voice mail

Hello. You've reached my voice mailbox. I'm unable to answer the phone at this time, so at the sound of the tone, please leave your name, telephone number, and a brief message, and I will call you back.

Your name can be found on your birth certificate, driver's license, state ID, or other personal identification or effects. Your telephone number is provided by your telephone company or cellular phone provider.

Input the message by speaking into the telephone receiver. Speaking is accomplished by sounding out words with your mouth, so that one may listen to them either directly with one's ears, or indirectly by means of a sound recording device, such as this voice mailbox.

When I call you back, your telephone will either vibrate or sound an alert to notify you of the incoming call. Consult your telephone's instruction manual for information on how to answer the call.

How come infomercials are never used to promote products that are worth buying?

OK, the opposite of the Wayne Brady thing just happened.

I turned on the TV, and Ripley's Believe It Or Not was on the Sci-Fi Channel. And there was a story about a two-year-old skateboarder.

And his father looked familiar, and then his name appeared, and I realized it was Ed Wasser, who played Morden on Babylon 5.

So I guess that balances it out.

There was a carnival in the parking lot in Arizona Mills.

I've got to say, what a sad sight.

Only one snack bar, no funnel cakes or corn dogs or burgers or fries, just cotton candy and candy apples and maybe two other things.

Games nobody wants to play, and rickety rides that make lots of noises that don't exactly instill confidence in their workmanship. Hardly anyone else there.

Is this pretty much the standard, or are some carnivals actually fun to go to?
