My online bulletin board. A place to post things I find groovy, or to ask questions of the masses. Kinda like a flea market, you never really know what you'll find but on a good day you should find something interesting, if not also of value.

I love these things...

You Should Learn French

C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs.
You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up...

Mmmm...passion

Your Passion is Red!

You've got that spark - a good dose of intensity, power, and determination.
You do whatever you want in life ... to hell with what anyone thinks!
With so many interests and loves, you're always running around doing something new.
You have fire in your eyes, and it shows. Bet you're even wearing something red!

You should do it too!

You Are 36% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.

More than just a picture

You've got to be kidding me!

They've picked a fight!

What they hell are they thinking? I swear between this and this article from Tuesday, I simply don't know what to do. Is it just me or is this openly hostile towards women?

This goes beyond a debate of choice, this appears to be a war plan. I will NOT return to a time of back-alley abortions. Generations of women have fought tirelessly for equality and freedom, and this public assault will not stand.

Shameless, as in "I am"

So, Archie McPhee is having a contest. This is a dangerous fact, why, you ask...

Becuase Archie McPhee rocks!

Where else can you find items ranging from this to this. And what's even better is their witty product descriptions. And what about their ultra-mod and uber-fab website. Archie McPhee is my reason d'etre.

Please no comments about how over the top this is, I know.

Hip-hip Hooray!

Hip-hip Hooray!

Hip-hip Hooray!

Virgin Cream

Wow, I don't exactly know where to start on this one. I feel many thing when look at this, and reading about this product.

First, disgust and outrage that anyone would ever develop a product like this. Let alone buy it. It strikes me that this only serves to reiterate the notion that only virgins can be sexy and one can only enjoy sex with one who is a virgin, or at least "virginal."

Second, fear and dismay because who knows what this will do, biologically. I mean, someone had to go through some kind of testing. Right? I hope, kinda'...

And it's edible

I am now, officially, at a loss for words. (edible....)

I saw this on milkandcookies.com

This is promising...

Even if it is saying that Shrub is too liberal.

There is a terrifying idea though, GWB a liberal. That also means that he is not the extreme end of the political spectrum.

Oscars, they are a changin'

Yet another display of arbitrary "worth." One more reason I prefer the SAG Awards.

E-mail's the new cable!

Looks like a primrose path that will wind it's way out of corporate america and into my livingroom.

I seem to remember a time when the consuming public was told that paying for cable TV was okay, because you there were swear words and no comercials. Yeah...right!

Life's Theme Song

Mine was "Gettin Jiggy Wit It" by Will Smith (US charts), and "It's Like That" by Run DMC vs Jason Nevins (UK charts).

Swallow this one



At the Monkey Rampant performance Wednesday night, I had to have a bottle of water as a prop for one of our sketches. "Okay," I thought, "I'll just pick one up at the party store..." So I did. Two something dollars later, I had a one liter bottle of Dasani water. And I was off.

At the show, a young man told me that Dasani water, owned by the Coca-Cola company adds Magnesium Sulfate to their water. Later I discovered that they also add potassium chloride and salt. Now why is there any reason to add such goo to what is perfect already?

So I went to the Dasani website to see what they had to say:

THE PURIFICATION PROCESS USED TO MAKE DASANI REMOVES
VIRTUALLY ALL MINERALS AND IMPURITIES FROM THE WATER. BUT IN TASTE TESTS, PEOPLE PREFERRED DASANI WHEN EXTREMELY SMALL AMOUNTS OF MINERALS WERE ADDED. HOW SMALL? SO SMALL THAT THE FDA CONSIDERS THEM ALL, INCLUDING THE SODIUM, TO BE NUTRITIONALLY INSIGNIFICANT

Okay, they know about it. And it seems to be a fine justification, doesn't it? It would, unless you know what Magnesium Sulfate does. It bonds with the water molecules and in doing so becomes indigestible. In other words, your body can no longer process the water ingested. It passes right through you, leaving your thirst unquenched and your pocket "two-something" dollars short. So you buy another bottle...and the whole thing happens again.

Now I am not saying that one, or even several, bottles of this product will hurt you. The likelihood is incredibly slim, and I am in no position to tell you exactly how much Magnesium Sulfate is present. However, I would be a little more cautious about which brand of bottled water you decide to purchase. I know I will be.

Time for Tell, Show, and Read

I found this blog when I was voting for the 2006 Bloggies. I love it, it's almost as much fun as PostSecret, but it's daily not weekly. Oh, voyuerism...yummy!

Babe...I could just eat you up

God love Archie McPhee! I have to get one for Suz and Bill, I think it says love.

While I'm taking orders, anyone else want one?

Please make sure to leave 6-10 weeks for realizing your not really getting one.

Some People Will Buy Anything

I love you all so much, I just had to share this with you.

Thank you FARK.com
