Bone art

I figure I better go ahead and write this down before I forget it. I had a dream where I was walking past a small vacant lot where bones were arranged artistically. They were old bones. Some were in bundles lined along the perimeter. Some were in old paint buckets in the corners. There were also... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh don’t worry about order, just toss them anywhere

Shelving Originally uploaded by ShutterCat7. I mean it's like the Bible and Satanic Bible on the same shelf together. I stood there for a couple of minutes to see if it would catch fire. I'm glad it didn't though. Literacy Austin would have had to explain to the fire department that there really was... Sign in to see full entry.

Walking on the Edge of Forever and How to Get There

Skywalk 02 Originally uploaded by ShutterCat7. Back in mid-May Dad and I drove out to Arizona to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. It was a 3-stop trip. We went to Petrified Forest National Park, then Meteor Crater, then across the Hualapai Reservation to Grand Canyon West. Think of it as a sort of... Sign in to see full entry.

Mouse Balls & Mouse Ball inspector

I don't know how they wrote this with a straight face. This was a real memo sent out by IBM to its employees in all seriousness. It went to all field engineers about a computer peripheral problem. The author of this memo was quite genuine. The engineers rolled on the floor! Especially note the last... Sign in to see full entry.

Consequences

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf, the house, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her...

Thank you for once again stating the obvious, computer,

Now Shaddup! I hate it when Macintoshes read the error messages outloud in that techno-falsetto voice. Sign in to see full entry.

Bad People with Good Time

I've been watching quite a few of the crime shows on CourtTV and Discovery Times. I cringe every time I hear a murder or other violent defendant given a disgustingly short sentence (less than 20 years) or murder defendants sentenced to life with parole. After Kenneth McDuff's release, commiting... Sign in to see full entry.

The Applicant

A guy goes to the Post Office to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, "Have you been in the service?" "Yes," he says. "I was in Viet Nam for three years." The interviewer says, "That will give you extra points toward employment." He then asks, "Are you disabled in any way? The guy says,... Sign in to see full entry.

More junk emails

Privet, my dear friend I lack love and passion in my life and even though you might think that such a beautiful princess as I am should already have men running after me, it is not true. Yes, indeed, I am Charming, Sexy and Open-minded. I don't let just everyone into my heart, I am very picky, but I... Sign in to see full entry.

Demonstrating Absurdity

The daughter of a friend of mine is going to a school where her teacher assesses behaviour according to something like the terror alert system from Homeland Security. So some days she comes home purple (exceptionally good), green, yellow, orange, or red (needin' a talkin' to). I have made the... Sign in to see full entry.
