Yes, yes. Respect for the dead and all that. Blah blah blah. Well, when it’s frickin’ June 12th before somebody scores in a dead pool, either God’s messin’ with our heads, or we have a bunch of really bad players. And I just can’t buy that.
Rest in peace Gregory Peck and David Brinkley.
It was about the time that we were considering quitting church that our whole family took this little Belief-O-Matic test to see which flavor of worship we ought to be practising. I think I came out as a Liberal Quaker a year or so ago, though we never published the results. So, let’s see how we come out now…

Overtaken by Events: Nobody Expects the Carnival of the Vanities!!
68 entries tied together with the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
Hey, if he took the bones out, it wouldn’t be crunchy, now would it?
One of the souvenirs my so-called daughter brought home with her was a wooden thingy with “Go Red Sox!” burned into it. She refused to have the guy burn “Yankees suck” onto the other side, because “that’s just bad sportsmanship.”
Argh! Haven’t I taught her anything?
She’s grounded for a week for that one. Rotten kid.
Pepperkat returned from the wilderlands (Pennsylvania) last night. She had a thousand things to show us and a thousand stories to tell. Unfortunately, she got home at 12:30am, so the part of my brain that processes that stuff just heard “blah la blah blah omigawd blah blah Gettysburg blah Philly blah blah Amish blah blah blah” at about ten thousand rpm. Her troop leader looked like someone had run over her with a truck. (“They haven’t stopped talking for 14 days!”) I was also told that there isn’t a single souvenir left in Hershey since the plague of locusts Girl Scouts hit town.
I’m glad she’s back. It was way too quiet around here.
Natalie has declared this Tag Tuesday in the blogonetispheraverse. She feels that there are tons of people who either cannot find an appropriate post to make fun of comment on or are too shy to jump into the middle of a blogger’s “clique” of friends. So, thanks to our friend Simon, we have these cute little stickers to run around and give to everyone. You don’t have to say anything. You can just tag-and-run, if you like. But if you’re bashful (or if you just need to say “Hi” and have been waiting for an opportunity), it’s a nifty ice breaker.
While I was at it, I thought I’d find out what the hell “ollie, ollie oxen free” means anyway at The Straight Dope.
Of course, hardware geeks probably already know about this, so I guess it should be “Attention Citizens Who Like To Fiddle With Their Hardware Without Knowing What They’re Doing”.
Adrian’s Rojak Pot is a great resource for hardware news and reviews. They have some other stuff, like game patches and things, thrown in there too. But I was really impressed with The Definitive BIOS Optimization Guide. I have no idea if any of these tips are actually worth noting, but it looks impressive! Whaddya want for nothin’?

Been way lax in doing the only recurring meme I signed up for… sorry, Promo…

Oh. My. God. I can’t believe I missed Gollum’s MTV acceptance speech. This has to be on the DVD extras.
