Avast, Ye Swabs!

It be ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day‘ upon the briney deep o’ the Internet. Here’s hoping you all have a fine day o’ pillagin’, plunderin’, and rum-swillin’. Arrrr.

And don’t be makin’ the same mistake as me, lads and lasses. For me crew almost strung me up on the yardarm when I started jabberin’ about balls and strikes. I thought it was ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’…

Shiver me timbers! Arrrrrr!

Mmmm… cookies…

Cookie Monster
“C” is for cookie!
Dat’s good enough for me.
“C” is for cookie!
Dat’s good enough for me.
“C” is for cookie!
Dat’s good enough for me.
Oohhhh, cookie, cookie, cookie start with “C”… OH BOY!

Brian has pictures of the first deliveries in the BKO Lounge Cookie Swap. It’s like a CD swap–only with cookies! Each member sends the other members 6 cookies. I whined and begged until my sainted wife made gingerbread cream cheese spirals and shipped them to parts far and wide–Washington, Minnesota, Canada, New England and Germany. I can’t wait to start getting those packages, now. It’s like Christmas already.

Must. Stop. Drooling.

2004 Season Opens

Solonor’s Groovy Computer Baseball League has started its 2004 season, and if you haven’t been perusing the news page, you’ve been missing some pretty funny stuff. Instead of relying on me to make up silly stories about their teams, the team owners are writing their own. So far we’ve seen:

Not to mention regular team updates from the rest of our silly band of computer-baseball-mad Tolkien freaks and vicious taunting in the League Forum (led by our own silly English k-n-nigit, Kevin).

More fun than geeks should be allowed.

Pssst! If you want a team, I know the League Commissioner…

Oh crap…

I think I broke it.

I tried to make a new post at DiVERSiONZ…ya know, the place where I’m guest blogging… and it won’t rebuild the main page anymore. Ruh roh…

I kinda noticed it when Bigwig made a comment that didn’t show up. So, maybe he broke it! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

I am so dead.

Hand-Crafted Reality

I found Greg’s Digital Portfolio a fascinating site. Click on one of the thumbnails, and you are taken to an example of the man’s work. Pass your mouse over the photo, and see exactly what digital airbrushing involves.

When did we get an indoor swimming pool?

It’s not that we Floridians (native and otherwise) are happy that someone else is in the path of a destructive hurricane. But we are hoping the collective sigh of relief that Isabel’s not headed our way will blow the darn thing out to sea.

In case it doesn’t, here are some helpful tips from Meryl Yourish: How To Tell You’re In A Hurricane.

Don’t Worry, Dad…

…we won’t have any parties while you’re gone.

Pssst! I’m guest blogging over at DiVERSiONZ. And Peat gave me the keys to the whole blog, not just some stinky guest login. Mwahahaha.

So… if ya want a place to post all that stuff you wouldn’t normally sully your fine blog with… I can make you a stinky guest login there. Cheap.
