• I got a promotion at work today. This is going to pay me about $1.25
  more an hour. Its not the promotion I was looking for (I still might
  get that one) but will take it for now.

  I love this time of year. I remember a time when I was about 10 or 11
  and it was the night before Thanksgiving and my mom was in the kitchen
  making Thanksgiving dinner. And I was in the living room dancing to the
  Weather Channel for hours. Yeah, I was an odd boy.

  You know what term I have always found funny? Boogie. Just say it.
  Boogie. See, it sounds funny. And, its very close to the word booger.
  The think that makes it even more funny, is its duel meaning. People
  always talk about the boogie man and how awful and scary he is. Yet,
  when people talk about dancing, they sometimes refer to it as boogie.
  So, if you think about it that way, what is so damn scary about a
  dancing man. I mean, he might be goofy or annoying, but there aint much
  scary about a dancer, such as Usher. Ok, so Michael Jackson is
  downright creepy and scary, especially if you are a little boy. But,
  just how did the term get to have a duel meaning?  I mean, there
  are kids that are legitimately scared of the boogie man, yet these same
  children run around dancing, so does that make these children
  hypocrites? I mean, talk about calling the kettle black. They sit there
  and boogie but are afraid of a “boogie man”. Maybe they are just
  jealous that the “boogie man” would dance better than them. To save the
  children the embarrassment of being afraid of their own kind, we should
  come up with a different term for the boogie man, such as the Jacko man
  or the freaky man. You know, just so that there is no more confusion. I
  mean, suppose a kid that is afraid of dancing because he thinks he
  would turn into the boogie man. Or maybe they hear that the boogie man
  is in the house so they start looking for him because they want to
  dance and when they find him, the boogie man steals the kid’s nose. Now
  you can see how serious this is and why we need some sort of
  distinction.

  Have any of you heard about Bush getting stuck in that room in China?
  He tried walking out a set of double doors, pushing and pulling on each
  door, but to no avail. The look on his face was priceless. Anywho,
  Letterman had a pic of him trying to get out and did a very funny Top
