Waiting day.

Waiting for the NC and IN primary results. Waiting with trepidation and sadness for a BBC or Reuters news crew to get on the ground in Myanmar and give a clear report of WTF is happening there. I'm not even bothering to monitor CNN or any other "news" outlet in my country. Seeing the equivalent of Anderson Cooper crying is just one Shirley Temple DVD away at any given time.
Waiting. When the other shoe drops, do we all climb in bed?
It's all too heavy. Thankfully, there's baseball tonight in Houston.

And there's always Tommy Boy.

Here's the way i see it, Ted. A guy puts a fancy guarantee on the box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside.

- Yeah, makes a man feel good. -

Of course it does. Why shouldn't it? You figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come down and leave a quarter, am i right, Ted?

-What's your point?

The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy. Well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. Next thing you know there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter is knocked up. I've seen it a hundred times.

-But why do they put a guarantee on the box then?

'Cause they know all they sold you was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it "guaranteed", I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customers' sake, for your daughter's sake you might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

ps - here's some stuff I look at from time to time while I'm waiting.

is the 'n an abbreviation for "in", or "and"?
