I'm shaking my head
I really can't describe what I felt inside when I read the e-mail. Dismay? Disappointment? Anger? So many things at the same time, really.
Either way, I thought it was worth sharing. Below is the text of an e-mail -- mostly unedited -- from a state resident. The only changes I've made is omitting the writer's name and deleting the actual location in an effort to preserve some of this dimwit's dignity.
Just for clarification, the "silly wrap around" is a roundabout.
Read on, cheerful reader...
You are going to have to do something about the dumb drivers that use that silly wrap around at the intersection at [STATE ROAD] and [ANOTHER STATE ROAD]. They just don't know how to use them. We was on the way to [A METROPOLITAN AREA IN MICHIGAN], and we had a car that stop before we got the intersection and they sat there and let four car from the east which was all going straight West, and by the time they got on there way there was 7 cars sitting waiting to go, we were all going South bound.
We see this happening all the time. You should of made it two lanes or just go put up a traffic lights. Some one will be killed there , just wait and see. Sent a car or two and have them video the intersection for a week. You will not like what you see. We even saw a driver cut off a semi and the driver of the semi had to jam on is brake and just miss the car that cut him off, so we stop to let the trucker get through.
But the intersection is nothing but headaches.
Random Notes Megapost!
Ok, ok, so this post isn't that "mega", but as it has been a while since my last post I have a handful of items to mention. So, onto the content...
First, the bad. I have generally been trying to avoid thinking about the BP-oil-spill-in-the-gulf situation. I know it's bad, really bad, but I have too much in my personal life going on to devote much concern to this. And besides, what good would my concern do? My friend sent me this and it made me laugh and cry a bit. It just proves that no matter how many resources we throw at the situation, nothing can surpass a bit of relevant knowledge and understanding. Warning, this article uses many an expletive, but makes good points despite. Oh, and a preface: booming is a technique for gathering oil that is drifting ashore. Now fearless readers, here you go: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/5/11/865387/-Fishgrease:-DKos-Booming-School
After reading that, I need something to lift the spirits. To that end I present you with a bear that practices Kung Fu... hang it there, the toss is worth waiting for.
And I know I emailed this to a few people, but I had to post it too. While the band and the music are not that interesting, the drummer alone is well worth the time to watch. Enjoy, the most awesomely enthusiastic drumming of all time!
And with that I am out... until next time, dear readers.
Friday Fun: Flight of the Conchords!
I miss Flight of the Conchords, I wish their show was still on. Thank goodness their legacy lives on via the internets! And now for Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros...
Who Is This Guy?!
So this week I have run across these two images that I am convinced are of the same man, on two completely different websites. I am left wondering, who is this guy? Do other people recognize him? Have I just somehow missed out on this general knowledge? I am sort of dying to find out, so if you know, chime in in the comments section and fill me in.
ESPN look out
If you've ever heard me say, "he passes it to the man," or "boom, goes the dynamite," you now can learn the origins of these seemingly out-of-context phrases.
This has to be one of the most painful sportscasters to watch in history.
