is a little unnerved by how much you talk to your knife.
wants to know who you've been whoring around town with, Dinah! Don't tell me it's that banjo-playing creep who's always hanging out in the kitchen.
is done with hummus and is moving on to bone marrow.
can't think of a nicer way to spend a Sunday morning than watching the VHS recording of last night's "Saturday Night Live" with his cool old brother Chris Tyrrell . Suck a dick, Justin Tyrrell!
strangled a duck in cold blood, just to see its expression as it quacked. Isn't that right, Sowell Init?
accidentally left his bike outside last night unlocked, and now it's almost surely gone. I finally get the lament of "Someone Left a Cake Out in the Rain".
gargles vanilla-fiberglass smoothies right before he makes a ransom call.
is always suspicious of the tuba player ... what's his angle, anyway?
thinks his marionettes may have become real boys last night. I found them in a different spot from where I remember leaving them. Then again, I have been caught "sleep puppeteering" before. I just hope it was that, and that I was feeding them yogurt like they were babies, because otherwise my marionnettes had some r...eal boy sex last night. God, I gotta shake this NyQuil addiction.
's lovemaking aesthetic is "Don't need to be in the top 3, just don't want to be in the bottom 3." I just want to hear Heidi Klum say, "Congratulations, your scores have allowed you to advance. You can leave the runway."
just bet (and lost) his kidney on a game of hopscotch.
's fashion aesthetic is "stereotype camouflage": I want you to have no reaction to how I'm dressed.
can tolerate your asymmetric bosoms if you can look unflinchingly at my six-pack of nuts.
sees nothing wrong ... with doin' the butt ... all ... night ... long.
wonders if it was hard for Estelle Getty to play old when she was really pretty young, Betty White to play stupid when she's really pretty smart, Rue McClanahan to play slutty when she's really pretty demure, and Bea Arthur to play a woman when she's really ...
no longer steals public radio. I finally contributed --- suck it, all you homeless people who ask for my charitable contributions without providing me with "All Things Considered".
knows the phrase "mule on fire" conjures up images of hilarity, but it is NOT that funny in person.
just watched the American Gladiators ripoff, "Battle Dome" (Hulu it). The commentators are Ed Lover and Steve Albert, Marv's li'l bro. The personality archetype of each 'Gladiator' is hilarious. It's far trashier than American Gladiators and seemingly much less regulated for safety concerns. One event is basically wh...at Xylon & Xenox called "G.I. Joe" growing up: sitting opposite and kicking each other in the balls.
is writing the screenplay for "Ghostbusters 3: Egon's Revenge"; basically, Egon dies due to Venkman's hilariously cavalier negligence with the containment units and then the remaining three 'Busters get haunted by Egon's ghost. Talk about a worthy adversary!! The ghost of Egon knows all the 'Busters formations and ta...ctics. He'll never be outflanked. Or won't he? Find out in theaters, May 2019.
doesn't want to rob you of your dignity, friend, but I can't pay you unless you put the stuffed animal costume on. Isn't that right, Xylon Steve Garavito?

would like it if Buick named its first hybrid the Buick Rickshaw ... and if it were just a rickshaw and not a car.
is starting a strip club that caters to the discerning hobosexual ... it's called "Gutterballs".
steals public radio.
is sorry that Rondy Hynette isn't comfortable with my hobosexuality, but there's something about the combined smell of tuna burning over a trash can mixed with the "here today, gone tomorrow" aloofness of a hobo that really titillates me.
is starting a new thing called Re-Sike-Ling: it's like recycling, but instead of dropping your bottle in the recycling bin, at the last second you call out "Sike!" and drop it in the adjacent trash can instead.
has a sexual fantasy in which his body is a giant Bop It! being played by a beautiful woman ... "twist it! .... pull it! .... spin it! .... bop it!"
realizes he could be specific for once: Abby and I are engaged. I asked her a week ago but we had to wait a week to start telling people. We'll probably get married in the fall somewhere near LA. His proposal story is not entertaining enough to encapsulate here. Go Terps!
is off the market. Sorry, rest of womankind, if you were just playing hard to get ... you played it a little too cagey for the ol' T-ster to read you.
doesn't remember getting neutered this week, but his sporadic cups of decaf and his willingness to go with a bunch of girls last night to see "Valentine's Day" seem to speak otherwise.
would love to help you brainstorm ideas for your epitaph, unless that sounds like a morbid way to spend Valentine's Day.

knows it was a good burrito when he doesn't mind the burrito burps that come an hour later.

is off to bed, hoping Judge Judy doesn't make a cameo in his dreams again.
is weighing which is more pungent: Fondue cheese or the inside of a college mascot's costume?
thinks it would have been hilariously ballsy if the Tea Party Movement had chosen to use the Civil Rights Movement, instead, as its historical homage to righteous indignation.
is rollin' up the dough, making sure to roll it slow ... and if you know of an easier way to make Billy Bobkas, I'd like to hear of it.
is designing "ambivalently inspirational" posters, featuring slogans such as "You gotta have your back to the sun to see a rainbow" and "Some times your third choice is all you're gonna get".
is bracing himself for the socio-political repercussions of the Facebook army asserting its belief in equal marital rights .... what's that? the Powers That Be are NOT interpreting this as a mandate? what else? now I'M being coyingly jaded even though I joined the group myself? well, this status update certainly lacks a strong punchline.
doesn't own a TV, and is therefore subtly imploring someone in or near LA to invite him to watch the Superbowl at his/her house. I'll bring the root beer floats.
hopes the afterlife is less like normal Life and more like Cinnamon Life.
is laced up from the waist up! That's right, world. I'm wearing corsets again!

doesn't get why there isn't more zip-line infrastructure in this country.
has modest sexual ambitions, aspiring only to meet or exceed the excitement of riding a Tilt-a-Whirl.

wonders whose estate has been receiving ever-dwindling royalty checks for the invention of Backgammon.
saw an adulterated 4-way stop sign today, and he is begrudgingly willing to take the suggestion of its vandal. You had a good run, "All War", but now it's time to stop you.

has no problem with you ordering the more expensive wine as long as you realize that, in doing so, you are tacitly committing to propinquitous fornication with me.
is re-Kindling his romance with paperbacks.
doesn't understand, honey, why you're laughing when I tell you I want to have our wedding at Castle Grayskull.
: Do I know how fast I was driving?! I'm not even going to dignify that with a response, officer, unless you consider "awesomely fast" a speed.
would like to file an amicus curiae brief for the case of The Field Mice v. Little Bunny Foo Foo. The long and short of the brief would be that we, the citizens of the forest, do NOT appreciate Mr. Foo Foo's attitude.
prays that his homunculus has a golden parachute waiting for him for the day when his company goes under.
can only imagine what sort of parental abuse and neglect transpired in the Sour Patch Kids' household.

is looking for a good Thai joint somewhere in the Dagobah System.
will probably have fewer than 10 diet sodas in his lifetime.
wonders if taking 'Tussin and going to see "Avatar" in 3-D would cancel each other out (since this joke has "The Dennis Miller ratio" of esoterica, I should explain that one of the hallucinogenic ingredients in Robotussin causes you to lose your binocular vision)
is making his bed and can't decide between this down comforter and this AIDS quilt.
would love to tell you about the boogie hanging out of your nose ... but he's enjoying how superior to you it makes him feel.

is sitting in a hospital lounge area, watching some pharmaceutical salespeople have lunch with a doctor, and LITERALLY, oh wait, I mean, figuratively, sucking this doctor's dick. Their personalities flipped a switch the moment he sat down with them. I'm actually freaked out and disgusted by the whole conversation/situation.
... oh, Black VELVET! For all these years, I've been singing Black ELVIS. The song still doesn't make sense, but at least I don't have to wrestle with that haunting imagery anymore.
hesistates to use this contraversial adverb, but it's retardedly gorgeous in LA today, which makes it all the more bittersweet to be flying east for a month tonight.
, just like Little Peggy Ann McKay, cannot go to school today.
is saying "Goody Gumdrops" WAY too often and is therefore looking for an appealing substitute that succeeds in alliteratively pairing an expletive with a confectionary noun ... "Egads Eclairs" comes to mind.

wonders if photographers who have photographic memories ever forget to push the button.
doesn't understand how any cereal that tastes like loose gravel could be good, but Grape Nuts continues to impress nonetheless.

Hulu is going to have a compilation of all the Superbowl commercials for people who miss it or want repeats. I'm just wondering if they will show their own commercials during this "show". Sample audience dialogue, "Ah, man, I gotta sit through these commercials? B.S. Get me back to the commercials!"
bets the people who promoted "Look Who's Talking, Too" are kicking themselves for not having named it the "Speakquel".

sold your kitten into slavery.
wonders if nut farmers ever had any premonition that their career choice would incite snickering in immature men like myself.

just brushed his teeth, at 4:30 pm, eastern standard time. I could tell you of the coffee/cupcake/smoking trifecta that militated against brushing any sooner, but ultimately, you're still just going to say "Ewwww."

is thinking about turning his status updates into something more serial and episodic, like “Rex Morgan, M.D.”
Grendie Wilhelm is leafing through carpet samples with her thumb and forefinger. The third one feels stiff but it has a flush, sanguine hue. The fifth one feels so cozy that she blinks long enough to see a room covered in it, full of soft landings. Unfortunately, it's a very drab, office blue. >>>> next time on “GRENDIE WILHELM, Dry Cleaner”: Grendie takes a a second lap throughthe samples. >>
didn't land on Fraggle rock ... Fraggle rock landed on US!
bets that Putin goes "over the top" every time he arm wrestles ... even if it's with his 6 year old nephews

thinks he may have just solved the Israeli-Arab situation ... one word: Armistice. Your welcome, Middle East.
finds that a basketball court is the only place where he is extolled for his lank.
is pretty certain "Skip to my Lou" isn't referring to 'Loo' in the British sense of 'bathroom'. Nobody skips to the bathroom. They walk awkwardly, clenching their loins together with their inner thighs.
wishes he had a dime for every time he's heard someone say, "Sir, you're still eight cents short." (editor's note: this update has purposefully returned to a PG rating)
is consoling a 14 year old on her loss of innocence, um, just 'cause I happened to be around when that happened?

found your cookbook to be utterly bereft of satire.
just had a fart that came out so cute it sounded like a Mogwai's cuddly coo.
has no respect for mathematicians. Get a real job, hippies.
spent three hours last night beating a dead horse, and I gotta tell you, it's not as redundant as the platitude suggests .... I mean, the carcass takes on so many different forms as you successively cave in different areas of skeletal structure .... THEN, you get to play around with the innards ... I mean, really, it ...was quite an affair ... totally felt like time well spent.
has seen Kenny "the Jet" Smith, Dave Foley, and now Toby from "The Office" all in the past week, all in the course of droll coffeeshop / hippie restaurant stopovers I have in between teaching appointments. I'm going to start making bold predictions: Wed. afternoon, Rue McClanahan, Green Peas Restaurant.
is struggling to salvage this ham fondue.
disagrees to agree, despite our obvious consensus.
would have liked "Big Business" more if the twins had accidentally made out with each other before realizing they were twins.

wonders what a banana republic's chief export is ....
wishes he had more boils to lance. (and on a side note, thinks it's funny that there is a medical euphemism for "let's pop that nasty shit")
is thinking about how lucky cavemen had it: they never had to worry about accidentally brushing their teeth before they finished their orange juice.
thought he had already found and counted all of his superfluous nipples, however, a newfound chafing occuring on the back of his right calf suggests he may have a BAKER'S dozen.
is going back to cloth diapers. I mean, the constant laundering is annoying, but these disposable kinds are really chafing around the waste. Plus, you can see and hear them bulging underneath my jeans.

is hiding a lot of things underneath this parka: a Spider-man t-shirt, body odor, a satchel full of mail, and a handsome serving of remorse.
is disappointed that the Afghan run-off election never materialized ... anyone have any need for 10,000 buttons that say "Harzai? Hardly."
is still monitoring the news for stories about children who may have died due to his poisoned Halloween candy, but no blips on the radar as of yet.
is making charcoal sketches of your mom in many provocative poses.
is reminding you that you can hear 'ugly' on the phone.
spent two hours sweating tears this morning as his desktop computer failed to boot up. Finally, Igot it to do so, but the lingering sensation of a piece of hardware that totally owns my balls is disconcerting.
is searching through his closet for a Halloween look and coming to the resigned conclusion he's going to be Ru Paul again.
got nothing but recessive genes from his parents, and let me tell you, the water is warm here inthe shallow end of the gene pool. Oh, nevermind, I just peed.
saw you nudge forward when the left turn arrow turned green. Now you're playing it off like you just wanted to creep a little closer to the crosswalk. You're so transparent, Car Next to Me.
wonders what sort of fertilizer they use at Pepperidge Farms. I can't seem to get Milanos to grow in my garden.
is all, "No, girl, you di'n't!!" and she's all like, "Oh, you KNOW I did", and the parole officers were all like, "Say whaaaaa?!"
is 99% sure the concept of "refried beans" was created either by accident or by necessity.
s srchng fr vwls.
stayed up all night in order to drive to Joshua Tree to watch a meteor shower. Now I'm paying thetoll to Mr. Sandman, all the while picturing the boxer of the same name from "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out".

is toying around with the band name "Deviated Rectum"
is going to try to avoid coming into contact with any photons today.
is trying to remember which character would be best for this level of "Super Mario 2"; if there's sand, then I want the mushroom dude because he digs fast; but if there are a lot of gaps to jump, I want the princess since she floats a little bit. Ah, fuck it. Let's do this, Luigi.
hopes to one day be rich enough to afford an indulgent $5000 bowl of shark fin soup ... just so I can finally stick it to all those sharks who laughed at me in high school.
is in a big ol' bowl of the flu. I wake up just to eat so that I can feel drowsy enough to get back to sleep, all the while counting down the minutes until I have to eke my way through teaching a four hour LSAT lecture. I've been considering what my response would be to the offer of "Eternal life w/ the flu or mortality without"

just pieced together this morning the connection between "Chiclets" and the Spanish word for gum,"Chicle". This has already been such a productive day.

refuses to recognize your sovereignty.
is thinking the tap dance portion of his interview is going to seal the deal with the loan officer.
is pickling EVERYTHING! ... carrots, Frosted Flakes, coffee, nailclippers, you name it. I defy you
to name me one thing that isn't better pickled. And don't say something abstract like "justice", because "pickled justice" is still better.
is horrified by Latisse - the new prescription drug designed to save those cursed people with "inadequate eyelashes" - however, since the drug's primary side effects are itchy, red eyes, I now have a new excuse the next time I get pulled over while high.
cannot believe that it took 14 years of playing guitar before I finally experimented with putting the Wah pedal BEFORE the distortion pedals in my pedal chain. It totally makes a difference. Watch out Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains: I just figured out how to solo like you!
wants to go back to a more innocent time .... a time when Fruit Roll-ups didn't have to stoop to putting cookie cutter shapes into their otherwise perfect canvas of sticky, fruit-flavored chemicals.
is in love with Adrian Peterson's cutback. I'm not sure what shade of gay that makes me.

realizes he's old from the fact that he now can embrace cauliflower as an ingredient in his food.

is no longer infested with ants! .... if only the exterminator had a spray for regret.
hopes that the first three weeks of heaven consist of God being astounded that I've never seen "Annie Hall", "Scarface", "Taxi Driver ", etc. and forcing me to sit in the beanbag chair in his dormroom to have a movie marathon on a 24-inch TV/VCR combo.
wonders if Georgia O'Keefe ever smoked her last name.
is going to see the Gipsy Kings at Greek Theatre tonight because Abby supported public radio ... is it any wonder I love her?
just saw a cool video about Peace Day (Sept. 21), and, despite being inspired by it, is now considering between punchline A: "Awww, man, I HATE it when Peace Day falls on a Monday" and punchline B: "Stay tuned ... by 2013 I hope to make March 3rd 'Yogurt Day' (presented by Gogurt)"
is not rigidly attached to his beliefs, just to his groundless, spiteful prejudices.
is going to surprise everyone with a request to have my ashes scattered in St. Paul, Minnesota. I've never been there, and neither have most of my friends/relatives, so this will give them a really good excuse to take a really mediocre vacation.
apologizes for the theological profanity, but can we talk about how big a dick God must have? (or if God is a woman, what a perfect set of breasts She has?)
feels like Cinderella, in the sense that he just cleaned a bathroom. (but also in the sense that burrowed somewhere inside of him is a princess waiting to blossom)
is wondering if the Indian burns he endured as a child qualify as a preexisting condition on his health insurance apps.
is all gravy boat and no ladle.
doesn't understand why Papa John's refuses to send me a large pizza with green peppers and hallucinogenic mushrooms.
is not speaking to Twitter until she apologizes.
is writing the screenplay to a sequel and wondering if the title "501 Days of Indian Summer" is enough of a give-away.
hopes that all the other condiments know to bow down in the presence of ketchup.
is willing to stop sifting through your garbage cans at night, but only because you used the word "please".
had briefly stopped believing until a song reminded him not to.
may not be the first person who slept on this mattress, but I intend to be the last!
will know he's gone to hell when they offer him a welcoming slice of watermelon, only to momentarily retract it so that they can baste it in mayonnaise. Cruel tease, hell. Well played.
is trying to build a better shoehorn. I'm thinking I need to somehow involve flax.
found it poignant that, after reading on Yahoo Mail's home page that Obama is now calling the public option negotiable, the one new email in Patrick's inbox was the word of the day from Dictionary.com .... "acquiesce"
is finally coming to terms with his belly-button.
just got Eddie-Munsterized by a hair stylist and is now really looking forward to about four weeks from now when I again might look normal.
is always going to let you go first when the metered on-ramp light goes green (sorry if you don't live in LA and have no idea what a metered on-ramp means).
Health Care talking point: socialized medicine removes the incentive for medical innovation. I'm sure it's true it affects it, but please. Did Einstein develop General & Special Relativity to make a buck? No. He's a problem-solver. Most innovators are. They can't resist. Furthermore, isn't "fear of dying" enough incentive for medical innovation?
wants to be part of the "I declare I like the idea of health care reform" Facebook uprising. However, he despises cutting and pasting. So let me just wax philosophic for a second ... say you're creating a government that will manage ...a certain society. Wouldn't part of its responsibilities be to help keep its citizens alive? Great. Let's do that.
wonders if Modern U.S. History textbooks teach today's students about the Cola Wars of the 1980's.
Who won those anyway? Was it Tab or Jolt?
wants to suggest to anyone considering cannibalizing him that his lean physique doesn't lend itself to large shanks of filet; you probably want to plan a menu centered around kabobs or just grind him up and have a Taco Night.
is putting his "feelers" out there to see how viable a run he could make at the 2014 gubernatorial race in Maine. Potential campaign slogans include, "Pa is the Trick Maine needs" and "If I do more than Ty my opponents, I wil...l Rell-ish the opportunity to govern you, Maine"
thinks that schools should be required to provide an alternative perspective on morality from that of Aesop and his fables. Aesop's fables are THEORIES, not immutable laws of nature.
wishes there were an avalanche of carcinogenic wild-fire smoke that he could possibly breathe in for yet another day .... There is? Santa! You're real!
would scratch your eyes out if he hadn't just clipped his fingernails today. I guess a stern poking is still on the table.
is dedicating this weekend to Lowenbrau.
knows what this status update wants, and he's gonna give it to her.
considers whether the expression "hot as balls" is still figurative language. It sounds like a simile, sure, but the expression "cold as balls" is just as tenable. Were we really comparing the heat or the cold to the common sens...e temperature of balls, we would not be able to contradict ourselves so easily. In conclusion, balls must have an extremely mercurial existence.
wonders if renaming the hippopotamus the 'sexopotamus' would refashion societal views of obesity. Only one way to find out, I reckon. Now, where did I put that phone number for the World Institute of Nouns?
will now try to duplicate the sound of his embarrassing fart by scooching in his seat or rubbing
his shoe against the floor; he doesn't expect to convince anyone that they didn't just hear what they think they heard, but maybe, just maybe, ...he'll introduce a sliver of doubt into their minds.
is kind of surprised the movie "Love Happens" would open itself up so easily to witty rejoinders by critics panning the movie such as: 'Shit also happens, and this movie is stronger proof of that phenomenon.'
wants to smack that smug grin off Kansas's face; I see you playing all naive, Kansas, like you don't know what you did. Tell 'em, Missouri.
wonders if shoe-shiners have a moment of pride or a moment of shame when they finish their work and manage to see their reflection in the shoes.
keeps killing time just to watch the expression on its face as it dies.
has finally picked a real career .... now he just needs to get whatever degree is required to be a warden.
is hiding a secret in his bushy eyebrows ... could be traces of cocaine, could be even tinier eyebrows.
was just fondly reminiscing that stage in college we all had when we experimented with cannabalism.
would like to impregnate Canada with funk.
is taking a second to make peace with the aggregate human behavior known as politics. The fact that this soul-less, amorphous matrix of desires/influence must be appeased in order to enact any major policy shift really keeps me from relishing the moral/philosophical component of governing.
will stop calling you "crouton face" when your face stops being an uncanny facsimile of bread-based salad garnish.
is shaving his cuticles. They're not growing hair yet, but I don't trust 'em.
is wondering if anyone saw G.I. Joe -- if so, please satisfy my curiosity: did the movie feature Jinx, Quick Kick, the Crimson Guard, or Destro? (i'm sure they're saving Serpentor for the sequel)
is developing a chewing gum that tastes like butane.
wants you to make a wish ... write it on a scrap of paper, fill a sink full of lukewarm water, and then drop the wish-scrap into the sink. Let the ink on that wish-scrap start to run and the chemical bonds holding together the paper start to disintegrate before finally pulling the plug on the sink and letting the whole mess go down the drain. That's what you get for picking such a stupid wish.
thinks signs that read "Parking in Rear" sound a little dirty.
doesn't know how his drug dealer knew exactly what he wanted for his birthday.
was seriously trying on his own outfits a second ago for his show tonight. The fact that the underwhelming ensemble I'll be wearing was meticulously premeditated will make it all the more disappointing.
treated himself to a package of raspberries last night, and, consequently had an exquisite bowl of Frosted Mini-Wheats Deluxe this morning. Tom Petty was right: it's good to be king.
just sold the use of a song ("Dog After Tail") to a company that pipes music through department stores in Europe. They wanted 'middle of the road pop'. This description is hilarious. [capital letter emphasis added by me] "...;No extreme genre's, tempo's, instrumentation or subject matters. NOTHING TOO MOODY, EARNEST, OR SERIOUS and no niche style's." Nothing too Earnest? They specifically want insincerity. Awesome
Hey, awesome. birthday. wooo. I would love to hear from you, but please write something more exotic than "happy birthday". "Secretary's Appreciation Day", for instance.
is trying to associate his upcoming age of 32 with Magic Johnson, rather than with O.J. Simpson.
is just walking around the nursing home, tickling the elderly.
doesn't get why snitches get such a bad rap --- clearly these haters have never experienced the visceral joy of snitching.
warns you that you never stop to consider how your leotard-crunched balls look from below UNTIL
you're walking across that tightrope.
is going with an alias today ... Stewart Brunson ... now, maybe Kelly will date me.
is beginning to notice how many words in Pig Latin have English cognates.
wonders what kind of distortion pedals they have in heaven.
is quickly getting used to wearing only underwear, now that he lives alone in a poorly ventilated shack in muggy, mid-town LA.
is considering capitalizing on the "Cash for Clunkers" program to turn his big ol' van into a sweel li'l Honda Insight, BUT his huge reservation is that he doesn't think his van is a "clunker" and doesn't want it prematurely killed when it still has life
just moved this weekend into a guest house in a rather ugly part of mid-town LA -- it's all the recording space and privacy of the Joshua Tree cabin, without all that clumsy beauty and serenity clogging the gears.
is searching in vain for scab-flavored chewing gum.
blames the Atari 2600 game "Pitfall" for his irrational fear of quicksand.
is picking out white leather couches for The Crotch's VIP area: The Taint Lounge.
is playing around with different logos for the new nightclub he's opening called The Crotch.
hit his head on a doorknob last night and has been speaking in iambic pentameter ever since.
can't bear to salt one more slug to death -- except for that weird looking one over there that's asking for it.
is a little underwhelmed by the new environmentally conscious version of Drakkar Noir; I'm sure you'll say I'm just imagining it, but I feel like, by switching to the urine of a NON-ENDANGERED fox, they lost some zazz in the recipe.
was just thinking - what with the ballooning cost of healthcare, the decline of American economic vitality, and the pernicious effects of global warming soon to unfold - there's never been a better time to NOT be your grandchildren!!
doesn't ever plan to commit suicide, but if he did, he would do it by hanging himself with a Nerds Rope.
just switched PIN numbers, still trying to get used to "4856".
's status update will win the blinking contest it just announced it is having with you. ...... ....... ....... ....... Ha! Loser.
can't wait for quantum computers to become a reality so that he can play a version of "Minesweeper" that harnesses the power of alternate universes.
is wondering if it's the weekend right now on any other planets. (all complications of defining "now" aside)
is currently writing a dubious Wikipedia page on the history of "Hopscotch," indicating that it originated in Northern Ireland when drunken Irish pub dwellers would force Scotsmen out into the alley and fire muskets at the ground, commanding them to "Dance!"
could never outdo the surreal comedy of the CNN cutaway he just heard, "Who's signing the Pope's
cast? We'll tell you all about the nasty spill that sent the Pontiff to the hospital."
is trying to gauge how soon is TOO soon to sweep in on a rich widow. You gotta .. JUST .. hit that sweet spot of bereavement.
has been trying to count all 2000 parts of him that Lever 2000 is supposed to wash, but he keeps coming up about 3 short.
just segued from a morning "Hi-Lo Challenge" (look it up) into a Lifting Weights / Eating A+ Watermelon duopoly.
wonders what it would be like if Pixar did 3-D, IMAX political cartoons.
is confused by the racially defensive cliche of saying "it wouldn't matter if they were black, white, yellow, purple, WHATEVER" ---- yes it would. It would absolutely matter if they were purple.
is gladly forking over the last of his ski-ball tickets in exchange for a shiny, new whoopee-cushion.
is standing outside Sunday School handing out "The Conspiracy of Christmas" pamphlets on behalf of
Lyndon Larouche.
is going to apply Magic Shell to every single meal he eats today, starting with this leg of chicken.
will give you your gun back when he feels like you've matured.
was posed the question "Jessica Rabbit or The Little Mermaid" -- since this is a question of sex and not marriage, I'm going with Jessica Rabbit.
is trying to find a Rec. Center progressive enough to host my new class, "Aggressive Kegeling for a Post 9/11 World."
can't decide if this turkey gravy needs a PINCH more gasoline.
told a cashier at Trader Joe's yesterday that he wrote and performed the theme song to "Roseanne" --- it was not received as a joke --- now Patrick wonders if he's that old-looking or that un-funny.
isn't sure what the antitrust laws are like in Munchkinland, but SOMEONE needs to look into the
legality of the Lollipop Guild.
can never figure out which clip art to use for a Bounty Hunter's business card.

wonders if the teenage Webster ever smoked pot in the secret passageway between his bedroom and the grandfather clock.
hasn't seen THIS much fear in a kitten's eyes since he last tied one up in a jump rope and dangled it out of a helicopter.
What's on my mind, Facebook? Why, my money, silly. Had your silly prompt asked "What's on your
money?", I would have responded "my mind".
is sparse.
can't decide whether he wants that lone red Skittle badly enough to swallow the imagery of the dirty car seat out of which it was pulled.
is not saying he's ATTRACTED to your grandmother, ... BUT ...
is pretty sure Cobra Commander won't be attempting THAT doomsday scenario again anytime soon ...
wah, wahhhhh. oh, Commander. You're incorrigible.
got all the way to his lovely beachfront Honeymoon cabana in Honduras before realizing that he forgot to bring his toothbrush .... and forgot to marry his girlfriend or to even bring her with him. Well, it's HER fault for not waking up to the sounds of him packing a duffel bag at 3am.

isn't saying he's gay, but he totally wouldn't mind having a poster of Zac Efron on his wall.
could really use a zerbert. Where's Rudy Huxtable when you need her?
is starting to think that the high school student who told me that cat pee was good for your hair was possibly misinformed.
doesn't care WHAT you say. He still thinks Ru Paul is the sexiest woman to grace God's Green Earth.
thinks that Heathcliff could beat Garfield in a fight, because Heathcliff's all scrappy and Garfield's all lazy. Amiright?
wonders if there's such a thing as TOO much crack.
just went fly-fishing for compliments.
is soooooo two thousand and late.
's got 99 problems, but a combination of his small and large intestine, henceforth referred to simply as "GUTS", spewing out of his stomach, despite his ill-conceived attempts to stuff them back in, and causing general slippage among passersby, is not one.
's got 99 problems, but an appendix ain't one.
is relieved, more than anything, that Kwame Brown is no longer a Laker so that he didn't undeservedly get a ring for being a dud.

wishes there were a video game dedicated to the art and skill of stoning someone to death. No cinematic backstories to the victims needed, just a crosshair and a wobbling "kill shot" area on the head.
just put on his penny loafers and is gallivanting over to catch the new nickelodeon .... (it's a comedy, so he smoked a dime)

wants to see an end to racism, just not in my lifetime.

is compiling a list of the life lessons learned at Space Camp.
wishes that California win the California state lottery so that it can ease its massive debt.
's shit is BANANAS. B, A, N, A, N, A, S. Ah, great song. But seriously, I'm shitting bananas. I stand up and there's just a mangled pile o' plantains down there.
is really good at "soft plagiarizing", whether it involves mimicking standardized tests or emulating standardized rock. Can I put that on a resume?
realizes that dragons are fake, but still finds it surprising that natural selection hasn't ever resulted in a fire-breather. It would kill AND cook your food in one step!
bemoans the fact that he works at night and/or doesn't have Tivo; what good is a day of hearing Sportscenter hype up game 1 of the Conference Finals if you're not home to watch it?
is proud of Obama for raising fuel efficiency standards; is Obama proud of me for riding my bike a lot?

(last two weeks of the) regular season?!
wants to play 5-on-5 indoor basketball tonight ... preferably in a packed area.
needs to order more checks from inside a Suntrust branch ... can someone on the east coast pick them up and make a quick li'l visit to sunny Santa Monica? Otherwise, I'll be paying rent with my stripping singles.
wishes he were a warlock. THEN, maybe Kelly would date me.
just solved the riddle of "The Trinity": God is sine, Jesus is cosine, and the Holy Spirit is tangent. Separate ideas, yet all part of the same right triangle.
has very little free will today, circumscribed by a succession of appointments and responsibilities that will not ebb until around 10pm tonight. And yet, this status update is free will.

numbers.

is wishing there were an easy way to call his bro in Switzerland so that they could discuss the Game 1's of the NBA playoffs.
is starting to feel like the odd-man-out due to the fact that he hasn't impregnated anyone yet. If THAT isn't a good reason to start a family, I don't know WHAT is!

is hoping that the $612 he just mailed to the US Treasury gets earmarked for something comically unnecessary.

likes to envision that the Ragu and Prego families of Olde Italy were as contentious as were the Montagues and Capulets.
is weighing which is worse: watch funk or belly-button funk? He currently has neither, which is why this is such a ripe time to ponder the difference. Perhaps, "ripe" was a poor choice of adjective.

have to write Patrick's festively themed name on the cup. [posted on St. Patrick's day]
misses the "Patrick Tyrrell is ..." prompt Facebook used to offer, even though I just deleted the "is" 90% of the time.
should teach a class on "How to Suck Dick at Life". Chapter 1 in my textbook: "If the Economy's Going into a Recession, Take a few Months off from work."

just dropped off his little bro at LAX, now feels deprived of a doppelganger.
is reconciling the man love he feels for Obama.

regrets this status update already.
