It’s now 05:06 07/08/09. These things don’t happen that often, and since I’m a numbers geek, I must at least mention it.

Of course, if you know me at all, you know I’m not actually posting at the ungodly hour of 5 AM. But through the magic of delayed posting, I can honestly say it is 5:o6 AM.

Check back at 09:09 09/09/09. (Just a month away!)

I like Rob Cockerham‘s advice: “Always bring your camera.” Thanks to the wonders of technology, I have a fairly crappy camera on my cell phone, and so I do take pictures whenever I see something funny or stupid. The problem is that I don’t do anything with those pictures… Until now!

I love food. But I’m a little uncomfortable when my food is laughing. Why is it laughing? Is it laughing at me? Is it laughing because it knows something I don’t know? Is it planning to poison me? Ack! The pressure!!

Speaking of food (and poison), I love egg nog. It’s one of my favorite holiday treats. As soon as it goes on sale at the store, I must buy some. But last year, I was a little hesitant about this first batch.

While I was at the store, I needed some AAA batteries. Buying in bulk is always a good deal, right? Here’s 16 batteries for $9.74 (That’s 60.9¢ each.)

So, let’s compare this package of 8 that was right next to it on the same display and cost $4.34. (That’s 54.3¢ each.) Hmmm.

Speaking of bad deals, one of these pairs of shoes is not on sale.

I love truth in advertising. And, thus, I think this is the smartest diaper bag ever. “Say mister! Whatcha got in that lovely pink diaper bag?” “Can’t ya read? It’s POO!”

And finally, Ghosty sent me this pic of a t-shirt someone’s selling. At first I was angry that anyone dare steal the same image I stole first, and use for my blog. But when I read the caption, I felt the kindred spirit and my anger melted away.

Bad news! I’ve got two white board quips back to back again. Time to start draining the big tub of posts in my queue.

I like my coffee like I like my women: In a plastic cup.

Don’t think about this one too long.
