Helloooooo, 9/80 Friday.
Last night, after CSI:… and watching Batman sing… SaraRules and I took a stroll over to Red Mango for yogurt; she had a pomegranate/green tea twist; I had green tea. While we ate, we finally watched an episode of Burn Notice that’s been on the DVR for a couple of weeks. Later, when SaraRules headed to bed, I started in on a new corner for my ‘Clix map: Building Cluster. (Pictures to come later)
This morning, I slept in a bit. I still haven’t figured out what I’m doing with the rest of my morning and early afternoon, but later this afternoon will be spent checking out a couple of possible wedding venues.

posted an interesting/amusing meme in his journal this morning:
Tell me your favorite bad/silly/punny/groan inducing joke, then ask the same on your blog/journal/diary/whatever…
My joke is at the bottom of the post.
- Happily married? – a look at a rise in polygamy in the UK among the Muslim community
- Cave house for sale in Festus, MO
- Someone on HCRealms questioned: What ‘Clix should be used in an Alice in Wonderland-themed game?
- NY Post sorry for ‘Obama’ cartoon
- Tesla coils sing the Doctor Who theme
pointed out this article: Utah state senator to lose his committee chairmanship after homophobic diatribe - Terry Pratchett gets a knighthood
- From the “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” file: Skinless skin-tight cycling outfit
- Playlist of great movie themes
Time to do… something.
Namaste.
Oh yeah, the joke:
A snail goes to a local Nissan dealership and looks at the inventory. A salesman walks up to him and asks “May I help you?â€
The snail looks at him and says, “I’m here to buy a car. I’d like to test drive…. that one,†as he points to a brand new Z.
The salesman looks a little surprised. “Oooh-kay.†He walks inside, comes back outside and returns to the snail. He hands him the keys. “Here you go.â€
“Thanks!†The snail gets into the car and turns the key. The engine purrs. The snail presses the accelerator and the roars. He drops it into gear and races out of the parking lot.
Ten minutes later, the car whips back into the lot. The snail gets out with a huge grin. “That was great! I’ll take it! But there’s just one thing…â€
The salesman shifts a little. “Yes, sir…?â€
The snail turns to look at the car and turns back to the salesman: “I want you to take off the “Zâ€.â€
“But, sir… that’s… that’s….â€
“That’s my condition. I’ll pay for it right now and drive the car off the lot, but the “Z†has to go. I want you to put an “S†on it, instead.â€
The salesman looks a little uneasy. “Let me… see what I can do.†He heads inside of the dealership. He returns a few minutes later. “Okay, it looks like we can take care of that for you. It will take about twenty minutes.â€
The snail smiles widely and says,â€That’s no problem.â€
The two go inside as a mechanic exits the building and drives the car into the auto shop. They fill out the paperwork and shortly afterwards, the snail and his new car are tearing out of the parking lot.
Another salesman comes over to the first one and asks,â€So… what was that all about? The deal with taking the car into the shop and whatnot?â€
“Oh, he wanted the “Z†removed from the car… and an “S†put on in its place.â€
“Huh?! That’s weird.â€
