THE DAILY TOP LIST

A couple of months ago, I did an item on googling a person's name in google images. I featured a first grader's drawing of JRap. I promised to put up more, but I never did. Until today. I googled every body's name in The Gene Pool Nation and picked a top five random photos accompanying a member's name. It was fun.

5) Lisa.
The photo is called bloody hands.

I dare you to come over to Tina's house and pull this stunt.

4) Chuck.
Under the title: County Road sign.

This is in Arkansas. I wonder if Chuck were to visit there, if they would make him a king.

3) Greg and Kevin.
From their roommate days at Southeastern.

My goal was to find random pictures and not of the specific people, but I couldn't resist this one. Look how cute they look together in their new dorm room. A little too happy if you ask me.

2) Lopes.
From a chick boot camp, I think.

There's Lopes' namesake shouting instructions at some worn-out girls. Ease up, Lopes. Geez. Is this how you conduct your basketball practices? Poor kids.

1) Jelly.
I call this the Hot Damn shot.

Looks like Jelly has a secret supermodeling career on the side. Can I get a whistle?

THE TINA CURSING CORNER

From Tuesday's trip to Arabi. On the way home, we approach the St. Claude Bridge. "What a fucking contraption." We have to wait for a boat to pass under. "That's a fucking contraption."

I tell my mom that I'm working on a comparison of Heroes and Lost. I say they are similar shows. "No. They're not. One's on a fucking island. One's with superpowers."

Mom and I are watching one of the final episodes of Season 1 of Lost. She likes Sawyer. "He's got so many fucking nicknames (for people)."

THE GENE POOL DIP (I MEAN TIP) OF THE WEEK

If you're in a public bathroom, don't answer your cell phone. Please. Especially if you're on the toilet. It's just plain rude. And disgusting.

On Friday when I walked in there to take a leak, the dude in the big stall was having a full conversation on his phone. Loudly, too. Bathroom dude: "I'm almost finished in here. When I'm done, I'll meet you on the route."

Gross. Gross. Gross. I don't know who he is, but I hope I never ask to borrow his phone.

PARTING SHOTS
At the beginning of the shift, JRap is curious.

JRap: What's the word?
Brick: The bird.
JRap: Still?
Me: Yeah. Haven't you heard?
Marcus: You want me to show you the bird?

We're talking about Elvis.

Gamby: Elvis died on a treadmill.
About 20 minutes later, Marcus asks Brick to do something work related.
Brick: I'm trying to trim Ted down right now.
Marcus: Good luck. ... Speaking of treadmills.

AGG can't believe a fake headline you typed onto a front page for Fat Tuesday. She didn't realize it until it was printed. Below the pictures of the king and queen of carnival, her headline read: SOME ROYAL HEAD.

Liam: It's good to be the king.
Me: That's what his mugline should say. What's it say under the queen?
Marcus: We Are the Champions.

the one thing that would really have sent the gene pool "over the edge" to greatness yesterday would have been the mention of Alexis Yankowski or Laura Marques on the Genepool...
