Random Thoughts For The Week - 11.1.05
-WTF? I'm all for a chick performing some good nipple tweakage and even some suckling, but I may have to rethink my position. Yeesh.
-Some jobs just suck. I just saw what must be the most miserable occupation in the world. Road Kill Janitor. Something to be said for earning that GED, boys and girls. I'm driving home on I-40 and I see a man dragging a deer carcass, then hoist it into the bed of a Ford Ranger. Already in the bed were what looked like 6 or 7 carcasses from various types of animals. Somebody's gonna be eatin' good tonight...MmmmMmm!
-David Gilmour or Roger Waters? My two favorite Pink Floyd songs are Shine On You Crazy Diamond and Learning To Fly, so I can't decide.
-I had exactly zero trick-or-treaters last night. None. Nada. I now have enough candy to choke a horse. Or Star Jones. One thing is for certain...I'll never have to worry about hypoglycemia ever again. Hyperglycemia, on the other hand....
-Terrence Malick is one of the best writers and directors in Hollywood. He's only done a few pictures, but each one has been an amazing piece of cinema. The Thin Red Line came out around the same time as the other WW2 drama, Saving Private Ryan, but failed to receive the level of acclaim that the Spielberg feature did. Gotta love Hollywood marketing. Anyway, Malick has a new movie coming out on Christmas Day called The New World. Its essentially a new vision of the John Smith and Pocahontas story and the surrounding dynamics between the European settlers and the Native Americans around Jamestown, Virginia. It looks fantastic.

Clearly Roger Waters.. hands down, up, or holding doses.
We had a number of trick or treaters - all they got were two dogs making a racket behind the unopened front door. Plus we had the bonus of the Philly cop chopper hovering over our neighborhood spotlight and all for 30 minutes :)
Paul - Excellent line my friend. On the Halloween front, you should've let the Parker and Henry have at the little buggers.
Hmmm...so far we have the following tallies (with Bees' default selection of Waters, since she likes quitters).
Waters - 2 votes
Gilmour - 1 votes

Not that I'd be lining up to do that, but my mother insures a (family run) company who does that. They are hired by different townships and such to do road kill clean up. It's become a multi-million dollar endevor for this one family.
ACG - Wow. I guess if you actually own the business, its possible to make money at it. That said, I'll continue being stressed in my current job, working with some *ahem* eccentric folks, making a decent living, and not worry about cleaning 'possum innards off my hands every night.
