I didn’t get a chance to write a post last night. I got up early to try and write one this morning, but that didn’t work out. I now have four minutes. It’s do or die time. Write a post or skip yet another day.
Okay, just as an experiment, let’s see what I can do in four minutes. First, I need a topic.
It’s “Leftovers” day, so … hmmm … anything goes. Let’s Google something for “Random Topic Generator”. Hang on…
Okay, first one got me this hit, “A synchronized proxy network for a high-level functional toolkit.” And only two minutes to go, if you can believe this small bit of writing already sucked up half the allotted time. Now for the post!
The other day I was at work and someone came into my office to talk about a synchronized proxy network for a high-level functional toolkit. I asked, “Okay, so what about this synchronized proxy network? Do you think it will work for a high-level functional toolkit?” My coworker replied, “Of course it will. It will also work for low-level non-functional toolkits as well. It can’t be beat.”
I thought to myself for a while and decided that instead of synchronized proxy networks, what we really needed was a trip to the vending machine for several fun-size bags of Cheez-Its. Because if someone ever comes up to you and asks you, “Functional toolkit or Cheez-Its?” you know what the right answer is.
Dang it. That’s four minutes. Time’s up!
I knew this was a bad idea…

Any post that mentions Cheez-Its is a good post!

You must be talented. Even your rushed posts are funny!!!

I was entertained too Charlie!
I’m glad my vending machine at work doesn’t have cheeze its, I’d be thinking of them all day!

How about a cheesy tool?
Where’s your weigh in this week Mr Hills?

Sorry, but “weigh in” coincided with “day off” this week. Don’t worry, I’m not hiding anything. In fact, I even lost 1.1 pounds last week. (There’s your spoiler for next Monday’s post.)

Y’know, I hate the small bags of things being called “fun size”. I think if it were up to me, fun size would be the big costco size bags. That’s much more fun than 5 chips or 10 m and ms…
And I agree, I like the rushed posts too! You, sir, are talented!

I agree. “Fun sized” items should be ginormous. The things marketers call “fun sized” are what I like to call “torture sized.” I’d rather have nothing than a teaser bag.

Not bad for 4 minutes.
I never think about Cheez-Its!!
I think about chocolate and pizza!

I actually don’t like Cheez-Its. I’m prepared for ye olde wrath and disdain. =(
