Arkansans

Things I thought while reflecting on my last blog posting:

  • Whatever happened to those fake breasts that were thrown around at my New Year's party?
  • If people from Kansas are called Kansans, are those from Arkansas called Arkansans? Arkanoidians? Archangels?
  • I wish Gideon Defoe's blog was Americanized. It's hard to follow all his British pop culture references. While researching everything is quite informational and enlightening, it wastes time that could be spent cramming XBox 360 playing before Dynamo departs Brooklyn and absconds with it.
  • What was that other thing I thought of while watching the address but then forgot, but wanted to add to yesterday's blog since it was probably funny?
  • I still have to discuss with my sister, and eventually divide ownership of, all the plastic dinosaurs bought from the American Museum of Natural History. Unfortunately, I think the Iguanodon rightfully belongs to her. I'll be sad to see it go, because it's funny to make believe he's the Fonz and taunt the other dinosaurs. "Hey, sit on it T-rex."
  • In light of the fact that no one is stepping forward and volunteering to iron my shirts for me, I need more space-age, futuristical no-wrinkle fabric shirts.
  • I HATE washing my socks, cause then I have to match and fold them all.
  • I think Darks McKnight would be a good alias for me.

Kansans

Things I thought and later remembered while watching the State of the Union address and the Democratic Response:

  • I actually missed the first half of the State of the Union. And by missed, I don't mean in the sentimental sense
  • Is Kathleen Sebelius, the governor of Kansas, really the best person to represent United States Democrats?
  • Man, I'm bored
  • Shouldn't Governor Sebelius have shutdown Kansas' Board of Education after they "intelligently" voted on the theory of creationism?
  • Yawn
  • I had no idea folks from Kansas were called Kansans. I always assumed they were called Kansasistanis, Kansasknights or Kentuckians.
  • Later research has shown me where I can finally get a photo of this dreamboat to hang over my bed. They really should increase the contrast on the black and white image; it looks rather flat
  • John McCain is really scary looking when he smiles, and his teeth are kind of buttery
  • Maybe McCain stole Paul Wall's grill
  • Did John really just say he appreciated George Bush's sincerity?
  • Chocolate chunks, chips, or a fudge swirl really make chocolate ice cream more appealing to me
  • Does anyone notice if you use the same State of the Union address a few years in a row, changing Iraq for Iran? (To "quote" Outkast, "Bombs over....Tehran?")
  • The audience at the State of the Union address was a who's who, with Senators, House of Representatives, Supreme Court Justices, even Bob Dole. It reminded me of the scene in the Muppets Take Manhattan when Kermit married Miss Piggy, and the casts from the Muppets Show, Sesame Street and various other muppet related shows came out to celebrate. Oh look, there's Sweetums, Sam the Eagle, Gonzo and oh my gosh, even Bert and Ernie!!
