The friday five seems to have no particular theme besides vanity this week.
- What does it say in the signature line of your emails? It’s randomly generated from a huge file of various tag lines, but always includes my web address.
- Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? I’m not sure, but if I did it was probably If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. Geddy Lee is cool.
- If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? No idea, maybe BLIP or GEEK.
- Have you recieved any engraved gifts? What did the inscription say? The only ones I can think of came from my students, and they were variations of “So long and thanks for the fish.”
- What would you like your epitaph to be? He is not here, he does not sleep.
Because I didn’t want to cause Kitiara to swoon, I had to read Visgoth’s essay titled visgoth: Modern women have it easy. Wonderful Excerpt:
Woke up on bathroom floor. Lamented my cruel fate of having platinum blond hair to go with my fine figure. Surely men will look upon me with lust now. I can’t even venture out of the house to get my hair dyed a dark and unremarkable color, because an unmarried ruffian might say “Hello,” or – it gives me chills to even think it – might even go so far as to smile at me suggestively. *shudder* Back to dusting.
According to Reuters, Kodak will stop selling traditional cameras in the near future. They will continue to sell disposable film cameras and non-disposable digital cameras.
Ya’know, I remember when APS (aka Advantix) film came out 7 years ago. I was wondering at the time if the new film format was coming out just in time to get stomped by the then-pathetic but promising digital cameras. I guess we got the answer to that one.
Just in case you’re wondering, I did buy an APS camera in 1997, but then replaced it with a 2.3 megapixel digital in 2000. I’ve very rarely wished for film since.

That’s some funny shit there…
Any chance someone wants to buy me a new computer? C’mon, it’s still sort of the holidays, right? No? Nobody at all? Sheesh…
I don’t think anyone can say it better or more succinctly than Illiad:

While sitting at home, wishing my stomach would settle down so I could eat something, I had to play the meme of the day…
Cool and dangerous Hannibal is a soldier for life. He was a well respected colonel in Vietnam who was forced to hide in the underground after being charged for a crime he didn’t commit. The leader of the A-Team, Hannibal is a crafty tactician and as he always said “I love it when a plan comes together.”
President Ronald Reagan was concerned about maintaining good relations with Iraq despite evidence of Saddam’s “almost daily” use of chemical weapons against Iranian troops and Kurdish rebels.
Check out the latest photos on my site. Here’s one from my sister-in-law’s parents-in-law’s house.
They like Christmas a lot. Really. A lot.
Day started out well. Alex was impatient, of course, and popped into the den at 7 am to discover how much Santa had added to his stash. His Oma came over to play with him, and all was well. The toilet stopped flushing, and backed up into the tub. Drano and plungers had no effect. Angela got pulled over for speeding (warning thank goodness). Plumber only cost 130 bucks, but says our entire sewer line needs to be replaced some time in the next year, at a cost of 1400 dollars or so. Joy to the world.
Coming up next, dinner with a friend’s family at the house. Let’s hope the plumbing cooperates.
I’ve made a lot of complicated things from paper, including a grand piano (twice), a cuckoo clock, and a Viking ship. But, the Yamaha Motor Paper Craft site is daunting even to me. Dayum. Imagine assembling a motorcycle out of paper, including suspension and tires and all. Geez.
Poster of importance to Washington state troopers, anyway. From March 4 to Nov. 27, 2002, one Adams County highway cleanup crew picked up 2,666 jugs of urine and 67 bags with human excrement in them.

Texas housewife busted for hawking erotic toys
I love this state. Not only can’t I buy a decent bottle of beer in the city limits of San Angelo, I can’t buy sex toys either! When will the insanity end?
Seriously, they used undercover narcotics officers to run an anti-vibrator sting. I’m guessing there are more important ‘crimes’ to solve.
In case you want to know what it looks like when you pull up nasty ass carpet and find hardwood floors that “need a little work,” check out our latest addition to Bunk’s Gallery: Redecorating. Whoo boy. Wish we could have just had elves do that for us…
Three coats of polyurethane later, the floors are as complete as they will get in the near future. Now, to turn the former garage into a decent room, rather than the warehouse-like vault it was last week.
And, two finals down, one to go. Too bad the one remaining is the one that I’m hoping to maybe just pass the damned class…

PowerPoint Makes You Dumb
Really, the title says it all. Except, of course, that astronauts may have died because Powerpoint is a tool of stupid shit.
Anyone else look at The Dobbertin Surface Orbiter and think, Ark II or maybe the vehicle in Damnation Alley?
