Patrick Says

This is awesomely hilarious…if you get it. I love their site.

xkcd.com

At least, that’s what The Wife thinks.

Billie Piper

Last year, on a forum I post on, someone had started the topic of celebrities you could ‘sleep with’ if given a pass by your significant other. We don’t usually play these, but I thought ‘why not’. Not like it’s ever going to happen. (See that Katy Perry post last week.)

So I put Billie Piper on my list. Billie Piper is a singer/actress probably best known for playing Rose Tyler on ‘Doctor Who’. Now I think she’s pretty, but The Wife thinks she has very large teeth.

And maybe she does. But I don’t think it makes her unattractive.

Eve Myles

So, then ‘Torchwood’ starts airing and I remark that I think Eve Myles is kind of hot. If you watch the show, Eve plays Gwen Cooper, the brunette on the team. Also, there’s a picture right here on this post. And again, The Wife is talking the large gap in her front teeth. Still, I think she’s kind of hot.

Am I alone here? Fellas, back me up.

(Oh. Before The Wife claims I searched deeply in several web directories for images that don’t show teeth, these images were on the first page of each actresses search results. So there.)

We went garage sale-ing (or is that sailing?) this morning with the family. Was fun. Got some cool stuff.

But what made the whole thing absolutely awesome?

At our last stop, I spied an audiobook (on CD) of the last Harry Potter book. And it was in great condition. A little bit of wear on the outside jacket, but the inside was immaculate. All the CDs were there. I didn’t need business insurance to know this was a good deal. The thing retails for $80!

And they wanted $5.

I paid and we left. I got home and went right to Amazon. Sold it for $37, for a nice profit of $28 after Amazon.com commission and original purchase. Since we took $20 out of the bank for spending at the garage sales, we got everything we purchased for nothing and still made $8.

SWEET!

I was surfing on the greatest time-suck of all-time, Facebook, this evening and a poll came across my feed. The question was ‘Should Michael Jackson get his own national holiday?’

Are you people mentally disturbed?

Who would think of this as even a remote possibility? I don’t want to dredge anything up about the man since he is dead, but there were some serious questions about him and his alleged behavior with children. Do you really think that a slew of pop songs makes you worthy of some great honor?

It doesn’t.

Fortunately, nobody would ever suggest this in the real world. Also, on this poll, the current results are 8,552 for ‘yes’ and 82,995 for ‘no’, so most people don’t need LED taillights to see the ridiculousness of it. You 8,552 people who voted ‘yes’ really should do some serious soul-searching. You have issues.

I just wanted to take a minute and apologize to all you readers who comment. I used to make a point to respond personally to every single comment I received on this blog.

And I still try.

It’s just that with the financial crisis going on in this house right now and the medical problems we’ve been working through, I’ve been extremely busy. It’s not that I don’t care. I still read every comment and respond when I can.

Thanks for reading.
