STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET LXIX

Papa Johns Pizza is (in my opinion) the best pizza I can buy (here in El Paso). It's even better that I can order pizza online and have it delivered pretty fast. In Des Moines, you can get it for free by letting the Des Moines Fire Department inspect your smoke detectors! I don't know if I like this, the unscrupulous people might use this to try home robberies by saying they're delivering pizzas...

Dumb kids, dumber parents.

You know you're screwed when the jury hears the words "I would have fired more bullets if my pistol hadn't jammed" in front of witnesses. I hate my neighbor playing loud music, but I'd at least pay a hitman to do the deed.

I have a Playstation 2. Well, I have two Playstation 2's and neither of them work (Sony has made one serious piece of shit) but I really like the XBox & Halo 2. It seems Hollywood likes it so much they're gonna make a movie with Peter Jackson producing it.

Holy embers Batman!

s l o w w e e k e n d . . . .

Yesterday just dragged like a Neanderthals knuckles. I finished reading Dan Savage's book, and after that, it just seemed to go so slow. I usually take the first half of the shift and let the second half be my rest time. Even though the pressure of the job (HA!) was off, I still stared at the clock wondering why it was so slow in getting to quitting time.

Its pretty bad when you think you're close to going home, then realizing once you look at the clock that barely a minute has passed since you last looked, and you swear its been a half hour. I am hellaciously tired right now. I wanna go home.

Definitely worth reading...

...but I need more books to read. Here at my second job I have finished reading Skipping Towards Gomorrrah - The Seven Deadly Sins and the Pursuit of Happiness in America by Dan Savage and I have to say that I really enjoyed his romp through the country finding average(?) Americans doing what they please to make the best out of life.

-Oh, and if anyone wants to know, I want to commit:

1. Sloth
2. Anger
3. Greed

Anyone wants to know WTF I am talking about needs to read the book.

I especially want to commit sloth...

PS... anyone know of any good books to read while I whittle away what little free time I have?
PPS... No, Ivette, I am not reading your books for you.

Is my new car harmful to my health?

Sounds funny, doesn't it? Well it did to me until I heard about some of the things that are potentially dangerous for my health for a few months of new car ownership. The culprit? New car scent.

According to a recent study, that pleasurable smell has been linked to harmful chemicals--volatile organic compound or VOC--which releases chemicals from glues, paints, and vinyl. The smell inside the cabin of the car can trigger headaches, sore throats, and drowsiness. Japanese manufacturers have been the first to respond by reducing the chemical levels within government guidelines.

The interesting thing is the EPA doesn't think its much of an issue, there has been no reported cases of poisoning or crap like that, but it makes you think - does that include the new car scent air fresheners at car washes?

There's a reason I wanted to buy a 5 speed...

It caught my eye and made me smile. Chicagoans are all like this would be carjacker...
