I suppose I could call the blood bank and ask them what type blood I have, if they still have me on file. But I don't want them starting up with their demands, again...

I remember a "Barney Miller" episode where they brought in someone who tore up a subway ad because he couldn't stand the bad grammer and spelling. "Our pickles are the tongue-teasingest, the lip-smackingest, the crun-crun-crunchiest." (Or something like that.)
"Save up to fifty percent---and more!"
"Someday all our people will have above average incomes."

I find it hard to believe we have exhausted the randomness reserves of this group...
That said, I woke up at 3am this morning with an agonizing neck ache that actually turned out to be quite productive... I couldn't sleep, so I wrote for a while as I waited for pain meds to kick in. After reading what I wrote, I have decided that writing after taking pain medication is perhaps not the wisest method. Now that stuff was random.

I can do without the Internet. I can quit any time. Come to think of it, I just did---I didn't go online from the morning of Saturday May Ninth to the evening of Sunday May Seventeenth. Of course I was away from my computer at the time...

Of course, since I'm still on vacation right now, and home where my computer is, I could just stay here and post as the spirit moves me.

Everytime uClick Comics diddles with their format, they screw me over. This morning, their changes prevented me from printing out my comics e-mail. Their "modifications" made the comics lap over the margins...some disappeared below the page...and all of them lost their right sides.

Yay! It's the only thing on TV that I like these days. I'm both picky and obsessive. I like that about myself. Posts: 938 | Registered: May 2008

What are blackflies? I hate whiteflies. They fly in my mouth and it's impossible to shoo them away. (there now it's equal, we hate both black and white flies)

Forget flies - how abput gnats? Tiny little buggers drive me crazy, esp. when you get a swarm of them around your head!

Blackflies are an especially icky breed of bugs here in the northeast U.S. Imagine gnats that bite harder and are hungrier than mosquitos, and you have a blackfly. They are here to ruin the spring.

Nope. Just counted. It took me a few days to do the first 500. I just counted the next 100 for this one.
This is my way of procrastinating. I always thought I would be a great satistical analysit. I have no idea on how to get such a job or if it pays well, however.

Unlikely. I had a good stretch of time off because of the economy but back to work now. I'm probably not even in third anymore. Unwritten was a couple behind me at 600 and may have passed me by now.

I post a lot because (1) this thread is funny, and (2) I have no life other than (a) work, (b) reading, and (c) [occasionally] writing.

I've heard press reports these last two days involving terrorists in Newburgh, New York plotting to fire missiles at planes leaving Stewart Field nearby. I always get a little nostalgic when I hear that airport mentioned in the news. My grandfather built it.

Instead of terrorists, maybe they're tourists with really big cameras, hoping for another Air Force 1 photo-op.
Speaking of AF1 - my home town airport in Roanoke, Virginia is a training site for AF1 pilots. They are trained to fly below RADAR. If everyone thought the fly-overs in NYC were eerie, they should watch one of these things fly below radar and make 90 degree turns!

I've seen plenty of people nutmegged while playing soccer, but that's pretty run of the mill. So I've upped the ante a bit. As of today, I can quite honestly say that I have seen a man nutmegged by a hawk. Twice.
