Ramblings of an American Madman

Ramblings of an American Madman - Just another Day - Yes, today truly was just another day in the life of an ant in the giant anthill of life - dutifully fulfilling the tasks while not straying from the designated stream of co-worker ants as we all mindlessly go about our designated duties - starting to fade on the duty and task thought here - fading, fading... Still, all in all it was a pretty good day - Just another Day!
Creeping up on Halloween this year known as the year before 2010 - a little math there - started the day with a bright white porcelain chalice filled with the nectar of life - or as they would say in the olden days 'cup of coffee' - hell, who am I kidding, I drank half a pot before most people drink a quarter of a pot - that didn't really sound too impressive - I drank a 55 gallon drum of coffee just to get out of bed - so there - what do you think of me now? So harsh people - a guy has feelings you know! Good day at work - nothing notable happening - which could be good - or could be bad - now I am worried, which is it? Good? Bad? Are you following me? If you are please tell the guy in the third row that I like his jacket - sorry, old joke - didn't say it was a good joke, I just said it was an old joke. There you go with the harshness again.
There was no news today - I turned on the news channel and the newscasters took the day off because there was no news to report - what is old news? Wouldn't it just be olds - news is new stuff - olds is old stuff - I should write someone about that.
Big Larry has called me three times to talk about something that is really bothering him - he has seen a news report about an NFL quarterback eating a hot dog on the sideline during a game - evidently as a player they are not suppose to eat on the sideline and this quarterback was reprimanded for sneaking a hot dog while the game was in progress - now Big Larry is all upset and thinks this quarterback has every right in the world to eat a hot dog anytime and anywhere he wants - Big Larry was citing passages out of the US Constitution about hot dog rights, citizenship and freedom of religion - the best day in Big Larry's life (next to the trip to Las Vegas and about a hundred other days) was the day they put the pump cheese next to the roller dogs at the Stage Stop - anyway Big Larry said he is not going to let this go - Big Larry does like a good hot dog.
So, I turned to the man and I said... Bye if not Bye!
