Hey guys, just a quick announcement for everyone.

The last few days a marathon has been going on here on the internet. The people involved with this marathon are raising money for the charity known as "Ally's House." Ally's House was started by country music star Toby Keith, and helps raise money for children with cancer and their families.

So what is it? Well, it's being run by a group of gamers known as "The Speed Gamers," and they're playing through every Legend of Zelda game in the main series. They started Friday night and are now halfway through the third to last game in the series. They are still very short of their goal and could use all the help they can get!

Please at least check it out, and if you can donate even $1 it would be much appreciated.

I think this is amazing. It shows that gamers can have big hearts and make a difference too. I'm very proud to be a part of it.

Check it out at www.thespeedgamers.com

The marathon's almost over, and they're just $400 and change away from their goal of $6000. Please help out this cause if you can, even if it's just a dollar. I donated a second time today and I'm trying to spread the word as much as I can. Please help!!!

Muy bizarre. I just "talked" to someone thru Facebook I knew in junior high and haven't talked to since I was 15.

At the end of each poker season at my bar we play the Tournament of Champions (ToC). This season, two of the top three get to go to Vegas in October/November to play for a $10000 entry into the World Series of Poker (WSoP).

The best I have done in the past was to come in 4th place when the 3rd place person got to go. Now I am the 3rd place person, and the top two are sold on going.

Now what kind of hex can I wish on these two to keep one of them from going, but not inflict any permanent damage? It has to be something that will make them cancel before they have time to book a flight and room, and give me time to book as well. Hmm...

Okay, I love Apple, but I wish I had known I could've been importing tracks as mp3s all this time intead of mp4s. I know the sound quality is better on the mp4s but I can't make mp3 cds for my new car with mp4s can I, Steve Jobs? No. No, I can't.
Too much work. But I will figure out a way because I've stuck myself in it now and have to finish. I know it's not Christmas but, bah humbug. (Just for a minnit.)
P.S.- I still think of you when I spell minute like that.

Irn-Bru (Iron Brew) family member stands down.

The last executive director of the family (BARR) that founded Irn-Bru, Scotland's "other" national drink, is retiring to become a non-executive director, ending the family association with the management.

In Scotland Irn-Bru outsells Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

Irn-Bru has been famous for its politically incorrect advertising such as:

A tweed-clad country laird surrounded by his hunting dogs announcing "I love Irn-Bru - and so do my bitches."

A picture of a one-day old chick with the caption "There's nothing better than Irn-Bru when you've just been laid."

Irn-Bru is the third best selling soft drink in Moscow.

However, all is not lost. The Barr family still own 25% of the company.

My mind is still whirling about the stupidity of the CPSIA. I looked at my original copy of Shel Silverstein's Where The Sidewalk Ends this morning and confirmed that it was printed in 1974.

Thus, under the law as it was written, it is illegal for me to donate this book to a library or shelter, or give it to a neighbor child. Because books printed before 1985 could possibly have traces of lead in the ink.

Not do have, not must have... could have.

So, in the spirit of Shel, looking just to be fun and a little subversive (not be a poet of supreme quality, so please don't tell me it sucks unless you can also suggest how to make it better... in other words, constructive critics will be listened to and trolls can fuck off.)


The little boy
From down the street
was looking very glum
he sat on the curb
his eyes downcast
not having any fun
I queried him
and he replied
"Oh sir, the world is sad
all the grownups are so mean
and the kids almost as bad"
So I ran home
and got Shel Silverstein
To make him smile again
with tales of Dirty Dan
and Where Sidewalks End
I knew he'd smile then
I put the book
into his hands
and smile yes he did
as sirens blared
and the police jumped out
from the bushes where they'd hid
they cuffed me then
and glared at me
and pushed me to the ground
the lead detective opened
up the book and groaned
and fixed me with a frown
"1974's the date
you very vicious wretch
how dare you give
a boy a book
the cancer then to catch?"
They snatched me up
took me away
but could not foil my plan
for as the cops
took me to jail
the boy laughed at Dirty Dan.

Very stressed today. And also feeling slightly under-appreciated.

My husband just found a shotgun (unloaded) in the garage - apparently left there by the old owner of the house.

Maybe I'm overreacting, but that really freaked me the hell out. Seriously, WTF?

It would have freaked me out too. Not something you expect to find lying around.

I had no idea until recently that mother had an old shotgun of my grandfather's somewhere in the house. Where, she couldn't remember.

Good thing none of us kids ever found it.

I've got to stop reading his posts and rolling my eyes at everything he says.
