People Are Pt2…

After today, I guess I should add sheep to the list of answers to the question “People Are”…

I dropped my daughter off at work this afternoon, and was initially taken aback at the traffic at the shopping center, then I saw the lines at the gas station, they occasionally do some big time discount, and I normally ignore it, unless I happen to be there etc… Well it was complete pandemonium lines of cars 15+ deep, because they had gasoline at $2.99 down from $3.35 a gallon. Now I estimate it was probably taking 3 to 5 minutes per car, so if you do the math, you’re looking at close to an hour wait to save about $4.00 based on the average person puts in about 10 gallons when they gas up (Or at least used to)…

Considering that people working fast-food are making $6+ per hour, I am trying to figure out where the savings are… My logic says that if you make $6 per hour, and you wait an hour to save $4 you have lost $2 in income, and and hour of your life that you will never get back…

So now it is past 10 at night, My daughter is home from work, and guess what people are still waiting in line, well there are only 3 or 4 cars in each line…

I just got a live report from a neighbor, and my estimates where about right, he had 3 or 4 cars ahead of him and it took about 10-12 minutes for him to get to the pump. I was giving him a hard time, but he said he needed gas anyways, and he was already there… So I didn’t give him too much of a hard time…

Quit being sheep…

New Name For The Post Merger XM-Sirus Entity

THere has been a lot of speculation on the name of the merged XM-Sirius company, and this is a purely wild ass speculation, but I think the new name will be “Madison”. It seem lately that you cannot tune to a Sirius channel without hearing her. I wonder if it is her way of saving on rent, just living at the Sirius facility, and popping up on channels randomly.

I tune to 101 this morning to listen to the Jay Thomas Show, and what do I hear, Madison, as well as my second guess for a new name, Shuli. Later in the day I switch over to “First Wave” and who’s there (well she’s there everyday at that time) but Madison, too bad I didn’t hear her on Bubba, getting her puss shocked…

So if that is not the name of the new entity, I have a better idea, an audio “Where’s Waldo” called “Where’s Madison”, but thinking about it, it wouldn’t be that hard, because it seems she’s on every freaking channel

Wrong On So Many Levels

Ok, this is just wrong on so many levels, the first being that there is no memory in the device

So Wrong

But it is not as nearly wrong as this…

And to see the wrongness in action

As well as group wrongness

But all is not lost, and the most egregious wrongness is addressed via the
