I'm a 36 year-old guy who enjoys blogging with humor as dry as the Sahara. This site is pre-modern, post-intellectual, politically incorrect, reductio ad absurdum, fictitious and a raging waste of your time. Sit back and enjoy the show!
I want to own a 1957 Chevrolet Corvette.I don't know if I have ever seen a more beautiful automobile in my life. I can't describe my attraction to it but I have a visceral reaction to it. The car's not convenient or practical but I want one. I'm not going to try to psychoanalyze my desire for one. I just want one. There, I said it and I'm glad.

I breakfasted with Mr. Whitefield, who seemed to be an old, old man, being fairly worn out in his Master's service, though he has hardly seen fifty years; and yet it pleases God that I, who am now in my sixty-third year, find no disorder, no weakness, no decay, no difference from what I was at five-and-twenty; only that I have fewer teeth and more grey hairs.Well, there you go!

Drive a shopping cart like you should drive a car.
Obey the rules of the road.
1. Learn Right-of-Way—All aisle cart drivers give place to those driving their carts on the main thoroughfares of traffic. When coming to the end of an aisle, drive the cart forward slowly, braking to see if another cart is driving down the main aisle. If so, wait your turn.Have I forgotten any rules of the road? Add comments below and help this list become more complete!
2. Drive on the right side of the road—The cart driver drives the card on the right side, allowing a smooth flow of oncoming traffic to pass on the left.
3. Make 90° turns—When turning, make sharp, clean turns. Use a tight turning radius. Don’t turn into oncoming traffic.
4. Drive straight—The driver shouldn’t veer all over the road. This makes others uncomfortable because they don’t know where the cart is going.
5. When parked, pull over and off the road—No cart should be left idling on the road. This makes for traffic congestion. The cart is to be pulled off the lane of traffic so passersby can drive past safely.
6. Courtesy is the rule—drive defensively and graciously during the store travels.

The late I. S. McCoy used to tell of a meeting he and Dr. Riggle conducted in a rural community early in the century. In our group manufactured wafers were never used when communion was to be served. Instead some good woman in the church, often the pastor's wife, would make a small, flat, brown loaf of unleavened bread. This was sufficient for the entire congregation. For this particular communion service some dear sister volunteered to bake the bread, but she had evidently not had much previous experience in this field. When Dr. Riggle stood before the congregation and quoted the words, "And Jesus took the bread, and blessed it, and brake it," the bread simply would not break. Embarrassed, Riggle applied greater pressure but the loaf was stout and would not yield. In desperation he turned his back to the congregation, held the loaf along the edge of the communion table, and applied more pressure. No luck.
...McCoy quickly perceived that the situation called for reenforcements. Slipping to Riggle's side he whispered, "Give me the bread. While I am gone you sing, 'His Yoke Is Easy and His Burden is Light.'" McCoy found a hammer in a back room, took it and the bread out behind the church where there was a rock to pound on, and a couple of minutes later re-appeared, solemn as a judge, with the bread broken in a hundred small pieces. Thus the "solemn" service continued. (pg. 153-154)
