TGITEOTW

TGITEOTW
That stands for "Thank God it's the end of the week". I think it has a nice ring to it. Maybe it will catch on as a way to quickly and easily celebrate Fridays using a simple acronym. Someday I envision a chain of restaurants named after my acronym, where the waitstaff dresses like candy-canes and they hang old household products on the walls. That way, if anyone spills honey-mustard on their cargo pants, they can grab a washboard from the wall and some club soda, and quickly get the stain out.

Pig Picture
I never posted the pig picture as promised. Pardon me.


To review, my friend bought a ranch. I like to call it "Hidden Valley". To kick off their ranch lifestyle, they are also now proud pot-bellied pig owners. This is Sam:



Where have they gone?

Is it just me, or have erasable pens been wiped off of the face of the planet? For a few years, they were huge. All you really needed to effectively start school was a giant Trapper Keeper and a 12 pack of those erasable pens. Where are they? Granted, I haven't walked through that aisle in a long time. Maybe they're still there and they just don't affect my life anymore, but I have a hunch they've vanished. Like Boy George, they were huge in the 80's, but nobody's really needed them since.

I think I found one of the pens in the attic but it's either dried up or it was an invisible ink pen. It was in box with your sister's jelly shoes and koosh ball. Do you want me to hang on to your Van's?

People have since found a glitch with the erasable pen. Being left handed, I have been in on the scam for quite some time. You left handed people know what I'm talking about - writing with a pen is a bitch. Your hand ends up smudging whatever you just got done writing. This is messy and unattractive looking with a regular pen. With an erasable pen, if you are left handed, everything you write gets erased as the side of your palm slides over it.

Left handed people may make up a small percentage of the population, but we are mighty. Do not underestimate us, and our ability to spread the word on the hand-biased erasable pens.
