This site provides a nice resource for weird holidays and observances. (Did you know that August is National Get Acquainted with Zespri New Zealand Kiwi Fruit Month? Or that January 3rd is Memento Mori "Remember You Die" Day?)
And here's another person who has found a creative use for spam. He uses the subject lines of spam as inspiration for "poorly-drawn [sic] cartoons."
I really want a cigarette.
Not really. I don't smoke and I never have. But that's my new joke here at work. Susan and I are both on diets, so when I have the urge to go down the vending machine, I have to tell her so she can stop me (and vice versa). However, it's kinda mean for me to say, "I really really want a Snickers candy bar," b/c then she might want a Snickers too. So I just tell her I want a cigarette. And right now, I really really want a cigarette. Sigh.
So far I've cheated a little on my diet (b/c I was starving!), but I didn't cheat with sweets. Right now, that's the important thing--to cut out sweets cold turkey as if I were quitting cigarettes. I told Bob (hubby) last week that I wish they made patches for dieters, like nicotine patches. I need a doughnut patch and a chocolate patch and an ice cream patch.
Downloaded some really cool Spider-Man wallpaper here. I picked the scene where Spidey has swooped in to rescue Mary Jane.
Someone stole Michael Moore's cap! Undoubtedly, the perpetrator is a member of the vast right-wing conspiracy against him.
Hmmm, Bradbury's pissed. So here we have it. Proof that not all is wrong in the universe.
Moore's not worried, though. Pshaw! Who cares if the title of "Fahrenheit 9/11" might be a form of plagerism? Moore has more important things to worry about, like the vast right-wing conspiracy to malign his docu-op-ed piece and ruin his "good" reputation.
...when asked about Lewinsky affair. Pakistan's Daily Times reports the same thing. But why in the world would that make the former prez so snippity?
BBC Washington correspondent Justin Webb says this indicates the difference between this interview and the bland questions Mr Clinton has faced during recent interviews in the US, where former presidents are treated with a degree of reverence.As for Clinton's memoir, which is what has prompted his reemergence into the spotlight, the New York Times calls it "sloppy, self-indulgent and often eye-crossingly dull." Therefore, it's guaranteed to sell a million copies.
In Babycenter.com's article, Baby shower planning and etiquette, they encourage you to ignore the traditional advice about who should throw the baby shower--and the traditional (formal) advice is that "someone who's not a relative must throw the shower to avoid having it look as though the family is asking for presents." This baffles and amazes me. I've always assumed it was the job of a sister, sister-in-law, etc. to throw the shower. I'm throwing my best friend's shower, but I only agreed after I knew for sure her sister couldn't do it. I agree. Ignore Miss Manners.
Peter's Evil Overlord List is worth a look. It's the "Top 100 Things I'd Do if I Were an Evil Overlord" (or something like that). One of my favorites: If an advisor says to me, "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?" I will reply, "This," and kill the advisor. (Number 46)
