Gan is probably right about Transformers part deux, but I will probably get around to seeing it anyway.

Clarity of vision and overwhelment are easily confused and often misunderstood.

Is the volume turned down or has the noise faded into a din?

Random Thought: Douchebag

by Tholan — Categories: Cautious Optimism — Tags: Comments Off

So I read an article on The Smoking Gun titled Alleged “Douchebag” Sues Author a few weeks ago, and book marked it for later reference.  The Random Thought of the day: Jay Louis is right; Michael Minelli is a Douchebag. Too bad the Judge will probably not agree.

My Mother-In-Law has been asking what I want for Christmas. Maybe I will ask  for a copy of Jay’s book HOT CHICKS WITH DOUCHEBAGS as a way of showing my support for his anthropological study of this particular branch of modern man.

See more of Jay’s study on Homo Doucheous Baggium at his website www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com!

To read part of what Jay had to say about Michael “Douchebag” Minelli and see the picture of Minelli, check out the image provided by The Smoking Gun below the fold.

Random Thought: Profit vs Prophet

by Tholan — Categories: Cautious Optimism — Tags: Comments Off

Ever notice that the words Profit and Prophet sound the same?  Turns out they have different origins.  Profit is Latin.  Prophet is Greek.

profitProfit:

[Origin: 1250–1300; (n.) ME < MF < L prōfectus progress, profit, equiv. to prō- pro-1 + -fec-, comb. form of facere to make, do1 + -tus suffix of v. action; (v.) ME profiten, deriv. of the n.]

Prophet:

[Origin: 1150–1200; ME prophete < LL prophéta < Gk prophtés, equiv. to pro- pro-2 + -phétés speaker, deriv. of phánai to speak]
