As I have been watching the NBA playoffs I have been seeing these commercials for the WNBA. At first I think, “Finally someone is telling the truth about how everyone feels about the WNBA.” Then they pull the old switcheroo on us and say they meant the opposite. It got me thinking about why I watch the NBA and why I get bored at even the thought of watching the WNBA. Apparently I am not alone either, as not many other people find the prospect very exciting. The following are just a couple of the reasons that I will not watch the WNBA.

I heard Dennis Miller say some time ago that Contrarianism is creativity for the untalented. This is a very thought provoking statement and the more I have thought about it the more true it becomes. If someone with no talent wants to create something, whether it is a painting, a poem, a news article or just anything that can be created they many times look at another persons work and say, “I am going to do the opposite”.

“My mailbox is now just a small trash can for the front of my house.”
“If something is an acquired taste, that means it sucks.”

You have to look closely and know how flagpoles work to get this one. Otherwise you will think it is just a flag at half mast. If you still need more of a clue to get it, notice where the top pulley wheel for the flag is. The background is a photo I took and I drew the flag in with my computer machine.

One day as I was driving home from work, my fuel light popped on and I thought, “Super!! Time to go spend my days worth of pay on gasoline.” I looked at the light for a little longer than usual and like doctor Emmett Brown I had a vision in my mind and sketched it out. It may be slightly crude but it accurately reflects how I, and almost everyone else I know, feel about the current state of oil prices.
