Philly Today

Here is some random stuff:

• I was buying some Thomas’ English Muffins the other day. The package looks something like this: If you look closely, it says, “Sandwich size, great for grilling”. I have never, ever, in my life, grilled an English muffin. What about it makes it great for grilling? Is it because it’s sandwich size? Actually, now that I think about it, yes, the smaller muffins must be terrible for grilling in comparison. This reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg joke where he’s talking about the Fritos that have grill marks on them. But please feel free to comment on this, I’d love to hear some of your ideas on how you guys grill your English muffins.
• The other day my co-worker actually signed a document and dated it November 6, 2008. Wow, that’s pretty bad. I could only shake my head when I saw that. Granted, I sometimes have trouble with remembering the year if it recently changed. If I’m writing a date during January, sometimes February, I might screw it up. But by November I pretty much have the year figured out. This person had better get her act together soon, before the calendar changes again and then she’ll really be in trouble. Jeez, get with the times lady!
• When you hear about a heroic person, or a great sports team, you will often hear the phrase “they never say die”. Well, that’s great, but I am less worried about whether or not they say “die” and more concerned with them actually dying. Sorry, but your exclusion of one word from your vocabulary does not impress me in the least. If I never said “hippopotamus”, I don’t think anyone would think more highly of me.
