A Little More Time This Week

January 25, 2013

I worked in South and North Carolina this week and got home on Wednesday night rather than late in the week, so maybe this effort will be a little better. Well the effort will be better, we'll have to see about the results.

Thought about this guy...................

............when I saw this guy died. Can you figure out a connection? Neither can I, but there is a joke in there somewhere which deals with Eb saying "DAD" and Conrad Bain saying "I'm not your father" Help complete this thought please.................It's in there somewhere. 

 

Found this at a customer's in Florence SC, yeah go figure, the caption said "when you're in deep shit look straight ahead, act like you know what you're doing, and keep your mouth shut." That must be from the Old Testament. 

Found this picture while looking for something else, I do that a lot; decided to write a song about it. Its called "THIS Is How You Solve a Problem Like Maria"

In other news scientists are investigating how to put digital information into your DNA. If you're still trying to come up with the joke from Green Acres you can rest....for a bit. No kidding, here it is from the New York Times:

Download It to My DNA: Scientists have found a way to store data on fragments of DNA, a technique that eventually may provide a way to handle the overwhelming data of the digital age, reports The Wall Street Journal. In anexperiment published in the journal Nature, scientists used DNA to store an audio clip of Martin Luther King Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” speech, Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets and other data. They later were able to retrieve them with 99.99 percent accuracy. While current data storage methods can degrade or require a constant supply of electricity, DNA is stable and durable and could be used as a storage device for thousands of years. A cup of DNA theoretically could store about 100 million hours of high-definition video.

What do you want in your DNA? I thought a copy of "Video Killed The Radio Star" would be appropriate. No video posted, sorry, you all know what that song sounds like, and you're probably humming it right now, and for the rest of the day. 

I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two 
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you. 
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through.

No no no, you're welcome!

Anyone out there I haven't offended lately? How about the District of Columbia? I read this week where a group of Native Americans sued because they considered the NFL team Washington Redskins an offensive term. Seems as though the owners are considering changing the name to the Maryland Redskins.......................ba boom!

And in other writing good tips:

• Profanity sucks
• One word sentences? Eliminate!
• Analogies are like feathers on a snake

And from 30 Rock:

Q: How are you doing?

A: I'm doing good...........

A2: Batman does good, you're doing well!

Thanks Miss Murk.

Now tell us about the hens and prostitutes.

Still working on the Eb/Conrad Bain joke? Yeah, me too; but everytime I think of Green Acres I think of Mrs. Douglas walking around in next to nothing, and no one ever noticed except Ralph Monroe, and he was a she. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Off to Dallas this weekend, lots to do and I would appreciate a good luck wish.
