If you are going to be a successful salesperson, you will need to be able to tell me what you are selling. If the pronunciation is too advanced for your verbal skills, please ask someone in the know, then practice the correct words - even use a mirror or some sort of voice recording/playback device if necessary.

I hate groups of people walking together that form walls like they think they are in a boy band music video. Especially when you are carrying something large and heavy and cannot get around.

Just head for the smallest one, look down and run them over. Unless they're bluehairs or little kids, I have no issue with running over someone who is in a group walking three or more across.

Why the hell does half of Food Network's broadcast time consist of shows by Anna Olsen and Michael Smith? Can't they come up with something better to meet their CanCon requirements?

I've grown to really hate American Idiot because of how much it has been overplayed. Hearing Green Day on the radio results in an involuntary reflex action of me changing the channel.

I read that as American Idol, which is also overplayed and results in channel changing.

I'm watching Casino Diaries on GTV and this station has the most ghetto commercials. They're selling Lincoln-Obama dollar coins for $19.95 + shipping & handling.

Ford didn't come back.

Either:
a) he doesn't want to share
b) he poured enough for everyone but then enjoyed them all himself and he is comotose somewhere else
c) He has grabbed his towel and has run off chasing Trillian

Ok. Why do some radio people talk so stupid-like? What's with these guys that say things like "the Iginlas, the Conroys, the Lombardis"... No it's Iginla, Conroy and Lombardi. There aren't two or three of each of them. There's one. Goddammit stop saying that.

And another thing... What the hell is with these pole-smokers that, when suggesting possible trade partners, they say it like this: "Well, maybe a Philly or a Washington". IT'S PHILLY OR WASHINGTON!!

What about the people who get really worked up about the silly ways people say things? The 4X4s, etc.

I get really worked up over people who question things.

Don't question it, accept it, life is easier if you don't give a crap.

It's nearing the end of the day on Friday, and I can feel my various addictions starting to wake up.

The creatures are stirring! Odd that they'd be restless, though, as I let them out on more than one occasion during the week.

Meanwhile, it seems my work brain caught the early bus home.

Mmmm ... Trillian. And Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. Mmm ... more rum.

Edit: On further reflection, maybe I'd better just stick to rum rather than than having a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Here's the Terran recipe for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Note the quantities of the ingredients, not just the ingredients themselves.

To make a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster using Terran ingredients:
Take the liquid contained in a 200 ml (6.75 oz) bottle of EverClear to remind you that your head will be clear forever if you drink too many Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters, and that your brain will clear of anything soon after you start drinking some, if not before.
Into it, slowly pour a 750 ml (25 oz) bottle of Bombay Sapphire to remind you of the marvelous beauty of the old Santraginean seas, or an equal amount of Jeremiah Weed in acknowledgement of what has happened to the Santraginean Seas and their lifeforms.
Now add 750 ml (25 oz) of Cold Wild Turkey, letting it run into the mixture as we run through life to remind us of all the lifeforms we meet and experience while hitchhiking through the galaxy.
Speedily stirring, add 375 ml (12.7 oz) of Herradura Tequila, mixing it in to commemorate the galactic hitchhikers who died of pleasure among the vapors and gasses in the marshes of Fallia.
Over the bowl of a silver spoon, let flow 1 litre (34 oz) of rum in memory of the waterfalls and their glorious rainbows encountered on your journeys through the galaxy of life.
Next, drop in the worm found in a bottle of Musquil, watching it dissolve into the mixture. If the bottom falls out and the worm survives, drink at your own risk.
Finally, sprinkle into the mixture some Gatorade to commemorate the lifeforms which have vanished and are becoming extinct, both sentient and non-sentient, especially those most in need of aid.

Maybe after the Flames win tonight I'll have one of those, although I'll have to pick up some EverClear and Gatorade. The rest I actually have, including that exact brand of Tequila and the Mescal.
