It's finally getting warmer here.

The wife: It drips a lot of oil, doesn't it?

Capt R: All diesels do that.

Martin Short: All diesels do that, honey.

Capt R: Diesels love oil like a sailor loves rum.

Martin Short: Yes! Why is that, Captain Ron?

Capt R: Nobody knows.

boring, work-related question...

does anybody know of any focus group facilities in oklahoma city?

doesn't matter if you've used them or not. i've got nothing...

Look at this happy chap!

Enlighten me.

Maybe I'm just old, or maybe I'm just distracted by all of the new vocabulary words with the root "twitter," but I seriously don't understand the appeal of this. For me it seems like wasted time that I could've actually just called, IMed, or texted a friend to tell them about an atrociously awesome quote from ANTM. And if you don't know what that even means, then why would you want to be notified of it when I actually did twitter it?

At first I thought I was just missing something, but Kate assured me that I wasn't alone in this confusion.

It has 100,000 participants, which I realize isn't a lot in the grand scheme, but it's still enough that it's weird.

Seriously? Luggage tag day?

Went to a Mets game this Saturday. Super day. Sun was out, Mets won!

But you know how you go to games and sometimes they have free t-shirt day, or bat day, or hat day or something, when everybody gets something free.

Well, Saturday was free luggage tag day. I'm serious. Luggage tag day... what a crock!

The good times as they once were, the good times as they will be again
