A Tidbit and Rattling Randomness, etc.


The Rant is Still Free!  And Totally Worth It!

 

Exciting New Feature (included in the base price)

Each post of The Rant will now include an interesting tidbit about me.

Facts You Should Know About Me

·       3 of the activities on my Bucket List involve actual buckets.

 

Some Random Thoughts Rattling Around My Head This Week

·       I find it odd that the TV commercial for Korean Airlines doesn’t show any Asians.

·       Spoiler alert:  In the new Lone Ranger movie trailer, I think Johnny Depp sounds just like Mr. Miyagi.

·       Now when you see The Karate Kid listed on TV, it’s the Jackie Chan one.  It’s a good flick, but kind of a letdown if you’re all ready for “wax on, wax off”.

·       When that guy jumped/fell out of the hot air balloon from outer space, I bet at some point he thought to himself, if only for a moment, “this was a big mistake.”

·       Dishwashing liquids aren’t advertising their “antibacterial” properties nearly as much as they used to.  I think the Bacteria Anti-Defamation league has struck again.

·       I don’t think anyone needs more than 5 pairs of shoes.  I mean, come on, how many pairs of shoes do you need? If you have more than 5 pairs of shoes, you should share them.  Everyone should have his or her fair share of shoes.

·       Dogs and cats can catch human flu, but people can’t catch dog and cat flu.  That just doesn’t seem fair.

·       I don’t think anyone needs more than 5 cats.  I mean, come on, how many cats do you need?  If you have more than 5 cats, you should share them.  Everyone should have his or her fair share of cats.

·       I hate political metaphors.

·       Russell Means died today.  I’m a fan of his because he was great as Chingachgook in the Daniel Day Lewis version of Last of the Mohicans (and he also did the chief's voice in Disney’s Pocahontas).  The scene in Last of the Mohicans where he killed Magua with that badass axe thing on the rockcliff was so vivid and memorable.  Mean’s real legacy was as an activist and leader of the American Indian Movement.  Look him up if you aren’t familiar with his work.
