What made you smile today?

How was this experiment reproduced? Was it intentional or accidental?

Curious minds need to know!!

Hopefully, you didn't try to nuke the can of baked beans in a microwave for lunch/dinner?

Not to mention Mafia Wars -- that one is getting a little intense for my taste so I might drop out. I'm actually happy playing the city building games like Emperor (China) and Cleopatra over again to see if I can better my score (of course, you know what's coming the second time around!)

Cleaned out pantry of expired goods days back. Yesterday I started raking and burning all the leaves. Multi tasking outdoors while leave piles were burning,.....walked by garage garbage can and saw the expired in o four can of beans sitting on top,...hmmm,..thought to myself,...I bet they put enough chemicals in this bean can,..that they probably are still good,.....so,...tossed on leave ashes,...walked away,..knowing it needed venting,..but thought, I had plenty of time. Sounded like a cannon went off.

Getting the keys to my new home tomorrow and moving away from here!!

Super! Congratulations.

Pulled the sleeping bag up over me last night. It smelled of wonderful fresh lying-on-the-dock air. Thinking of the weekend with the joeblows made me smile and smile.

There is 5 lane road outside of my window. A busy road, even on a Saturday. A large white dog was walking down the sidewalk, unaccompanied by a human.
A car stopped and a lady got out. She began calling and ran to catch up with the dog while the driver tried to get ahead of it. The dog started trotting.
3 cars stopped near the dog and hazard lights were turned on. Doors were opened and the dog hopped into one of them. Traffic backed up a bit
The dog ended up on a leash and its owner and the driver of the capturing car, strangers, shared a big hug.

Good show, Alex! That's how you know the beans are done, and you saved the trouble of punching a hole in the top, and covering with tape.

Makes sense to me, Roger.

Another nice story from rjb, but you did miss our meet in Philly yesterday.

A terrific day out on the harbour yesterday

Perhaps rjb is learning to be sensible ci.

I was sorry, Spendius, to miss re-meeting Cicerone and Thomas and to meet for the 1st time CI's wife and Farmerman. I had made the reservations but had to cancel (See my thread "Don't Drink the Toilet Water" for details).

I'd love to meet those guys. But anyway, what made me smile today was a guy telling me and a bunch of fellowe old timers at our monthly breakfast that he was suffering from "erectile dysfunction". When we sympathized with him he corrected us saying that his problem was "too many erections at inappropriate times."
We all exchanged accounts of our early teens when we couldn't get up to go to the blackboard because of erections or when we had to pass our stop because we couldn't stand up to get off the bus.

Allen, one of my employees, is an actor. He majored in theater.
(I was an actor for awhile but there aren't too many roles now for old, skinny guys who have to be asleep by 10 pm).
Allen is in "Mafia On Prozac" which is pretty witty. He plays the guy in the burlap sack, if you know the play.
They have carved out a performance space beneath a theater that does musicals and Shakespeare. They hope to do edgier stuff.
There is no ticket price to attend. Rather, it is pay what you want. Last night they seated about 20% more than the fire code permits and turned away a lot of folks until next weekend.
They emptied the bucket at the end of the night. $12 per butt, helped out by one wadded up $100 bill.

I do not believe for a moment you have any understanding of that word "sensible."

heard a rumor that The Who are doing halftime at the superbowl...

Wife's smiles made me smile.

This was a few days ago, but sozlet's friend Kay bringing me a flower and then launching into a breathless monologue of thanks that included thanking me for "everything" and also for producing sozlet.

How do you titillate an ocelot?

You oscillate its tit a lot.
