Middle of the Week Day

Today is Independence Day (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын тусгаар тогтнол) in Mongolia. Also known as National Revolution of Freedom and Independence Day, this holiday commemorates Mongolia’s independence from China on this day in 1911.

Well I guess it all began when I started studying Egyptology. Yes, I thought it probably goes back to mummy issues...

I have questions:

Is anything easier done than said?

Do websites in the U.K. use biscuits instead of cookies?

Is the S or the C silent in the word “scent”?

Can you yell “Movie!” in a crowded fire station?

Would you go to someone’s funeral who didn’t go to yours?

If Apple made a car, would it have Windows?

Why are Zoe and Zoey pronounced the same, but Joe and Joey aren’t?

…more to come.

Today is the birthday, in 1946, of Marianne Faithfull, one-time girlfriend of Mick Jagger. She achieved popularity with this song, written by Jagger and Keith Richards.

Adding some challenge to the job.

Some Bumper Stickers:

Bada Bing!

Eye doctor: Your results just came back. Me: Can I see them? Eye doctor: Probably not.

Pfft. The liquor store clerk just wished me a Merry Christmas. As if he wasn’t going to see me every day until then.

I really do love this time of year. The Christmas music, the twinkling lights, the woman in front of me at Costco who just told her husband, “We can give your cousin a pile of dog shit for all I care.”

When I get bored, I call in sick to places I don’t work. Tomorrow I’m getting written up at Walmart.

Before you marry someone, go sit in traffic with them for at least 2 hours.

Today is the birthday, in 1950, of Alex Chilton, lead singer of The Box Tops. Chilton was 16 when this song became an international hit.

it’sssss MONDAY!!!!!!

Today is either a day off for Christmas or a day off for Boxing Day in much of Africa, the South Pacific and the Channel Islands. In Poland it’s the National Day of the Victorious Greater Poland Uprising, a day created recently to commemorate the 1918/1919 uprising at the end of World War I.

I think this needs posting:

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."
