Convenience

Everything these days is about convenience. You no longer have to go to the video store to get a movie (Netflix, Blockbuster Online, etc.); photos are digital, so you upload them at home and do mail-order for the prints (or print at home); heck, you don't even have to lather soap anymore because it comes out foamy*. What's next, pre-chewed food?



*Yes, I know, part of this is infusing air in order to use less soap...but still. Pre-foamy?

Samantha

This is a picture of my niece...we hope when she can read she doesn't get confused about the adoption thing!




The # 1 Reason There Was No Looting In Texas During Hurricane Rita.

I got this in e-mail...being from Texas, I wouldn't be surprised in the least! In fact, Kyle said to tell everyone the picture looks great...LOL.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Here are the lyrics to two of my favorite songs from the soundtrack of the most recent movie rendering of this Douglas Adams book...

Vote Beeblebrox

Zaphod Beeblebrox
He's the guy you want to vote for
When you get into that Voting Booth
Put an X next to his name

Zaphod Beeblebrox for President
Building bridges between the stars
In no way is he stupid
In no way is his brain impaired
It's just not true, he's smarter than you
And he's better looking too

Zaphod Beeblebrox
Has the longest hair of any candidate
And he's got the coolest shades
And his teeth are white as snow

So let's elect him President
He'll build bridges between the stars
Don't believe the rumours
Don't believe those vicious lies
They're just not true
He's smarter than you
And he's better looking too

(Spoken)
"Listen. I just wanted to say, y'know.
Whatever presidents say y'know.
Things like, er... the name of people and er, freedom
And I dunno. Democracy, stuff like that. Woo! Come on!"

Zaphod Beeblebrox for President
Building bridges between the stars
In no way is he stupid
In no way is his brain impaired
It's just not true, he's smarter than you
And he's better looking too


So Long & Thanks for All the Fish


So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that
grow around you

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

The world's about to be destroyed
There's no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish

(yeah)

So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

(oh dear)

Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your
pregnant women

So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long and thanks
for all the fish
