And I’m Not Even Margaret

Last night, MiniMe convinced me to go to iGod. Have you done this chat? It’s hilarious. And a little creepy. Here’s an excerpt of my chat with God…
Me:
I’m typing something
God:
Why are you typing something.
Me:
Because my daughter told me to.
God:
Good reason. How many children do you have?
Me:
2. You?
God:
Two. ” Two.”? Me, ?
Me:
I mean, I have two. How many do you have?
God:
What are their names? Around 1000.
Me:
Fred and George. What are your children’s names?
God:
The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about typing something. But I did not get that. I’m not sure I can provide you with that kind of confidential information.
Me:
You can’t give me confidential information, but you expect me to give it to you?
God:
I can do whatever I want.
If you need a procrastination excuse, this one’s great. I can foresee myself wasting hours chatting with God.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you. 
Was the title reference too obscure?
Happy Punctuation Day!

.
The newspaper also contained the address of a blog, The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks misinterpreting bad punctuation since 2005. If you’ve got some spare time, drop by and give it a read. I’m more irritated by misused apostrophes (or apostrophe’s, as it were *snork*), but the unnecessary quotation marks make for great entertainment.

Edited to add: Ahhh…here you go. Stuff about my big pet peeve. Apostrophe Abuse blog and Grocer’s Apostrophe on Flickr. Tons of fun!

Thanks to Heather for this link — I haven’t laughed this long and loud in– Gawd, I can’t remember the last time I laughed this much at something on the internet. Maybe the first time I read “Steve, Don’t Eat It!” over at The Sneeze.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present
Word to the wise: make sure you’re sitting down and not drinking anything when you visit.
Left Brained or Right Brained?

This link came through on one of the mailing lists I belong to. I’m not ashamed to admit it kept me fascinated for a long time. I managed to see her spinning both directions. The coolest part? SoundGuy and I watched her together, and there were times he’d see her spinning one way while I saw her spinning another.
So what’s the verdict for you?
And how much time will I continue to waste watching her spin?
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up

So I’ve been battling some emotions lately, some stress, and like an idiot, I go and read the newspaper today. Apparently, Atlanta-area lakes have reached critical point and the Army Corps of Engineers is partially to blame; they found a new dinosaur (well, his bones anyway) in Argentina; a street-racing 15-year-old killed somebody in a head-on collision; an off-duty cop shot up a bar’s parking lot and has since been banned from that bar; and this (Click the link. Seriously. You won’t regret it.). 
Suddenly my day looked a bit brighter, my husband looked a bit hotter, and all was right in my world because I’m not in the dating world and running into people like him. 
Killing Time
by Lynn Daniels on Tuesday, August 7, 2007 at 9:56 am
Between my late night editing sessions and the horrible heat (99 degrees yesterday when I took MiniMe to soccer practice), I’m absolutely exhausted. I’m not sure how I’m going to get everything done today I need to — all I want to do is nap.
Honestly, I don’t even have the brain function to put together a decent blog post.
So instead, I’ll share with you the site that helped me kill lots of time last night. The Atlanta Time Machine, a now and then photo site of Atlanta.
Keg-a-Que, Anyone?

Sometimes you just stumble upon something on the internet that tickles your fancy. Or makes you laugh. Or makes you say, “What the hell were they thinking?” I stumbled on something that had me doing all three.
It’s a post at Neatorama: Top 10 Coolest BBQ Grills. Some of ‘em are innovative, some are inventive, some are fun, and some are just plain nutzo.
Studying the pictures is a great way to waste time on a lazy afternoon.
Enjoy! And let me know if you own any of the barbecues on the site. And if you visit, feel free to come back and tell me which was your favorite. Personally, I was floored by the shot of 60 lbs of charcoal lit with 3 gallons of liquid oxygen. 
P.S. Happy Friday the 13th! muahahahahahahaha…..

I saw this recently at Boortz.com and I had to share:
I’m still laughing! 
Reminds me of SoundGuy’s continuous yearnings for magnet suits for the kids paired with a metal wall for our house.
Seriously, even if you don’t agree with Boortz’s politics, stop by his website when you get a chance and check out his Redneck Scrapbook for hours of entertainment.
