Where Your Taxes Go?

Quick Poll

If you're listening to music right now (by choice or otherwise) what is it?

Just wondering.




I'm listening to Alexander "znooQ" Kunz's track, Expansion.


In ogg vorbis format, of course.

:-)

Sadly,

It's the End Of The Middle Ages Day. Though I thought they ended hundreds of years ago, perhaps I was mis-informed.


So goodbye Middle Ages, hello Brave New World.


:-)

YES!

Today (the 28th) is a National holiday so very little work will be done, and it's also National Hamburger Day!


In honor, just an excerpt from Jimmy Buffet:


Cheeseburger in paradise
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise


:-) Mmmmmmmm.

Die! Die! Die!

I wish there were something that would eat These Little Bastards, as they have become the bane of my existance lately. Bug spray even seems to attract them.

(grumbles to himself, swearing under his breath)

Somebody Gets It

Too bad more of us don't.

Too bad more of us don't listen to those who understand.

Calls

You call me when you're lonely or bored.

You call me when things don't go right or someone makes you angry.

When you're sad or just sleepy.

Anything bad, no matter how big or small.





And that means the world to me.

My Immortal

It took me just long enough to pick which version of this song to link that *today* is Buy-A-Musical-Instrument Day.

Okay, it doesn't have to be a piano.

And Another

Always Liked This

It's About Time For Some...

Mercutio- "O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.

She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes

In shape no bigger than an agate stone

On the forefinger of an alderman,

Drawn with a team of little atomies

Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep;

Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs,

The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers;

Her traces, of the smallest spider's web;

Her collars, of the moonshine's wat'ry beams;

Her whip, of cricket's bone; the lash, of film;

Her wagoner, a small grey-coated gnat,

Not half so big as a round little worm

Prick'd from the lazy finger of a maid;

Her chariot is an empty hazelnut,

Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,

Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers.

And in this state she 'gallops night by night

Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;

O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on cursies straight;

O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees;

O'er ladies' lips, who straight on kisses dream,

Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues,

Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are.

Sometime she gallops o'er a courtier's nose,

And then dreams he of smelling out a suit;

And sometime comes she with a tithe-pig's tail

Tickling a parson's nose as 'a lies asleep,

Then dreams he of another benefice.

Sometimes she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,

And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,

Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,

Of healths five fadom deep; and then anon

Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,

And being thus frighted, swears a prayer or two

And sleeps again. This is that very Mab

That plats the manes of horses in the night

And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish, hairs,

Which once untangled much misfortune bodes

This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,

That presses them and learns them first to bear,

Making them women of good carriage.

This is she-
"
Romeo- "Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace!

Thou talk'st of nothing.
"
Mercutio- "True, I talk of dreams;

Which are the children of an idle brain,

Begot of nothing but vain fantasy;

Which is as thin of substance as the air,

And more inconstant than the wind, who wooes

Even now the frozen bosom of the North

And, being anger'd, puffs away from thence,

Turning his face to the dew-dropping South."

When Movies Were...

"Here's looking at you kid."

Say What?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the leader of the free world.

Tomorrow Is

Wear Purple For Peace Day.

Interestingly, two days later all that peace ends with Visit Your Relatives Day.

Knot What I Had In Mind

I was going to link a video here, but YouTube seemed to be MIA when I was deciding which Leonard Cohen song to use.

Oh, well, in an effort knot to leave you stranded, I give you THIS

Golly

Since nobody wants to play at Limmericks, you should all know that tomorrow is National Dance Like A Chicken Day.

Dance, Mailman!


:-)

Get Ready! (Drum Roll Please)

Tomorrow is Limerick Day!

Get those raunchy rhymes warmed up people. :-)


I'll get things started.


The was a young man from Eau Claire
Who was loving his girl on the stair
On the 46th stroke
The banister broke
And he finished the job in mid-air.

Nothing Stunning.

Just trying to update the links over there.

If there are any I missed that should be added or subtracted, let me know.


Thanks.


We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

:-)

All Right

What's the dumbest thing you've done so far this week?

So far, I forgot to be someplace I was supposed to and had to be reminded. Organizers only work if you look at them.


Anybody?

Strange Brain

I have one, and it leads me to wonder about esoteric and unusual things sometimes.


If you're blind and you live alone, so you turn lights on after dark for the comfort of the neighbors or just let it go?


If you could pick one thing that would kill you to survive (as in an immunity type thing), what would it be?


Just wondering.

Savage Garden

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

'Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breath again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Is There A Theme?

(start wearing purple...)


:-)

What's Wrong With Real?

EE&V

Eyes
Antiseptic off white and stainless steel.

Ears
Muted voices, strange digital and mechanical sounds of a hospital.

Voice
"Don't give up."


"I never do."

Tomorrow Is

National Candied Orange Peel Day.

Then it's National Hoagie Day.

And we finish the week with Beverage Day.


Welcome to the Food Nation, where you can get an entire French Silk Pie at a drive through window without getting out of your car.

April Fool's Day

So let's have it. Do your worst.
Or just share your best pranks of past Aprils.

Me, I'm looking forward to the 3rd when it's Don't Go To Work Unless It's Fun Day.

I think there should be more than one of those in a year.

:-)
