Happy Monday

Happy Monday October 3rd. For those of you who are out-of-the-loop, October 3rd in Virus Appreciation Day. I am not sure if that refers to computer viruses or the traditional variety. Either way, there is little to appreciate, if you ask me. By the way, October 2nd was name your car day. I've had 4 cars and never named any of them, but I swore at one of them a great deal. Oh, and if I forget to mark the occasion, please remember that October 9th is Moldy Cheese Day. Is one supposed to eat moldy cheese or appreciate its aesthetic appeal on that day?

In other news, I am not Impressed:

A British rower has just set a record for the slowest Atlantic crossing. It took him 124 days. The poor bastard was trying to claim the record for the fastest rowing crossing and ended up in the record books for the slowest. I'm not impressed. I am sure that I could beat that by many weeks, possibly months.

OK, I admit that I would like to take a trip to the International Space Station, but not if it's going to cost me $20 million. Gregory Olsen coughed up $20 million to ride on a rocket. I am not impressed with that either. I feel that there are far more interesting ways to spend that kind of cash. Send me $20 million, and Ill show you.

I'm wiring you the money as we speak. Oh wait...if I had $20 million to hand over...nah...I'd keep it

I think it takes a certain amount of flexibility to realize that you're going to fail at your attempt at being fastest, and turn it around so that you still make it into the record book. No, Really.

I named my car Albert. Because, you know, it's smart.

When I was younger my dad had this Lincoln Futura. We called it the Boodie Doodey Car. I think I'm the one who came up with the name, though I have no idea why.

Yes. Like Einstein. Only without the hair.

I think you jinxed me. You announced it was Virus Appreciation day, and I came down with something. A curse on your blog!
