I think I need a thread for the strange little things that occupy my thoughts from time to time.
Today's is a funny. I sometimes drive by this mid 90's maroon minivan that is interesting because of one fact: someone turned it into a monster minivan. (It's raised up a good 8 feet.) How do the kids get in and out?

Ok, next random thought. Last night on the news, the weatherman said we had a hundredth of an inch of rain during the day. That's a really small amount. How are they sure that a fly didn't just pee on their sensor?

I would like some rain in Colorado. We've been having temperatures in the mid to high nineties. A cooling rain would be great. A fly peeing on me wouldn't be fun, though.

We had ten minutes of hail today. It looks like God took a shotgun and blasted my garden with buckshot. I'd guess we lost 75% of our grapes, the cucumber and zuchinni plants were battered badly. The tomatoes aren't too bad and the strawberries look unaffected.
It's all that junk food he eats, plus the fact that he roots for a certain English soccer team.

Soccer is for people who can't take football. Actually, I'm kidding. I don't care for either. The only professional soccer match I have ever watched was in person between the Kiev Dynamo and the Donetsk Shakhtyori.

I actually like soccer, because when there's 5 minutes left, there's actually 5 minutes left. Unlike football, where if they say 5 minutes, it could be 1/2 an hour.

In our ward the Elder's Quorum is having an activity to improve their BBQ skills followed by a family BBQ. They are calling it Menrichment. I simply cannot get over that name. It makes my skin crawl a little. Yeah, I know I'm strange.

I do have a couple ideas for follow-up activities, though: One on reverence and inviting the spirit called Menopause; followed by one on personal revelation called Menses.

So, now my ward is having a Hillbilly Chili Cookoff. They sure do come up with interesting names for things. I'm wondering if I should put roadkill in mine.

I was thinking of going New Mexico Hillbilly on their butts and burning their tongues off, but I decided to refrain.

Translation: I thought of making chili so hot it would make grown men cry, but I decided to go another direction. (New Mexico being the land of really good hot chiles and being from there myself and having some hot chiles available to use right now...)
