Friday Random Ten

Random? Ten? Ok, here's some of what I am hearing in my head today
1- my first car was a 1972 Pinto that the bottom of the doors rusted through and you could see daylight. They don't make them like that anymore...
2- There was a guy a couple years older than me in high school whose nickname was "Dogballs." Couldn't understand that until I practiced with the varsity over Christmas break my freshman year. You aren't supposed to "notice" things like that in the locker room but holy crow...
3- One of my neighbors has killed 2 trees in his yard over the past 3 years by not watering. All his grass is dried and dead. Yesterday I noticed the hose and sprinkler was on the lawn. Apparently it is time to water the weeds...
4- I have lived in Texas more years than I lived in Connecticut. But I still pay attention to news stories from there, i.e. Joe Libermann losing the primary. And I log on to read the town news about Granby...
5- I like black beans more than pinto beans, but still generally cook pinto beans for meals...
6- Is hair like plants - cut it and it grows back thicker? Only in those places you don't want it to grow I think, like ears and noses...
7- Kimberly Clark made a big announcement a couple of years ago about the introduction of "moist" toilet paper. It was supposed to be test marketed in several areas. Has anyone actually ever seen this stuff or did it fail the test?
8- How big is the reward for turning in tax cheats? It pisses me off that some couples are basically married (living together, raising kids, buying homes, etc) but claim single on the taxes so the woman is able to get the bonus EIC every year...
9- The new restrictions regarding carryon luggage could be a major blow to Apple computer if people aren't allowed to use their iPods. Plus the may be an actual conversation...
10- Once and a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right...
My musical FRT is over here.
So, what are you listening to?

1- my first car was a 1977Pontiac Grand Prix - Balls To The Wall!

2- There was a guy a year ahead of me in H.S whose name was "Kim." I always felt bad for him.

3- Sounds like one of my friends who I forever make fun of. Even today we were talking to another guy & the topic came up about his yeard. He sadi he has no grass, and the third guy said, you have no yeard? No, I said he has NO GRASS!

4-I've been in CA for 8 years now, but still say I am from NY when asked by anyone out of town (like trips to Phoenix, etc.)

5- I always ask for more rice & no beans.

6- Is hair like plants - cut it and it grows back thicker? Only in those places you don't want it to grow I think, like ears and noses...damn right

7- Kimberly Clark made a big announcement a couple of years ago about the introduction of "moist" toilet paper. It was supposed to be test marketed in several areas. Has anyone actually ever seen this stuff or did it fail the test? I forgot all about that, but it sounded gross & no, I have not seen it yet.

8- How big is the reward for turning in tax cheats? Probably more peace of mind, but aren't you supossed to turn the other cheek?

9- The new restrictions regarding carryon luggage could be a major blow to Apple computer if people aren't allowed to use their iPods. Plus the may be an actual conversation...I hate it all, except maybe no cell phones - that would be awesome!!!!

10- Listening to NYC Irish band, Black 47.
