Can you have writer's block if you don't really consider yourself a writer. That is, you've never really written anything worth publishing or, for that matter, worth anyone taking the time to read it? Maybe, instead of having writer's block, you are just a real dumb person.

Of course this could open up a can of worms. For example, you can definitely have Athlete's Foot even if you are a big fat slob.

Some favorite movie quotes from "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"

"I don't want FOP I want Dapper Dan!" (George Clooney yelling at a store owner who doesn't carry his favorite brand of hair jelly.)

"Hop in boys! I'm gonna R-U-N-N-O-F-T!" (Pete's nephew stealing his Dad's car.)

Holly Hunter: "I've spoken my peace, and counted to three."
George Clooney: "Dammit, she counted to three."

"Hot Damn! It's the Soggy Bottom Boys!"

Isn't it funny how two people can have a completely different perspective on the exact same thing? For example, a vendor came to present a product and take me to lunch today.

I'll bet he was thinking "Hey, this is going really well. This guy really likes my product and will probably order some. Then my boss will give me a raise and I can buy a flat-screen TV set."

I was actually thinking "Hey, I hope he takes us to a fancy place for lunch. I think I'll have chicken, no, beef. No, chicken. Damn, I want some beef. Oh hell, this is a long presentation."

Is there a name for when you have to go to the bathroom really bad and you go there and all the stalls are full? Or what if one stall is available but you have to sit next to an occupied stall? Instead of having a seat you go away hoping that if you come back in a few minutes the bathroom will be empty. What is that called???

I think Thomas Jefferson looked a lot like he does on the nickel. But take a look at the quarter. Did George Washington really look like Mel Gibson in "The Patriot?" I mean, clearly the guy on the quarter is quite proud of his grecian neckline. He probably lifted a lot of weights. Does anyone really think G.W. strutted around Mt. Vernon shirtless? "Hey, Cornwallis, I'll bet I can do twice as many pushups as you!"

Is there anything more annoying than a blowhard name dropper? Within the last 12 hours I've been subjected to someone who:
a.) Has pictures of herself with Dale Earnhardt Jr. that are too hot to show anyone.
b.) Is saving her voice for a recording studio session.

I have been re-reading/watching some history about the founding fathers lately. Don't ask what is spurring my renewed interest. Perhaps it is my distrust of every single utterance our President makes. Every time I hear him speak he sounds like he is lying. (Yes, I know the old joke about his lips moving.) It has really surfaced ever since he has gone on this vendetta against Iraq.

From the beginning, he has acted belligerently and accusatory on whatever the topic. He started out crying for "regime change." Those cries came in the aftermath of our victory over the Taliban in Afghanistan. Suddenly Iraq was on our radar screens. But he never gave us full disclosure of his reasons. The only thing he said were platitudes like "they are an evil regime", "he gassed his own people","we think he might be pursuing weapons of mass destruction."
