Stinky

The other day, I'm driving in to work and I'm listening to Fox News on XM. The story they're discussing is a disgruntled employee who tried to kill his boss by poisoning her coffee. When she left her office, the dude snuck in and dumped xylene into her coffee cup. His troubles began when she realized she forgot something in the office and went back to get it, catching him in the act. The best part of the story is the Fox News analyst who described xylene as "an odorless, sweet-smelling liquid". Huh?

Let me also throw something else out. You know how when you first got TiVo you were totally blown away? And how you still have a friend or two that don't see "the need" for it so they remain with their heads buried in the commercial-ridden sand? And now that you have TiVo, you can't even consider watching regular, pedestrian television? That's how life is when you have satellite radio in your car. The poor people of the world who suffer through wacky FM deejays all day look at you like you're using $20 bills as toilet paper when you tell them you have XM. They don't understand why you wouldn't want to listen to Mike and The Bone and 15 straight minutes of commercials while you drive home. But, like TiVo, once you have it, you understand. If you have a daily commute that lasts longer than 2 minutes, you don't know the quality of life you are missing.
