Congratulations are in order

Congratulations, Joel!

Lordy

Two weddings in one year. Financially speaking, we are so screwed.

I really need to rework the lyrics to this song:

In the words of a wordsmith...

Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

And now...

... the older daughter is engaged too.

More funny

One of the funniest things I've ever seen:



Heres the Bingley version.

Too funny

Sing it, Achmed!

Sucks

Just learned that a classmate has died, only 52. Fuck that. He was a good guy.

Foamy Rocks

Indeed.

My daughter the Grammar Nazi

Should have seen this one coming.

So while we're waiting for Daughter Number Two to arrive, I go on a bike ride. Get home, she just pulls into the driveway behind me. We go in the house and the Sainted Bride, who had been watching a recording of her afternoon shows while committing sundry acts of home improvement, says "You have to see the name of this website."

She scans back a bit on the DVD to a commercial for one of those lowlife lawyers scrotes that advertises on afternoon TV. This particular lawyer scrote's website is "WhoCanISue-dot-com".

DNT's first comment, before the expected rant against shysters: "First of all, it should be whom."

This positively defines the phrase "get a life"

The story's apparently a few weeks old but I just saw a bit about it on TV last night.

In Japan, a human married a character from the digital dating simulator Love Plus. One of the betrothed is named Nene Anegasaki, the other is named SAL9000. Guess which one is the human. If you said Nene, you're wrong. SAL9000 is a Japanese man, who fell in love with a video game character he met on his Nintendo DS. In a public ceremony last week Sunday, the two exchanged vows of eternal love and undying battery life. His parents must be so proud.

There are no words.

Oh wait, yes there are. But I'll ignore them an just tweak the guy voted Most Likely to Do Something Like This.

Oh, this is just low

OSWIECIM, Poland – The Nazis' infamous iron sign declaring "Arbeit Macht Frei" — German for "Work Sets You Free" — was stolen Friday from the entrance of the former Auschwitz death camp, Polish police said.

Jeez.

Recent email exchange apropos of nothin

My supervisor (female): Did you complete your sexual harassment training?

Me: I didn't. I was offended that they thought I was doing it wrong.

No, she has not beaten nor fired me yet. She's pretty cool that way.

Birthday Wishes Necessary

Happy Birthday, Blogmama!

Bingley reposted some old stuff...

...so I felt nudged to do the same. An old post from 'Pints:



GAIA FEVER
By Al "Peggy" Gore

People been a-hurtin' Gaia, Actin' like they don't even care
Every time we burn some oil, She get a fever that's so hard to bear
We give her fever - when we're drivin', Fever when we're sittin' tight
Fever - when we're breathin', Fever when we use a light

Fire up a Ford Explorer, Fire up a barbecue
Fire up a dreaded Hummer, Temp goes up a notch or two
She get the fever - from the lawnmowers, Fever from the auto mart
Fever - from the Lear jets, Fever from the bovine farts
Poor ol' Gaia got the fever, Fever from the CO2
Good for us to realize this, We needed somethin' new to do

Carl Sagan had a nightmare, Said nuclear winter'd make us freeze
But Ronnie whipped the Soviet Union, So "winter" is now "risin' seas"
'Cause we got fever - to go protest, Fever to burn SUVs
Fever - from burning tires, Fever from the burning trees

Billy Jeff loved Kyoto, Said that it would cool the air
Mentioned it to the Senate, they said "Billy Jeff don't you dare"
'Cause they love fever - and the profits Halliburton sends their way
Fever - for the alcohol Farmers back in Ioway

Now you've seen my new movie, Everybody knows I care
So just keep givin' Gaia fever, 'cause she will drown the polar bears
And give me fever, for my wallet, Fever for my polity
Fever - to be runnin' as a Presidential nominee
What a lovely way to run
What a lovely way to run

Snow

Cool.

Almost worth moving to Florida...

... to vote for this man.



Thanks Sis
