teachers who dress like grownups
Democrats like JFK, Scoop Jackson and Harry Truman
Republicans like Ronald Reagan, Ike and Abe Lincoln
comfortable furniture
comfortable underwear

No fine dining here
A freaking nightmare

STUFF I CAN DO WITHOUT:

Basic training
C rations
High school algebra and geometry
Kansas
my annual prostate exam
pro basketball
college basketball
ABC news
NBC news
MSNBC
Al Sharpton
Dancing with the Stars (more like has beens)
all reality shows
Hillary & Bill
Harry Reid
Income tax
Rap music
people who've had their teeth whitened just a little too much
cats
people who ask me how I'm "doin'"
SUVs
Heart Smart butter (tastes like Gliden's paint)
plastic water bottles
idiot bosses
popular culture
People Magazine
plumber cleavage
guys with their hats on backward (We get it.  You're a moron.)
winter
variety shows of any kind
 James Blunt singing anything
same goes for Cat Stevens

This could go on forever, but it's a nice spring day in the Inland Northwest.  Time to go outside and yell at those kids on my lawn.



No computer onboard
