We all have those days when we can't get a song out of our heads but today has been one of those few days when I can't get a word out of my head. That word is..."milk-toast." God knows why it's in my head but it keeps popping up. A little while ago the word was "recalcitrant," which, let's face it, is kind of an awesome word. Other examples have been amiable, insipid, and Irondequoit (which I know is a city, but it's just so darn fun to say). My solution for getting a particularly annoying song out of my head is to sing "The Banana Boat Song" instead, but I have yet to find a remedy for eradicating a word out of my noggin. That reminds me, "eradicate" gets stuck in my head too. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem?
The only reason I can think why this happens is because I read an inordinate amount of books. Notice the words "mouse" or "chew" don't get stuck in my head--it's the SAT words that stick. I'm not going to be modest, my vocabulary is quite expansive, but could this be the reason why these multi-syllabic words get stuck and don't leave? I may never know, but at least I can sing "The Banana Boat Song" in a last-ditch attempt to erase my milk-toast mind of all crazy words...
Come Mr. Tally Man, tally me bananas,
Daylight come and me want to go home!

Top 5 Activities More Exciting Than Work Training
While I haven't done any of the below activities, I'm convinced they HAVE to be more exciting (and productive) than training on new systems for your job.
1. Arm wrestling an elephant
2. Shoveling dog poo
3. Cleaining a toilet with a toothbrush
4. 1000 jumping jacks
5. Watch billiards for 24 hours straight
The one activity that does not beat sitting through training is sitting through a 'Twilight' movie.

Top 5 Justifiable Disney Lawsuits
So we all know that Disney is an evil corporation bent on sucking your soul from your body. Well, maybe not your soul, but definitely your money. We all know this, yet we keep going to their theme parks. DANG THEM and their awesome parks! Anyway, here are five Disney lawsuits that were justifiably filed against La Disney.
1. After a visitor was trapped on "It's a Small World" for 40 minutes, they began legal proceedings against Disney.
2. A visitor rode Tower of Terror 50 times in one day and Disney decided to ban her. Apparently this visitor had done it more than once and Disney did NOT want their guests to have too much fun.
3. After a Sikh employee was not allowed to wear their turban, he sued Disney for racial prejudice.
4. After their child fell off a Disney moat ride, their parents sued Disney for $1.5 million over safety measures.
5. After a Monorail crash in 2009 led to the death of her son, the mother sued Disney for wrongful death.
