An homage to Weezie.

Reality has set in, and it turns out that I am actually supposed to work for the pitiful little paycheck that I receive every two weeks. As such, I will be neglecting you for the next few days, but know that I love you (well, some of you at least) and I'm still around. In the meantime I'm going to cheat and throw out a few things that amused me recently in lieu of actually being creative and writing...
First, we should all express our deep sorrow for the untimely death of our dear Weezy. No one could scare the crap outta Sherman Hemsley like she could. I recently saw her in an Old Navy commercial (because like WTF she is classy like that) and thought she looked FAB-U-LOUS. I found it hard to believe that she was 86. Hell, I hope I make it to 36.
This gave us something to discuss here in the office place though and I want to solicit your opinions... Since the Jefferson's was a spinoff, and a very successful one with a 10 year run, what is the best spinoff ever?? Not the longest, but the best. I have my opinion (aka. the right answer), and I'll be glad to share it later, but I don't want to stifle your creative juices. Go! Who's the best?? Give me your opinion and I'll tell you why you're wrong.
I had to get my truck worked on this week too (remnants from a little wreck I had a few months ago) and the Firestone where I took it is right next to Half Price Books. Next to porn and sporting goods stores, book stores are my favorite place to browse/shop (hell, given the right mood I might choose a bookstore over the other two). I was wandering around and trying not to give in and buy Wolves of the Calla in hardback when I came across the new Bill Clinton book. I figured this would be the best cross between book & porn ever, but somehow I managed not to buy it. When I got back to the office, I found this...
Clinton's new book is 957 pages for $21. That comes out to about $0.0219 per page. But, a better buy might actually be:
Here you get 800 sheets for $2.09. That's only $0.0026 per sheet.
Do some quick math and you'll find that you get 8 1/2 sheets of Charmin for about the same price as one page in Clinton's book. That seems like a pretty good deal when you consider I'd probably use them for the same purpose.
And last but not least to all of my relationship challenged friends out there (and that means nearly all of you), I have found someone that you can make fun of. One of those 'you think you have it bad' scenarios. Anytime any of you are mad because your ex is blabbing about your DLand page, or your boyfriend's "drill" can't seem to penetrate your "cabinet" (sorry you knew I couldn't pass that one up), then jot over and take a look at this:
Things my girlfriend and I have argued about!
I'm off to the Capitol.
