I very nearly ordered a long-handled dust pan off Amazon because I have not been able to find one in stores around here, except for janitorial level things costing $30 bucks. Fortunately, housemate said "There's one in the kitchen, here, see?"

Hence the need for cleaning and uncluttering supplies.

ION, the front page of USA Today has a story about mysterious plumes from the surface of Mars. Physicists are baffled because that shouldn't be possible due to lack of atmosphere. One even said, "I don't think it's real."

Has no one read "War of the Worlds"???

Has no one read "War of the Worlds"???

I don't think the Martians will come to Earth and invade--not after they've seen this Winter in Boston.

I don't think our weather will discourage beings used to an average of -80°F, but all the coughing, sneezing, and runny noses should scare them off if they know what's good for them.

Has anyone else ever wondered what a Fleet Foxes cover of the "Where oh where are you tonight" song from Hee Haw would sound like?

No, but I'm wondering it now.

Where oh where are you tonight

Why did you leave me here all alone?

I searched the world over and thought I found true love

You met another and pthhb you was gone!

Great. Why am I wasting neuron capacity remembering that stupid song instead of, say, all the Presidents in order.

Oh, god, it's in my head . . .

You don't need to remember all the Presidents in order, you just need to remember where, for example, your keys are. So turn all those TV theme songs we are cluttering our brains up with into mnemonic devices for finding our keys.

I remember THREE Hee-Haw songs, and now they are ALL in my head.

Does anyone remember the songs from the episode of Gilligan's Island where they did a musical version of Hamlet?

I ask to be, or not to be
That is the question that I ask of thee

Neither a borrower or lender be
Do not forget, stay out of debt
