We Examine The All-Around 14 July 1999

4:41 PM: On my way to work, there's a billboard advertising some soap opera - General Anesthesia, One Life to Loaf, something like that - that's pushing the message that Americans need to cast off that Protestant work ethic and try just relaxing a little while for a change, gee criminy! (See "Teaching fish to swim".) Anyway, their slogan is

Daydream in the Daytime

Here again we have that English thing, causing trouble. Um, hi, "daydream"? Let's parse that word out, shall we? To dream in the day? So what you're saying here is the equivalent of

Nightmares in the Night

Or, in a word, "Duh?"

8:03: Hmmm. OK, so here is some email from me, and the time on it is 12:24 PM Today. So that means I have been here since noon or so, right? Right. And now it's 8. So I should start getting overtime right about ....

Now!

In the words of Samuel Gompers, "Ha!" That'll happen soon, I don't think, state law or no state law. They'll just make us all managers.

As opposed to mangers, as in mangé these Skittles mmm, as in it's National Free Frog Day. Bring a gateaux on your bateau, or just celebrate the simple way: don't bathe, and be rude & pretentious all day. If you're lucky people might even notice a change.

Willfully blind self-indulgent nebbish or amusingly quirky old coot? And how bout that local sports team? Discuss among yourselves.
