Meatballs

I can't help but think lately about how proud I am of meatballs for all their accomplishments. I'm pretty sure there was probably a time in history when the meatball didn't exist outside of spaghetti. I mean, seriously, it's just a balled up piece of ground beef. It doesn't sound all that tempting, right? I mean, it's like going to McDonald's and getting a bunless, cheeseless, ketchupless, mustardless, onionless, pickleless, wrapless cheeseburger... and then asking the person behind the counter if they'd mash it together for you... doesn't sound so tempting, does it? But regardless, the meatball managed to roll itself out of the pasta and evolve into it's own thing. And now everyone's all about the meatball. Weddings, funerals, parties, holidays... they're all throwing meatballs in a pot by themselves and serving them out... and you know what? We people are lovin' em. We can't get enough. We're devouring them up faster than we are the spaghetti in the next pot over. And so, meatballs, I commend you for what you have accomplished.

Bank Robber

I think if I were ever going to rob a bank, I'd just have them deposit all the money into my account. That way I wouldn't have to carry all those loads to my car. And if I didn't already have an account, I'd start one while I was there. Maybe they'd be so grateful they wouldn't bother to call the cops. After all, I am depositing a lot of money. And who knows, I may even get a free gift. A duffle bag would be nice in case I wanted to take a little bit of money with me.

Potato

I was just thinking. That "I say potato, you say potato" song doesn't really have quite the same effect when it's just written down.

Best Stop... Number Two

So, I stopped to get gas today, and I'm still not certain if I picked the best place to stop. I kind of get the impression it may have only been the second best. Not really sure how that works.

Trends

I was behind a van earlier, and on the rear window it had "ACROPHOBIA" in big letters. Under that, in smaller letters, it said "fear of heights." Is there a new trend that I'm unaware of where people put vocabulary terms and definitions on their vehicles?

It's about time, because I've been waiting for the right time to put "volte-face: a reversal, as in policy or opinion" on my tribute.

Dear Alabama,

Do you realize how many people would be dead right now if stars truly fell on Alabama? Especially 'stars' in the plural form? Must you continue to spread these lies on your license plates?

Evacuations

I just heard the news talk about mandatory evacuations in certain areas. After that, the news talked about voluntary evacuations in certain areas.

Isn't every area ALWAYS under a "voluntary" evacuation???
