What do you mean this blog isn't what it used to be?

The afternoon was fun. Spent the whole time working on government commercials. Definitely a good time.

Since it's Friday and Lent, I had eggsalad for supper. And as I was peeling lettuce for the sandwich, I realized that lettuce is one of the wierdest things in the world. Think about it. 1) It's name is lettuce. How many other words ending in "uce" are pronounced "us?" What does it come from? More importantly, just say the word, slowly and with deep thought. LETTUCE. Isn't it a strange word? 2) It's both green and white, and there's really no rhyme or reason to the coloration. It's not just like the stubby part is white. Sometimes, you get a very dark (or vibrant, not really dark, because dark is more of a forest green and I'm definitlely talking about a bright green) piece, and other times it's so light that it's almost white. Why? 3) It's shape and structure is the wierdest thing of all. Do you just dig into it like an apple? Do you cut it like a canteloupe? No, you peel it, but not like you peel an orange. Some of the pieces are long and wind all the way around, so you have to cut the piece...it can't be circular. Others are really small and tear apart too easily. Also, you can never follow a straight tear...it's always ridged and without design. Lettuce is the wierdest vegetable on earth, weirder than the rutabaga...at least i know how to eat a rutabaga.

That was an excerpt from the new Broadway musical, opening in June, entitled "Mortonson's Rant," a sequel to "Mortonson's Lament."

Random Factoid: Coca-Cola made 50 international beanbags in their first bean bag series, with batches of 10 being released every four-five months. Each beanbag was an animal native to a different Coke drinking country. For instance, there was a mongoose (which is neither a man or a goose) from Pakistan with a coke bottle in its hand.
