Bizarre holidays and a personal rant

why do fat guys think it's okay to wear swim trunks and no shirt?
okay... well, see I was minding my own business in jeans and a T-shirt that said, "to iterate is human, to recurse divine." and getting strange looks... when out of no where this young lady in roller blades came by and winked at me. While I stuttered out a response, her boy friend clubbed me over the head, they took everything, including the shirt off my back.... Actually, I always wear a T-shirt, I know you think I am ugly, as do most folks, so I cover up the beached whale.... I am at least trying to loose weight, and so far succeeding. -- modified at 11:07 Friday 13th July, 2007

Good job, keep it up. Glad it is going well for you. I need to start doing some sit-ups myself to get rid of the :beer: gut :-D

Friday: Fool's Paradise Day. I could not find any history about this holiday but I found a site that you can send e-cards for it. Surprised Hallmark hasn't jumped on this. And since when did greeting cards go up to almost $5? When my neighbor graduated I just wrote on a piece of notebook paper, "I still have my graduation cards from 10 years ago. Not sure why. As if someone is going to say, "Hey! Do you still have that card I got you for graduation?" Then I can whip it out like it's some treasured item. So feel free to throw away this piece of paper. Guilt-free. Unless you don't recycle it. Then you should feel guilty." Saturday: National Nude Day! Now, it's one thing to be nude in your own home, but not in public folks. And while we're on it, why do fat guys think it's okay to wear swim trunks and no shirt? At the boat ramp the other day I thought there was an albino whale in the parking lot. Sunday: Natinal Tapioca Pudding Day and Respect Canada Day! I personally am not a fan of any pudding and I have no clue what tapioca tastes like. And what has Canada ever done for the US? One day I would like to go up there with a bunch of US quarters and screw up all YOUR pop machines. Monday: International Juggling Day! My husband can juggle. I just juggle life. Tuesday: National Peach Ice Cream Day! I have never seen that in the freezer. I think this was sponsored by Georgia. Wednesday: National Ice Cream Day and National Caviar Day! Apparently the general ice cream people did not get together with the peach ice cream people. We sure have had a lot of ice cream days. Us lactose intolerant people are sad. And caviar? I won't even go there. Thursday: Flitch Day! No idea. Okay, and a personal rant. Just because the dress code says 'business casual' you should not take advantage of it. 1. Men, if you are going to wear sandals, please pay $20 to get a pedicure. 2. If you have ugly feet, don't wear sandals. I don't care if you painted your toenails and put little stickers of flowers on them. If you have snaggletoes, keep them covered. 3. Don't take your sandals off your stinky feet at your desk. 4. Flip flops are not sandals! 5. Don't wear tank tops or sleeveless dresses ladies if you have the dangling arm fat. 6. Why can't women buy shirts and bras that fit? There is one of the Chatty Cathy's that wears shirts that are too tight and her bra is squeezing so she's got the back fat lumps. 7. Something you buy in the casual section of Sears is not business casual. For example, cotton shirts with embroid

Since folks started paying that much for them. Retailers only charge what folks are willing to pay.

I'd bet the demand for greeting cards is far less elastic than we think. After all, "Sorry, I would have gotten you a card but it was too expensive" usually won't make someone feel too good about themselves and how you think of them. I usually will send an e-card in lieu of a real card.

I've no idea what you're trying to say here. Supply/demand is but one reason retailers raise prices for their products. While it can affect all products, it's usually only seen in a very small percentage of them (e.g., gas, cool toys, movies). What I was referring to is a common practice among manufacturers and retailers alike is to temporarily raise the price of select items to see how the public responds. If the sale of those products goes down, they then know the public is not willing to pay a higher price for them. If the sale of those products remains the same (e.g., gasoline) or goes up, they then know the public is willing to pay a higher price for them. Manufacturers and retailers will never lower the price of an item if they know it can be sold for more.

It tastes exactly like any other pudding, but contains disgusting, slimy lumps to improve the texture. When I was a kid I had my little brother believing the lumps were fish eyes.

If the feet are stinky, leaving the sandals on won't help.

Why do fat ladies think it's okay to wear tight shorts and tops that could serve as medieval seige weapons? If they really want to show off some skin, they should invest in liposuction before selecting a wardrobe.
