Folded thought of the day:

This sure is a complicated world we live in.  So many 
things to consider...  No more money under the mattress, 
we've got 401K plans.  No more family doctors, we've got
HMOs and "preferred providers."  And what the heck is 
deviled ham?  

Confusing...

I heard about this guy who mixed up his Viagra with 
his Rogaine.  Now his hair stands on-end for hours.  

And the kids have got Flintstones Chewable Prozac.  

I'm walking down the street and I've got people on 
wheels, barreling down the sidewalk, to contend with.  
Gotta stay on your toes, boy.  

Then there's Y2K.  A bunch of people saying it's no 
big deal.  Another bunch screaming Armageddon, stocking 
up on deviled ham and water and canned oysters.  
Cleaning out those bomb shelters, making sure that 
lock still works.  

And we've got Arnold's new movie "End of Days" dealing 
out Hollywood's version of "The End."  They never 
make the movies I want to see.  For example, how 
cool would it be to see "Godzilla Vs. The Y2K Bug."  

And I'm talking the Japanese version of Godzilla -- the 
slow, lumbering, sneering big guy.  And he's pitted 
against this big bug with 2 zeroes on its back, who's 
going around batting airplanes out of the sky and 
ruining banks and knocking out electricity and other 
things the Y2K bug might do.  And it's up to 
Godzilla to save the world.  Tell me you wouldn't 
be in line for that piece of cinematic brilliance...

While we're on the topic of movies, why didn't the 
new James Bond movie deal with the Y2K bug?  Think 
about it, one Double 0 vs. another Double 0.  

Man, I should've been in pictures...  

Just kidding, I like it down here Below the Fold.  

Well, if I may quote Tom Waits, who always seems 
to have a way of making a lot of sense.  When you 
find yourself dealing with things in this world 
that you'd rather not, then maybe you can remember 
this bit of advice.  

"Now when I was a boy
My daddy sat me on his knee
And he told me
He told me many things
And he said son 
There's a lot of things in this world
You're gonna have no use for
And when you get blue
And you've lost all your dreams
There's nothin' like a campfire
And a can of beans."

Just stay away from deviled ham.  I don't trust 
that stuff.
