All Turn-y Button Things Lie...

"...but the only position we're interested in is the position between (holds up fingers) there...and...there. One nano-millimeter between extremely [bleep]ing hot, and fantasticly freezing!" (Eddie Izzard in Glorious)

Does anyone have a shower head that doesn't "lie"? Take my shower, for example. For the first couple minutes, the only way I could get anything close to lukewarm water is by turning the knob all the way to Hot. A couple minutes later, though, the water becomes unbearably hot, and the only way to get back to warm water is to turn the knob all the way to Cold. By then, all the hot water is used up, and I can't get warm water again for a while.

By the way, Krunk notified me that the Turkish lira, which was once so weak that 1,000,000 lira was worth about a buck, is no longer the official currency of Turkey. Apparently they now use a "new" lira, (1 new lira = 1,000,000 old lira). I used to offer people 1,000,000 turkish lira to do favors for me, and I suggested that somebody should tape a Turkish version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" It's a good thing I stopped cracking that joke...

Some more random-ness:
- Did anyone catch that televised Pop Warner football game yesterday? Wait...was that the Raiders??? What's amazing is that, despite their awful performance yesterday, I don't believe the Raiders are even the worst team in the league!
- Further proof that this Fantasy Football season is ridiculous: the team that was in last place in my league--he started the season a whopping 0-6--is all of a sudden tied for 6th, and only two games behind me for the last playoff spot with four to play! What's worse is that his schedule is much more forgiving than mine, and he could theoretically win out while I lose out (case in point, I am depending on Jon Kitna--Lions' QB--and Anthony Thomas--Bills' RB and a non starter for years--to carry my team this week) ! Of course, it helps that he has LaDainian Tomlinson, the LeBron James of Fantasy Football.
