Silly Toad Song

I was looking for lyrics to a song I learned in my first chorus class* in elementary school and came across a hysterical little song sung to the tune of Oh Christmas Tree. Hee. I’m goign to have to learn this just to torment people with it....

Posts suddenly appearing….

I’m playing catchup with posts, so if you see posts appearing for earlier dates in March, you’ll know why. I often email posts to myself with notes about things to blog and then forget to post them (or run out of time). Related Images:

Visiting the Horse

Sometimes sanity comes in the form of a 950 pound bay Arabian. I saw Isis on Sunday after visiting with a friend (or someone who used to be a very dear friend and now seems to have issues talking to me). She and Penny were grazing in...

GPS Unit: Still Have Directional Dyslexia

Interesting evening last night. Tried to go to belly dance — first time driving by myself. I loaded the GPS with the address, and off I went… Except some how I added a way point on I-40… and the silly thing kept telling me to loop around...

Too Strange…

Some times you read an article and you just can’t believe that it’s true. This was one of those says. Apparently, a Ness City woman has been sitting on her boyfriend’s toilet for the past two years. Her boyfriend finally called the sheriff at the end of...

In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman...

Gary Gygax, one of the creators of Dungeons & Dragons pen-and-paper role-playing game has died. From a post by Troll Lord on Troll Lord Games: It is almost too much to get my mind about. But I’ve just had news that our dear Dungeon Master has passed...

Funky

Taser, meet iPod. iPod, meet Taser. Isn’t that a natural combination? The concept appears to be that when someone tries to nick your MP3 player, you can shock the idea out of their crack-addled noggin with 50,000 volts. Presumably this particular piece of convergent genius emerged from...

Experiment

Anyone played with Google Analytics? We’re considering using it at work, so I’ve justed the reference to the JavaScript file in the footer. (Took all of 2-3 minutes… Gotta love server-side includes!) Here is a test pdf file to see if Analytics will track PDF files. If...
