something bigger than me

Earlier tonight I was on the road, and the radio was set to K-Love.  The song “Whatever You’re Doing (Something Heavenly)” by Sanctus Real came on, and it came on again later that evening.  (Is there such a shortage of good Christian songs that they have to replay the same ones every hour or so?  The short answer: NO!  Also, this happened about a week ago with a different song.  That’s why I rarely listen to the station.  But that’s a rant for another day.)

Anyway, the chorus of the song says, “You’re up to something bigger than me”, and I got to thinking about that.  That’s BIG!  I mean, for it to be bigger than me, that’s saying something!  So I’m excited about that!

caption contest, horrendous crash in garage

Even though it’s Memorial Day, you still get a caption contest.  To be honest, between grilling and being outside and various other activities involved with a day off work, this almost didn’t get done today.   But I couldn’t let my fans down.  So I’m making the sacrifice, for your reading pleasure.  🙂

This week’s caption contest involves a photo of a horrendous car crash inside someone’s garage.  And it happened here in Arkansas.  (Before anyone asks, I don’t know these people personally.  And I blurred part of the license plates to protect their identity.)   I have no idea how this kind of accident happened, but that’s where we all come in.  We get to write the caption / commentary / news release for this picture.  You can write it from the point-of-view of anyone, such as the owners of this debacle (which could be a husband, wife, teenage children, or college roommates), the insurance agent, the neighbors, friends, yourself, etc.  Just make it funny.

All that said, let’s get to the picture.   (You can click on it to get a larger view.)

car covered in Post-It notes

Someone sent me these pictures via e-mail of a prank of covering someone’s car in colored Post-It notes.  Can you imagine the expression of the car’s owner when he found this?  (Click on the pictures for a larger version.)

Somewhere there’s a VERY unhappy office manager with nothing left in the annual supplies budget.

crazy news articles

Sometimes you read about some crazy stuff in the news that’s so random it would be hard to invent.  Here’s a few examples I’ve seen lately.

There’s a new crime wave sweeping through San Francisco: potty pyromania.  The toilet torcher has set fire to at least 20 portable toilets at construction sites.  The article states it is “creating a trail of malodorous wreckage and causing an estimated $50,000 in property damage”.  Construction workers are trying to figure out who is committing this vandalism, but they have nothing to go on.  (That’s such a bad joke that it’s almost not worth pointing out.)

Also in the news, a woman in Australia was arrested for having parking fines totaling over $30,000.  (The link to this one expired.)  She accumulated that total with over 700 parking tickets over the last two years.  How could someone accumulate that much in parking tickets?  (I’ve already said the answer — can you figure it out?)  🙂

A man had a friend shoot him in the shoulder so he could skip work and not have to take a drug test.  I guess faking a cough doesn’t work anymore…

What is the world coming to?
