to work every day knowing it's going to end in a few weeks and that I have to find a new position before then. Having to find a new job every few years, never accruing vacation time or seniority, being the only source of income to support my kids....doesn't quite suck as much as unemployment sucks, but it does feel like running on a gerbil wheel that you can't get off of. So, Happy Monday everybody!

How come there are signs that say Beware of Dog but you never see one that says The Cat's A Jerk? Because they totally are.

A good invention for a woman's car would be an airbag with make up on it, so they don't have to worry about what they look like when they get to the hospital

I'm not sure how I feel about physician-assisted suicide, but I think if I'm ever in that situation, I'd rather have ninja-assisted suicide, because being killed by ninjas is more awesome.

At my funeral, I want everyone to get 3D glasses. That way, if there's anyone who really isn't ready to let go, it'll seem like I'm coming right at them.

I get emails from women on dating websites that I never signed up on

You know that movie where Robin Williams dresses up like a clown and makes all his patients laugh? I bet if Dr. Kevorkian had taken that approach, things would have turned out much differently for him.

So the AA group that I kind of accidentally wound up taking over is finally starting to take off, there were 10 guys tonight and we had a good mix of noobs and old-timers, everyone had something to contribute and you could really see how it's making a difference.

One night I picked up a hitchhiker and she asked me to take her to a certain address, so I did. When we got there an old woman answered the door and she said That was my daughter....she died years ago....from eating too many Pop Rocks!

Meeting with a new recruiter today and suddenly feel inadequate and underdressed. Is it me, or the fact that she looks like an NFL cheerleader?

So one reruiter has cancelled lunch with me FOUR times in two weeks (and she's the recruiter I'm using for the job I'm on NOW)...trying a new company, this one cancels by email 3 seconds before we're supposed to meet. Very encouraging.

Doctors are now saying that voting for Obama could cause cancer, if you smoke and vote for Obama. So vote against Obama, quit smoking, and live to see your grandkids.

WARNING!!! If someone posts a link on your wall that says Click Here To Download Coldplay's New Single To Your Hard Drive DO NOT CLICK IT!!! It's a virus that will download Coldplay's new single to your hard drive!!

Everyone be nice to me or I might just FREAK OUT!!

Why doesn't waffle rhyme with raffle?

The word Samaritan in modern varnacular has come to mean one who does good and is recognizable because of a parable in the Gospel of Luke. A part of the story that we miss in the retelling is that the Samaratins practiced an Abrahamic religion that was wholly separate from the Judaism of Jesus's day, and a Samaratin would have been considered unclean, and rejected by people in Jerusalem. The point of the story is that the Samaratin stopped to help a person who would have scorned him, or even actively persecuted him. The ones who considered themselves good and Godly passed right by.

When you're 46 years old and it's 5am and you don't want to even be awake and you're getting off the train in the morning and a 20-something latina chick comes up and hugs you for no reason, it kind of restores your faith in humanity a little bit.

President Millard Fillmore was so opposed to the two-party system of government that up until his death in 1874, he never once voted in an election. Since his death, however, he has voted several times in Chicago.

I got a call about a 3 yr contract with a Fortune 500 company. It would also be a significant pay increase. The recruiter has already submitted my resume. Fingers crossed.

The guy who plays Wolverine, the guy who plays Dr. House, and the old newsanchor guy from 20/20 are all starring in a new celebrity reality show called So You Think Hugh Can Dance?

There are certain things that people say or do that automatically make me think they're shallow, self-centered or stupid, but I'm not going to tell you what they are.

How come weathermen all claim to be more accurate than other weathermen when they all give the same weather? They should stop pretending that it's science and just have bikini weathergirls.

I met with another recruiter today. This one didn't look like an NFL cheerleader, she looked more like a background dancer in a country music video

Is swag the same as bling?

If someone asks something of you and your immediate first thought is Why should I? then don't do it. It means that you're expecting something in return, even gratitude. It also means that you probably won't be satisfied with whatever it is you get in return. Do what you can, give what you have, and expect nothing. Otherwise, you're not giving; you're merely trading.

Listen to people you disagree with. It's the only way you'll learn anything.

Sleep well and dream of large women

I was thinking this morning that if the old Chinese guy on the movie Gremlins had told the kid what would happen if he didn't follow the rules, the movie would have had a much different ending. Because like Don't get him wet would make me think he doesn't like water and he'll get upset, not that he would asexually multiply exponentially until he causes a Tribble-like ecological disaster. I blame the old Chinese guy.

A sign of bad parenting? I get used to having to explain the Star Trek references in The Big Bang Theory to Indy, but the other day I was watching an episode of TNG with Wesley Crusher in it, and Indy said Isn't that the guy from The Big Bang Theory?

Here's a Star Trek joke: How does the away team start a campfire? With the Captain's log

One day I'll be the hero

Jesus said “My children, I will be with you only a little longer. You will look for me, and just as I told the Jewish leaders, so I tell you now: Where I am going, you cannot come. A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

I'm at the normal doctor's office

In India, a baby elephant is chained to a concrete post sunk deep in the ground, and they will pull and strain against it for hours until they're exhausted and defeated and their spirit is broken by the futility of resistance. After that, no matter how big an elephant gets, the flimsiest strand of rope around their neck will cause them to be docile and immobile. Hence the term an elephant never forgets.

Just got back from the doctor. My Awesome levels are off the charts. In fact, he asked if I would take part in some clinical trials they're doing on some Awesome-Inhibitors so that people around me don't get jealous of all my Awesome. I accidentally stood too close to the Awesome Detector and the police were alerted and they had to evacuate the building.

I think a good thing to do would be to take a video camera out and try to get people to give opinions on stuff that isn't real. Like I bet if you just made up a random name and called it an Act or a Tax and then asked what people thought about President Obama's handling of the situation, hardly anyone would be neutral. I bet people would get all worked up and passionate about it even though it's not even real. I've always wanted to see a news crew do this, but of course they never would.

Stupid and Awesome cannot coexist. Be Awesome. Don't be Stupid.

Do you really think I care?

I'll never forget the time I was in the Cub Scouts and we all got drunk. The Wolf Scouts got drunk and fell down, the Bear Scouts got drunk and fell down, and the Webelos, well, they wobbled, but they didn't fall down

Apparently I'm an insensitive ass

If you have a lot of drama in your life and you give me just little bits and pieces of it so that I'll have to ask you questions about it to find out what's going on....but then I don't ask you any questions, and I stop taking your calls and I don't involve myself or take your side....don't make yourself crazy asking whether or not I even give a crap at all. I'm telling you right now, I don't.

And every night he said the same thing, Good night, Westley. Sleep tight. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.

‎I don't like kids. Everywhere they go, they're all sticky, like they've got jam on their hands. Even when there's no jam in the house, somehow, they've got jam on their hands.

Since I am not posting on FB today everyone try to post one funny thing on my wall. And remember the golden rule; Be Awesome. Don't be stupid.

‎....and on the seventh day, God rested, and looked at all of His creation, and said It is good.....and Obama said You didn't build that...

When I was in grade school, the football coach always told us to give 110% and we won every game, but we all flunked math

Everything is beautiful and magical

I'm not entirely convinced that there is a devil, but if there is, I think he's probably more like you and me than he is like God.

Whoever said May the odds be ever in your favor doesn't understand a probability matrix, or what odds are or what the word favor means

So now I'm being told that I use humor to avoid intimacy

Somewhere along the way, I have failed to communicate to my kids that stacking dirty dishes in the sink does not constitute cleaning the kitchen

When a woman tells you that she's strong and independent, it means that she's adept at throwing hissy fits until she gets her way. When a woman doesn't tell you that she's strong and independent, that's when she usually is.

If you read the Bible backwards, it's about a bunch of people who survive a horrible war, try to learn how to forgive each other and when that doesn't work, make a bunch of laws, get conquered a lot, sell themselves into slavery and when there are just two of them left, they settle down in a garden until they turn to dust

Order is a beautiful thing, but so is chaos. Look at any playground: The mayhem, the screams, the tears and the laughter. Yet from that disorder comes joy, and love, and from those come relationships, and some of them will be the strongest ones you'll ever know. Some things you can't control. Some things just happen. Let them.

A joy shared is a joy multiplied. A sorrow shared is a sorrow divided.

It's natural to avoid pain, even if it's a pain we have to get through to become better people. The Buddhists call it aversion and it's one of the three causes of suffering. We avoid the pain of others the same way we avoid open flames or wild animals: It's survival instinct. The problem is, when we do that, we stop helping, and that's how people wind up alone. So the next time you wonder Why does God allow people to suffer? try instead asking Why do I allow people to suffer?

If anyone finds my will to live lying around, please return it. It has my name on it, though it's gotten really small in the last few years.

It is on in a way that is very much like the Donkey's Kong

That awkward moment when someone posts a cryptic status on Facebook and you want to know what's going on but then realize you don't care enough to actually ask

I had lunch with a recruiter today. We talked about me the first half of lunch and we talked about her parents' divorce for the second half. Is that weird?

One of my strengths is my attention to detale.

In teenage logic, an hour and a half argument to avoid a 20 minute household chore is a pretty even trade-off

I had another excellent recovery group meeting at church tonight, it's so awesome seeing how people can change their lives. What an inspiration they are.

I want to thank all of my FB friends for all of their political posts. They are all so relevant and informative and they make you all seem so much more well-informed and topical that my admiration for you is just through the freaking roof!! Also you all should know that I was on the fence before, but because of the passion you've shown in just bringing these unvarnished, unbiased facts to my attention, that you'v e actually made up my mind for me!! Thank you!

Lately I've just been so tired and short-tempered and mad at the whole universe, so much so that I wish I was an astronaut and could fly out into space to KICK THE UNIVERSE IN THE NUTS!!

I see a lot of people posting on FB about how when they were little they used to get their ass whupped if they stepped out of line and kids today don't show respect and that's what's wrong with the world today. But I don't see anyone posting about how they don't believe in corporal punishment. I think it works if you want kids who will do what they're told, but not so much if you want them to think for themselves. I don't believe in corporal punishment for kids who are old enough to learn to make choices and live with consequences. And I think the problem in the world is not that people have stopped ass whupping but that they aren't parenting at all.

There should be a word in the English language that means the restraint one must exercise in business when a low-level self-important ass drags the meeting out by refusing to stop droning on and on about a subject no one else cares about

The Batman checks I ordered last time are no longer available. I ordered Looney Tunes instead.

I offered my seat to a woman from Germany. I half-expected her to take my place and then shove everyone else off the bench. Is that being prejudiced?

A man in a hotel lobby is approached by a hooker. He turns her down, but after a minute he says Out of curiousity, how much would you have charged? The hooker says 1000 an hour. He says No offense, but I never imagined it would be so much. I couldn't imagine paying more than 250. Just then his wife joins him and as they're leaving, the hooker says Is that what you get for 250 these days?

I just saw two women kissing. How gay is that?

I bet part of the screening process to join the police force is to make sure strippers don't join just for the uniforms

Today I witnessed a douchebag talking tough to his kid for whining like a baby (that's a quote). Impressive. Not sure what she was whining about. It's hard to tell with three year olds.

Once I was working in a little hotel in Stone Mountain and the GM was training me to man the fire panel, and he showed me the pull station to set off the general alarm. It was one of those old-timey ones with a small pane of glass and a hammer to break the glass. And he said If you have time, when the alarm goes off, put some tape on the glass before you break it so that it doesn't go flying everywhere. But if not, safety comes first, so just break the glass and get everyone out.

A guy came into an AA meeting, he had like 10 days sober, and he was talking about how he dreamed that he had been drinking. The dream seemed very real and it kind of threw him off-balance. I tried to be reassuring and I told him that even with 10 or 15 years sober, you could still have those dreams. Tonight a new guy came into the meeting (never been in before) and his 10 year anniversary is next week, and he shared how two nights ago he dreamed that he had been drinking. That was a pretty awesome thing to witness, how encouraging that was to the first guy.

I'm taking my ball and going home then.

I believe in true love the same way I believe in the atomic particle: I've never actually seen it but I have a vague understanding of the theory behind it, and I know a lot of people have died because of it.

Got a solid job lead today. Had a phone interview already, dude emailed me the benefits package and some forms to fill out. We'll see how this plays out.

I just met a woman at the train station, she's a graduate student at GSU studying forensic psychology specializing in sexual deviants. She gave me her number and I didn't even ask for it. I wonder what's wrong with her.

I'm sorry but what the hell takes people so long at the ATM?! Are they refinancing their houses???

If I knew back when I was 18 how much crap I could have gotten away with and still not be dead or in jail, my life would be so much different now

Am I the only one who thinks Chuck Norris is a douchebag?

Always remember that you have a true friend, and if you're ever feeling alone and you need someone to talk to, night or day, just pick up the phone and call me, and I'll help you think of someone you can talk to.

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE!!! I am ready to unfriend completely the next grownup person who uses the word Yummy!! It is a freaking baby word and has no place in an adult vocabulary!!

The PA system at the Marta stations sound like grownups talking on Charlie Brown

In April of 1976, responding to public criticism by former bandmate John Lennon that his recent work was inconsequential fluff, Paul McCartney released Silly Love Songs. The single was certified gold and spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard charts.

Sheldon: The Roommate Agreement states that if either of us ever invents time travel, our first destination will be this apartment, five seconds from now....well, that's disappointing...

Going for an interview. Please oh dear Lord God Jesus Heavenly Almighty Merciful Father Savior and Redeemer, let this go well.

I'm like a ninja and the interview was an evil samurai that I just kicked in the nuts

People who don't like having religion forced on them, often have no problem forcing their politics on others.

Man, I am ON FIRE tonight with my witty comments!! I bet you people wished you could live inside my brain.

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin, and we would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in. You're all invited back next week to this locality, to have a heapin' helping of their hospitality. Set a spell, take your shoes off. Ya'll come back now, y'hear?

If you have a baby and you put your hand over the baby's mouth and start moving it up and down, the baby will always know to start making the motorboat sound. It's evolution in action.

Think positive! Unless you're taking a drug test.

If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus, so watch out for Uranus

In the very beginning of every episode of Remington Steele, it shows Laura Holt signing Steele's name to a contract. Indy was watching the first episode and said Now, when he took over as Remington Steele, how did he learn to sign his name in exactly that way? Don't overthink it.

A good sitcom would be about Elvis Costello in witness protection, hiding in out with the head monk in a monastery. It could be called The Abbott And Costello

Saturday morning a car was coming the other way without its lights on, so I flashed my lights to tell him to turn his lights on and a cop pulled me over because he was trying to catch speeders and he thought I was warning them with my lights. I was like, Dude, I promise, I didn't even see you there... but WTH is a cop doing out on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road at 6:30 am on a Saturday morning trying to catch speeders?

I was feeling better so I got up and cooked and did laundry and cleaned the living room, but now I am all feverish and fluish again and wishing I could just unscrew my head and vacuum it out and put it back on

I love strong capable women of substance as long as they're not all bitchy and crazy.

It's clear to me that all you people who are happy have stolen all the happiness in the universe, so that there's none left for people like me

I believe that when Jesus Christ told the Pharisees (regarding payment of their taxes to Rome) to Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's it wasn't a blanket endorsement of taxation or government. He wasn't saying that we should never vote, or protest, or stand against an oppressive government. He was saying Don't drag Me into it. That's not what I'm about. That's not my message. Whatever your opinions, whatever your politics or even your religion, we can all still get along.

If you took someone who stutters and put them in an echo chamber, I bet they'd think they were in a time machine.

I had some vacation time last year and my friends recommended I go to a spa or something, just pamper myself. But I don't think they make diapers that big, and even if they did I would need help to get them on

Who else thinks ginger honey pancakes sounds like a good idea?

Summer days, drifting away, but oh those summer nights

I can always tell when someone has clown makeup on and when they're just really freaky-looking. It's kind of a gift.

I wonder is the first Irishman to say May the road rise to meet you had just left the pub and fallen face-first in the street?

When someone doesn't like me, I assume there's something seriously wrong with them, like they're just allergic to AWESOME!!!!

When we first got married my wife and I could never agree on anything. I wanted the mountains, she wanted the beach. I wanted Thai, she wanted Italian. Eventually we learned to compromise. That's when we got divorced.

Love is a many splintered thing.

A goood X-Men mutant superpower would be the ability to make the flavor of gum last forever. Only it would work on other people, but not him, so he would be dark and edgy.

There's an entire department in the data center called Middleware and for some reason I always imagine it's run entirely by Hobbits

Somedays I hate my life and wish I was dead. Other days I sleep in.

Ran out of gas on Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road right near my house. Luckily my neighbor came out and brang me some gas. Thanks, Jason Thomas

If someone says something negative or critical of me, I try not to automatically think of all the reasons why it isn't true and then kick them in the nuts. Instead, I try to consider if there is any truth to what they're saying so that I can then use that knowledge to improve myself. If someone says something positive or encouraging, I appreciate it and it definitely makes a difference, but I try not to let it go to my head. Because in the end, for myself, the only thing I have to consider is the next choice I make. Whatever I've done or not done, whatever people may think of me, God's only question for me is What do you do next

Count it all joy, my brothers,[a] when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:2-6)

Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who tells you different is selling something. ~The Dread Pirate Roberts

Whenever someone tells me that they think they know me from somewhere, but don't remember where, I say, You don't remember? Then I back up a step and assume the Tiger Stance and I say WE MET IN BATTLE!!!'

Compassion means giving of yourself to those in need. It doesn't mean voting for people who promise to take other people's money and give it away. Take whatever political stance you want, but don't pretend it makes you morally superior.

If your religion says that you're part of a group that is somehoe set apart from or superior to the rest of humanity, if your religion teaches that all people are not equally good and bad, and deserving (or not) of mercy and redemption.....then question your religion.

I consider myself apolitical, but that's only because I don't give a crap.

Two weird looking dudes talking on 2-ways walked past me and Emily just now. She rolled her eyes and said Dragon-Con hires their own security. I said And apparently they're paid in weed.

I tried to talk to the chickens, but they balked.

If I ever have to talk down a crazy person from a ledge who thinks that they can fly, I'll just remind them they can take off from the ground

Life is pointless. Love is dead. The universe is descending into chaos and all matter and energy will devolve into white noise and useless background radiation.

Most people who claim to always tell it like it is and speak their mind without filters are just too narcissistic to be sensitive to other's feelings, and too stupid to be tactful.

The APD won't have much to do this weekend, what with all the superheroes patrolling the streets

Today I saw the Sex Crimes Lady and the Crying Hippy Chick. It must be Crazy Chicks Ride Free Day on Marta.

Never confess to a woman that you hate yourself, especially never say it in response to the question Why do you love me so much?

I just got back from therapy. I'm in therapy. Don't know if you knew that.

If you were a baby and you had a lisp and your name was Tristan and you heard that song Twistin' By The Pool, you would probably think that song was about you

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Or on fire and shot out of a cannon.

It's been a long time since I overslept like that, hitting the snooze button and spewing obscenities at the alarm clock, cursing the universe whose physical laws require that I work to feed and provide for my offspring while time continues to wear on my mind and body, questioning my own place in a society whose members have yet to recognize my value and rise up as one, declaring me absolute ruler of all that I survey.....

Unlike white tigers, white lions don't occur in nature. As a result of their unique mutation, white lions are often overly aggressive, mentally retarded, cross-eyed or blind.

I know several atheists who are not content in their own disbelief, but seem to feel the need to mock those who believe and hold themselves up as intellectually superior. I find them no less obnoxious than those who force their religion on others. I suggest we start an organization to bring them all together in a Society of Truth, Faith and Unity, and call the STFU.

I was kind of singing to myself at my desk the song Uncle John's Band and my co-worker just said to me Now that song you're singing, where is that from? Is it from 'Annie'?

If I ever win the lottery I'm going to have a provision in my will that on the morning of my funeral, someone go out and hire a bunch of illegal day laborers to cry really loud at my funeral

There are three different people in my life who tell me that I need to just get off of Facebook forever. All three of them believe that Facebook is the devil and will lead to the downfall of Western civilization, so I take it with a grain of salt.

I never watched that movie where the guy is stuck in a cave and has to cut off his own arm to get out, but I saw the previews and I was thinking, it would really suck if he was halfway through and then realized it was the OTHER arm. That would be my luck.

A fun way to get your kids to clean up all the dirty laundry in their rooms is, tell them you just killed a bunch of Jedis in there

I'm still waiting for the Sherman Helmsley Faked His Own Death rumours to start

Teenagers type LOL all the time because it's their way of saying I'm giggling like an idiot over things that aren't even funny

I believe that children are the future. Especially time-traveling children.

I don't care what anyone says I think Clint won that debate

A good TV show would be So You Think You Can Skydive: Country Music Star Edition

Community is the most bizarre show ever.

If there was a set of dishes that you could freeze stuff put it out on the table in, then it could be To Serve And Protect

If the government is spending billions of dollars intercepting all my phone calls, they must be trying to weaponize my AWESOME!!

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, that's called a boomerang and it's awesome.

You know those goats that scientists have genetically modified to produce a protein that's like a spider's web? I bet there's a parallel dimension where that experiment got out of control, and those scientists come home every night and find goat's walking on their ceilings

The people who made The Flntstones are clearly creationists.

If Puritans had a show like Sesame Street then they would end every program by saying Sesame Street was brought to you today by the Scarlet Letter A ....BURN IN HELL, YOU WHORE!!!

Indy had a friend spend the night last night, and today the kid's dad came to pick him up and I invited him in for coffee. He asked if he could take a picture of my living room. I wish I could say that was the first time that's happened.

When I was a kid I used to wonder what kind of parent I would be. Now that I'm grown, my kids wonder what kind of parent I would be.

I'm going to start ending every sentence with the word bitches. I'm off to bed now, bitches.

A friend called and asked me to help her move. I said sure. But now I'm worried, what if she meant move like ON THE DANCE FLOOR???

Never try to be something that you're not. Unless that's your X-Men mutant superpower.

In Hollywood, no one ever has morning breath

You really have to admire someone who can write and record a Number One hit while being homeless and living in his car, like Gary Numan.

I bet in ancient Egypt, you could go to college and study mummy wrapping, and I bet a good college prank would be when someone gets passed-out drunk, to wrap them up like a mummy and leave them in a sarcophagas

When it's Thanksgiving for superheroes, I bet it's awkward when they accidentally invite a supervillian and he shows up with a dish that no one likes.

If someone loved me and they set me free, I don't know if I would go back because I would be all What the hell?

If you're ever really really stressed out, just stop whatever you're doing and imagine that you're all alone in a big beautiful forest and there's no one around for miles. Except don't imagine that means you can just urinate wherever you want to.

Whenever I go to the grocery store, I always use the self checkout because it says I'm a valued customer, and some days that's all the validation I get.

My brothers and sisters used to have contests to see who could draw the best random shapes with crayons. It was kind of a scribbling rivalry.

I used to get so mad that I felt like strangling someone. My mom always said when that happens, I should just count to ten. As I got older, I learned that it takes a lot longer than that to strangle someone.

It's awkward when you've known someone for a very long time and you have an image of them of being strong and secure and having it all together, and then one day you realize that they are insane and delusional, perhaps dangerously so.

Whenever you start to feel lonely, just remember, you're only alone when there's no one else there with you.

I'm at my mom's house she's ironing my clothes for me

Two guys in recovery both of whom had their very first Meeting ever at my home group, both getting their 30 day chips this week. What a privilege to witness how they're changing their lives!

If you believe, do your best. Act with kindness and compassion. Think of others first. Do good no matter how you feel: Get up when you'd rather stay in bed, help someone when you'd rather walk past them, give when you'd rather save up for yourself, smile when you'd rather cry. God is real, and true, and faithful; you be real, and true and faithful, no matter how you feel about it. Keep going. Endure. Be awesome.

I'm sorry, but we are no longer friends. Leave your badge at the desk on the way out. Your personal effects will be boxed up and sent to you. I SAID GOOD DAY!!!

My kids were afraid of monsters in the closet until I gave them loaded guns to keep on their bedstands, as is my Constitutional right

Watching Veggie Tales in HD. It's like real vegetables are standing here singing to me.

Despite my repeated instructions to the contrary, people continue to be stupid.

I'm disgusted with Facebook. You know what you did, Facebook

The mainstream media is reacting to Michelle Obama's speech the way that I would react to a bikini photo spread of Megan Fox.

People like to hear positive, uplifting things because it makes them feel better about their lives and the world that we live in. It's about what they want and how they feel. People don't want to hear anything negative because it means they might actually have to listen to someone, or do something. And so no one reaches out or speaks up, no one trusts anyone with their feelings or their needs, and we wind up isolated and alone, surrounded by literally billions of others who are equally isolated and alone.

I'm tired of Facebook, and people, and life, and the world

I wonder if dairy farmers organize protests against lactose intolerance

Why do some people seem to think that a sarcastic sense of superiority makes them seem more intelligent?

That warm squooshy feeling inside? Don't worry, ladies, it just means you're falling in love with me. It happens to everyone.

Whenever I see a sign that says Warning - Children Playing, it doesn't bother me, because I'm not afraid of children. Except those babies with really sharp teeth and bat wings.

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends

Whenever I see a guy doing an exagerrated indoor-salute as a way of greeting, I used to think Well, there's a fun guy who doesn't take life too seriously! But now I think Well, there's a guy with an emotional disorder over-compensating for his lack of social skills!

My co-worker said she's sick of the media's stereotype of the Angry Black Woman. I said I get it, calm down...

Good News: Interview tomorrow. Bad News: I have to wear a suit so I have to go buy a suit and I don't even have anyone who could help me pick out a suit.

Ok my charcoal suit fits real good but I need to know if I can wear my burgundy dress shirt and still be business professional

Just you know why, why you and I will by and by know true love ways

The devil is in the decals

I don't like it when people talk about race. It makes it sound like someone is eventually going to win.

I'm sorry but, politics aside, and all else being equal, Joe Biden just looks like one of those 70's-era, mobbed-up labor leaders from South Boston, the kind who would stand across the street from your factory, absently flicking his cigarette lighter while talking about insurance premiums.

Telling someone who's clinically depressed to Just cheer up is like telling someone who's drowning to Just take a deep breath

When I moved in to this house a year ago, I had a pair of dress shoes that got lost in the shuffle, so I've just been wearing my boots pretty much everywhere. I've looked for these shoes at least a dozen times and never could find them. Well, I'm getting ready for my interview and I figured if I have any My Name Is Earl-type karma left, it'll let me find my dress shoes, so I stepped into the garage and I lifted up ONE box and there they were under the other side of the lid. So I am taking this as a good omen, a harbinger of good things to come.

If the corporate world was run by teenagers, I bet one of the things they would look for in a potential employee is how Axe body spray they doused themselves with. Like the interviewer would be waving at his face and coughing and his eyes would be all watery and he'd look up and say Son, I like the cut of your gib! You're hired!

I just saw a commercial for the show Revenge and the girl was holding a knife to a guy's throat and saying Dead or alive, I'm gonna find out what happened!! But....that makes it sound like she's the one who will be dead or alive, right?

Is it on purpose that the guy on the Red Lobster Endless Shrimp commercial sounds like the guy on Forrest Gump when he's naming all the ways you can get shrimp?? Seriously, just turn his hat backwards and slack that jaw a little....

If there was a Chinese guy named Foo and he went to a Foo Fighters concert, they would come at him with knives and nun-chucks and he'd be like What did I do? and they'd be all Foo Fighters? Hello? and he'd be like Crap!

If you do something really bad and you die and go to Heaven and God asks why did you do that really bad thing, I bet a good way to get out of it is to say in a really loud voice NO SPEAK-O ENGLISH!

There was a really poor turnout for our seminar on poverty

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that just because they indict you, it doesn't mean that you're the main focus of the investigation. On the other hand, that won't make going to prison any easier

A good movie would be about a wildlife preserve where all the giraffes were dying of a mysterious disease. It could be called Giraffe Sick Park.

If Facebook has taught me anything, it's that if you want to make a point to a middle-aged white woman, take a picture of it written in the sand and post it on your Facebook

My ex-gf said she's trying speed-dating. I told her it doesn't seem like there's hardly enough time for you to get drunk in three minutes.

Sometimes I'm on hold a really long time but I don't want to hang up because they keep telling me how important my call is to them, and I don't want to disappoint them

A very special episode of Hoarders could be about how James Franco goes into one of those people's houses and has to cut his arm off to get out.

I hate it when I wake up at three in the morning and there's no one awake to click like on all the awesome stuff I'm thinking up. I'm going back to bed.

When really big news events happen in Las Vegas, the guys in the studio are like And now to Jim Barber in Las Vegas. What's happening out there, Jim? ANd he'll be standing there cupping his ear and leaning down and be all I'm really not supposed to talk about it, Terry. Back to you.

In Mexico, the Supreme Court is like the regular court but it has sour cream and extra cheese

A good way to mess with a Venus Fly Trap is to give it skittles

Whenever someone says to me Why don't you take a picture, it'll last longer? I say thank you, and I do take a picture, and you know what? It does last longer.

The hardest part about being an ant would be what if there was another ant that you didn't like? You'd still have to work side-by-side with him carrying giant food

The reason Italian families have so many kids is because by law they have to keep having kids til they have one named Anthony.

Whenever God closes one door, he opens another one. That's why the air conditioning bill is so high in Heaven.

It's really sad that there's a commercial about dogs set to the tune of that Sarah McClaughlin song, because in real life dogs listen to Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time

I know the Bible says that it's a sin to lie but no one was trying to end a phone conversation back in the Bible days

A fun drinking game is to take a shot every time someone tells you you might have a drinking problem. We used to play that one for like 15 years at a time. No one ever really won.

A young guy I see on the train often, doesn't speak but stares at the ground and holds out his hand. Sometimes folks give him money and sometimes not. He's usually clean so I don't think he's homeless but he has a longish beard. I'll usually say hello to him and ask if he's ok. Well, today he looked me in the eye and shook my hand and said My name is Mick. And I said I'm Mark. And he said I'll remember that. You're my friend. And then just walked away. New meds maybe?

A guy named Willie shines shoes in the mall. He's been doing it for 25 years. Before that he was the doorman at the Georgian Terrace Hotel. Two months ago, he borrowed $10 from me. I told him to pay me back whenever. Today he did. The guy at the cleaners told me I lend him money sometimes, but I never let him pay me back. And I said You should let him. Treat him as an equal. Let him have his dignity. I didn't care about the money.
