The Day of the Bonus Trousers

Have you ever discovered something that you didn't even know you'd purchased? When digging for a pair of pants today before work, I realized that I'd purchased a pair of black Dockers for myself. When? No clue, but they fit just fine, and that brings the number of work trousers I currently own to five. Excellent!

When cruising Facebook this morning, I saw an advert for a great online shop: military-themed motivational posters. The fake motivational posters are sweeping the Internet(s) at the moment, but these are something special. I'm strongly considering purchasing this poster... In fact, I think I'll add it to the Stuff Fly Wants list. Just out of curiosity, for those who have seen the recent surge of comedic motivational posters, which one's your favorite?

I received my "economic stimulus" check in the mail this week - which is to say, my stupid government boondoggle payment. However, unlike the legions of imbeciles who spent theirs on crap at Wal Mart, shoved it into their mattresses, or took out new loans that they couldn't afford, your most excellent host is going to invest his. Why am I blathering on about this? Simple: thus far, I've received two notices that I was getting my boondoggle payment, and then the payment itself. This, my friends, is what is fundamentally wrong with letting government handle anything. I guarantee you that the multiple mailings put us even further into national debt than the bounced boondoggle checks would have on their own. It's stupid nonsense like this that has gotten Congress a single digit approval rating for the first time in history. Hey hippies, still think that the Democrats are going to pick up a ton of seats in Congress in November? If I were you, I wouldn't bet your boondoggle check on that.

I've mentioned environmental stories several times this week, and here's another one: the oceans are clearing greenhouse gases faster than expected! Damn that global warming!

Alright, a certain Super Fly needs to get moving. Have a great day, and remember: if having an unhealthy obsession with cleanliness is wrong, then Mighty Mo doesn't want to be right.
