How often can you say that you just experienced the pinnacle of anything? Most of the time you probably don’t even know that you just did something, and in that category nothing for the rest of your life will ever compare. That happened to me yesterday. I had a ham sandwich, and I can say with 99.97% certainty that I will never have a ham sandwich that compares to that one.
One of the benefits of having an extended family is that often times there will be multiple holiday celebrations. This works out especially well on Christmas, but other holidays have their perks as well. For instance, this year Thanksgiving was pretty sweet. In past years, I had only participated in one Thanksgiving, because it’s hard to get family together in different parts of the state on different days, but this year was different. And, this year involved alcohol.
Acronyms are an incredibly fun way to take seemingly innocuous letters and change them into something completely sinister. I love to be confronted with unknown acronyms, I will spend all day guessing what they mean, it’s kind of like playing Mad Libs, the random stuff that I can come up with is pretty entertaining. For instance NCES, I know that it has something to do with education, so that locks down the ‘E’, ‘N’ is usually National, so now I only have two letters left, I may go with something along the lines of National Communist Education Society, or National Committee to Educate Socialites. I really could go on and on, but I won’t (NCES actually stands for the National Center for Education Statistics).
What is even more fun, but far more difficult to do effectively, is to acronomyze phrases. In this case, THB.
Many people have the common misconception that Virginia is a southern state. While it is true that it is below the Mason-Dixon line, and therefore techincally a southern state, it is not really that south. Granted, parts of Virginia are, in fact, I would go so far as to say most of the state is southern. There are, however, two exceptions, Northern Virginia and Virginia Beach. Is it a coincedence that these are the only two places in Virginia that I’ve lived? No, I don’t think so, and here’s why.

I’m not quite sure what to make of this picture. I think it pretty much epitomizes the state of the human race. People are too lazy and too stupid to do anything. I mean, this sign was printed on normal printer paper, but instead of getting a new sheet, they just crossed out the number and wrote in the new one. Apparently, Cal moved and got a new phone number, and he wanted you to know with whom you would be speaking when you called.
I’m kind of torn on whether or not I should call. On the one hand, he’s obviously an idiot and can be easily tricked into giving me a good deal. On the other hand, he is obviously very frugal if he can’t even afford to use a new sheet of plain white paper. The fact that he is holding up the sign with duct tape also shows that he is very resourceful. Personally, I think that this is too much work to be worthwhile, I’ll just look for the next incredibly sweet looking car that I see on the road.
I have a rather disparaging problem regarding my facial hygiene. For over the past year, I have had some facial hair, and I have kept it relatively neat with this great little invention called a beard trimmer thingy. It’s great, you just turn a little knob and it cuts your hair however long you want it to be.
Irony – you can’t spell it without the “o”, with is also in “month”, which is about how long I have been working at AIR, which you can’t spell without the “r” in irony. Really, it’s just a big perverse circle of letters being used in one word, only to be abandoned for another word with little or no remorse. I’m just glad that I’m not a letter.
I’ve had a few people ask for the original, well you can see it here: [ youtube.com ]

I’ve worked with some overweight people in my time, I don’t have any problems with them, they do their work, I do my work, we talk, it’s fine, no problems at all. No problems until the other day that is.
