I've decided it's time to create a category of scheduled posts that cover the random thoughts I have as I wander through my daily life (um, ok, probably they'll be random posts, because I'm lazy like that). Often, I will have a thought, think it would make for a GREAT post...and then the wind is knocked out of my sails because:
a) I am insane, and there are few people who can relate to my randomness, and
b) Most of the time, such thoughts are too lame to craft a full post out of.
My rationale for this is that from now on I'll have a built-in template in place that will facilitate my creative laziness.
So I declare: this is the inception of the "Random Randomness" post. (Pay no attention to my need for redundancy here.)
Random item #1:
Sometimes? Sometimes I get SO SICK OF CONFERENCE CALLS that I want to vomit all over the phone. And usually, that is exacerbated when working with one particular group in my world. Evidently, one of my colleagues feels the same way, because I received this IM from her while listening to them talk (and talk...and talk) ABOUT NOTHING:
slacktivism: The act of participating in obviously pointless activities as an expedient alternative to actually expending effort to fix a problem.
So there you have it! I am a slacktivist. Woot woot! And also, I think I have found some new fodder for the WOD game.
Random item #2:
Y'all have most definitely heard all of the ruckus in Texas regarding the polygamists and their underage marriages. Probably I really could craft a full post out of this subject, but more urgently - I keep having this thought about the whole thing:
There are at least 2 offenders here that I can see. Just sayin'. We can no longer say that the polyg's aren't stylin'. Turns out, they are finally pulling their wagon trains (and their eleventeen thousand children) into the 80's.
Oh! And also - they speak at "pixie" level volumes. Check it out - you'll see. I suppose - given my propensity to speak at unruly, mega horn worthy volumes - that something like this would only occur to me.
*end randomness*

And another thing...is it just me, or is everyone pronouncing 'Eldorado' incorrectly? Isn't the 'A' supposed to be the short sound similar to saying Desperado? You don't say Desperaaado? What gives?
Excellent post sister-wife Lynette.
Oh yeah! I might just rip my hair out if I hear THAT one more time. And the words "...our children..." out of the mouths of women who speak as though they are afraid that someone is gonna whack them with the nearest newspaper for living (an assessment I am making purely based on their apparent fear of speaking OUT LOUD). Gaaah!!!
Can I add to the "randomness" of this post? I just attended my son's 1st baseball game... It was hilariously awesome!! That's it. Thanks for listening ;)
Well, where to start..... First and foremost do you know why you don't wear the same color dress as your girlfriend? Because that would mean you were married to the same man. I'll bet there are no hypercolor T-shirts in this compound. Second, don't you just love the hair-do's? The taller your hair is the closer to god you are (literally). Let's build Soloman's temple on your dome baby!
Thirdly, I like my union suit for cold weather camping and such, but let's all wear one all day, every day and make sure it's covered all the time. That would get itchy. I wonder if the're sewn into them at birth like in the middle ages?
Bwahahahahahahahaha! That's hysterical. I think you are totally right! They ARE sewn into their undies at birth. And Soloman's temple on their domes? OMG. CAN'T.STOP.LAUGHING.
I also heard that they consumate these underage marriages in their temple. I don't want to be guilty of starting rumors that aren't true, but I am too lazy to find a reference to back it up. You gotta take my word for what it's worth, dear friends.
Cultural quirkiness aside...if the kids are in danger, I say get them the hell out. It's one thing if you are consenting adults...
Excellent observations, B-I-L!
Oh! And I forgot - JR, that's awesome. Love to watch the young ones at ball games. Their attention spans are shorter, so some funny stuff goes down.
Now that I am guilty of adding almost every comment to this post...
That is all.
I think my mom had a good point. They should have taken all the men and left the sister wives and children.
And did anyone notice the unibrow on the one in the middle? yikes! someone get that sister some wax STAT!
