| Shots in the Dark, The Evolution of the Beer Can and Where did our parents go during Peek-a-Boo? |
|
The Oscar Nominations did come out today and man I would take a shot in the dark as to who would win the different awards but with the amount of nominees. There is no real way to be able to make an educated guess as to what the people voting for the Best Movie, Director and Sound Editing. For the Record there are 6000 people who vote on the Academy Awards. Some of the categories most people don't really even know who are nominated and I don't know about you but I really find it interesting to see actors who are paid to speak and pretend get all flustered on the stage when they only have 60 seconds to get their speech out. Then later to be surprised when the band starts playing to get them off the stage to get the 4.5 hour program done in a reasonable amount of time. I am pretty sure that no one really cares that you are thanking your publicist and accounting lawyer and that your kids shouldn't be up and would likely be in bed. Be honest. Thank yourself and your wife or husband or girlfriend or boyfriend for relieving the tension when you needed it most. Speaking of relieving tension it is "Beer Can Appreciation Day" today celebrating the inventing of the beer can in Virgina in 1935. There must have been a process when the beer cans were first being thought of... Were there a bunch of guys sitting around and saying "I love beer but we always forget the opener." " We should make a container that is made of metal and also has a the ability to be stabbed with this huge knife I carry around." Thank goodness that they don't use the can from the 30s. I saw it and it looked like it would give me tetanus just by looking at us. And finally where do our parents go during Peek-A-Boo? I recently talked to my 18 month old self and was surprised to find out what I thought. 1. There was a door behind their hands that leads to a land of chocolate and candy for adults. It only opens when they are behind it and they can't really bring any of it back. 2. Trolls have somehow kidnapped their heads and the only way to get them back is for me to laugh uncontrollably. It always works but my baby self really wants to see the other side of the hands. 3. I just pooped my pants and the only thing that will eventually changed will be to laugh at these jokers for a while. I like my 18 month old self. It really is neat to find out that I really just want to eat, sleep and try to eat the plants. Weird.
