I just got an email from my kids' school that displayed 500 names and addresses in the "to" field.

Sigh.

I replied and explained what a BCC was. The office staff probably hates me now.

To keep us humble?

I have a houseful of kids, so I never know where anything is. But I use them: "Come over here and read this for me."

The system is weird, even to Americans who are used to it. In a restaurant in New York, I gave the waiter a $100 bill to pay for a $20 lunch for two. He asked if I wanted change. Hell ya, Bud! I thought that was rather presumptuous. I left him $5.

On the other end of the scale, I once wrote in an 18% tip at Cracker Barrel on the credit card slip. The cashier was amazed and called another worker over to drool over it. They told me no one ever tips that much, and the majority of their customers, being elderly travelers, don't tip at all.

But that was back in the days I actually ate out...

They say if you can't afford the tip, then you can't afford to eat there. So my family of six never goes out to eat.

I don't know about you, ted, but most of us are laughing at his fashion choice.

I'll believe it when I see through it.

Egbert, it mostly likely has more to do with Twitter's 140-character limit than laziness.

There's a much larger picture at the link. It says "I have a drinking problem."

Those are called illusions.

nemoOT, I do too! That looks like an artifact from whatever this photo was stored against. Maybe a book.

The "censored" version is the video here.

I used to have what I thought were platonic friendships with the guys I worked with at various radio stations. I was married, so were some of them, and we had a lot in common with our profession -and spent a lot of time together. But as soon as I got a divorce, I found out that several of them were ready to swoop in on fresh meat.

SPOILER ALERT: The tree was supposed to teach the cat how to not care about anything. But it turned out that the cat taught the tree to care.

I agree with the Farkers: it looks like Jay Leno.
