It's been ages since I did one of these. Last time that happened, the post went on forever. I haven't counted the entries here, but I bet it's a long one. Enjoy. Or skip. :lol
- Santas in the US are engaged in a civil war. Because nothing spreads the Christmas spirit faster than fisticuffs.
- Ultimate Irony: an Austrian man in jail for having imprisoned his daughter for 24 years is seeking release from prison because he "can't stand being cooped up." Now that's audacious.
- Silver linings: good news about high gas prices. Seems reductions in traffic deaths correlate statistically to higher gas prices. Yea, inflation! Still, not everything is rosy. Road rage is being supplanted by desk rage. Angry people can't afford to drive anymore.
- Like your curry hot? Time for a trip to London. I hope local hospitals are prepared for the pandemic "diarrhea of fire" that looms on the horizon.
- Solid Copper is greeted early each morning by the loud singing of a vocal bird. Very early. Very vocal. Happily this blackbird lives on another continent. Check out the video - it's really something.
- So this guy goes to Church and is overwhelmed by the spirit of God. It's Tennessee, and it happens from time to time. He falls and conks his head, and guess who gets sued? Apparently, his fellow churchgoers should have caught him. Or maybe the Church should have foreseen such injury, and put some padding on the floor where spiritial consumption takes place.
- Get your cowsuit, and get down to Chick-Fil-A. Free meals tomorrow (July 11) for those in bovine garb.
- When you can't smuggle drugs in by boat, buy a submarine.
- Nicolas Sarkozy's wife isn't pregnant. It's a beer belly! Hot chicks chugging beer - what's not to like about France?
- One of the perils of piercing. Oy!
- Here are 10 things you might not have known about using a credit card. Pay attention - what you don't know can cost you.
- Rainbow Folders lets windows users create visual cues (color and shape) to help them organize their folders meaningfully. Cool!
- Search Me is a search engine that provides search results in "pages" - like an iPhone. It's cool. Use the slider at the bottom to scroll through results. I don't know how their results stack up next to my favorites (like Google and Clusty), but their presentation is pretty neat. I used "reslts" too often, but I'm too lazy to go rework this paragraph.
- The appropriately named Pamela Slim tells you how to avoid late night snacking.
- If you are running Windows, Microsoft has a free thumb drive backup program for you.
- Google Labs now has a tool that lets you create a chatroom in your browser. You can embed one on a web page, too. It's Lively.
- Pictomo gives you a nifty interface for image management. It's NOT an image manipulation tool. It's a viewer, and metadata manager. It has some flashy features, too.
- DIY:
- It's summertime, and there is no better drink than fresh lemonade. Here are some ways to amp it up a bit.
- Want to save money? Vacuum pack dried foods (and fresh foods, for the matter). Want to save more? Build your own vacuum packer.
- Reading the paper on the bus or train? Here's how to fold it for optimal usability. It probably would server you well in the bathroom too, Ripp.
- If you hate those cards that grocery stores give you as much as I do, you'll appreciate this use that helps you organize your cords and cables.
- DBabbit has fire ants. Here's how-to get rid of them And another how-to get rid of them. I hope it works!
- If you're eating fresh foods, here are the best of the best. If you aren't, these are the foods you should start with.
- If you've been complaining to companies for their shoddy products or service via email or telephone, here are some good reasons you should write a letter, instead.
- If you smoke, here's what it costs you.

No ambulance birds though
The fact that I can laugh about it is proof I'm not lying

Well, good morning! It's past my bedtime, so I will be off very soon!

♦ Curry Sphincter: The New Burning Ring of Fire!
♦ Anyone who'd sue a church for something like that had better be wearing asbestos undies when they kick the bucket.
♦ Hoorah for Microsoft!
♦ I want to move to France so I am surrounded by my peers: Beer chugging broads with beer guts!
♦
♦ I'm still on the raw foods diet...although it's not a diet at this point. It's a "way of life"...which just happens to be a cliché I hate.
♦ I'll definitely have to do some of that DIY stuff once we're all settled in. I cannot wait!

Karen:
SAINT PETER: Name?
MATT LINCOLN: Matt Lincoln.
SP (frowning): Ah, Yeah...
ML: Is there a problem?
SP: See, here's the deal... You sued the Church. God kinda frowns on that, you know?
ML: Gosh, I'm sorry! I had no idea that was a deal breaker!
SP: Security!!

The only problem with this raw food thing is that the chicken is really stringy.

Nope. Yep. I'm not sure how to answer that.

Well, I hear you get a much better deal in Purgatory anyway. A lot more slutty babes than in Heaven. And you can smoke.
