Art Appreciation
2008-02-01 06:03:00 It ‘s such an old cliche: I don’t know art, but I know what I like. Sure, you feel that way yourself. There’s really no reason to argue about what is art and what is not, because if enough people like it, it becomes art, whether you agree or not (and whether any talent is involved or not). But that doesn’t mean we can’t make fun of it anyway. My Perfect Post Award for the month of January goes to Old Guy’s Treehouse for the story of The Little Red Shoes.

Kitty Cats
2008-01-31 06:03:00 Princess only gets more cat-nutty as she gets older. She has such a loving heart that she spends her allowance on cat toys and cat treats. The cats are just as happy without them. They have quilted cat beds, but sleep in a box, or in bed with the kids at night. They have more combs and brushes than I do. But they are not only spoiled materially; they also get more than their share of cuddling and petting and catering. Gothgrrl is overly competitive, so she is working to pay more loving attention to Gogo than Princess pays to Biscuit. What we’ve ended up with are the two most spoiled cats in town.

Campaign 2008
2008-01-30 06:07:00 The file I’ve been keeping on the presidential campaign was started about a year ago. It’s been brewing so long that I had to dump some of the links because they didn’t even work anymore. I had to rework some stuff I’d written because it was hopelessly outdated. And now Thompson and Kucinich have dropped out. That totally wrecks the trophy wife jokes. If I waited any longer on this, there would be no jokes left... except for the one that is the American election campaign system itself. So, just for grins, we are going to pretend for the sake of this post, that Kucinich and Thompson are still in the race. And anyone else that may drop out from the time I write this until it gets on the net. OK? The Big Issue for Voters is Bullshit The living embodiment of an informed democracy.

English Grammar
2008-01-29 06:01:00 Grammar Nazis on the web often just voice what a lot of us think inside, but my experiences at Neatorama help me to bite my tongue. One little typo is guaranteed to bring out someone who’s only too willing to point it out to you (and everyone else). More than once, I’ve felt the need to point out that the particular author of this item uses English as a second, or third, or even fourth language. When I have wrong tense or a disagreeing plural, it’s usually because of overediting and poor proofreading, but we all need to lay off criticizing those who put out the effort to write in a non-native language. This realization made me more forgiving. I still cringe when native speakers confuse lose and loose, or there, their, and they’re, but I don’t say anything anymore...

Mars and Venus: What Women Want
2008-01-28 06:00:00 When I posted Mars and Venus : What Men Want, I felt I’d better do one on the other side, too. But I didn’t have any material whatsoever at the time! If a guy asks what women want in a man, many women would tell him, in so many words that he will quit listening before she barely gets started. I’ve struggled with this question for myself, from the desire to catch the brass ring to figuring out how little I will settle for. Somewhere in there is a happy medium, and each woman has to figure out what her priorities are. Even if you can, it’s hard to whittle it down into small words that you can communicate to a man. So far, I’ve got it down to this: a woman wants to be admired and desired. Both. We want you to like us for the person we are, and we also want some of you to like us in that way. But once you get past the bare minimum, we want it all! A big strong handsome manly man who’s not afraid to discuss his feelings, rich, unselfish, ... More About: Women , What Women Want
McDonalds
2008-01-27 06:03:00 It happened again tonight. They shorted me at McDonalds. You know, it wouldn't bother me so much if it were just me. Or if it only happened once in a blue moon. But it happens about 25% of my visits. And there is always one hungry or dissapointed kid. Yes, I usually sit at the window and check every item, but I don't do it EVERY time, which I should. As soon as you pull out into traffic, you hear "Mom, there's no hamburger for Sissy!" from the backseat. Thats when I turn around and see two dozen people waiting in the drive-through line, and at least as many waiting inside. And it doesn't matter which McDonalds location it is. All three in this town have shorted me, plus others up and down the highway. Tonight, my younger daughter wanted ONLY french fries. So they shorted us the fries. I wasn't out in traffic yet, so I pulled into a parking space and grabbed my receipt. I want inside, waited in a slow line while they cooked food for the folks in front of m...

January 26 Links, 2008
2008-01-26 06:06:00 Maybe you know about my car spending 35 days in the shop in November and December getting its transmission rebuilt. This week it failed me. I limped over to my mother-in-law’s house to borrow a car. She’s got three vehicles, but doesn’t drive much, so my first two choices had dead batteries. So I’m driving a Cadillac, which is like steering a boat down the street, but at least it goes when I push the gas pedal. Today I get to go over and jump start her other cars with my malfunctioning van. Monday, as much as I dread it, its back to the shop. On the one hand, I don’t really want to leave my car with the people who who put in a transmission that went out in one month, but shouldn’t they fix it free? I’m not counting on it. I just hope they don’t keep it for another month. Since they are the only tranny shop in town, I don’t have much choice. Fartman (via Neatorama) This past Tuesday, YesButNoButYes celebrated th...

Medical Practice
2008-01-25 06:06:00 Since I lost my medical insurance a couple of years ago, I haven’t seen my own doctor. Now that I think about it, I didn’t even see him before that, although I saw his assistants and nurses when I visited the office. I take my mother-in-law to the same doctor’s office, and never see the doctor. Is it possible that he doesn’t even work there anymore? My mother-in-law was in a car accident a couple of months ago and spent ten days at one hospital and four days at another, but doesn’t recall ever seeing a doctor. The followup records don’t list one, but just told us to ask for such-and-such “team”, which meant she would have seen a medical student who had no knowledge of her case at all. So we didn’t bother. They didn’t notice. Maybe doctors are just a figment of our imaginations. Or just a rumor! Psychopharmacologist (via OmniBrain) Sung by Stephen M. Stahl, MD, PhD, of the Neurosciences Edu...

The Blogosphere has proved that you can get 100 million monkeys typing, and still nothing of that quality. Speaking of which... The Bloggie nominees have been announced.

Food and Sex
2008-01-23 06:00:00 The survival of any species is dependent upon two drives: survival and propagation. In most species, the biggest part of survival is getting enough to eat, so those who are the best at it are the ones who don’t die out. Survival isn’t enough in the long run, you’ve also got to replace yourself with babies, or the species dies out. Those who want to “do it” are rewarded by passing their genes on to the next generation... or else they would also die out. So the scheme of things favors those who have the drive to eat and screw. In a time and place where there is more than enough food, and propagation is regulated via birth control, these drives are still in no danger of dying out, because they are the biggest physical pleasures in life.

Geographic Fun
2008-01-22 06:24:00 My, it’s been quite some time since I put up a new geography post. Since then, we’ve had the Miss Teen USA Pageant, which gave a new face to geography. And that was way back in the summer! I posted a list of links about Miss South Carolina and her internet fame at Miss C Recommends, in case you missed any of it, or want to relive those golden memories.

Robot Sex
2008-01-21 06:01:00 According to David Levy’s book Love and Sex With Robot s: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships, robot sex will become normal by the year 2050. The publicity this statement, and the book, received last year was all over the net... after all, people who use the internet are, by definition, into geeky technical stuff more than the population at large. So of course, there was funny stuff to follow.

Pandas
2008-01-20 06:06:00 When you see a panda, you just want to say "That ain't no real animal. Thats someone trying to make a giant teddy bar out of mismatched carpet remnants." They have anti-camouflage. They have no natural enemies. They show no aggresive tendencies. If you've seen a panda exhibit at a zoo (I feel privileged to have seen pandas at both the Atlanta Zoo and the National Zoo), you'd probably say that pandas seem to have no tendencies at all. They act like giant teddy bears made out of mismatched carpet remnants. But they are cute and fascinating just because they are so different.

Cats and Kittens
2008-01-18 06:08:00 My new kitten Biscuit looks like a full-grown cat in miniature. I think he's about 12-14 weeks old. That would put him on par with a 5-6 year old human boy. In this case, that boy would be Dennis the Menace. If there is a stack of important papers on my desk, he will knock them off one by one. He LOVES grapes... not to eat, but to bat around on the floor like a ball. His preferred food is anything we people are eating, so he gets locked up at mealtimes. He leaps into the refrigerator every time the door is opened, twice getting shut up in it. He has a very loud and incessant maaaaoww. He loves to run across my keyboard and cancel whatever I'm downloading, and he loves to chase that infernal cursor across the screen. But his most cherished entertainment is watching the toilet flush. He is very tolerant of the girls carrying him around, dressing him up, and giving him baths. He has become the master of the ankle ambush. Its fortunate for him he's so CUTE! Cat Resume. This is... More About: Cats , Kittens , Cats and Kittens

English
2008-01-16 06:03:00 My mother was an English major in college, and now she's a world traveler. She's traveled all over North America, Europe, and Africa. She lived in Africa for a while, courtesy of the Peace Corps. She says she's spoken English with people all over the world, and the only ones she couldn't understand were in England. Its amazing how people all over the world manage to learn English, since it IS the most difficult language on earth. Difficult? How difficult could it be? After all, I learned it! Then again, there are those who would argue about that... SOME people think that words like "reckon" and "yonder" belong to some other language. The word Oxymoronica is defined as any compilation of phrases or quotations that initially appear illogical or nonsensical, but upon reflection, make a good deal of sense and are often profoundly true.

Making Movies
2008-01-15 06:14:00 Hollywood is a land of dreams. Like a sweepstakes contest, many will enter, but few will win. The real winners are those of us who enjoy the finished product, whether its in the theatres or in the home. Still, there's a fantasy in all of us about being part of the glitter and spotlights. Like all Hollywood actors, you'd rather direct, huh? You think you have what it takes to produce, maybe? Everyone fantasizes about being either the actor on the magazine covers, or else the power behind the film, the next Speilberg or Lucas. I would settle for sitting on George Clooney's lap, myself. Harrison Ford or Johnny Depp would do just fine also. How’d they do that?You’ve got a job creating a scene for a television show.

Wonderbra
2008-01-14 06:07:00 You might guess that I do have one particular favorite brand of brassiere. I never understood why I should cross my heart (is that a pledge to tell the truth?), I’m not going to wear any bra for 18 hours, and the very idea of a living bra is too creepy. Playtex is fine for Grandma, Bali is pretty for those who are already perfect, but give me a Wonderbra anyday. For many years, all I wore was $10 discount store bras, and made jokes about my flat chest. Then ye olde bra fitter at the fancy schmancy department store opened my eyes to the way it could be. A $40 bra? You betcha... it makes me look that much better as to be worth its weight in gold (as if I could afford that). But is it just an illusion? The standard joke about the Wonderbra is that when you take it off, he wonders where it all went. Believe me, it’s still there, it’s just wandered off to wherever gravity deems. But as long as the bra is on, it’s magic! Fan-made Wonderbra A...
Tattoo
2008-01-13 06:06:00 Remember when we were kids, and you wanted to make friends? The first questions were "Whats your name? How old are you?" Later on, in college, the questions were more refined to elicit meaningful information, "Where are you from? What's your major?" Now, people meet without even seeing each other, but we still try to ask the questions that give us some idea of what kind of person the other may be. One of the first is "Do you have any tattoos or piercings?" Then you draw your own conclusions from the answer. Every tattoo has a story. So do piercings. You'll either get a simple "no" (or a simple "just pierced ears"), or else you'll get a story that will reveal.. something or other. I do not have any tattoos yet.

Puns
2008-01-09 06:02:00 I love puns. My grandfather told the awfulest puns that made me giggle uncontrolably when I was a kid. My Dad was the same. My brother and I would often try to outdo each other with bad puns made upon the spot. It’s gotten so that now we can laugh at the obvious pun in a situation without even saying it out loud sometimes. There is an old radio trick where you tell the punchline of a joke without telling the actual joke (this was developed for getting away with dirty jokes without telling them). The effect is that people who’ve heard the joke will laugh, and those who haven’t will be amusingly baffled. It works with puns in a slightly different way. You announce, “He was arrested for transporting mynahs across a staid lion for immortal porpoises.” And some will laugh, recognizing the old joke. Others will try to reverse-engineer the joke.

Then the entire process starts over for the next group of 20, 30, or 40 kids. For the life of me, I don’t see how they do it. I feel like I am beating my head against the wall every day just trying to get a simple concept across to two kids, who I know very well.

So it tickled her pink to find one under the tree for Christmas! Her reaction and pleasure made it worth the trouble. Trouble, yes. Another mitigating factor was that since Princess no longer believes in Santa, I could tell her about the shenanigans I went through to surprise her. Three weeks before Christmas, I went to the pet shop and asked if they’d be open Christmas Eve. Sure, he said, come back the week before Christmas and we’ll have our hours posted. Oh yes, we have plenty of parakeets. So I went ahead and bought the cage, which was the most expensive part. A week before Christmas, I went back and found a sign that said “We will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.” What? They are always closed on Sunday, so that means...
