Snow in Atlanta, Michigan!

My best friend and his oldest son went up north where there's enough snow to snowmobile. They rode from the cabin to Atlanta where my friend and I went camping with another friend last summer. There was a green plastic monster face of some kind on a post next to the trail. I posted a picture of it somewhere, in this thread, I think. Last summer it was wearing a dirty old hoodie. Now it's wearing blue jeans and some kind of glasses or goggles, too. It looks like it has a pierced eyebrow now. There's something stuck above the eyes and I don't know what they are. I thought it was reflective trail-blaze thumbtacks at first. It looks like it has a walking stick in one hand, and an cold one in the other or in its pocket. You never know what you're going to see when you're out on a ride.

Makes sense to me.

Game cam pic. I heard something strange outside my tent last year but didn't recognize the sounds it made. I never did figure out what it was until now. It's illegal to hunt albinos, so I'll have to leave this one alone.

In 1980, one of my army friends used to say, "That's what she said!" as a a double entendre, if he didn't come up with a unique witty comeback. Apparently, they started saying the same thing in the "Wayne's World" sketches on Saturday Night Live 10 years later, but I quit watching the show way before that and wouldn't know. After another 15 years, on the American TV series, The Office, one of the characters said it too, a lot, but I never saw that show. The expression started getting really popular 25 years after my friend said it. Another one of my army friends used to say, "That sounds like a personal problem to me.", when people complained about things to him.

So, I was playing a game on my cell phone just the other day, and every time I won a round there would be a commercial for another game. You may have seen the ones that claim to have no annoying ads, while showing you the same annoying ad for the hundredth time. I won't download those games, on principle. Screw them. So, this one game ad had 4 test tubes big enough to hold 4 balls each, and there were 12 balls total, 8 yellow and 4 pink IIRC. The object was to sort the balls out and have 4 of one color in each of 3 tubes, and one empty tube. They kept moving the same 10 balls back and forth, never touching the other 2. They do a lot of stupid things in these game ads, like putting pieces in a puzzle where they can't possibly accept the other pieces. So, this ad was saying, "I can't reach pink.", and my first thought was, "That sounds like a personal problem to me". ;)  Then, another time, the same game ad came on and again said, "I can't reach pink.", and I thought, "That's what happens when you have a micropenis." ;D 

So, yes, sometimes I make stupid comebacks to stupid ads. For good or bad, that's how my brain works, and sometimes I just can't help myself.
