When I moved into my new apartment, it was pretty apparent we needed a new showerhead. The old one was missing its middle piece, producing one awkward powerful stream. Now I switch the showerhead, which took much effort, and I get a weak little piddle. WTF AGGRAVATION.

Um, changing a showerhead really isn't all that much more difficult than changing a lightbulb.

No one wants to know what someone from Arkansas thinks about indoor plubing.

Indoors?

My cat loves to destroy toilet paper rolls. We should really move the litterbox out from right next to it.

The old showerhead didn't have a hexagonal bolt, just a round connector that was once gnurled, but had been stripped of any grip it had years ago. And I don't have any tools.

I don't think I've ever, even once, regretted buying a tool. A nice pair of vice grips will come in handy for all kinds of jobs.

Jobs that involve vice grips, pliers, and wrenches don't intimidate nearly as much as jobs that involve hammers and saws.

Well, I've got some vice grips now, and the showerhead is changed, and for a reason neither me nor my roommate can figure out, our situation is worse. I think if I tried to build a deck, I'd end up with a sandbox.

since you had just moved in, couldnt you have just bitched to the landlord about it?

I don't want him to see our cat. And I thought changing a showerhead was pretty easy.

Well then try to build a sandbox.

My dry cleaner's daughter is home from college for the summer and they put her to work.

Consider this an offer to take your stuff to the cleaners. Deliveries: Every day.

The girl is a 9.7 out of 10.

*NSYNC needs to get back together, and quick.

One of the responsibilities of a parent is to teach children proper table manners. So I wonder if David Haselhoff teaches his children proper "floor manners."

Dude seriously

Woody is ten times funnier than I'll ever be. I am amazed and in awe of his quick wit.
