By 1PM ET I will be winging my way south to Miami then souther still to Key largo and the lovely Florida Keys. Like the new shirt?

You may hate me by looking at the pictures of the place I’m staying at, we’ve been there before. I know, I suck.

VOTE. Make the US proud and allow us to stop having to put on fake Canadian accents. I’m sick of saying “Oot”.

How about carving one online?

Happy birthday Bill Gates.

May you get everything you deserve.

I got this email the other day, and decided to go look it up to see if it was true. Snopes, shockingly, hadn’t gotten it yet, but about.com has, and I wanted to share it.

Why women need to vote.

One to put Beggar’s night back on Halloween.

Around here though, I have noticed more and more of the no-fun Christians stealing one of the few gems of being a kid but not letting their children walk on Beggar’s night because it’s “demonic”.

Yeah, as a kid I remember the Dark Lord summoning my in my sleep to don a crappy mask that scratched my face, made me half blind and go door to door to spread evil begging like a common homeless man for carbohydrate poisons. It wasn’t fun, noooo. Not in the least. Serious business that.

I would be more willing to believe that Satan owns the costume factories because those masks are evilly uncomfortable!

A UK article about a Texas Blogger who is a stewardess who was grounded for blogging her picture in uniform, quoting a professor from University of Dayton (up the road).

LJ user got fingered by a reader to the feds for things she said about Bush and got a visit from the SS, er, Secret service.

I managed to find I think find the posts in question at Google’s cache (how lucky was that?). Look at the Posts on the 14th.

This has been happening more and more as of late. This is also why I don’t say that I think assassins these days are lazy slackers with no work ethic outloud anymore. Oops. See? Joking! Joking! Really joking!

This guy has issues

I am looking at 70’s design fora site I’m trying to finish - it’s not been an easy job at points.

Eurobad - Europe’s worst interiors of 1974.

I might be nuts but I think a couple of those are old IKEA catalogs. (The site’s < a href="http://www.omodern.com/">home page is worth a visit too for the strong)

Some 70’s design sites that are not so painful:
The 70’s collection
Classic Modern
20c design
Wallpaper from the 70’s
and lest we forget… Sexy Sadie’s 70’s style Mexican Wrestling Costumes and masks

And for the odd mix of the day Bradely Schenck’s Celtic and Retro Futuristic Art

And speaking of retro future…

The Web’s Worst Backgrounds Want to see if you can create the most obnoxious webpage ever… this will help get you there.

Uhm, Mickey, is that your… hat?

Ron Newcomer’s celebrity photos for the progressively blind. (Scroll a bit, it gets worse.) Never seen a webpage actually use 300 point type before. Yikes

Dorkstorm: The Annihilation
The ten geekiest hobbies

I think I’m remarkably Dork-free, according to this list anyway.

The SCA is not a LARP, I am no longer a Trekker, and while in the future I might only possibly promote scrapbooking, I do not do it myself… The rest is not applicable.

I do think many things are missing from the list: LAN gaming, Geo Caching, slash fan fiction writers…

Was on SNL, I can’t believe I missed this. I heard about it on The Daily Show and finally tracked it down.

Hopefully this was her swansong, er, lip sync. Quictime feed | WMV feed | MPEG feed

Some reveling in this .

Ashlee blames acid reflux, but as someone with a nasty syndrome you get from having acid reflux to the extreme, I have never had acid reflux (while I was awake and vertical) so bad I have lost my voice.

Besides, she’s not really old enough to have acid reflux that bad. It’s rare for people under 30 to have a problem.

His new Anti-Bush music video - wow. That’s all I can really say about it.

Attention Republican and Democratic committees:

Ohio is sorry we ever secretly wished we had some national importance like bigger or more flashy than our simple state. That what we said mattered to someone. That someone was listening to us. We now have so much hot air from the candidates blowing around here that the climate has gone tropical. I have a palm tree sprouting out front.

We are crippled daily almost by the Secret Service cutting off major traffic arteries and vital exits and roads for the candidates in some corner or another. Sometimes both at the same time, in the same town.

My TV is back to back to back dueling ads for Arbusto and Kerry to the point that I’d rather watch that horrible Long’s Wholesale Furniture ad with the hillbillies playing dining room chairs to 78rpm banjo music or the Dixon builders ad with the guy who can’t hold a note singing for 30 minutes instead. (Really, I need to record these to explain to you how painful these are so I can get through to you how much I would rather watch them than the endless campaign ads.)

Ohio gives up. Uncle.
Now go away. Go bother Indiana, no one lives there anyway.

Trick or treat is the day before we leave for Florida, we bought two big bags of primo candy for a grand total of 12 kids. (10 door knockers, and the two of us)

A list of impromptu things to hand out if you get caught off guard when trick-or-treaters come ringing:

1: Canned goods*
2: Plastic Sporks
3: Coastered CD-ROMs
4: AOL Discs
5: Q-tips
6: Fast Food condiment packets
7: Buttered Toast (who doesn’t like toast?)
8: Band Aids
9: Socks you can’t find matches for
10: Handfuls of powdered non-dairy creamer
11: Chaff (to entertain the guys xraying the candy at the Hospital)
12: Lil’Huffer sized cans of spray paint
13: Tea bags from that box of crap Lipton you bought five years ago.
14: Plastic grocery sack “masks” with scary faces drawn in sharpie marker and rubber bands
15: Unmatched Tupperware lids
16: One pick from the pillowcase of freezer burned mystery meat
17: Peanut butter smeared on a playing card
18: Dental floss and Pretzel rod numchux
19: Rolaid S’mores: Mini marshmallows smushed between two antacid tablets
20: Frozen fish sticks
21: Caviar on toast points
22: Printed out Emails folded into origami swans
23: Sandwich bags of chocolate pudding
24: Fruit cocktail mini shishkabobs (on tooth picks)
25: Wrapped Kraft cheese slices

* Canned goods = A guy Mr Man used to work this told him when he was 12, his mom said he was too old now to trick-or-treat so it was now his job to hand out candy while she and his dad took his sister out to trick-or-treat.

While they were gone, angry, he got to quick work handing out the household canned goods and eating the candy. His parents were not amused to find the pantry bare and about $100 of groceries gone.

“Here, have a can of pumpkin pie filling” - just makes me laugh.

I am not saying too much now (and I’m not going to say anything over on Pixeldecor yet), but I just had a very positive meeting about creating Pixeldecor line of patterned scrapbooking papers and coordinating accouterments taken to store shelves in a rather aggressive timeline.

Wish me luck!

Triumph the Comic dog goes to the Third Presidential debate “pinAlley” is perfect Friday Fare.

Triumph: (At, more than to, Karl Rove) You’re Bush’s brains Karl! I was expecting a much smaller man! …..Yes… I am a dead man.

Rove did hear, and did laugh.

To Paul Begala of Crossfire: What do you tell your children you do for a living? Something respectable? Like run an adult bookstore?

I found I have a new found respect for Paul Begala, he laughs his butt off the entire time he’s with Triumph. Good sense of humor, definitely does not seem to take himself as seriously as many of the doctrine spewing robots there.

My new name for Bush: Arbusto Ricochet

It makes me laugh.
