Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Cool story of how Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson returned (briefly) to cartooning... In Ronald Reagan's first term there was only one PC in the White House - and it was used as a word processor. My how times have changed!... If I were to get a tattoo - it would be this one... Aciphex is a heartburn product whose name is pronounced "ass-effects" and whose possible side effects include gas and constipation. Ass-effects indeed! I just find that funny...  Cool - D-Day landing scenes - then and now... True story - Bill Lear founder of the Lear Jet Corporation named his daughter Shanda. Yup Shanda Lear... The shortest possible game of Monopoly - 21 seconds... The Lubritorium would be a good name for a bar... Heh heh - Missing Cat... Peter Jackson started off good but then he just went too far...

Helen Thomas never learned to stop hating Jews... I wonder if Bill Hall will get to pitch for the Red Sox in this series against the Indians?...
