Irrational Cookie



I KNEW it was an oatmeal cookie the second I laid eyes on it. But I bit into it anyway, because I managed to convince myself that this was a GOOD oatmeal cookie, not anything like the hundreds of other oatmeal cookies that I've had similar experiences with (also, don't forget that I'll eat anything). But no. Oatmeal is The Emperor. I'm an Ewok.But consider the fact that I DO like olives. At one point, I remember thinking olives were just as horrendous as an oatmeal cookie. However, convinced that I would someday be taken as a prisoner of war and force fed olives to disclose classified information, I figured, hey, why not try to LIKE olives, and when they're stuffing 'em in your face, you can PRETEND that you don't like 'em. Which'll just make 'em feed you more. Who's got the last laugh now? (Gershwin)That's it. My brain is empty. Maybe it always has been...maybe I've been running on fumes. Hmph.I watched a movie last night, "Just Another Story". I can't decide whether or not I should recommend it to anyone. But I really, really want to. So, go ahead, check it out. Underneath its amateur and sophomoric exteriors, there are a number of important principles addressed which I'm sure we can benefit from by revisiting from time to time. Bein' true to yo'self, for example. Boo ya. And how come no one knows who Tommy Kramer is (Vikings QB 1977 - 1989)? I've managed to meet more people that have never heard of him than I ever expected possible. Go figure. I'm sure there are plenty of Quarterbacks (even from CURRENT NFL teams) that I've never heard of. So there you have it.

He called in drunk to KQ approximately 1989.Course, I'm probably old enough to be TK's momma.
