I went to Burger King today and saw something that rather confused me. On the paper wrappings for their sandwiches, there are little pictures of select toppings available on the sandwich which the kitchen staff uses to mark what is on each sandwich. I noticed that on the wrapper for a BK Veggie there is a little drawing of two pieces of bacon. Bacon! On a veggie burger! Who gets bacon on a veggie burger?!

I fell asleep and missed most of the game, but I see now that Minnesota came back to beat Michigan in overtime to advance to Saturday's NCAA men's hockey championship game. I only work 4:30-7:30 Saturday morning, have off Sunday, and don't work until 3 on Monday, so I just might have to squeeze a road trip to Minneapolis into my schedule to take part in the post-victory drunken riots on campus Saturday night.

Name for me please one person in the country (other than "THAT" guy) who seriously would have thought that the Kansas City Royals would be the last undefeated team in baseball this year.

Name for me one other person who thought that at this point the Twins would have only one more win than the Brewers, and all three of those came at the expense of baseball's only winless team, the Tigers.

Man, I'm tired. It's been a hell of a last few days. After sitting up Tuesday night until 6 a.m., I finally forced myself to sleep, only to have my grandma wake me up 4 hours later to tell me there was a message on the answering machine for me from work. Yes, they wanted me to come in early. Yes, I'm broke. Yes, I agreed to do it because I'm broke. I worked from noon to close, which didn't end up being until damn near 1:30 this morning. That happened because of a scheduling SNAFU and a lot of incompetence on the part of people in the company who make a hell of a lot more money than I do. Those same people didn't have to sit around waiting for a dirty plane to show up from Memphis at midnight. After finally getting out at 1:30, I met Corey at the bar. I headed straight home at closing time, climbed into bed, and proceeded to sleep right through my alarm. I finally woke up at 8:05, twenty-five minutes before I needed to be at work. I threw on clothes and drove as quickly as possible to work, only to clock in late anyway, as our timeclock at work is on fairyland time (it runs really far ahead). I was supposed to be done then at 3, but the 2:55 flight sat out on ramp for damn near an hour discussing maintenance problems on the phone, so I didn't get out of work until 4. I don't work tomorrow, and fuck any bastard who tries to get me to work for them, because the answer is "No."

I have this feeling that my grandma is going to wake me up in the morning instead of letting me sleep, and if that happens, I'm going to be a cranky son-of-a-bitch the rest of the day.

I get paid again on Tuesday. Woo-woo!

I also received my license plate renewal notice in the mail today. That means that car and life insurance bills are right around the corner also.

Republican leaders are already screaming "I told you so!" at anti-war protestors as if the protestors were protesting in favor of the Hussein regime in Iraq. Apparently these morons think all is over. Nobody ever doubted the U.S. military's ability to steamroll over just about any other country in the world and nobody (save for a few quacks) was protesting in favor of Saddam. The real battle will come later when the Iraqis tire of Dubya forcing Americanism and Western culture on them and they decide to fight back instead of embracing American marines and soldiers. The real battle will take place when terrorists and jihad guerilla warriors have time to carry out attacks on Americans and American interests. I can't believe the naivete of these conservative television pundits who see American media footage of Iraqis dancing in the streets as tanks roll by and think that those people represent all the people of Iraq. These are the same people who watched that looped footage of 10 Palestinian kids and old women celebrating on September 11th and declared that all of Palestine was against the U.S. These are the same people whose followers amount to the "Jerry Springer" set, yet won't agree that complete idiots account for 99% of the people who find their way onto tv. It's not over yet, you damn fools.
