First up is someone who just can't keep their eating habits to themselves. They feel it necessary to share with other people. I think only in America would you see people advertising what they eat by paying ~$65/year to put it on their license plate!

Next was this idiotic sign seen at Sam's club. Oh boy, you mean to tell me that they truly, actually, seriously accept those hurricane survivor debit cards!?! WOW isn't that SWELL! The MASTERCARD logo on the card was obviously not enough to make it clear that they would use the card just about anywhere. I am sure there are LOADS of hurricane evacuees in Ohio, so posting the sign was necessary to communicate to hoards of people that their cards would be accepted. And I'm sure if you had one of those cards you would first load up three carts worth of merchandice and then proceed to the cash register to find out whether they accepted the card. Duh.

Finally, I spotted this intellectual in Beavercreek the other day. Dammit, Joe-Bob; we are gonna get this move done in one trip-- I don't care what it takes! If the sofa don't fit, then just put that sucker on-end!
Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Unfortunately I couldn't stick around to watch.

Did you understand what the clue was about? It wasn't exactly mysterious.

We got a dog!

She is a 6 year old yellow lab, named Topper. (that's actually an abbreviation of her show name, something "Showstopper" I think) We just got her last night and she's very sweet and we love her already.

We've been enjoying our NF subscription, and I was returning a movie yesterday via the local post office where I was forced to choose between dropping the envelope in the "stamped" or "metered" mail slot. A postage-paid envelope seems like neither, or somewhere in between, if you ask me. I hedged my bet and broke the envelope in two, depositing one-half of a dvd in the stamped slot, and the other half in the metered slot.

Heh. Not really; but I should have because I would have been at least half right. Actually I slipped the envelope in the "stamped" slot, I guess just because it felt more familiar. I've never dabbled in the voodoo of metered mail. When I got home I googled a little on this subject to find out if I was right or wrong. The results were inconclusive. I found people that said NF envelopes are considered stamped mail, and others that said they are metered. In order to get a straight answer, I had to go to the top. So I emailed NF.

The conclusive reply came today. Kristen from Netflix Customer Service tells me: "Netflix envelopes are considered metered mail." So there you have it. Metered mail.

He didn't retire from the Supreme Court, just as he said he wouldn't in the next year. It is however unfortunate that Chief Justice William Rehnquist has passed away.

He had been fighting cancer, and it's sad that he died. It's almost just as depressing to think that shrub will get the opportunity to nominate yet another controversial supreme court justice.

De temps en temps je souhaite que je fusse un chien.
Je pourrais remuer et aboyer.
Ruff!
