When Manners Don't Work... Go Crazy!

I thought this would be a nice change of pace if you seem to think that manners are not affecting the best responses from people around you or no one seems to notice how nice you are being.

Pretend to go a little off your quid and see if they start to take notice! It works for Blair (pictured at right).

A great explanation of how to do this is under the heading How to Act Crazy at wikihow.com.

It's, at the very least, a fun read.

Attack of the Fire Lane Police

I have made myself the fire lane police at my son's daycare (see Episode 9) and have been putting out school sponsored cones for a few months now.

It seems that most folks either get to the school before the cones are out and have never seen them, OR they think they have gotten away with something when they get there and I haven't had time to put the cones out yet.

Well, we printed up some slips of paper alerting the miscrents to their improper behavior, and I placed about eight of them on various car windshields last week. Surprisingly, as of Thursday or so there have been no more infractions.

That stinks, too, as I have a whole stack of those things to give away.

COPY (approximate):

You have parked in a fire lane. It is illegal and unsafe for your kids. If you need additional parking, please use the parking lot at Dickey's across the street.

Sweet Justice!

Listener Artwork on the Website

Everyone needs to stop what they are doing and go look at the Artwork created by listener James Kocsis (as in psychosis) from California.

James is a graphic deisgner and all-around stand up human being. The design is topped by the iPod who is HOLDING THAT DOOR OPEN.

A big THANKS to James! If anyone is interested in taking advantage of his art skills, contact him at www.jameskocsis.com
