Apropos of Nothing

I hate when the bar of soap gets down to the nub. It’s hard to use but I almost feel wasteful about throwing it away. Is this normal?

I’m disgusted that the NHL canceled the Winter Classic and so much of the hockey season. With no Flyers, and the Eagles players and management revealing themselves as incompetent, I have no local teams to tide me over until pitchers and catchers report. Don’t make me have to care about the NBA.

Why do we have the euphemism “bath tissue”? Are there really people whose faces would go beet red if they had to call it “toilet paper”?

There is nothing more offensive to the eye than campaign signs the day after the election. It’s bad enough during the campaigns but even worse on the morning after. All of us, regardless of political persuasion, should unite in our disdain for this. Get out the bulldozers and clean up America.

Since it didn’t snow last winter, I have a feeling that drivers are going to freak out even worse than normal this winter because “we’re not used to this.” Yes, it is difficult to summon memories of the snow that fell two whole years ago and remember how to drive in it.

American Horror Story: Asylum is just batshit insane. They are throwing every horror trope at the wall and seeing what sticks. We’ve had Nazis, insane people, aliens, demonic possession, werewolf-like creatures and God knows what else in just the first four episodes. It’s not a show that’s actually good but it is a guilty pleasure. Plus, I love Jessica Lange.

Commercials for tampons and toilet paper sometimes claim to “get real” by not using euphemisms or being delicate but they don’t nearly go far enough. Instead of blue liquid, use yellow or red on the pads and paper. Talk about “twat” and “piss.” That’s when shit will start to get real.

I was surprised when we ran out of candy on Halloween, and we had a lot to give out. We’re not usually home on that night so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
