ABCNEWS.com : False Alarm? Terror Alert Partly Based on Lies.
Well, it’s not like that’s happened before. Give ’em a break.
At least I have these guys to give me advice for something to do with all this duct tape…
Joining the chorus of town criers:
Hear ye! Hear ye! Movable Type 2.6 is released!
A certain ditzy Canadian blogger turns 30 tomorrow. You remember – the one that I said might be related to me?
Last night on IM…
Dania: I checked with my mom. There’s only a couple of Braces. It’s hard to read the writing. “C J Brace… 1892…”
Me: Good grief…
Dania: What?
Me: “Catherine Jane Brace, 13 April 1892″… That’s my great-grandmother.
Dania: Eeeeek!
Later in the conversation, she would read out more relatively illegible names, and I would give her the full names and dates. There are still some gaps, but at some level of removal, we are cousins.
Now I suppose, out of family loyalty, I must protest that Tracy included Dania as one of her first subjects in PETOD – People for the Ethical Treatment of Dumbasses. I mean, hasn’t everyone done this at least once, for cripes sakes?
OK, so maybe I’d better just sign up as one of the PETOD people, too.
Happy birthday, Dania!
If there was anyone that ever deserved a meaningless award for something, it is Cheyenne. Go make her dream come true and vote for her in the “Nudity in Design” category at the 2003 Nude Weblog Awards.
Please, ignore the fact that there is no nudity on her site. She’s threatening us with pictures of Barney the purple dinosaur, if she loses!
Happy now, baybee?
It’s finally here! Time to vote in the Nude Weblog Awards.
Vote. It’s not just your duty. It’s your right!
[ NOT WORK SAFE. Duh. ]
Computer Stupidities is a site that has collected and categorized such winning episodes as:
Customer: “Do I need a computer to use your software?”
Customer: There are smoke and flames coming from my computer.
Tech Support: Uh, hang up, unplug the computer from the wall, and call the local fire department.
Customer: That’s not the problem. I need to know how to do a backup. Fastest possible method.
Customer: How do I print my voicemail?
I just want to know when they started tapping my phone…
In spite of our raising the Dave Barry Threat Level to Code Orange, the little monster is still climbing up the backs of poor, hard-working bloggers. Sure, Gretchen got a couple more links with her boobie and pie fest, but in the meantime, Barry has zipped past kottke and Kristine. Once he gets by Metafilter and Scriptygoddess, it’s Gretchen’s turn to be crushed under the boot heel of this maniac! Is there no stopping this madman? Or are we all doomed to making Barry-esque blog entries like this just to survive?
Blogosphere or Blogiverse? Which is it? When I become King of the Blogosphere, my first act will be to change the name of these things. Blogging sounds like something my Aunt Ethel used to do in the bathroom…
Come on, people! What are you waiting for? Dave Barry to mud-wrestle Wil Wheaton for control of the blogonetaspheriverse?
On second thought…
Update, Feb. 18: He’s passed Metafilter and Scriptygoddess and is only 24 links behind poor Gretchen. Will nothing stop his ravenous lust for power? If boobies and pie can’t do it, God help us all.
Nobody better tell me that the reason Andy Serkis didn’t get nominated for Best Supporting Actor was due to his on-screen character being fake. Not after Charlie Kaufman’s fake twin brother got nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay!
With thanks to Throwing Toasters:
Humpty Dumpty, sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty, had a great fall.
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men,
Couldn’t get him a dime.
But I could.
Following hot on the heels of yesterday’s decision by a school in Canada to remove the word “gun” from the spelling list comes the story of a lawsuit filed against Southwest Airlines for a racist rhyme.
Dissecting Leftism – By John Ray is our host this week. There are, as he puts is, “58 posts – a mini-menu of Blogospheric wisdom.” How could you not take a peek?
