Just Some Ramblings...

• Marcus Vick has absolutely no brain. A potential future millionaire cannot possibly be dumber than this. I mean this is dumber than Paris Hilton. At least Paris Hilton is already rich. Vick was a sure-thing first round pick. All the talent in the world. He will still get drafted - but he cost himself millions in guaranteed money and a boatload of caveats in his contract. His next move will probably be to hire Drew Rosenhaus and get draft advice from Maurice Claurett. Retard.

• The Giants suck. I, along with tens of thousands showed up hours early for that game, unfortunately they did not show up at all. Out-coached, out-played, out-willed, call it whatever you want - disappointing is what it was.

• Ariel Sharon had another stroke and is in critical condition. How is anyone surprised at this? Look at the man for one second and you should be surprised that he is alive. All of a sudden nature takes it course and pours illness on a overweight, unhealthy heap of cholesterol and people are shocked? If I was the Israeli government, the second this guy won the election, I'd have a complete backup plan in place for when he dropped dead.

• Postage went up again. Is it because more and more people continue to use email and other forms of communication over snail mail and therefore they need more revenue generated to help pay mailmen and other expenses? Why not just fire a bunch of mailmen? Are they afraid that if there is a mass lay-off of mailmen that all hell will break loose? I don't necessarily blame them. I guess I'll pay the extra two cents then. Especially since my mailman looks like a three way cross between Jerry Garcia, Santa Claus and Stephen King. He's got the hippie look, the flowing white beard and big fat tummy, and is whacked out of his freakin mind and scares the crap out of all the neighbors.

• Back orders on gifts are really annoying. I ordered a gift for my little brother for Hanukah which was almost two weeks ago now. In fact, I ordered the gift almost three weeks ago so that it would arrive on Hanukah. I called last week and this morning to find out why I look like an ass for not getting my little brother a gift even though he went out of his way to get gifts for my two kids. It turns out the item I ordered was on back order. That means they didn't have enough of them in stock, but decided to allow people to order it anyway figuring that people who order things late December don't really need it till late January anyway. Chances are they are not buying the item for someone as a holiday gift, so let's just let things get backed up and they will get them 18-20 days later. Sorry for any inconvenience. F.U.

• I have this staple remover at work. It's not like the usual staple remover that you're all used to with the two fangs, you squeeze together and unhitch the back and then lift out the staple from the front. No, no, no... this is a monster staple remover. This thing simply gets stuck under the staple from the top, then u press down quickly and the helpless staple is ripped cleanly from the document. It's not just the efficiency of this simple office supply that is amazing, it's the feeling of power. It requires not too much effort, but just enough to make you feel like if you and your staple remover were left in the forest for days at a time without water or food - you might just be able to make do and survive. It's a special feeling really.
