I love Rockets. As in the Ce De Candy, although I do as a general rule enjoy and admire the, uh, fuel-propelled ones, too. Around this time of year (post-Hallowe’en) one can always find Rockets in my general vicinity.
Yankeestanis may recognize these as “Smarties”. Enlightenment is just a click away. What […]

A new game begins over in the Gnurple Forums!
How it works:

Someone posts a macro-photo of an everyday object.

The subject should be a common object that most people would recognize if they saw the whole thing.
The photog should try and compose the photo so that the subject is somewhat hard to guess, but not impossible. […]

Here’s a brief, brief summary of everything that’s happened since I last confessedblogged in no particular order:
* Some home construction fun (not *MY* home, mind you);
* A few evenings of fun with friends;
* A couple of increments on the $num_Settlers_of_Cataan_games_lost counter;
* An evil stomach bug;
* A watching of every single episode of Friends (all 10 […]

PART I: THE POEMS
Many moons have come and been,
Yet on this page we haven’t seen /
New pictures, thoughts and silly stuff /
Nor words and meanderings, enough.
Oh, listen, the sound of my career as a poet going down the drain.
In a forest.
Right beside the tree that didn’t make a sound when it fell.
But wait, there’s MORE!
If […]

From the departments-are-like-points-on-whose-line department:
This was such a silly conversation that I had with Wartbag Smith (not his real name) that I had to share it with AZROLB. Names are changed to protect the innocent:

(20:20:38) NorMMonkeY: I had a cool idea today at lunch
(20:20:43) WartBag: do tell..
(20:20:56) NorMMonkeY: I went to Wendy’s and I brought […]

From the laptop-from-hell department:
Have you met my laptop? I think it is time for a laptop haiku:
Oh laptop
Your charging circuit is blown
And you weigh too much
Now it is time for a story. I do not know where my contractions have gone. Turn on your imagination and hand it over to me for […]

From the mom-dont-read-this department:
*** WARNING WARNING WARNING ***
This is *so* not safe for work. As in, you open this URL at work and ten big red siren lights all go off in your admin’s office.

But DAMN, we are so lame at swearing compared to these guys! They’re so good bad funny I have […]

From the raised-by-a-cup-of-coffee department:
OK, there is going to be a very, very weird entry soon. I can feel it in my bones. I haven’t had a bout of silliness for days, and it’s welling up like a pressure cooker full of beans, with the safety valve stuck onto the top by only a valiant yet […]

From the frozen-suxx0r-on-a-stick department:
Hah! I shall make up for my lame not-coming-here-and-blogging-everyday with another entry about nothing! I call this one “Teh SuXx0r: Lameness all-in!!!11!”
Today’s extra-lame blog is brought to you by the letter N, the numbers 4 and 2, and the add-on icemaker kit for refrigerators.
Yes, that’s right. I dedicate this blog to the […]
