Random Thoughts: Minimum Wage, Fungus, and Clearing Out Old Stuff

The statute of limitations for having done 9/11 runs out next year and Bush is expected to release a tell-all.

My experience from earning minimum wage as a teenager is that people will pay more than that to keep you if you display basic competency.

Am I the only one not getting the hype on the Dreadnoughtus? I thought we’d found theoretically bigger, brontosaurus-type dinosaurs before?

Can mushrooms go bad? I mean, they’re already fungus. Instead of going bad, they should just get bigger.

Finally gotten wife to start watching Breaking Bad. Have to trudge through short first season which is merely great instead of excellent.

Has any feminist done as much for equality as John Browning?

Found my old Legos. It’s 80’s something spaceman from my space set I got in 80 something.

No licensed Legos back then. Had to make lightsaber from red bar in space set plus chalice in medieval set.

Mom was clearing out storage so going through old stuff. Here’s the receipt for my N64 in case I need to return it.

An early version of the iWatch I owned in grade school.

Bill Clinton certified that I was physically fit.

For some reason I did a wire portrait of Rush Limbaugh in 8th grade.

Boo-yeah. Think all my G.I. Joes are lost, though.

Looking at how many old sketch books I have, I drew a lot as a kid. I was never very good at it, though.

  1. Ha! I’ve still got all my G.I. Joes. And my legos, and my N64, and all my Batman guys. They’re still at my parents’ house though, and my mom keeps trying to throw them away. I keep her at bay by explaining that those toys are a “cultural heritage” for her grandsons. That argument might have more weight if she actually had any grandsons…

  2. My old GI Joe was resting comfortably in the attic until my daughters decided to wash him. Old Joe was held together by string. Please note the use of the past tense. My jungle fighter (kung fu grip maybe?) with a full beard isn’t as articulate, but I think he survived his immersion. The old GI Joe howitzer is probably okay; I doubt if the helicopter is; it was looking a little rough the last time I saw it. Footlocker is okay. I didn’t find my cot; it may not have made a move.
