I’ve gotten over 370 comments marked as spam. Whoa, whoa. Marked As Spam: A Possible Spin-off Blog of Mark As Read, Solely Documenting The Crap Of My Life? No. No one wants to read something like that. I don’t complain about anything particularly ground-breaking. Just school, which is starting in t-minus [checks date by hovering over the clock in the lower right-hand corner] 12 DAYS. Crap. Crap on crap with a side of crap ala crap. Speaking of crap, did John Crapper really invent the toilet? Wikipedia break! But before that, yogurt. Everyone should make a little time out of their busy schedules for the following: … I was going to use bullet points again, but I figure I’ve done that to death. So, let’s try something new. People should make time for the following: yogurt, sexercise, and blog reading. I’d say that’s a pretty fair list. Especially when you combine all three elements together. At the same time. On a Friday afternoon. Skyrockets in flight! WOO! Okay, I think this is getting into inappropriate territory, population: me.

It wasn’t John Crapper– it was Thomas Crapper. And he didn’t even invent the damn toilet. He just helped spread the word.

Yet another purported explanation is that Crapper’s flush toilet advertising was so widespread that “crapper” became a synonym for “toilet” and people simply assumed that he was the inventor.

I guess I was one of those assumers. Assumstresses? Octopus, octopi. English is hard. Harder than … than … I’m having trouble thinking of something hard. Yes, I know, there’s the obvious option, but I’ve already made some PG-13 comments in this blog entry. I don’t want the FDA coming by and striking-through or black-backgrounding anything particularly risque. Blackboards are hard. Unripe bananas. Plywood boards. Pens. Pens can be quite hard. On that note!

So what can we see on television? Sideboobs and butts. But never what’s on the other side of the butts. Unless it’s late at night on Showtime or Cinemax or the Food Network. Gil Meche is looking to end his three-game losing streak today. Be there or be square. I just mentioned Gil Meche in the same paragraph as sideboobs. Yeah. MLB PRESS PASS IS AWESOME.

You don’t wanna know, so I’m gonna tell you. Let me just preface this by saying I used a toothpick and my own blood, sweat, and tears to pry all these things out of my typing tool’s crevices. Without further ado:

  • A piece of green onion. Yeah, I don’t know.
  • A rubber band from when I had braces. Nostalgia!
  • Some foil and wax paper from a Hershey’s Kiss
  • A sunflower seed
  • Lots of little orange things that look like hardened earwax
  • Clumps of dust
  • Things that best remain unidentified

So, I downloaded about 35 Gil Meche pictures today. Thank you, picsearch.com. Thank you, image.yahoo.com. Thank you, all the rest and the best and especially the breast. He’s got some Brett Tomko-esque ones, that Meche. Like the one on your left. “I’m trapped in a glass case of emotion!” I’m glad Meche is proving that the Royals didn’t flush $55 million down the crapper. Okay, I just added ‘crapper’ into Firefox’s dictionary. I mean, it’s great that they’ve included spell checking in input fields, but I guess it’s just not compatible with all my using words that aren’t “words.” What are words? Baby, don’t hurt me. Don’t hurt me. No more. MATT CAIN needs your run support. So donate some today and save a life. Mine.

I pretty much cross-post everything everywhere. I like sitting here on summer days, listening to Queen and eating some sweetness. Queen fits any occasion. If I could, I would go back in time and meet Freddie Mercury. I would also procrastinate less. Wait, no, I can’t do any of that because it would drastically change the future aka the present. That’s the problem with time travel. I mean, just being in the past means you’re changing something. Especially when you sneeze and kill all the dinosaurs.

Things I love as of right now:

  • puns
  • water
  • Hello Kitty baseball things

Things I don’t love as of right now:

  • the Dodgers
  • the fact that this blog is now the second result when searching for “Brett Tomko sucks” (It was first before.)
