…it seems perfectly reasonable to call a cab to drive you three blocks.

I received an email apology for confusion resulting from a “type.”

mind your p-trap

If you have a shower (or anything that drains to the sewer) that you
don’t use on a regular basis the “P-trap” will dry up, allowing
fumes that smell like gas to come up through the pipes and potentially
cause one to think that there is some sort of leak and the house is in
imminent danger of exploding.

The good news:
It’s easily and affordably fixed – pour water down the drain.

In an effort to stave off cabin fever and the occasional thought straight from The Shining, I looked for a new recipe to distract myself. This is what I found: chocolate covered carmalized matzoh crunch. Here’s the recipe that was my base, http://www.davidlebovitz.com/archives/2008/01/chocolatecovere.html.

Changes I made:

saltines for matzoh

sprinkled part w/ heath bits, part w/ roasted cocoa nibs, left part plain. I can’t pick a favorite. Perhaps I should conduct another test right now.

car crash = bad data?

I was just informed by Craig that he almost hit my car in parking lot. The funniest part of his “confession” is that he said he’d rather tell me that he had crashed into my car than he had sent out a report with bad data.

I don’t know what to make of that.

move over, nyquil

the rusty nail: a truly magical elixir with special healing properties.

on the sweet side:

1 part scotch
1 part drambuie
pour over crushed ice
serve w/ a lemon twist (anti-scurvy!)

sit back, enjoy and feel the magic

As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary:

ji-had (jĭ-häd’)

Islam An individual’s striving for spiritual self-perfection.
Islam A Muslim holy war or spiritual struggle against infidels.
A crusade or struggle: “The war against smoking is turning into a jihad against people who smoke” (Fortune).

Variation as defined by Susan Hill:

bee-had (bee-häd’)

1. a swarming of bees that is a result of an infidel unknowingly disturbing the hive while weeding her yard. The bees launched a full-on bee-had against Susan, resulting in her frantically waving her arms and swatting at her head, and eventually turning the garden hose on herself in an attempt to end the bee-had.

overheard

some coworkers were discussing facebook and youtube, which led to spring break and all the documented antics that are available for the whole world to view. cg said that he hopes “Number Two” is another boy – the thought of having a daughter scares him to death. keep in mind that cg is surrounded by women so he was immediately attacked for being a boy, for being “That Guy” who loved girls who were exactly what he hopes any future daughter does not become. sp asked why he wasn’t worried about his son showing his stuff on spring break. his response: “i don’t think people are searching the web for that kind of spring break junk.”
