It's Official

I just wanted to give an update on yesterday's groundhog activity. America's most famous groundhog, Punxutawney Phil, predicted six more weeks of winter. But before you get too depressed, a lesser known groundhog from Georgia, General Beauregard Lee (picture included), predicted an early spring. In fact, The General has been far more accurate in his predictions over the years than Punxutawney has, so my guess would be for an early spring.

As a side note, you may be wondering what General Beauregard Lee eats to keep his fur coat nice and shiny. The Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports that the Waffle House dontated a meal of hashbrowns - scattered, smothered, and covered - for The General. Apparently, he eats better than me.

Paul Appreciation Week

Paul Smart made me an offer I couldn't refuse for me to make it his week. Many of you don't know Paul and for that you should be ashamed of yourselves. I've slept in the same bed as Paul and I have nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone must now write their favorite memories of Paul, even if you've never met him.

Belly Button Lint

This is just one of those great mysteries of life. I've never really had a belly button lint problem. I've only had it a few times in my life. However, I once had a roommate, who shall go unnamed, who had to pick a big nugget of lint out of his belly button about twice a day. But where does it come from? The prevailing theory is that it comes from rubbing fuzz off the inside of your shirt. But if that's the case, why doesn't everyone get it? There are all kinds of other variables that must come into play like the amount your stomach sticks out, chest hair, fabric of the shirt, etc., but it still makes no sense. Can anyone answer this vexing question? My own belief is that there is a lint monster who, tooth fairy-esque, goes around and puts lint in the belly buttons of bad boys and girls.
