Random: Typewriter

-The first novel written on a typewriter was Tom Sawyer, written by Mark Twain.

-Tom Sawyer was a song by the Canadian progressive rock band Rush.

-Niagra Falls is in Canada. The fine for being a daredeviling barrel riding over the Falls is either $5,000 or 6 moths in jail or both..or death if your barrel sucks.

-You know what sucks? You're having an amazing day. The sun is out and frickin' bluebirds are on your shoulder. You find a ten spot and no one claims it. A passing car is playing your favorite song. An ice cream vendor gives you a free cone and as you're eating it..the unthinkable happens A bus filled with hot international strippers breaks down, you help change the tire and then you have to help rub suntan lotion on all of them. Things couldn't be better. Then your annoying depressed, universally downer friend shows up and brings a bloody thunderstorm of gloom and plain ol' bad luck. This dude doesn't have life issues...the bastard has a freakin' subscription.
You try to explain that life is what they make of it and that good makes good. Then they say, "yeah, well...blah blah..global economy..blah blah..kids in those pennies a day commercials...blah blah..locusts and the black death.." Pisses me off...that sucks.

Can I top you off or get you something else?

Typical bar conversation...
