Fortunately, I Would Only Have Fallen Off The Treadmill And Not Off A Bridge

While I was running this morning, I saw a story on CNN that aired the 911 calls from last weekend's tragic bus accident. The question that nearly knocked me off the treadmill was

Why do I turn away from news airings of 911 calls but actively seek out ATC and CVR recordings of plane crashes?

OK, that does it. New category.

You'd End Up Handcuffed In The Back Seat With "Party Boy" Pontius, That's What

I'm almost at the point where 'The Thought That Woke Me From A Sound Sleep' should become its own category (for instance, this and this and this and this and this). The latest one was about the now-defunct Armed and Famous, a reality show where "celebrities" trained as police officers down in Muncie. One of them was Jason 'Wee Man' Acuna, whom you may recognize as the little person from the Jackass tv show and movies.

So my thought was "If you got arrested by Wee Man, and recognized him as Wee Man, what would happen if you 'figured out' you were in a Jackass sketch and kicked him in the 'nads?"

The Thought That Woke Me From A Sound Sleep Last Night

The idea '24/7/365' makes no sense. Why not '24/365' or '24/7/52?'
