Random Thoughts

Wouldn’t you expect Ronald McDonald to run McDonaldland? If that’s true, then
exactly what are Mayor McCheese’s duties? And since I’m guessing that Mayor
McCheese was elected at some time in the 1970s when all of the McDonaldland
characters were first introduced, then his term should be LONG over.
So who IS the current Mayor of McDonaldland?
So how about this: I want to be able to call my car from a phone and instruct
it to start; open windows; adjust the temperature, radio and CD. And if I was
inclined, I should be able to call from a cell phone from the beach 5 minutes
before I plan to leave. My car should then start, and crack the windows while
blasting the AC. After about two minutes the windows roll up and get the car
all frosty. Finally the moment that I open my door, my favorite Bob Marley CD
ought to start playing. Now really is that too much to ask? Oh
sure, the whole world is breaking down doors to get “Dual Climate
Control” but no one except me wants this?
And what happened to that idea someone had a few years ago where they put a
button on the TV and an alarm on the remote control? So whenever you lose the
remote, you press the button on the TV and the alarm on the remote goes off.
That idea was pure genius. I thought that by now every TV in America would
have that one.
If I set the timer on my microwave to run backwards, can I open the door and
have it cool the room?
Hey, remember those bumper stickers that said, "What if our schools
received all the money they needed and the Air Force had to have a bake sale
to buy new bombers." Boy you don’t see those anymore do you? You know,
in retrospect... I’m kinda glad that we bought all those bombers instead. How
about this... maybe if we stopped funding "The Arts" we could give THAT
money to the schools. Then, let the artists have a bake sale. Maybe they
could even lure customers in with the baked goods, and sell them some art. It
could be used like a test: If you can’t sell your art at a bake sale, maybe
you shouldn’t be an artist.
“It’s not about getting what you want; it’s about wanting what you’ve got.” I
heard that in a Sheryl Crow song. I don’t know whether or not she wrote it,
but I like it. And since this is my website, I can put whatever I want on it.
And as always, I could be wrong about all this. So feel free to comment in
the guestbook!
