Highlanders Suck!

Here’s a nifty little site that shows you a timeline of baseball team franchise moves, name, division and stadium changes. It’s the Baseball Chronology, and it’s even downloadable.

Give A Dollah; Make Him Hollah

According to Jason’s latest stats, he has almost 14,000 people using some little invention of his. You might have heard of it – Blogrolling?

Well, he theorizes that if each of those 14,000 people gave him a dollar, he’d be sitting pretty and drinking a lot less (he is a terrible lush, ya know). So, why the hell not? One buck. Geez, skip a Diet Coke or two today and help out a friend. Or, better still, if you’re using his service, why don’t you just sign up (or add another year) and give him the $20 a year that the service is worth?

Don’t be a Commie! Capitalism rulez!

Maybe She’ll Be A Llama

This Friday Bill will be running down the street in a goofy costume. “So? What else is new,” you ask. Ah! But this time, you can pay to see pictures of her doing it. Not only that, but every U.S. dollar you give her is worth around $1.45. What a deal!

Tomorrow at noon is your last chance to pledge for the cancer research fundraising efforts of the Defi Coporatif Canderel in which she and her coworkers are running.

Oh, and she’s making the costumes…

Yeah? Well Same To You!

I just finished sorting through the bazillion e-mails left in my absence. Looks like I missed the healing balm of the snazzykat love-in this weekend. (I think I found a new hangout… she’s got a Red Sox skin… but I digress…)

I may have missed the love-fest, but I didn’t miss out on its effects. I came home to wonderful words of love from Annessa, Melissa, Lisa, Donna, Maria, Zuly, Ryan, and of course the most wondermous chiquita branana.

If I worked at it for a thousand years, I could never put together the right words to reflect back to them the warmth and energy I get from these and other people in my life every damned day. All I can say is: “Thank you. I love you, too. Bunches.”

There’s No Place Like Home

I’m back.

Got a call from the Cowardly Lion that the Scarecrow was tossed into the fireplace by the Tin Woodsman. They got drunk. Scarecrow pulled rank. Tinny told him “bite my shiny metal ass!” I guess that was the last straw…

Miss me? ;p

The Scarecrow Will Rule In My Absence

Posted on April 24, 2003 by Solonor

I’m headed off to our company’s user conference and the spring technical trade show in Texas. If any of you are in the DFW area, that’ll be me waving from the plane.

While you’re waiting for me to come back, enjoy all the lovely trolls my comments are bound to get (HI TROLLS!) and contemplate the eternal truths found in the following:
