When are people going to quit saying they're FILMING something with their cell phone? What type of film does a cell phone use? Is it expensive? Where do they get it developed?

No worse than the fact that we still tell people to "dial 555-1212".  When's the last time you even SAW a working telephone that had a dial on it?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

It's happening again, this year.

I keep seeing the acronym "SOTU" in the news and I keep accidentally reading it as "STFU".

STFU is what people say when they're watching the SOTU.

Shurely, POTUS?
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

Sorry to inform you but this indicates a strong work ethic. In many circles it is thought to be a genetic predisposition. You just can't help yourself.

Good luck.

What’s that really cold weather feeling like? At least being at work you can save a bit on the thermostat at home . . .

If we get more than an inch of snow here, it's a snow day and people are glued to the weather news. But it has been a mild winter so no easy "storm of the century" ratings drivers for the local weather reporters. Stay warm and safe.

Get through tonight (predicted low of -30°), then it's scheduled to start warming up.  Come Saturday we're supposed to get to almost 40° ABOVE zero ... a 70° difference.

Winter in Wisconsin.  Go figure!

How do you get an ear worm for a song you haven't heard in years?

A few days ago, for no apparent reason, the silly 60s novelty song Guitarzan popped into my head, and I can't get it out... :?

(Well I can, but it keeps coming back...)
