Laws and Bylaws of Knitting

  1. I need to quit my job so I have more time to knit.
  2. I need to keep my job so I can afford to buy yarn.
  3. Stash is good.
  4. Sock yarn does not count as stash.
  5. Yarn for baby stuff does not count as stash.
  6. There's always someone with more stash than you, so don't feel bad about your stash.
  7. Yeah, I knit in public. You gotta problem with that?
  8. Whenever possible, a knitter doesn't drive; a knitter is driven so she can knit while in the car.

Some of The Man's Unfortunate Traits

  1. Cluelessness. Hey! You! I have a blog! Just like last week! And just like last month! Read it! This means, of course, that I can say stuff about him and he won't know unless I remind him to read the blog.
  2. An annoying combination of utter forgetfulness and a Rain-Man-like capacity for sports and political trivia recall. Can he hang up his coat? No. Can he remember to take his shirts to the cleaners before he completely runs out? Often, no. Where did he put Tiki's harness? No. Have you seen his shoes? No. How many electoral votes did Bob Dole get in 1996, and from which states? Yes.
  3. He pretends he can't hear. Most questions, I have to ask twice before I get any kind of response. He's in his own world.
  4. He tends not to actually answer the question. I'm a lawyer. I want you to answer the question I actually asked. Do not speculate as to what I want to know and try to answer that (unasked) question. Your Honor, move to strike as nonresponsive. Your honor, will you please direct the witness to answer the question with a yes or a no? Okay, maybe half of this is my fault.

Pieces Parts

What Chicken McNuggets are made of, according to a competitor, circa 1982. If you watch enough TV, you can eventually develop an entire language of references from old shows and commercials that no one but you and your imaginary friend understand.

Parts is parts.

UGO

Unidentified Ground Object. From the comic strip "Get Fuzzy." Satchel the dog (he's Canadian) frequently eats UGOs. They are nearly all edible, but just because they are edible doesn't mean they are food. If they aren't food, Satchel finds out when he gets rumbly in the tumbly, as he puts it.
