Hey, you! » Science http://oldsillybear.com You live and learn. At any rate, you live. ~Douglas Adams Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:32:47 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 Unconscious Mutterings http://oldsillybear.com/2011/01/19/unconscious-mutterings-7/ http://oldsillybear.com/2011/01/19/unconscious-mutterings-7/#comments Wed, 19 Jan 2011 16:25:46 +0000 Ben http://oldsillybear.com/?p=4501 I used to do these religiously. Well, not really, but at least more routinely. It’s been a while.

For anyone not familiar, it’s a free association game played each week and you can find it here. This is week 416.

The rules? There are no rules.

So, here:

  1. Bootie :: call
  2. User :: friendly
  3. Child :: adult
  4. Scribe :: the King probably has one
  5. Manager :: on duty
  6. Upsetting :: the applecart
  7. Puddles :: a good name for a dog
  8. Hopeful :: me
  9. Procrastination :: also me
  10. Statistics :: lies and damn lies

We shop for two hours in the midst of engineering and design innovation – things that open and close smoothly, interesting finishes, neat designs.

I had to visit the restroom, and guess what? The same boring metal stalls that are in a million restaurants and truck stops. And it was too small, so I had a stainless toilet paper holder digging into my hip while I tried to go.

But they did have a Dyson hand dryer, that was pretty awesome.

Later that day, we’re at a shopping center that has a sign that says “come see our sparkling clean restrooms.” Guess what? They were sparkling, and clean.

Sorry, I don’t have pictures of any of this stuff. Maybe next time.

You cannot teach people anything. You can only help them to discover it within themselves.
