RANDOM THOUGHTS: THE DEAD DEER

The dead deer lining North Jersey roads  have reached historic levels. In a 15-mile drive  recently on Route 287 (or I-287 as much of the country would say), I spotted at least 15 carcasses. I must admit I would have been lost without my Audubon Field Guide to American Road Kill. And there's all kinds of games you can play with kids on a trip, guess how long the bodies have been there, and how many cars it takes to smear one completely across the road and then there's the party games like "Pin the Tail on the Carcass".

RANDOM THOUGHTS: CHRISTINE O'DONNELL

Christine O'Donnell, the GOP Senatorial candidate in Delaware, says she regrets running an ad saying she's not a witch.  Delaware could potentially have the first political debate in which the moderator asks, "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?” It probably didn't help when she promised to make public facilities broom-accessible and then someone spelled water on her and she cried, "Help me, I'm melting."

RANDOM THOUGHTS: MCDONALD'S HAPPY MEALS

McDonald's Happy Meals resist decomposition for six months, according to a woman who left one on her table and maybe this explains another recent story that more people are opting for natural burial. They've concluded Happy Meals work well as well as embalming fluid.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: AIRLINE FOOD

Airline food seems to have reached a new low of accomplishment, officially honored with the fast food industry's Cordon Blecch award. I was served a Jimmy Dean Bagel with Egg and Cheese, which is an affront to God, the North and South. It was a sort of bagel with cheese-like, egg-like substance heated to scalding hot temperatures to disguise flavors. About the twentieth ingredient on the page was "cooked egg patty." I understand a breed of chicken has been developed to lay better egg patties. …

RANDOM THOUGHTS: THE RALLY

The Rally to Restore Honor was followed by the Rally to Restore Sanity. And now I am pleased to announce what you have all been waiting for, the Bob Scott Rally to Restore to Brevity. "I will defend your right to say whatever you want as long as you keep it short and then shut up." Next year, I am planning the Rally to Restore Rallies, for those who cannot get enough.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: SCIENTISTS

Scientists who created a genetically modified salmon realized the experiment had gone too far when the latest specimen began walking up the banks of the Columbia River to spawn. It got worse when, following some experiments with modified plants, all the vegetables in a New Jersey supermarket started chanting "Hell, no we won't go" when customers tried to make a purchase.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: THE SEC

The SEC has a regulatory category on its website called "Interim Final Temporary Rules". And then there’s "Interim Temporary Final Rules", "Final Temporary Interim Rules" and finally "Crap We Thought We’d Put Here to See If People Are Paying Attention" … There’s a new discounted brand of terrorists called Al –iQea. Instead of expecting 40 virgins each in heaven, they believe that by injuring themselves slightly they will be rewarded with 10 or 12 nice looking, but somewhat used women, and will spend eternity basking in comfort, although they’ll have to put the furniture together themselves.

RANDOM THOUGHTS: THE PROBLEM

The doctor told me that technical term for my problems with my right knee "It's shot." He also said I'm probably a good candidate for a knee replacement. And I said, let's begin now, "Fellow Americans if elected I promise a patella in every garage and a meniscus in every pot." Actually, when somebody asked me where I stood on the issues I replied, "very carefully. If nominated, I will not run. Heck, I can't run." ... I'm going to start the new Knee Party whose goal is flexibility and stability (mine) and financial conservatism (not spending alot to fix it). Read more...

RANDOM THOUGHTS: SOMEONE

Someone who did know about the alluring Kardashian sisters remarked on learning the truth "I thought that Kardashian was brand of carpet." "No," I responded. "But they’re easier to lay." … The airports have lanes at the gates for "Passengers with special needs". I just couldn't convince representatives from Continental that I have a special need for long vacations with free air fare.
