Funny Bone

Another is a long series of diversions

Weird, I’m a book I’ve never read. Will have to put that on my to-read list.

You’re The Mists of Avalon! by Marion Zimmer Bradley
You’re obsessed with Camelot in all its forms, from Arthurian legend to the Kennedy administration. Your favorite movie from childhood was "The Sword in the Stone". But more than tales of wizardry and Cuban missiles, you’ve focused on women. You know that they truly hold all the power. You always wished you could meet Jackie Kennedy.

Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.

It might be the drugs

Yes, it’s the end of the year sinus infection complete with a slight fever which means I’ve been on the couch most of the day.

I’m not sure if it’s the fever, or the antibiotics, or just the degradation of brain cells that comes with many hours of exposure to television but I’m fascinated by the Arby’s Oven Mitt. It walks, it talks, it sings, and the latest is a parody of Titantic Oven Mit Post-it Note

It makes me smile, and sometimes that’s enough.

It’s infectious

You know, if you’re happy and you walk around with a big, dopey grin on your face most of the people you pass will smile back at you, and genuinely smile not that pinched, sarcastic "yeah, right" smile you so often see on the faces of city dwellers.

At least, this is what today’s lab experiment tells me.

What does it say…

…when you’re getting most of your positive reenforcement from your spam?

At work I get about 100 spam e-mails a day. Everything from View C.h.i.l.d P0rn0 N0w to the ever popular Viagra and Diet Pills prescribed online!

Today I received at least a dozen e-mails with the subject lines:
You are so great!
and
You will be happy!

Sad to say, they brightened my day if only the most miniscule amount.

Most inventive spam subject line of the week:
Warp Drive Generator Patented!

How cool would that be? <wink>

Unbidden thoughts from someone else’s brain

Sometimes you just run across something on the internet that makes you sit back and say “Now how the hell did they think that up?” One such concept comes from The Brunching Shuttlecocks and their unique way of helping to support arts on the internet.
