My dad sent me this. This is me, about 6 or 7, I think talking to Grandma on the phone.

I posted this the other week, but it was during the hosting changeover so it didn’t make it over to the new server. So, if you missed it, because of my being down at the old host during all this, here it is.

We are out fo the basic ingredients of “food”.

Milk, bread, butter, eggs, cheese, chicken broth, and other staples that make food into “food”… gone.

Crap. Now, I gotta leave the house, and I already left it once this week, aw, damn.

“Joe Millionaire” finalist starred in bondage and fetish flicks” - from The Smoking Gun… And you know those guys rock.

Hey Dave, did you catch this nifty doo dah? It works. I already regged my copy.

I was reading RowdiGirl due to a hit tracker link, and I saw this entry, reading I realised most of my answers are identical, which is not common in this country. (Go out east and Ask for a “POP”, they look like you just asked them to punch you.) I figured she must be from Ohio. So, I looked for a bio block and I found, it, Yup, Ohio. Damn, I’m good.

So, anyway, it’s nice to see another Ohio Blogger. I’ve added her to the list of reads down belows on the left and given her the honored * (buckeye?) of
“Ohioanism”.. is that a word?

So… My answers to the This or That Tuesday - late as I never usally do these things:

1. Kleenex or tissue? kleenex

2. Soda or pop (or tonic or whatever)? Pop
– pure test of true Ohioanism.

3. A sandwich on a long roll: sub or hero? sub

4. Glasses or spectacles? Glasses

5. TV or television? TV

6. Movie or film? Movie
- but then I think of FILM as being art house stuff and MOVIES being the local pleace.

7. Sofa or couch? couch
- sofa if I refer to it to easterners.

8. Stove or range? Stove

9. Remote control or clicker? Remote

10. Supermarket or grocery store? Grocery

Ohio, it’s a state of mind. I’ll let you guess where the armpit is.

To to this page on John Wesley Harding’s site and click the the HAMLET link to listen to.. well Hamlet - in 4:57 minutes.

I’ve liked Harding’s work since the ly 90’s, so when I found this link on Metafilter I had to pass it on.

Isn’t this cool? I need a new mailbox so bad too. But even this one, in large, isn’t big enough. We get ALOT of mail. Lots of magazines and junk.

But hey, if anyone wants it, I found here for about $60 versus the $120 that every one esle has it for.

Nissan is selling it’s Ultima on the basis of it’s taillights.

Yeah, sell us on the tailights, the back end of the car is pretty. I’ll give you that. The rest of the car is butt ugly, but the real butt is pretty. Make sense?

I think I need to lay down.

Everyone knew it was coming, but I didn’t see price breaks… Apple Introduced today a New G4 tower, (dual 1.42 GHz, bluetooth, airport extreme, Firewire 800) and a 20″ cinema display, reducing the rpices of the 17″ and the 23″ (to $1999) - making all the cinema displays are now under $2k. Oh baby. Momma needs a new mac bad.

No sign of iMovie 3 or iPhoto 2 yet…

Wanna live like Homer?
Buy it!

I seem to remember this house being built as part of Dorito’s or something contest, and the lady who won it acted like she was gonna repaint it (HORROR!) since hshe wasn’t a Simpson’s fan, but it apps untouched, and for sale!

Sometimes you get a piece of spam that just makes you laugh.

Crazy people, what ould we do for entertainment without them?

… why your nose runs when you cry. I do!

You have a set oflittle ducts off your t ducts that empty out into your nose. Sort of sinus water slides.

When you cry, it’s not snot dripping out - it’s ts.

I saw this at my , Nose, Throat doctor, and thought I’d lass it on. Neat huh?

I’ve been holding off on introducing the newest member of the very big network, Jim Mowreader. I’ve known Jim and his wife Lori online via the MacSalon Yahoo group for a few years now. One of Jim’s “things” is his rants.

I read them when ever he posts them, I don’t always agree with them, but he’s a great read. He’s had a small audinece and I thought it was time he moved up to a blog so I apprached him a few weeks ago and let him start setting up roots.

Go read him, will you?

AdRag Like ad critic, only $2 via paypal a month to watch TV commericals.

I so paid!

Do you like Super Bowl Ads? But dont liketo watch the stinking game? Well good! Here’s 18 pages of yesterday’s ads!? And do not miss this one.

PC folks just do not have design sense, I’m convinced. At least those who make or buy “modded” cases.

It seems I’ve seen dozens of them, and they are all the same, a big square box, lots of plain panels on the front for a dozen drives - heavy on the fugly.

They are very big on looking fugly too. They cut holes and install windows in the sides so you can see all the intersting innards - not like the insides move or anything. Better yet, let’s light them up so we can see it not moving much easier. Worst yet, they seem to have formed bragging rights groups to puff how “cool” (read fugly) their computer boxs are. I say if you got a window, put curtains on the outside an have a puppet show.

What kinda scares me is that MS boxes/intels/PC’s uses SO Much power, and gets so hot, some machines need six fans! SIX! I can sit a candy bar on top of my G4 tower and it won’t melt. The PC I used at an old job I kept under the desk so in winter I could use it as a heater! I always wondered if at some point it would just burst into flames.

Maybe it’s that I’m a mac user and spoiled on the smashing design the Apple teet feeds us. But it just seems like the PC users are the old balding guy down the street mowing the lawn shirtless, wing only gold chains, bermuda shorts and black socks, strutting around trying to pick up college girls.

Ever mess up writing on your CD you are sending out? And don’t have time, or want to expend the effort to burn a new disk, or are you just too cheap to accept wasting a perfectly good disk over looks?

An OXY acne pad will VERY effectively remove sharpie marker form a CD-ROM. Not kidding. 99.9% of it. Safe on the printed sides.

(Of course rubbing alcohol will do it too, but I was out of that.)

Even on the data side it kicks butt, but you have to use q-tips to wick off the residue quickly and gently before it dries or add more OXY pad and keep working. Try at your own risk. I removed all the marker, but I can still see where it was, it looks exactly like the burned area (marker was inteh unburned area), so it might still actualy work, who knows. Can’t hurt to try if the disk is messed up on the back, can it?

Being a history freak, sometimes you come up with things you would love to see if you had a time machine and but only had 1 day to spend on the other side of yesterday.

Here’s few I can’t decide which I’d take:
(Oddly, many aren’t medieval, my time period of preference, but then I think because I’d need more than a single day - Heck, I’d need a month, or six.)

To see how they built Stongehenge
See some real dinosaurs
See how they built the Great Pyrmid
Visit Ancient Greece
Watch Gladiators in the coliseum in Rome
See London before the 1666 fire
See a herd of Bison of 10,000 head rumbling across the North American plains before the white folks destryed them all

What in history would you want to see if you only had one day?
