Smoke and Mirrors

Thursday, Apr. 14, 2005|1:14 a.m.

In an effort to cover up the fact that I have nothing to say, I am going to post a couple of links and pretend this really is an entry. Humor me and play along...

Let's start here... Vt. Teen Accused of Stealing Corpse's Head

The last line of the story really just takes things to a whole new level of disgusting/crazy. "Authorities are not sure of the motive of the crime. Court documents said the suspect allegedly talked of using the man's head as a bong or a pipe for smoking marijuana."

When I read that line, I couldn't help but think of Fast Times at Ridgemont High scene when Jeff Spicoli hits his head with a shoe and says, "That was my skull! I'm so wasted!"

Note: I realize that isn't a joke. I wasn't kidding at the beginning of the entry - this is all smoke and mirrors.

Andy, since you are writing your own child rearing book, I thought you would find this article interesting: Unattractive Kids Get Less Attention, Research Finds

According to the article, ugly kids get less attention. If you, like me, were ever considered one of the ugly kids in grade school, I am sure you were stunned to hear this.

In keeping with the theme of quoting people from my favorite movies from when I was a kid, I give you Mr. Rodney Dangerfield's thoughts on being ugly...

- I was so ugly my mother used to feed me with a sling shot.
- When I was a kid my parents moved a lot, but I always found them.
- My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.
- My mother never breast fed me, she told me she only liked me as a friend.
- My mother had morning sickness after I was born.
- On Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.
- I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
- I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
- One year they asked me to be poster boy - for birth control.
- A girl phoned me the other day and said... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.
- I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.
- I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
