Just Had A Thought

I know, you can smell wood burning. :-)

I was just adding GothCat to my links over there and I had a thought. If the whole bunch of us who read each other's blogs ever got together in one place at the same time, strangers would probably think it was some creepy secret society and wonder what we were up to.

I like that idea. Now all we need are a name, a logo, a secret handshake, and a password. :-)

Update

The comment problems seem to be mostly resolved, though not through my efforts. (J-hope you don't get too much spam)

And the other problem is cured. There was this nasty little mutant cookie that was causing the problem. I'm happy to say I finally found it and eliminated it with extreme prejudice.

Sometimes it works out allright.

Crappy Crappy Blogger

I still can't comment on some blogs because the word verification thing is broken. I submitted a report, but no movement yet. I have another account and blog on the new version and I can't even log into that one. The sign in page just keeps looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, looping, it's really kind of annoying.

Maybe they'll fix it one day. Maybe I'll have to look for another place to put that other blog. Thus ends the rant for today.

Check One

Today is National Egg Nog Day
Tomorrow is National Pumpkin Pie Day (I think it might be Christmas too)
Tuesday is National Whiners Day
Wednesday is National Fruitcake Day
And Thursday is National Chocolate Day

So I guess it really should be "Season's Eatings".






(22,56926 - now it has to run the gauntlet and come back for tweaking - soon though.)

Lame Excuse

I'd blog more and better, but I've got a lot of projects going. Most people take time from work, relax, and celebrate with relatives and friends this time of year, but I'm working on migrating some sites and maybe setting up a whole new thing. Oh, and finishing a book. We'll see how it all goes.

Sorry

There are blogs I'd have commented on already, but for some reason the word verification thing doesn't show me the picture of the letters I'm supposed to copy. So, I haven't forgotten or been ignoring anyone, blogger has been confused.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

A Connection?

Tomorrow is both

Look At The Bright Side Day

and

Hamburger Day.

Anybody else see the tie-in here?

:-)

Bad Puns

Does anybody think a virgin birth is inconceivable?

A man who farts in church sits in his own pew.

He who crosses the street carelessly gets that run down feeling.

And don't even get me started on the egg yolks.
Some people egg-shell-y don't find them funny.
I don't egg-zactly understand why.
Personally, they crack me up.


Just remember, two thirds of a pun is PU.



Sorry. :-)

Resolutions, Not

Before anybody asks, I don't make New Years resolutions. I feel like I shouldn't make changes for the better based on a day, just keep making it a part of regular life. Attaching them to an event just makes it easy to let them slide past as the day recedes. You have to live with these things if you want them to matter and improve.



Tomorrow is Oatmeal Muffin Day.

5 Things

Stuff you may not know. Jade put me up to it.

1. I've been out of the country but never off the continent.

2. I'm alergic to tobacco smoke, certain kind of burning tree leaves, and most of the scents they put in candles and air fresheners.

3. I'm single, never married, no kids.

4. I'm 6'-1" (185cm) tall, weigh 265 lbs (120kg), have blue eyes, red in my beard, and if you follow my heritage far enough back you'll find long-ships, axes, and Vikings (probably from the fjords of Norway)

5. I sink like a stone in water.

Lacey things, the wife is missin'
Didn't ask for her permission
I'm wearin' her clothes, her silk pantyhose
Walking 'round in women's underwear

In the store, there's a teddy
With little straps like spaghetti
It holds me so tight, like handcuffs at night
Walking 'round in women's underwear

In the office there's a guy named Melvin
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He'll say, "Are you ready?", I'll say, "Wooohh man!
Just wait until the wife is out of town..."

Later on, if you wanna
We can dress like Madonna
Put on some eyeshade, and join the parade
Walking 'round in women's underwear

Lacey things, missing
Didn't ask, permission
Wearing her clothes, silk pantyhose
Walking 'round in women's underwear...

Walking 'round in women's underwear...
Walking 'round in women's underwear!

Which Is...

More scary, Vampires or Zombies?

More fun, Jello or Marshmallows?

More boring, Lawyers or Politicians?

More exciting, Your Birthday or New Year's?



Just wondering.

If You're Bored

Go Here and play flash games. I had fun with Bowman2 and Bill the Demon, though I couldn't seem to run McDonalds very well.

Have fun!

Today Is

National Ding-A-Ling Day. I guess those of you in other countries are safe.

And tomorrow is Ice Cream and Violins Day. I've never tried to eat a violin, I always thought chocolate, sprinkles, fruit, and such went better with ice cream. I'll have to see if anybody serves this around here so I can just have a taste, I don't think I can eat a whole violin.
:-)

I Think I'll Join Up

The Dull Men's Club
I think it might be fun. Oh, darn. The whole point is not to have fun. Now I have to wait a month before I can try again.

EE&V

Eyes
Stars overhead, rock to one side, 700 feet of blackness below
Ears
The wind takes away anything that isn't tied to the anchor
Voice
"I thought you said you loved me."

"I lied. It's much worse than that."

No Good Title

If it wasn't late and 3 degrees (-17C) outside, I'd go get a nice juicy burger with some cheese on it. Maybe I'll find time for that tomorrow.


Yesterday (half an hour ago) was Pearl Haror Day here in the US. It's the anniversary of the Japanese attack on our Naval Base at Pearl Harbor signifying our entry into WWII, ultimately ending in the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It used to be we waited until there was really no other choice than to go to war. These days...I really hope there'll be some kind of worthwhile resolution to the current mess we're in in Iraq.


Tomorrow (the 9th) is National Pastry Day. We don't have one of those restaurants that serves burgers on Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Darn it.

What Do I Know

You were once my vice
Now you're just like ice
So cold and too cool
You know how to hypnotize
You wear a great disguise
I've learned to see through

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

I don't see wrong from right
But I could see the light
Stopped shining in you
And on a distant night
You went and lost the fight
That made me look up to you

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

What do I know
What do I know
I'm confused by the things that you do
What do I know
What do I know
I can't stop thinking about you

A Moment Of Silence

"We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death." -David Sarnoff


One of my local friends lost someone close yesterday. Not someone I knew, really, and at a pretty advanced age, so it wasn't shocking, but it's still hard for some people.

Godspeed.

Late

Tomorrow is Mitten Tree Day.
And National Gazpacho Day.

I assume they mean the soup and not the rock band from Norway.


Sorry for the short post, but it's late and I need sleep.

All Your Base

I don't know that any of you will find This as funny as I do, but here you go. (WoWgirl, are you listening?)


Tomorrow is Wear Brown Shoes Day.

I don't think I have any brown shoes.

Idiots?

What makes people think that front weheel drive or (worse yet) four wheel drive makes them invincible? I saw a lot of stupid stuff going on today that seems to support this theory.

4WD SUVs stuck in parking lots because they thought they could get out as easily as in.

Others sliding all the way across the street making left turns because it never occured to them to slow the hell down for traction.

I even got to watch one guy try to get his girlfriend's car out of a parking space by standing on the gas. He didn't actually hit the car parked next to it, but he tried mightily.

Are they idiots? Or did a really huge number of people move here from someplace warm this year?
