Another day, another dollar seventy cents (or something like that, after taxes).

Stray Toasters

  • I talked with Adam again last night. All’s (still) well in the northern hinterlands. Our parents are headed out there tomorrow; Chelsea’s folks are already there. I can’t wait for the stories.
  • Grace has learned a new word: “Bobo,” a character from one of the books that Bot and read to her. Still no “Mama,” yet, though… much to Bot’s chagrin.
  • By way of SaraRules and the “Welcome to the Land Behind the Zion Curtain” file: Buttars takes aim at stores waging ‘war on Christmas’
  • Rachel sent me an item that I hadn’t seen before: Physics doesn’t exist, it’s all about Gnomes
  • I don’t mean to downplay this, but doesn’t this come under the heading of “Duh…” – Chances of WMD attack in big city greater: report
  • Every time I drive past an Arby’s or especially when I see one of their commercials with this logo…

    …I laugh. Not because “I’m thinking Arby’s” is funny. Rather, the image looks more like “I’m thinking giant penis.” (Someone pulled a fast one over on the guys in the marketing department.) Seriously… look at the young lady and the guy on the right and the looks on their faces – they aren’t thinking about curly fries or a “Five for $5” roast beef sandwich combo.

  • Disgruntled 8-year-old boy crashes teacher’s car
    …which, after I shared the link, was followed by:

    : Next article: German churches find ‘chocolate Jesus’ tasteless”
    : Clearly someone used poor quality chocolate in their chocolate jesei

  • With the apparent demise – or at least long-term coma – of WizKids and HeroClix, I decided to scrape the site for as many of the character cards from the last eleven sets as I could get.
  • Steampunk sewing machine

…right on to the friction of the day.

Namaste.
