080T#1. Consider quitting.

Posted in Oddly enough, Tips/Info on January 23rd, 2008 by PM

This is PM’s first off topic post of 2008. PM is not big on TV. My best summer-autumn was two year’s ago when we went without TV for six months. There were those evening strolls in the neighborhood. Good nighttime reading. Romance. My father-in-law, when he found out we were without a tv offered to buy one: he asked if I was out of work.

So it should come as no surprise that I never heard of Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs, and who Mike Rowe is. I recognize his face, not his name, though I don’t know from where. What will be posted here is his Seven Dirty Habits of Highly Effluent People. Rowe admits ripping off Steven Covey. Rowe seems smart, sounds entertaining, and impresses me when he says he gleaned each habit from a worker he met on the show, each bolstered by true stories of personal enlightenment and lingering humiliation (Rowe).

1. Never follow your passions, but by all means bring it with you.

2. Beware of teamwork.

3. Vomit proudly and whenever necessary.

4. Be careful, but don’t be fooledâ€”safety is never first.

5. Think about what you are doingâ€”never how.

6. Ignore advice such as “Work smart, not hard.” It’s dangerousâ€”
and moronic.

7. Consider quitting.

Three wise monkeys.

Posted in Artworks, Caw to art!, Mammals on January 9th, 2008 by PM

Mark Fredrickson

Mark A. Fredrickson lives in Tucson, Arizona. He attended Tennessee Temple College in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he studied drawing and photography. He continued his education at the University of Arizona. In his senior year, Markâ€™s interest shifted from fine art to a career in commercial illustration. via (Angelos/paintalicious.org) Featured in Caw to Art! #5

The three wise monkeys (Japanese: san’en or sanzaru, or sanbiki no saru, literally “three monkeys”) are a pictorial maxim. Together they embody the proverbial principle to “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”. The three monkeys are Mizaru, covering his eyes, who sees no evil; Kikazaru, covering his ears, who hears no evil; and Iwazaru, covering his mouth, who speaks no evil.

Sometimes there is a fourth monkey depicted with the three others; the last one, Shizaru, symbolizes the principle of “do no evil”. He may be covering his abdomen or crotch, or just crossing his arms. ( wikipedia.org )

Watch for ice.
Posted in Humor on January 3rd, 2008 by PM

I am snug as a bug in a rug working at home today. On the lakefront in Chicago with the sun shining and no wind and the lake keeping the air temp a warm 5 degrees F. The walk to get my vente triple non-fat white moca at Starbuck’s is treacherous.

Andi, thank you for the photo today. Timing is everything.

Poor little birdie.
Posted in Artworks, Birds, Caw to art!, Humor, Just kids, Stories on January 3rd, 2008 by PM

Poetry and art by Meghna, age 12.

Once a little bird
Fell from the air
Lying near my feet
It was a sight of despair

Seeing itâ€™s poor condition
Pity dwelled in my heart
â€œOh dear birdie, donâ€™t worry
For you care, Iâ€™ll impartâ€

I took him gently
In my hands
And carried him over
To my Aunt Mands

Oh sweety, youâ€™ve
Done a great job
Iâ€™m sure your Uncle
Would love it after I mob

Iâ€™m sure heâ€™d say itâ€™s good
You can come after a while
You and Uncle can eat it
After he comes from his walk of a mile!

More about Meghna.

“Ho. Ly. Shit! Is there no limit to what you can sell to anthropomorphizing idiots? Now if this thing is nothing but a fantastic farce, my hat’s off to you; I’m not worthy. But I’m afraidâ€”really afraidâ€”that it’s on the level. Words escape me.”

George Carlin. On aging.
Posted in Humor, Stories, Tips/Info on December 11th, 2007 by PM

This might seem a little off topic but towards the end George mentions “pets” so PM thinks this is right on topic! A dose of year-end wisdom.

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than 10 years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

“How old are you?” “I’m four and a half!” You’re never thirty-six and a half. You’re four and a half, going on five! That’s the key!!

You get into your teens, now they can’t hold you back.

You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

“How old are you?” “I’m gonna be 16!” You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you BECOME 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!! Read the rest of this entry »
