Fun with Tired Language
Me to co-worker: “I wasn’t just tired, I was road trip tired.”
Pause.
Me: “I bet you didn’t know “road trip” was a modifier.”
Co-worker: “It is now. I am definitely going to use that.”

Loving would be easy
I made a really nice vegetable dish the other night. I sautéd onions and added zucchini medallions. I didn’t have any garlic, and I didn’t want to use tomatoes because I used them in the chicken main course.
I thought about it and added frozen corn and strips of prosciutto. I cooked the whole thing for less than ten minutes over very low heat (overcooked zuchinni is a sin).
When I served it, I said “Look at these beautiful colors; red, gold, and green.”
So I named the dish “Karma Chameleon.”
It was yummy. I brought the leftovers for lunch today. I suppose it’s still Karma Chameleon if you use a different green vegetable. I bet it would be great with snap beans. Only trouble is the song gets stuck in my head now.

Official is not an opinion!
There’s a series of radio commercials that I tend to hear whenever I listen for a weather report while getting ready for work. These are Subaru commercial specifically targeted to New York radio. The most recent set points out that more Subarus are sold in New York than any other state. This is obviously because New York is the most populous state that has snowy roads, but the commercials tell me that it’s because New Yorkers are special special people who want special special Subarus.
Whatever.
All of these commercials end as follows: “That’s why, in our opinion, Subaru is the official car of New York.”
And then, each and every morning, my head explodes.

Too active for love?
This morning on the way to work, I was stopped at a red light and saw two vanity plates directly in front of me, side-by-side: TOOACT1V and 1TRULOVE.
It felt like a coded message that I didn’t understand.
