FUNNY: Yale Students Perform Prank of the Century, Almost
In a stunt reminiscent of the Great Rose Bowl Hoax on January 2, 1961, Yale students faked being members of the “Harvard Pep Squad,” passing out pieces of paper to the Harvard side of the stadium that when the fans held up the papers spelled “We Suck.” Apparently the stunt is available in a video but Virginia Tech or someone wanting us to thinking Virginia Tech did it has hacked the http://www.harvardsucks.org site to pop up a javascript alert reading “Go Virginia Tech!” If you go to that site remember that “esc” cancels javascript (but you may have to hit it repeatedly while trying to close the window and alt-F4 closes a program. You can also use cntl-alt-del and end task.

I’ve offended Google’s AdSensabilities
Apparently on my blog and Tommy’s I’ve just used too many wordy dirds.
- Why am I getting PSAs?
- Our system has certain filters in place to protect our advertisers from advertising on pages that could be construed as potentially negative, non-family safe or even offensive.

This Morning
Woke in a panic. I’m not putting in the time I have allotted myself to get certain things done.
Here. I present you, my head:
Ok. It’s 4:45. I could get up and exercise. No that would have required laying exercise clothing out last night. What about stretching? No. I can’t think of a single spot in this house that I’d want to lie down on the floor right now. Need carpet. Hide under covers. No. Ok. It’s 5:00 now. Get up! Work on X. No work on Y then X. No work on Z. Yikes. Interview today. Must bathe. Ok calm. Work on father-in-law’s computer. No. Oh no. We have a limited number of days left to fix it. Bath! Yes, a bath will fix all. Hide under covers. No bath. I’m up.
Took a calming bath and made a plan. Woke Tommy at 5:30 and am feeling really good about this day.

Technology: McDonald’s Outsources Drive-thru
“Do you want fries with that? Btw, it’s snowing here. How’s the weather at your McDonald’s?”
The order taker is in a call center in Colorado Springs, more than 900 miles, or 1,450 kilometers, away, connected to the customer and to the workers preparing the food by high-speed data lines.
Anyone see India perk up? “I am thinking sthis is a vnew market!”

This Morning
I finally feel like I’m getting back on the right track. I’m focused on producing income for the family and results for the clients. I’m putting do-it-yourself on the back burner and allowing the house and the vehicles to fall further into decline instead to earn money to have others fix the issues.
The cash flow still isn’t where I wanted it to be by this point so I’m going to be really strung out over Christmas.
I also feel like I’m still walking a tightrope as several things (jobs, vehicles, teeth, etc) stand the potential for collapsing at any moment.
Ready Aim…
My posts usually don’t come anywhere close to the quality of Very Mom’s Garlic Shooting Vagina (certainly a novel approach to fending off vampires and husbands). I feel the need to slip into bathroom discussion.
For those of you that may not know this, boys pee standing up but they don’t have to. Girls pee sitting down but they don’t have to. (Device Free method)
Today I chose to stand. Now, speaking of pee I’ve been trying hard these past few days to convince the dog to use the grass instead of the hardwoods. Finally out of her cage she was feeling playful and carrying her tennis ball around to solicit a game of fetch.
I should mention one of the benefits of peeing while standing and public restrooms is the flies, cockroaches and other various moving targets that make it into the urinals. As a matter of fact, as a child my family would frequent a particular grocery store that had toys in the urinals which as liquid was applied would spin and land on horoscope type quotes or points.
Today my target rapidly became a tennis ball. First reaction wanted to be anger but came out as laughter. Second reaction was to question if I could flush that. Third was “do I wash it off?” And final reaction, after finishing my target practice, was to reach in, throw it away and wash thoroughly.

Well duh!
