February 18th, 2002. Random Thoughts.



I`ve been collecting thoughts for a while, and now I have a hatfull. I`ve decided to renounce the metric system. From now on, I will give my weight in stone, my height in yards and volume measurements in pecks and bushels. Distance will be in furlongs, fathoms and leagues. Time will be related to heartbeats, the passing of moons and the number of Seinfeld episodes it takes to fill the period.

I saw a headline the other day in an English newspaper here Bush OKs Nevada Nuclear Waste Dump. And it struck me: why not just bury the stuff in Las Vegas?

Then, an even better idea came to me. You don`t even have bury it. Just leave it out on the ground, build a casino around it and call it Chernobyl. The tourists would eat it up. It`s a win-win situation if I ever saw one.

We were talking about skydiving one day back at the old gaijin house. I don`t get that activity. Totally doesn`t make sense to me. I mean, the best case scenario is that you come out alive. What kind of fun is that? Why not just go in for unneccesary surgery? It`s the same thing.

Tony: Dude, wanna go jump off a cliff into a lake? It`ll be fucking AWSOME!!

Trevor: Yeah? Well, I think it`d be better if we put on some `blades, strapped some dynamite to our backs and went hang-gliding. We could fly over that lake of yours and drop in from there...we`d get more free-fall time.

Marvin: Both of you are pussies. I`m done with those lame-ass stunts. I`m going to get double bypass surgery AND have my liver removed.

Tony: Whoa, dude! That`s fucking EXTREME! I`m in! Rock on!

Trevor: You`re hogging all the Mountain Dew.
