| Hell yessss, I can do it. Just stand back and see! |

Good morning Boys and Girls.Can't say I'm especially awake right now. I left Des Moines about 4:00 p.m. yesterday afternoon and got home at 2:30 a.m., then forced myself to get up around 7:00 to start on a couple of projects, so I certainly didn't get enough sleep to keep me beautiful, but I'm thinking I can get away with it since I've already accomplished more in the last hour and a half than I'd expected to, (and since I'm already so stunningly handsome that missing a little beauty rest won't hurt me), so I thought I'd take a few minutes to write a post. I listened to a couple of pretty good audio books this last week, both at work and on the trips back and forth to Iowa. A joke in one of them has stayed with me for a few days and provided me more than a few chuckles, as I've thought about various stories I've heard about or read about over the years, and then imagined applying the punch line to the situations... What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies? Watch this! By now, I'm sure most folks around here have heard of the Darwin Awards, but if not, check out the website sometime. It's a humorous site, or at least it is if you're in the right frame of mind; its premise being the documentation of the incredibly dumb things certain people do to get themselves killed, thus eliminating their D.N.A. from the collective human gene pool forever. I went to the Darwin Awards site again a few days ago after hearing this goofy joke and found myself inserting two words of dialog before reading each new story. I simply mentally added, "Watch this!" to the beginning of each synopsis. Hey, I never said I was especially bright myself. I'm just hoping that if I ever manage to get myself offed in some crazy way, it isn't because I'm doing something on a dare, or deliberately showing off - and that the circumstances of my demise are too mundane to justify any mention whatsoever by the Darwin people. Besides, I've already passed on my genes to the extent I ever will, so mentioning me accidentally electrocuting myself (by, say, trying to enjoy a relaxing breakfast in the tub and having the toaster slip off the rim and into the water with me), would be pointless, wouldn't it? Be good to everyone. |

Hell yes. It would be pointless. (you owe us quite a few more pointless posts before you check out, and you can't do that if you have an electrifying finish.

It would be tough to beat out David Carradine for this year's award?
