Some Odds and Ends

Today's flow of consciousness whose contents may or may not have any relation to one another, or any other rational ideology, for that matter.

- I went to Wendy's drive-thru for lunch today, since I didn't have time to stop anywhere else. And yes, in light of yesterday's post, I even bought the chili. Happy to report that there were zero fingers. Not even a press-on nail.
Although I did notice, as in the past with this particular location, that the drive-thru people treat you like a leper. They open the window so narrow they can barely fit their arm through it. It's very odd.
I was also thoroughly annoyed when I had 26 cents coming to me as change, and the lady handed me a penny, a nickel and two dimes. What!?! Where the f-ck is my quarter? There's more convenient change in there! I live in a city, I subsist on coin-op laundry, I don't have the patience for 3 coins when just 1 will do the job.

- A little tidbit from this article, saying kids shouldn't smoke pot until after 18 (at least, that's what I got out of it):

Of some 700,000 marijuana arrests in 2002, 88 percent were for possession, it said. And only one of every 18 of those arrests ended in a felony conviction.

"Arresting record numbers of low-level marijuana offenders represents a poor investment in public safety" and diverts resources from "more serious crime problems," said Ryan King, co-author of the report.

If they follow his advice, it should cut down on the rampant paranoia that can really kill your buzz.

- Free lesson: Don't email death threats to corporate executives.

- How much does it suck to be Jason White these days? Former Heisman Trophy winner Jason White. Look for more information in his upcoming autobiography, "How to Throw for 75 TDs in 2 Years, Make the National Championship Game Twice, Win the Heisman, and Not Get Drafted"

- And finally, can we start calling Kevin Brown "Glass Joe"? I think this nickname is perfect. If your mom picked up a NES controller, she could beat Glass Joe. Just like if she picked up a Louisville Slugger, she could knock a gap double against Brown. I hope this will catch on.
