Title: Sheet of random phrases
Date: probably around 1997 or 1998

Current status: looking for the originator

I'm not entirely sure what this is or where it came from. I have some suspicions though, based on some names mentioned in this goofy thing.

I think Robyn Ross wrote this list of random things she either overheard or were said about her on a trip... maybe... not sure... but regardless of when or why, I'm pretty sure Robyn created this and shared it with me in an email.

There are some really amusing things on here... some of which should be used by you in everday conversations.

For example, if your boss asks you why you were late to work, just say "Megaphone rocks your lame ass", squint menacingly, and walk away.

If you are ever an undercover agent trying to blend into Chinatown, just authoritatively yell "Check for lizards in the rice cakes" at anyone who looks at you funny.

At any rate, I assigned each line to one of the voices in my head so that they can repeat it over and over again. It's better than having that damn 'Nanerpus song stuck in my head...

Sports Calendar Entry for Feb 20

Title: Sport Fact of the day for 2/20/1991
Date: I just told you that
Category: Calendar
Current Status: Recycled

Look! It's an appropriately dated entry! February 20th... okay so, it's not Wednesday and it's 18 years later, but hey... same date otherwise.

Here we learn that this is the birthday of Bobby Unser and Charles "What he do this time" Barkley. It's also Phil Esposito's birthday and on this very same day back in 1971, scored his 50th goal of that season. Way to go, Phil!

Let's see... when this date appeared on my calendar, I was in 10th grade... let me think if I can remember my classes:

Psychology with Mrs. Beazley
Algebra II with.... Mrs. Hailey?
P.E. with Coach Smith
Lunch with Reinhold, Joshwa, Skippy, Opie the Janitor, and Mr. McBride
English with Mrs. Maddox
Latin I with Mrs. Smith
Chemistry with Mr. Powell

I didn't have a job yet, I didn't have a driver's license yet, The Cowboys hadn't won a super bowl yet, and George Bush was still president.

man that seems so long ago.

Jurassic Park Fry Container

Title: McDonald's Fry Sleeve featuring Jurassic Park
Date: 1993
Category: Collectible Food Container
Current Status: Do I hear any offers?

'Member when Jurassic Park came out and everybody went batpoop over it? There were freakin dinosaurs everywhere. McDonald's, always ready to jump on something that can sell more of their foodlike substances, pounced on the license and proceeded to put JP images on anything they could. Cups, Happy Meals, tray liners, and even these fry sleeves.

When the container is opened, it looks like a dinosaur is eating your fries!!!! WTF!!!!! OMG!!!! LOL!!!!

Sorry about that....

I think that's supposed to be a T-Rex, based on the fabulous info on the back. It's a pretty goofy looking T-Rex though... looks more like a non-fuzzy gremlin on the other side of of the apartment peephole.

I remember I liked the movie... then I read the book. If I had read the book before I saw the movie, I might have walked out before it ended. The book was much better. Of course, Crichton lost me when he resurrected characters that he killed in his first book for the sequel he wrote, Lost World, so he basically changed his creation to make the film that poorly adapted his book. Sellout.
