The fancy "daylight" or "natural white" lightbulbs are awesome. Or at least different enough that, once you see someone else switch to usingthem, you feel like you have to replace your lights with them too because they are so superior. You would not think they would be capable of creating the same sort of "holy crap everything looks really different" reaction as, say, a blacklight would, but you would be wrong.

An adjustable 20-pound pair of ankle weights (for extra walking exercise) really seems worth the extra $7 as compared to a 5-pound pair. Even if you never actually put more than 2.5 pounds each in them. I mean, you may not ever use those extra 15 pounds, but you're paying less than 50 cents a pound for them! You know, just in case you might one day want to go for a walk while simultaneously crippling yourself.

If you are waiting on a response to a private message on a forum where you are a moderator or an admin, Murphy's law states that this is the exact time the troublemakers will start tattling on each other to you, mocking you continuously with "New Private Message" emails throughout the day.

How about these:

Apparently sex w/ a minor is legal if you ask your lawyer first (Although it may brand you "as a loser").

Cat soccer is not a sport, but a form of art.

If you ask Dylan the samw question enough times, you will get him to give you the response to are looking for eventually.

Oh... and the ability to edit your posts is a luxury, not a requirement... :)

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I suddenly have a new favorite sport.

More observations

When burning CDs, dragging the ISO into Nero does not burn the actual image of the CD.

It is useful to discover this before you burn the five Fedora CDs rather than after.

Even more observations

No matter how many times you tell her a joke, if you wait long enough, any joke will seem new to Jen.

Have you ever tried to go number two before going number one? Don't.

Why does Cobalt gum have an image of a blue sperm on the box? And why does Jen get mad at me when I point this fact out to her?

No matter how much you love/hate your job, there's nothing worse than having to go to work when you already have another job.

A hard rain's a-gonna fall

You never realize just how heavy those ankle weights are until you're in the exact middle of a walking trail and it starts to rain. Hard.

I bought a Daytona Beach t-shirt on vacation this year. The tag says it's a "muscle fit" shirt. The tag also says it's an XXL. Whoever came up with that name has obviously never seen a person who wears an XXL shirt before.

Incidentally, I like the shirt, but can't wear it, because every time I see myself in the mirror I realize it makes me look like a tool.
