The Ones That Made It Through The TinFoil Hat
I have some pretty random thoughts sometimes. Most of you who follow this blog regularly, or those who have access to my medical files, understand that. I’ve mentioned before that I cracked my head open 8 times before I was 6 years old; not just bumps on the head, mind you, but real injuries that required stitches and everything. It’s a shame that none of those bumps or lacerations gave me the opportunity to be the Original George Malley, but I keep banging my head against the wall and gazing skyward for a UFO in hopes that I too can be scary smart, just without the tumor and all. Uh, Oh; did I forget the spoiler alert? Well, the movie was made in 1996, so deal with it. Here’s the best scene of the whole movie: Shoot, Bob!
It’s a great movie, and if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. I think you can even watch the whole thing on You Tube if you don’t mind watching it in 11 different parts and x’ing out all of those annoying ads that pop up down bottom. The main character; George Malley, finds himself in a strange situation: He’s gone from Average Joe to Stephen Hawking in the blink of an eye. After seeing something in the sky, he wakes up with incredible mental capabilities. How cool would that be; I mean, before the CIA busts your door down and sticks you in an Eastern European Research Facility? I think it would be stupendous. Well, after a while I guess it would get pretty lonely. It’d be like you were a 4.0 student in a Pre-K world. Yeah, scratch that; maybe being the smartest guy in the world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. There are plenty of these guys walking the streets of major cities with tinfoil under their stocking caps who will tell you as much. The black helicopters are everywhere, and they’re trying to steal our thoughts. What’s the frequency, Kenneth? With that being said, here’s a list of some of my random tinfoil thoughts. Some of them you may have seen before, others, maybe not.
- My Roomba accidentally docked with my Tom Tom charger. Now I have dirty floors and my GPS gives me 87 routes that all lead back to my driveway.
- If I get Mono and it gets worse, will I have Stereo?
- Once their divorce is final, will Tiger Woods’ wife be the top money winner on the PGA Tour?
- What do you use to hang a mime; imaginary rope?
- If a man named William can also be called Will, Willy, Bill and Billy, why can’t you call him Billiam?
- What does a solo synchronized swimmer synchronize with?
- When Mariah Carey sings “I’ll Be There” is she talking about the all you can eat buffet?
Food for thought.

Your tin foil hat may be on a little too tight.
Now I have another movie to put in my que.
(NukeDad) I think I might have put the shiny side in instead of out-hmm…

Love it. The first one is definitely my favorite.
You’re twisted, my friend. But I like it!
(NukeDad) Twisted is just one of the many services I provide…

I remember this movie.Loved it. I’m thinking I will watch it again and picture NukeDad in the John Travolta role. Now wouldn’t that be funny?
(NukeDad) The look on Brent Spiner’s (Data from Star Trek-Next Generation) face is priceless. Man or woman? What time were they born? Where? I’d play the part if they promise not to make me wear the white disco suit from Saturday Night Fever.

They make heavy grade foil too, much thicker than that cheap take-out restaurant grade stuff.
You might even want to look into copper foil, and even a braided ground lead.
The downside is you can’t make people’s sunglasses spin or concoct super fertilizer while wearing it.
(NukeDad) You’re scaring me Tom; it sounds like the voice of experience in your comment. Are the little green men talking to you too?

Ha! We used to call a kid in grammar school Billiam because we had like five William’s in our class. And as far as #1 goes, I think Apple has an app for that.
(NukeDad) I knew somebody somewhere would HAVE to have used Billiam at some point. Then there was my other friend; Topher.

Funny list, love the Roomba one. I own one and I swear it has a mind of its own….
(NukeDad) They’re a little too Terminator: Salvation for me. I’m afraid if it becomes self aware it may try to vacuum off what little hair I have left on my head.

It bothers me that number one doesn’t seem so far fetched at this point. Maybe I have been watching too many movies though. I will never understand Bill and William.
(NukeDad) It’s the same as all of those “Johns” that prefer to be called “Jack”-that’s not even close. Betsy for Elizabeth has always thrown me too.

Awesome movie and awesome post. It reminds me that no matter how “smart” we are, we always miss the specifics.
(NukeDad) It is a great movie. I liked the way they made you think, and you’re right; we always DO miss the specifics. I think that’s most of our problem today-we’re so worried about appearances and the surface stuff that nobody takes the time to think things through-to get SPECIFIC-whether it’s with our questions OR our thoughts.
