friends

Easter sales rule. Bought Cadbury eggs. 64 of them. Bought a half-gallon of milk because mixing Diet Coke and Cadbury eggs would be disgusting.
Bought answering machine so I could screen calls and get rid of Caller ID. My thought is, if you don’t leave me a message, don’t think I’ll call you
back because your name shows up on my Caller ID. In fact, my answering machine suggests you send me an email instead of leaving a message because I
won’t bother checking the machine. A bluff, but I might as well ride the bluff wagon for as long as possible. Picked up Art Car packet and t-shirt.
The Art Car ball is in the Astrodome on Thursday. Definitely will be there. I figure I can rig the radiator fan by then. The instructions
specifically say you can’t let anyone push the car. Parade rules are weird. I’m a bit nervous because I just found out the ABC affiliate will be
showing the entire thing on TV and the estimate for the crowds is 250,000 people. Yikes.


Realized that if you send an instant message to your friends every time they come out of an idle state, you will eventually annoy them.
I’ve been hassling a long-time friend of mine inadvertantly so I want to apologize for my behavior. It won’t happen again and I hope we can
still be friends. I am also available for groveling and minor window washing in exchange for forgiveness.


Speaking of forgiveness… as far as it goes with China and what they’ve done with our spy plane, I would like to send them the apology that they’ve
been begging for.
All folks with Chinese backgrounds, I apologize in advance. The following is meant for entertainment purposes only.

To Whom It May Concern: We wish to personally apologize that your pilot slammed his jet into the side of our plane and lost
his life. If we had known he was going to fly into us, we’d have tried to avoid him. Not sure what he was thinking, but a good rule of thumb to remember
is that slamming your plane into anything other than a cloud is generally a bad idea.
In condolence, I offer you my beat up
VHS copy of Top Gun. I encourage you to show it to your other hotshot pilots so they may not suffer the same fate as Goose… err, uh… I mean Wei.
Feel free to monitor our future flights and fly alongside our aircraft. But please, remember these 5 simple facts:
1. Flying between two propellors is a bad idea.
2. Trying to buzz past a slower moving aircraft at a 45 degree angle is unwise.
3. While you’ve got our plane, please don’t hit the red button. Trust us.
4. If you do hit the red button, you’ve got 30 seconds to run like hell.
5. Attempting to circumvent the red button is not recommended.
