soapbox

Since I haven’t been posting lately.

1) The took the penis away from the snowman at Molly’s.
2) Thank you to Michael and Leslie for getting my lunch for me yesterday.
3) 3 am in the department is actually a pretty good time. I just wish that I didn’t see it four nights in a row.

Don’t use the number on the side of the tire, the right number is either in the glovebox, on the gas flap, or on the side of the passenger door.
5) With reference to #3, plan ahead so you don’t have to work insane hours at the last minute.
6) When you’re observing, make sure your pointing is good.

No matter what he did, he made it sound good.

A longtime community activist, Rawls played a major role in United Negro College Fund telethons in the 1980s that raised more than $200 million. In the ’60s he often visited schools, playgrounds and community centers.

Although he ain’t what he used to be, and I’m primarily a Conan O’Brien fan, sometimes you just gotta love Letterman.
