Not gettin' it

A law I could get behind ...

    If we had a law requiring people to actually OWN Harleys before they were allowed to WEAR Harley shirts ... I'm guessin' there wouldn't be nearly as many people wearing Harley shirts.

Not Gettin' It: Car salesmen

Rants, Chapter 437 ...

• Is it just in my hometown, or have TV car salesman become sinister everywhere? Watching their commercials I feel like if I don't buy a car from them, they will PERSONALLY kill me. And what's with the yelling and jumping around on the car lots? AND STOP YELLING AT ME! Not gettin it ...
• Those "Entertainment Tonight" TV anchors. Mary Hart and the guy who looks like a million other bimbos ... do they really have to be so serious when reporting on Brad and Jenn's split? You'd think they were talking about a real disaster. Do people really care that much?
• Hunch: Entertainment TV will be reporting on Donald Trump's wedding longer than he'll be married.
• Is it just in my hometown, or do people become maniacs in their cars when it rains. Why ... can't we drive ... when it's wet? We either get crazy or scared or both.
• Seems there have been an unusually high number of people impaling themselves on the news lately.
• Vote Kinky 2006.

Hello? It's fiction!

Not gettin' it:

• Prince Harry has now officially crossed the line from obnoxious frat boy to offensive bloody idiot with the latest celebrity wardrobe malfunction. The paparazzi may NEVER leave him alone now, which, I suspect, may be just what he wants.
• Brad and Jennifer splitting? And that's front-page news? What would TRULY be news would be when a Hollywood couple stays together. Write a news story about THAT ...
• Tsunami victims on the cover one week ... Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston on the cover the next week. Reason No. 1 why I have NEVER purchased a "People" magazine.
• Two years later, and there has been a multi-million dollar cottage industry birthed because of Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code." Three words: It's fiction, people! It's not meant to change the course of history, and certainly not your personal spiritual beliefs. It's entertainment! People should have enough strength in their faith to enjoy a great read and MOVE ON all the while remembering that everything learned in religious education, Sunday School and listening to the man behind the pulpit or at the altar is what should REALLY stand the test of time.

Get Yer Vasectomies Undone Here!

    "Not Gettin' It" is a blog piece that contains random thoughts. ... Mostly my random thoughts. And so here we go ...

   There is a billboard on Interstate 20 outside of Sweetwater, Texas, (pop.20,000 give or take) that has been there for over a decade. It advertises Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversals. Is there that big a need in Sweetwater, Texas? A need so big that all kinds of money is being paid to advertise unsnipping? I don't get it.

   Here's another thing I don't get: There is an effort afoot to change the constitution so that Austrian born Arnold Schwarzenegger can run for president. Conservatives are constantly railing against violence in the movies and media, etc. Schwarzenegger starred in some of the most violent movies ever made. Yet some people want to change the constitution to elect him. THAT I'm not gettin'.

    Newt Gingrich running for president in '08? I had hoped we'd seen the last of him. PLEASE say it ain't so.
