Two Items This Morning
1. For a change, I watched a bit of TV this morning before leaving for work and caught this story:
A 72 year old man beat the ever-loving-sh-- out of a mugger who attempted to steal his wallet.
You ever have this kind of day? You know, you go through your usual morning routine before heading off to your job as a small-time pick-pocketer. Have your coffe, maybe a bowl of lucky charms and then out to the convenience store to target helpless senior citizens. But today is just different. For whatever reason, and you can't place it, but it feels different. Like maybe today you are going to get that rare really rich senior citizen who does his own shopping, and is cheap enough to go to the convenience store. You figure, hey, he is rich, he will part easily with whatever is in his pocket, and chances are it could be a lot.
You get to the store and there he is. He has the look. Confident, smart, but still old. This one has to be over 70 easily. You figure he won't even notice as you slide your hand into his pocket. But all of a sudden things go drastically wrong. He grabs your hand while it's in his pocket and before you even realize what is happening he drops a good 6 punches down on your face. Before you even have a chance to react he's landed another dozen blows to the back of your head.
That's right - you just picked out a 72 year old former marine and former Golden Gloves boxer. What a day.

2. The "Bat Mobile"
So I am on my drive to work today and notice this car in front of me:
My first thought is," wow, what a loser."
Then I drove up alongside the car and realized there were two black guys in the front.
My second thought was, "The Bat Mobile... cool!"
Is that weird?

Several reasons why it's lame:
1. It's a PT Cruiser.
2. Aside from the fact that it's BatMobile and not BatCar, they couldn't even get BatCar as the license plate, they had to stick a 1 in front. Which means the joke's already old. And they suck at it.
3.If you're going to do that to your car, maybe go a little further than an old yellow bat signal? You've got to commit, otherwise you're just lame.
4. Is that car blue? The BatMobile isn't blue.
