As my mind wanders...

I had a few minutes to let my mind wander today....this is what I thought about.

* Why are pineapples called pineapples? They don't look or taste anything like an apple, and they don't grow on trees. Why not pinepeach? or spikeymelon? Just curious...

* Was Smurfette a hoe? She was the only female smurf (that I remember) and there were a ton of guys.. and some kids.... Either a hoe or one lucky girl?

* What kind of drugs are the people who come up with cartoons now on? Ed, Ed, and Eddie? Poke'mon? Spongebob? I mean, seriously... if you are running out of ideas, just ask for help I am sure someone can come up with something better. Why is something that looks like someone scrubbed their bathroom with a hit television show? Whatever happened to Fraggle Rock? the Jetsons? Gummi Bears? ..or even the classic looney tunes or disney cartoons? I feel sorry for these kids now who are our future, growing up watching a bathroom sponge courting a squirrell at the bottom of the ocean. If I offend anyone, too bad. If you are old enough to remember what Fraggle Rock is, you probably agree with me.

* Why can't people look past a person's appearance to who they truly are? At this day and age, you would think we have gotten past all of the ignorance and immaturity of prejudice. As Gwen Stefani so eloquently puts it, "We've got a long way to go."

* I still think it sucks that I can watch everything I eat and exercise just to prevent from gaining weight, while my sister can eat everything under the sun that she feels like and not exercise but she, as Mr. likes to put it, looks like a zipper if she sticks out her tongue. Yeah, yeah genetics... blah blah blah... metabolism... blah blah blah...Why can't I donate some of my gut so she can have a butt and some boobs like a woman is supposed to?... And why do people ask what's wrong with me that I'm a big, curvy woman, and she is not? What's wrong with her (not just her but all of the girls in the world that are like this...) ?She eats more than I but looks like Paris Hilton. Doesn't make much sense to me either....

* Why do some shows have to end? Like they said, nobody wants to see "Friends" in their thirties, married with children... Yes, I do. After all that will they, won't they drama, you're telling me I can't actually see Ross and Rachel as a couple? ... and whatever happens to people who disappear off television shows? "Family Matters" for example, Judy and Aunt Rachel disappear after like the first or second season. Aunt Rachel's son Richie still exists, without explaination where his mother is. How much sense does this make?

* Has anyone heard about the guy in Indonesia who had tree-ish branches growing out of his body? No joke, I'm not making this up!! (look it up.. Discoveryhealth.com) Explain that, science! Ok, so maybe they did.. they said its basically HPV out of control.... (I'm going to be a total girl right now..) EEW, GROSS!!

On a happier note...

* Has anyone ever chased a rainbow? Just to see how close they could get? Get back to me on that one... I'd like to visit Dorothy in Oz....
