Head Scratchin'
Okay. So, I'm driving to Flora (when you live a very small town you gotta drive to a slightly less small town if you wanna get the ingrediants to fix Chilequillas), and just like always, I pass by this billboard for Rally's. And just like always, I think the same thought, "Why the crap is there a Rally's billboard here?" Don't get me wrong, Rally's makes a pretty good hamburger, and I do understand the power of advertising. The problem is this: the closest Rally's that I know of is a 2 HOUR drive away in Evansville, IN. Now, I travel to the Hoosier state quite alot, cause two hours to E-ville is still faster than 2 and a half to St. Louis. But, when I'm in Evansville, I'd rather eat at someplace decent. I sure as crap ain't gonna drive two hours and eat at a Rally's. Why the Hell is that stupid ass billboard there? What marketing genius thought that a buncha podunks in a podunk town wanna drive 2 frickin hours to a damn Rally's?
So, I'm driving and contemplating, and I get stuck behind a truck goin about 40 mph. As usual, I throw out some four letter words, and that's when I noticed another momument to stupidity. The truck in front of me was CAMOFLAUGE.
Why the hell would anyone paint their truck camo? I don't care how invisible your damn truck is, the animals are still gonna hear you comin three miles away! Not to mention the smell. And if you camo'd up your truck and left it in the woods, wouldn't that just make it really hard to find it later? It'd be like Wonder Woman's Invisible Plane, y'know?
So, to reassert my faith that humanity is a race of luminous beings, and not just a buncha slightly smarter than average apes, here are some things that rock: Art, Heavy Metal Music, Aretha Franklin, Cowboy Bebop, Akira, Shonen Jump in general and One Piece in specific, the Silver Surfer, Paul Pope comics, Love and Rockets, the Hellraiser movies, those Tortured Souls action figures, and, of course, Mexican Food.
Whew. I feel better. How bout you?

Forgot to tell you I picked up Shonen Jump, as I can get it ridiculously cheap as a Barned & Noble employee now. Still cheaper to get a subscription, but that takes away the fun of the hunt. But I digress.
I too am a big fan of One Piece. Liked the Go story, too, as well as Naruto. Dug Shaman King a bit, didn't dislike it at least. In fact, the only manga I didn't like was the one with Underworld detective. Course, I suck at names.
at least someone else is as perplexed as I when it comes to that frigging rally's sign... somebody paid a lot of money for that billboard for very little payoff... and hell if im driving to st louis or evensville for rally's... stupid people... I have seen too many vehicles painted camoflauge and there's always been a deep concern of mine that if wonder woman got drunk one night, could she find her plane the next day?... hmmm... the things we ponder in the early morning hours...
