Mashup thought…

October 11th, 2007

Someone with much better skills than I should put together a Suzyn Waldman-Chris Crocker mashup.  Despite the fact there is no Venn overlap who appreciate the “talents” of either of them, together I can’t imagine it not being funny.

A new High Score!

One of the things my (and by extension, other owners’) Prius has is a screen showing fuel consumption.  And if you reset it every tank like I do, you begin to play this warped video game where you try to best your previous fuel consumption.  I can proudly say, on my 38th tank of gas, I finally broke the 50 mpg barrier:

I haven’t been this proud since I held that Crazy Climber record at the arcade.

So long, Frozen Pond Heroes, you will be missed.

Use these when things aren’t going just right.

Feel the urge to use VisiCalc?

Let’s get the comments started…

September 12th, 2007

According to how I have this fancy new blog setup, any person commenting for the first time has to be approved.  This is to help stop comment spam.  So, I had to think of something that would generate comments.  Here are three topics.

  1. A wacky teacher story.  When I was driving home from work last night, the station the radio happened to be on was doing this, so I will steal it.  Mine would be my eighth-grade algebra teacher.  One time I needed to fetch something from the school library.  The library was closed during lunch hours normally, but the librarian gave me the key.  I open the doors with the key, turn on the lights, and there is my algebra teacher, reading in the dark.  That was his last year teaching.  He became a minister at a new-age-like church.
  2. A movie or TV series set in New Mexico.  When I was flipping through channels one night, I got momentarily distracted by High School Musical 2 since they were doing a baseball scene, and I noticed there were mountains in the background, something pretty unusual for a baseball field.  Lo and behold, apparently the thing is set in Albuquerque.
  3. Using federally supported municipal bonds to pay for forced busing of Soviet Communists to come into your homes to kill your puppies — for or against (and points to whomever gets the reference)

Still Unloading Boxes

September 6th, 2007

I’ve moved from EarthLink to BlueHost, and I’m still figuring out a few things. One of the things you’ll notice is I’ve gone to a generic blog-writing-thingamajic. Stupid Web 2.0.

Please be patient.
