Things I like

I like signs that can only use pictures to get their point across, I like them even better when they don't make any sense to me. This one is from the Hy-Vee gas station on Fleur on the "SOUTH SIDE" (heck it could be at all of them)!

Now I could buy that a person in a gas powered wheelchair may, and I repeat MAY need help filling up their chair. I would think that if they have the ability to create a gas powered wheelchair, they would have the ability to fill it up on their own. I guess that is neither here nor there with my real issue with the assistance button.

My real problem with the gas station is their assertion that a baby could have a gas powered stroller! That is just dumb. First, the baby wouldn't even be able to get credit to have a gas card to pay with, let alone have a concept of money and being able to get into the wallet for the right bills. Second, who would drive? The baby? That is just stupid. Lastly, I am sure the baby would need some kind of license to drive a gas powered stroller, and that isn't happening until at least 16, 14 if the baby's parent wanted to ride along I guess.

Speaking of stupid, Rebecca Black. Now I know she never asked for any of the fame she got, but today's video is simply fantastic, stick it out through the credits, you will laugh:

Lurkers Welcome - and a new trip into the world of video!

My NeoCounter sent me an e-mail the other day (something I didn't really know it did). It sent me and e-mail that said I had my 950th unique city visit the blog. So that got me to thinking, while the friends that are here and following I know. there are obviously a bunch of others that have either stopped by once, or hopefully stop by regularly from many cities to see what is going on in the heartland.

So if you are just lurking around drop a comment below with what city you are in and if you have a blog leave that link too, I would love to drop on by and check it out.

On Friday we went out to celebrate Dani's b-day and it started with dinner at a hibachi table at Samurai Sushi and ended with too many drinks at Billy Joe's. I think good times were had by most. I tried out Add it Up by the Violent Fems and Call me Al by Paul Simon with and assist from Dani on the Simon ditty. I think for a first attempt they both came off OK. My Doorbell from the White Stripes was an epic fail, a terrible combination of too fast and too much beer. Mike hit a homer with "I am Man of Constant Sorrow". I think he should bring a fake beard next time. Amy, Dani, Zac, Tad Chilly and Cas all had fun songs. Mary Lyn wouldn't sing us anything, grrrrr. Larry brought us Paper Airplanes as a b-day request for Dani, while still a huge hit with us the rest of the bar didn't get into like the first time which I didn't get. And Amy's friend *insert name here as you see too many beers were had too remember* went the "funny" route dropping this bad boy on us "Since You've Been Gone" in the style of Kelly Clarkson:
