  1. The Modern Sisyphus: Falling down the "up" escalator... for all eternity!
  2. My oh-so droll article on tweeting and micro-literary criticism is up at the Oregonian. (With a photo? Blech!) http://tinyurl.com/yju6sh7
  3. A Suggestion: Can we alter "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" to "He or she who goes to Vegas stays in Vegas"?
  4. A Dilemma Wrapped in a Quandary: However judiciously I approach this matter, the results are unaltered. Honey + toast = sticky hands.
  5. I wonder if anyone has ever been injured by tripping and falling on a bullet.
  6. *Hi, this is Bart. I'm not home right now; if you'd like to hold, your estimated wait time is ... nine hours.*
  7. What if problem meth users actually got super-gleamy-white teeth? That'd make for an interesting portrait.
  8. My first time in yoga today. Brought a hand towel in lieu of investing in foam mat. Crowded class; dolphin shorts were probably a faux pas.
  9. The credo of a world-weary dog: "Been there, smelled that."
  10. 21st Century Hygiene: 1.) Get up. 2.) Shave. 3.) Shower. 4.) Cull spammers from my "followers" list on Twitter.
  11. An olive is a fruit, huh? Odd.
  12. "The main difference between the Italians and the French is that the Italians wear red pants." Stephane Sibone
  13. über-goober: A person dedicated to the notion that pocket protectors epitomize the good life.
  14. "There can be no general, sweeping pronouncements about these miserable individuals." Robert Baskin, referring to draft-dodgers in 1974.
  15. ALERT! Today is Corduroy Appreciation Day. Because it's, you know, 11|11. (You're welcome.)
  16. "Willie's real rear wheels." I just said that (successfully!) ten times, really fast. (Don't mess with me.)
  17. When I woke up, my foot was asleep. And it still is! Yes, age is just a number. (And to prove it, I'm getting number as time goes on.)
  18. Fun Phrase of the Day: “sitting dead on cheese.” (It's baseball-speak for not swinging at a fastball. I think.)
  19. Bob Feller (Cleveland Indians’ legend) on his writing: “You won’t find a single four-letter word in it. I don’t go for that bulls***.”
  20. In Portland, lots of men have tattoos, but few have navel piercings. (They just don't have the bellies for it.)
