Mark P Knowles :: Don't Panic !

Good to see a Brit in with a chance of winning the Tour De France, but - damn - that makes for a boring race. Watched the finish in Foix on Sunday, and the whole thing was a total anti-climax, with Sky dominating the race.

Oh well - got an interesting shot of Nibali chasing the Sky train through Foix.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.

9. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my collection…again.

13. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Dang it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

21. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on when I first saw it.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear or understand a word they said?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

29. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.

31. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

Want to buy the Unabomber's knife? Now is your chance.

Dear me. The Government Inc is obviously in need of a few more dollars. According to the auction house concerned, (Governmentauctions.org) The Unabomber's personal items will go up for online auction on June 2nd. This is their press release:

For almost 20 years, Ted Kaczynski aka The Unabomber, terrorized America with his home made letter bombs. Luckily, in 1996, he was caught in a cabin in the woods. Now, almost 15 years later, his personal items will be up for online auction. Coming soon, to an online auction you would be able to bid on items once owned by this nefarious individual. You could snag lots of every day items and a few more that would no doubt raise the interest of collectors or those fans of the more morbid side of auctions. You could find tools, knives, saw blades, hatchets, files, saws, hunting knives, masks, arrows, magnets, axes, and more. You could even get your hands on some clothing that was in his possession such as gloves, coats, scarves, shoes, sweaters, jackets, duffel bags, hoodies, mittens, and boots. His personal effects include typewriters, watches, yearbooks, checks, travel kit, home made calendar, and a ton of books that range from language, to history, to some classics. There are a ton of items up for grabs and the auction will take place this week,.

Go for it guys. Last chance to live a vicarious terrorist's lifestyle.
