Fill me with barbecue sauce, because I'm dumb as hell!

In response to the Revise My Novel! poll, I have decided to scrap this novel.* Instead, I will be writing a novel in which a much-slapped hero and heroine have lots of hot sex while saving the universe from the Zombie Strom Thurmond Horde and blowing stuff up. The League Of Insufficiently-Clothed Gentlemen will also make an appearance.

I've been having printer trouble, which I suppose is inevitable with my elderly iMac and almost-as-elderly inkjet. Something's wonky with its paper intake, so I have to steady the paper with both hands or risk repeated jams. Because of how my workspace is set up, this means that I have to stand with my arms around the printer.

In other words, my printer is so insecure it needs a hug to function.


I've only seen a little of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, though plots are afoot to change that. However, I have seen quite a lot of Doctor Weird. Several of his...experiments...are shown here. (This does not include the corn experiment. Do not search youtube for the corn experiment. You will forever after regret it. Don't let my sacrifice have been in vain.)

Via Miss Snark, an ad for a much-needed pharmaceutical product.

Along the same lines: Beer Goggles.


Also, in the continuing annals of Bad Ideas In Musical Arrangement, it should be noted that "I've Been Working on the Railroad" is a poor song choice for a holiday carillon, even when played slowly and in a dirge-like minor key. So is "The Sound of Silence," for that matter.



* Kidding! KIDDING!

"The Sound of Silence" was always one of my favorite things to hear on the Cornell chimes. (And "I've Been Working On the Railroad" is really the overture to Poet and Peasant!) And that ad is the funniest thing I've heard in weeks.

It just seemed off to hear it while walking downtown among people who weren't making eye contact while surrounded by neon signs. In another setting, it probably wouldn't have weirded me out as much.

"You call this a vacation?"
"No! I call it...Taco Island!"

Woobie printer! All things considered, a hug is cheap tech support... and I like this strategy. Maybe I can get my boss's computer to load wordperfect in less than fifteen minutes if I give it a massage?

"The League Of Insufficiently-Clothed Gentlemen will also make an appearance."

I'll buy it! : )
