March Sweetness!!!

Ok, I was going to post on some serious topics. The farce of Global Warming (yeah, it's a farce and I will post on it at some point), Barrack Hussein Obama's spiritual mentor being a racist hate monger http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/Obama_Church_Racism/2008/01/07/62285.html John McCain being 40% of the candidate I'd vote for (still leading by the way...sigh), the government aided/caused financial crisis are all topics I thought of perusing. As it is, a more lighthearted topic arose.
With the brackets for the NCAA tournament being revealed today and Pitt being predicted to win it all by Bobby Knight (read: "Hey Indiana, I used to be your coach, hire Jamie Dixon" out of that prediction) I had a fun, senseless, idea. Why not have the ultimate bracket of sweet things. No, not like Swedish fish dipped in corn syrup and rolled in pixie stix sweet, but sweet as in, "Dude, that is so sweeeeeet."
For example, it is so sweet when you hit a golf ball (or softball) so hard and perfect that you barely even feel it and it just flies. Another would be sleeping in on a chillyrainy day with the windows open while under many covers. A third would be when you think you really have to poop but when you sit on the toilet you let out a high near whistle "toot" that last for 10 glorious seconds.
So, I will compile a list of the first 65 things people suggest as the sweetest things. I will then reveal them and we will go over and eliminate them until we have the sweetest thing ever.
Here are the rules.
1. No entries related to God/Faith/Ministry. This would be unfair and make the rest of the entries trivial when the point is that they are all somewhat trivial.
2. Nothing x rated...'nuff said.
3. Nothing mean spirited. I deem what is mean (and I know mean).
4. All entries must be submitted before Wednesday at 11:59 p.m.
5. The top 65 will be revealed on Thursday.

Ok, here we go. I will take entries in person but will give special consideration to any entered through a comment to this page. By the way, the examples mentioned are already in the tourney.

ps-please do not wager on whether or not I will actually follow through on this.

HONK!!!

How many of you, you being people who drive with a modicum of responsibility, have had multiple people honk at you when you are driving? Further, how many of you have actually had people yell out the window at you?

Both have happened to me but I think that I have cornered the market on female yellers. Once I was going the wrong way, knew it, and was going 5 miles an hour on a 3o ft. wide road, (the entrance/exit to Linton Jr. High just after they switched directions). I stayed way to the right and crept up the ramp. A lady came flying around the corner and screamed out her window (20 ft. away from me) "You son of a %itch!!!". I had to stop the car I was laughing so much. This was the only time I could have been considered in the wrong at all.

I have had females yell out the window at me no less than 5 times. I am committing right here on this blog to follow the next one (at a safe distance) no matter long it takes, and eventually asking them, "What's wrong? Are you ok? Why are you so angry? Can I pray for you? Who pooped in your Cheerios? Did you vote for John Kerry?"

Now, I put this in the same category as the, "I'm going to write a letter of complaint!" which never happens. We all know I won't but it's nice to dream. What scares me is that a guy who rolled through a stop sign honked at me the other day. I knew he would so I turned and acted surprised while yelling "Heyyyyyyyyyy" and waved out the window as if we were long lost friends. He must be gruff with his friends as he gave me the finger. Have I branched out to irrational male hate as well? What could the spring hold for me as windows come down again?

Pouring money down the drain...

Why do you suppose it is, that in this "green" world we live in, that there is no method to save all of the water that you waste while waiting for it to become hot? Now, don't get me wrong. I care about the environment but am far, far, far from being "green" or even caring (please stop back for my "Global Warming is a Crock of Endangered Polar Bear Crap" post). My complaint is monetary. You see, we here in Penn Hills used to save money on waste management by not managing it and pumping said waste directly into the river. Well, the EPA rightfully found that to be egregious and fined us 1 billion dollars (or something like that, may as well have been). For the past ten years rather than paying for it like we thought we were, we were just paying the interest. So, next year, our water costs $8.00 gallon (or something like that, I may be exaggerating by several 100%). This leaves me wishing that I had a way of not pouring money down the drain, waiting for it to get hot. And yet, none exists.
