There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Walking out of work a few nights ago, I passed a posted notice about the death of a co-worker, which ended with 'leaving behind his husband of fifteen years.'
I had to stop and re-read it. Yup. A dude. And the spouse was also a dude. In friggin' New Hampshire, the state that wouldn't primary McCain or Bush because they weren't conservative enough.
The world changed again, when I wasn't looking.
It's like I woke up in the future.
Now, where's my darned flying car?

My watch stopped / battery died months ago and I've been too distracted & lazy to change it. I still wear my watch to every business function I attend, even though it hasn't worked.

My watch is exactly fifty-five minutes ahead, and has been for years. I automatically adjust for that in my head. If I corrected it now, I'd never get the time right.

Actor Lad's "Today I..." post reminded me of my friend Richard's wedding.
It was a small wedding and the only guys there for the garter toss were myself, Richard's two brothers, and the bride's brother. I did not try for the garter as you can imagine. The Bride's brother caught the garter. What made that creepy was that the bride's sister caught the bouquet. And they still went ahead with the brother putting the garter on his sister's leg.

My full middle name, which I greatly dislike, appears only on five documents: My birth certificate, my Social Security card, my voter's registration card and my bachelor's and master's diplomas. Even my driver's license only shows my middle initial.

Inuit do not eat seals in heat; they apparently smell like gasoline to them. They feed those seals to their dogs instead.

"What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price Of all a man hath, his house, his wife, his children. Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy, And in the wither’d field where the farmer plows for bread in vain. It is an easy thing to triumph in the summer’s sun And in the vintage and to sing on the wagon loaded with corn. It is an easy thing to talk of prudence to the afflicted, To speak the laws of prudence to the houseless wanderer, To listen to the hungry raven’s cry in wintry season When the red blood is fill’d with wine and with the marrow of lambs.
It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements, To hear the dog howl at the wintry door, the ox in the slaughterhouse moan; To see a god on every wind and a blessing on every blast; To hear sounds of love in the thunder-storm and destroys our enemies’ house; To rejoice in the blight that covers his field, and the sickness that cuts off his children, While our olive and vine sing and laugh round our door, and our children bring fruits and flowers.
Then the groan and the dolour are quite forgotten, and the slave grinding at the mill, And the captive in chains, and the poor in the prison, and the soldier in the field When the shatter’d bone hath laid him groaning among the happier dead. It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity: Thus could I sing and thus rejoice: but it is not so with me."
-- William Blake, The Price of Experience (1797)

During the height of the Batman TV series, Burt Ward recorded several songs under the production guidance of Frank Zappa. Two were released as a single.

Non Sequitor himself would be proud of such randomness!
