Random Thoughts: Family Ties

I got a $10 healthcare refund thanks to Obamacare. Yay. I’ll send it on to Romney/Ryan.

Actually, it was $10.61, but, you know, taxes.

Colorado won’t honor my Florida CCW because I don’t live in Florida? What’s the logic in that? Requirements the same for out-of-stater.

I’ve carried plenty, but so far I’ve never had to actually show my permit to anyone. Probably because people don’t know I have a gun. Since it’s concealed.

My favorite backhanded compliment for someone’s coding is “clever.”

A nasty hack is “clever.” What MacGyver did was “clever.” Production code other people will need to maintain should not be clever.

I like it when software Terms & Conditions makes me scroll to the bottom before I can hit “Accept” because that totally proves I read it.

Not that long ago wife and I watched Twin Peaks on Netflix. First season was awesome, then it got so dumb we didn’t finish it. So mystery solved of how a show goes from number one in first season to being canceled in second.

Been watch Family Ties on Netflix as it’s something we can have on when Buttercup is in the room. It’s like watching a time capsule.

I almost feel bad for the liberal writers of the show knowing in advance what happens with the Mondale candidacy.

We settled on Family Ties, BTW, because the Cosby Show is no longer available on Netflix streaming.

I would return our currency to the “fist standard”. If we can beat up other countries, then they have to accept our money as valuable.

The way Diablo III sporadically locks you out from playing it makes it all the more special when you are allowed to play it.

  1. Colorado should honor your Idaho ccw. I checked to make sure I could carry in every state on my epic trip to New Orleans. I was just a little worried driving through Oklahoma. It’s a different place. At least it looks that way on Jerry Springer and cops

    P.O. (Pre-Obama) we wouldn’t have needed to invade Canada. Now that we are on the losing end of the exchange rate, feel free to roll those Canadian coins when you take them to the bank. They will gladly accept them. So, we got that goin’ for us.

    This is now worth more than a US fiver with its iconic portrait of Lincoln.

  3. I wonder if it drives Michael J Foxx crazy that he thought he was lampooning conservatives, but in reality probably molded a lot of us now in our 30’s into conservatives. Alex P Keaton was my hero when I was 10.

  4. Forget “FamilyTies.” Go with “Leave it to Beaver.” It’s surprising how well that show holds up. Many laughs, and a sweet, touching ending. I turn it off before the end, though, ’cause I’m a guy, you know?

  5. Amen to “clever.” I went to a small college and our computer science staff was three professors. Mister Davis used a quarter of his introductory lecture to rail against “clever.” Probably the most useful 15 minutes of college.
