If you put a potato in a microwave oven and press the pizza button, it
still comes out a potato. Works the same with choosing your gender.

So, c'mon man, look, there's literally more than just, like, one pair
of those out there, you know?

Which reminds me: Has anyone else noticed that more and more people -
men and women - in the media are starting to talk like Valley girls?

Now, every story requires the appropriate presentation and tone of voice. So you get chirpy happy voices for happy stories and sad faces and sad intonation for sad stories. Local news requires that everyone acts like they are all part of one big happy family. And those dresses. The lady newscasters are mostly wearing various versions of the same single color, baggy dress. The details change, but the basic design stays the same. The dresses look like they were made to work well with green screen effects. The women often end up looking like they're all clones from the same factory.

Not so around these parts. Several times I've been tempted to send the
Seattle weather women a can or two of spray paint so that they could
change the color of whatever paint they're currently wearing. The good
thing is you can't have a wardrobe malfunction when your wardrobe comes
from a spray can.
