Not to be confused with @Treebeard ’s thread “Serious Random Posts, but I’m sitting here this morning watching Gladiator for the umpteenth time when suddenly I hear Peter Graves’ voice. He’s asking me “Cover, do you like movies about Gladiators?”

You guys ever experience anything like this?

@cover2 -Most of the experiences I have imagined dealt with sex or wealth, or the lack thereof. By the way cowboy, James Arness was Peter Graves brother.

I have the wealth / sex thoughts also, though more of the former and less of the latter as I get older for some reason. I believe I had heard Graves and Arness were brothers. Used to watch him in Mission Impossible years ago. Not a bad show, but it wasn’t a patch compared to Gunsmoke. A good day off nowadays usually involves TVLand and Gunsmoke after lunch.

Send a wedding invite to every billionaire you can find an address for, as there’s a good chance their assistants just send you a gift without ever confirming who you are or if their boss knows you.


The biggest secret parents keep from their kids is that no one actually has any idea what’s going on and everyone is just making it up as they go along.

A big sign of growing up is when you realise that 100 dollars is both a lot and not a lot of money.


You know you’ve become an adult when you realise that sleep is a reward not a punishment.


No matter how old you are, Tom and Jerry will always bring back childhood memories.

Reading “!!!!!” is like trying to scream with no mouth.


Dating is wondering why someone is single, then figuring it out.


You need a decent amount of intelligence to realize that you are stupid.

Sometimes, when I'm walking along a sidewalk with a curb, I like to walk on just the curb and pretend that it's the only thing to walk on and I'm 1000 feet in the air. I'm really good at staying on a curb 1000 feet in the air, but the few times I've fallen and screamed loudly, the other people in the parking lot look at me like I'm weird.

An old friend back in high school once asked “do you think Jack the Ripper ever had a copycat serialist called Rip the Jacker?”

Stephen Wright is obviously the king of standup with dry one liners. But, Mitch Hedberg is similar:

This is correct. Graves was born Peter Aurness and used Graves, a family name, as a stage name so as not to be confused with his older brother. (James dropped the "u" and changed it to "Arness.")

Dating is similar to the idea that if you keep shoving your hand into a bag of broken glass and razor blades, eventually you will find the piece of candy hidden somewhere in the bag.

Making a pretty girl laugh is like that first morning in October when the humidity is low and the cool air makes you want to run like you did when you were nine.
