Stupidity Is Infinite
I was driving down the road yesterday when I came across a kid on the sidewalk who was waving at me in a very peculiar way. He was pumping his fist in the air, up and down, up and down while smiling broadly. I slowed down just a tick to wave back. "How sad!" I thought. "That poor little slow boy's parents have left him to walk to school alone." Then the tow truck beside me honked his horn, an answer to the obvious "honk-your-horn" gesture the kid was making at it.
Whatever doubts I had about not being smarter than a 5th grader have just been confirmed.

Daily Hoop Conversation:
(While watching T.V.)
Hoop: Did you see that?
Tink: See what?
Hoop: A washer and dryer combo that can complete a load in 30 minutes.
Tink: Neat!
Hoop: Do you know how quickly we could do our laundry with one of those?
Tink: In 30 minutes.
Hoop: ...
Tink: Was that a trick question?

Is it just me, or does this man who washed up on Christmas Eve look like Santa Claus?

Wow he does look loke Santa Claus,
Yes, he does LOOK like him, but I happen to know that the only tattoo that Santa has is located on his lower abdomen right side, and, appropriately enough, it's a candy cane. ;-)
Please tell me that is a doctored photo!!
On the other hand, I have lived in other places where I saw Santa driving around, mid-year, in a red minivan with personalized plates. I've also seen him in a red Subaru wagon. He's everywhere!
Some days my 3rd grader is smarter than me. Sad, isn't it?
But do you know how long it would take to do TWO loads of laundry with one of those? haha
Now I know why I didn't get my 52" LCD HDTV and 17" MacBook and iPhone that I asked Santa for at Christmas. He didn't make it past the East coast on Christmas Eve.
So sad.
WHY ME??
HA! My word verification is "comic"
Tink... you're smarter than Hoop but pale to the 5th grader? That's not saying much for Hoop... ;)
If they had the man's actual body, why did they need to use a composite sketch?
Maybe it was the delicious decomposition.
(By the way, you're in trouble with Granny for gloating over her Xbox escapades.)
I guess we won't know until next Christmas, eh?
Huh. My capcha word is "ravers."
Ah, your Hoop conversations always make me giggle!
He totally does...and also a little like Michael J. Pollard!
Uh, I thought that honk, honk gesture was supposed to be for semis? I never heard of anyone doing it to a car - I would have thought something was a little wrong with him too!
Love you-
fiwa
I want that washer/dryer set too!!
honk honk!
A little bit Santa, a little bit Jesus.
Too funny. It must be fun to be you. ;)
I'll "sign" and send that photo in just a few.
LOL, well he DID ask
I wouldn't have understood the fifth grader either...
Hahaha that's funny... Well don't feel bad, we all have our moments Tink!! :)
And the guy? I vote "Moses".
Have a good weekend.
Washed up?? That would explain the crappy present I got for Christmas.
Santa!! Oh no!
Love your Hoop conversations!
It occurs to me that this post shows that as unobservant you might think you are, there's always someone a little worse off than you.
If that was Santa that washed up in the river that would explain why I didn't get my gift this year.
Knot
It's the 40-70 age range that throws me, though.
Didn't you stand in the corner of your school's playground and motion for the yank of the horn like, every lunch and every recess? Or is that just a poor rural Ontario thing! (don't answer that!)
30 minutes, ha ha!
Tink, you crack me up! One of my favorite things about long trips when I was a kid was getting to hang my arm out the window and pump it at truck drivers. It was amazing how many truckers obliged. Glad to hear that they still do. I have the occasional urge to do this as an adult - but have so far chickened out.
And, in my opinion, that guy who washed up looks like a cross between Santa Claus and Rasputin...; )
(Tink, your time is now for dreams. I think you should just do it. Really. Do it!)
Damn Hoop trying to be sneaky lol.
