I always thought that Minute Maid was a silly name, even for orange juice. I mean, if the maid is only around for a minute, she can't really accomplish much. She could squeeze, what, maybe 2 oranges?

Someone threw a rock at me the other day, but I rolled out of the way.

I was once floating on my back in the ocean when something poked me in the butt (also spooking the bejesus out of me). Turns out it was a dolphin, and there were a bunch of them swimming around. They didn't get very close again, but it was cool to see them.

C is also for cattywumpus, which is simply fun to say.

Sister Edwards was a Catholic nun at my school when I was little, and she was flat-out, no-questions-asked

crazy

I can sing "Somewhere, Over the Rainbow," but very, very poorly.

Last time I was in Minneapolis I wanted to take a picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue (and I did), but there was a crazy/homeless guy actively yelling at her and blaming her for getting him fired from his job as a delivery driver.

I laughed when Bill Sykes lynched himself. Come to think of it, it reminds me of some mafia players.

(Bill Sykes is a character in Oliver Twist)

"The Voice of Bessy" would be a good name for a band...or a horror movie...or, come to think of it, a children's book.

Slingshots are great for launching G.I. Joe over the house and into the pool...until his parachute deploys early and he gets stuck up on the roof.

If I were King of the World, I think that the first thing I would do would be to invent some goofy gesture of formal address. Like, instead of bowing or curtseying or whatever, like one would do before royalty now, I would make people learn a few tap-dance moves, or slap themselves in the head really hard, or something like that.

Wouldn’t that be hilarious? Every time someone would address the King, or every time He walked into a room, all the people would jump up and down, or do the Watusi, or pinch themselves on the butt, or something. Man, you better hope I never get to be King of the World.

Though, on a more serious note, I think that my second official act would be to revoke James Cameron’s Oscar...so, you know...silver linings, and all that.

Spargelsuppe (German for "asparagus soup") is a really fun word to say, even if you don't like asparagus soup.

But you should at least try it. It's good!
