1. When you laugh at the expense of others, you still have to pay the tax yourself.
2. The easiest way to sell yourself short is to take yourself too seriously.
3. Pickup trucks are the “mullet” haircut of the automotive world: business up front, party in the back. Funny how so many pickup drivers have mullets. (I drive a truck, but no, I don’t have a mullet. Um, anymore).
4. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The shoulder of that road is paved with regret. There are several exits if you want to change direction, but it’s harder to exit if you’re using cruise control. Or speeding.
5. The absolute best root beer I ever had came out of the fountain at the Dairy Queen in Holiday, Texas. However, some of the worst service I’ve had, and one of the worst hamburgers I ever ate, was at the Dairy Queen in Holiday, Texas. Sometimes the bad is easier to swallow with a cup of good ("A spoonful of sugar").
Wait, I'm not done yet!
6. They say good help is hard to find. So why aren’t you helping?
7. Marriage isn’t all about fun, it’s mostly about commitment – and commitment isn’t always fun. However, a good marriage is always worth it.
8. When the phase of the moon has waned to a mere sliver, I call that a “fingernail moon” because it looks like a stray nail clipping. How romantic, right? Better than toenail moon, I suppose.
9. Everything on Earth can erode, burn, rust or rot. Anything that can erode, burn, rust or rot is temporary. Why are we so concerned with what’s temporary?
10. There’s no such thing as irony because everything happens for a reason.
11. Unrequited love is like uncooked bacon: full of potential that is never realized. Plus, it’s hard to stomach and you can’t eat it for breakfast. Both are lacking a key element: heat.
12. If the most important sexual organ is the brain, why don’t I get more spam e-mails about keeping my mind up all night long? Or increasing my brain size? Or pleasuring her with my thoughts?
13. It takes two to tango, but only one to breakdance.
14. With everyone having an opinion about something, and there being only one right answer in most cases, that means the majority of people are wrong.
15. These days, normal is the strangest thing you’ll ever see.
*Hey! These are my random thoughts. You don't have to agree. Here's one more thought: Happy Wednesday!
Happy Hump Day, T-bone!! Thanks for the random thoughts. You are the wisest sage in the Blogosphere!!
goodness again....I needed to read something good today!!! Add some of those throughout your recipe book and you've gotcha a best seller!!!
Happy Wednesday to you, too, T-Bone! These are great...thanks for sharing, and giving me some new great fodder for my treasured quote book! :)
Great random thoughts. Especially like the bit about unrequited love and selling yourself short.
I will add, regarding number 15, that there is no such thing as normal and if there is who gets to define it and are they really normal themselves?
I completely agree with the marriage statement. I missed the beefy wisdom that you impart.
It also only takes one to moonwalk.
I was hoping for something about cooking steak, but I'm still walking away full.
Good ones.
When you bite your fingernails like I do, you can't help but see the sliver moon as a toenail clipping.
Gracias T-bone...
Do you really have random thoughts in prose? They're almost poetic, could be prophetic, but definitely not prosaic, or pathetic...
:)
i call it a fingernail moon, too!
More random thoughts:
There are three things worth living for: love, sex, and pie.
#12 sounds reasonable to me.
You are so wise oh great one. I thought you might be interested in reading what my dad had to say about the whole Pepsi/Dr. Pepper thing. Check my page. Also, are you really gonna put together a cookbook?

Aww...classic T-Bone. I know this is a quote, but my favorite, nonetheless:
"If you're not the lead dog, the view remains the same."
