War of the Roses

So today my wife decides she's going to plant some new flowers in our spacious 4 ft by 4 ft backyard. I'm thinking this involves just a quick trip to Lowes. How wrong could I have been???

What began as a simple trip to Lowe's turned into the errand trip from H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks. First, we're off to Lowe's, then to Target, then to Tuesday Morning, then to ANOTHER Target, then BACK to Tuesday Morning....and finally home. It was a fine example of good ole American consumerism (Die Commies!!!)

Anyways...enough ranting...that's all for today...

To Dork or Not to Dork...That is the Question.

Yeah, so Jared thinks he's funny by posting our dorky e-mail conversation. I could launch into a tirade about the lameness of such an act, but I find myself looking at the larger issue of Dork-ness. What does being a "dork" really mean? To find the true meaning, I think one must break down the word into it's two integral parts. First, we have "do". For those of you not well-versed in the English language, this is what we call a VERB. "Do" simply means to commit, to perform, or to execute. Now that we have mastered the first part of "dork", we must look at the second part of the word, "rk". Aside from being an abbreviation for radial keratotomy, "rk" clearly has no definite meaning. In other words, when you combine "do" and "rk", you are left with the following meaning:

DORK: (dôrk)

1. (verb) to commit an act of utter meaninglessness
2. (noun) one who commits an act of utter meaninglessness


If you have read this far into the post, please be aware that the last five minutes or so that it took you to read all this will be five minutes that you will never get back in your entire lifetime. They have been completely wasted reading the ramblings of a self-proclaimed dork...but at least now you know what the word means.

Until next time...

Inaugural posting

Hello out there...this is the first ever Cooper blog. We used to make fun of all our friends who had blogs and told ourselves that we would NEVER do this. Now here we are...

The first words out of Rebecca's mouth when she saw was I was doing were, "You've sold out!!!" Yes, I have sold out...I have succumbed to all the momentous peer pressure of our blogging friends. Oh well....chalk one up for conformity.

So yeah, that's about it...be sure to look for fun stuff in the future from us. I warn you in advance...Rebecca and I have a VERY strange sense of humor. Don't feel strange if you don't get a particular joke that we post...it's probably just something for us to laugh about. If you're really good, we might clue you in one day.
