Turkey fragments

Friday Fragment (FF) time again.

Thanks Mrs. 4444. When Mrs. 4444 does sudoku I bet she solves the 4’s first.

I failed to post one last week. I guess Mrs. 4444 will be dropping me down a grade. Because many blog readers have better things to do in the real world, I suspect the number visit today will be low. Of course, if you sitting around watching youtube clips with your family and friends please check out my collection of videos.

So has this internet age event happened at any of your family gatherings? What event? 

Someone (yes I’ve been the one before but so has other family members) is just dying to share some youtube clip. Then the family is gathering around the laptop to watch some drunk college kid trip while trying to get his flip flops back on. Maybe it’s the 21 century version of gathering around the radio to listen to some radio show. Didn’t Norman Rockwell paint something like that?

Do blog posts have freshness dates on them? Milk, bread, eggs and such should have a freshness date but a good post telling a great story could last forever. I’ve recycled some old posts and I have read older posts on a favorite blog before too. Often I read something that I would have missed if the blogger didn’t repost it.

Every so often I do a search on “lisleman” just for fun. The last one resulted in the following headline:

Hot tub hijinks land Lisle man in hot water

It wasn’t me, but some drunk naked 30 year old Lisle man (backyard hot tubs were not around when I was 30 thank goodness) was fished out of a couple’s backyard hot tub by police. He was nice enough (or dumb enough?) to knock on their window before stripping and jumping in the tub. Don’t all hot tubs look alike?

Recently, Bearman (not related to Lisleman) over at Bearman cartoons has been creating cartoons based with the TSA pat down and full body scanner news. While we need to be safe and the scanner thing doesn’t bother me much, it does remind me of the “shrinkage” episode of Seinfeld.

While enjoying Bearman’s TSA theme cartoon an idea popped in my head. I truly don’t understand where some of these odd things come from but as a reader of my blog you get to read about them. Aren’t you special? Yes you are.

Lisleman’s idea to solve the TSA pat down problem -

TSA should offer a optional massage area for all passengers. You would lay down on a massage table get a quick refreshing 3-5 minute massage and of course at the same time they would spot any odd packages taped to your body. Passengers would get screened and refreshed at the same time. Some nice jazz playing in the background would make it even better.

Here's George from Seinfeld:
