Raider Nation

I saw this lovely masterpiece on my commute this morning.  I tried to get a decent pict without rear-ending the car in front of me or getting myself shot in the face.  It's a little blurry, but just to clarify - that is an Impala SS and if you weren't sure, it's written in hot pink along the side.  But, that's not even my favorite part; on either side of the Impala logo on the back is 'Samoa' with an island logo and yes, a HOT PINK Raiders logo.  I love it.  It's like the Pink Ladies of the Raiders.  I didn't even know the Raiders had that.  I mean I know about the Raiderettes, but they don't even wear pink.  Instead of T-Birds and black cigarette pants, she's rocking an Impala and and men's XXXL jersey.  After snapping the pic I had to get out of there...I know the reputation of Raiders fans and I was not about to become one of their victims.  So, if I turn up missing, please know I did this for you.

HEY THERE!!!  I know it's been a while, but with the bum arm and overload at work I haven't found the time to write.  Well, I'm back....go ahead, sing with me now....Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back (Welcome Back, Kotter for those not in with the know).  The arm is working in full effect again and the brain's been spinning with the most recent abstract thought, so what better time to share....

Just got back from the bathroom (I often have thoughts in there, as I am a girl and it takes a bit of time to sit and take care of my bidness - that's for you Z'Qualin).  Anyway, enough with the shout-outs.  There are several Chinese- American citizens that work for my company and I got this thought in my head....let me preface it first.  In China, there are "western" toilets, which are the toilets that we use in America as you and I know them; however the locals get up on top and stand with their feet on either side of the toilet seat (the part that men are supposed to lift when urinating), squatting over the bowl.  I'll wait while you get that visual...got it?  Funny, right.  It would always make me giggle to go to the bathroom in China, lift the lid and see little foot prints on either side.  Well, I was wondering today if the Chinese-Americans in my office do the same thing.  As I sat there I started to giggle imagining various co-workers of mine stepping up onto the toilet to pee...hee hee.  It made me want to get up on the seat and leave my foot prints for a co-worker to find.  Most would not get it and probably think something kinky was going on in there, but I know there would be that one person that has been to China and would for a second forget where they were.  And that is what would make it all worth it....
