Winning Solitaire

Winning Solitaire

Ever play Solitaire? I haven't, not in a long time, but it was cool when I won and the deck of cards would bounce onto the screen.

Too bad it happened so seldom.

Enjoy the special effects of winning Solitaire without every having to play the game!   The screen shot above is what happens with a single click; click on the screen multiple times for an impressive display of cascading cards.  Click fast and the screen will fill with cards.

Much of a time waster?  I suppose not, but it's cool.

Ya'll Should Take This Quiz

You Are the South

You are laid back, friendly, and very welcoming to everyone. You were raised right and have good manners. You have a good sense of where you came from. You are loyal to your friends and family. You know how to have fun, and you love to kick back. You fit in anywhere - from five star restaurants to dives. You tend to keep it casual and low maintenance, but you can dress to the nines when the occasion fits. You clean up well.

This is a word I never used until I started participating in MSN Groups, message boards and forums. Then I saw a LOT of snark...and got some of my own.

NFL Trivia

The Chicago Bears and Arizona Cardinals are the only two teams still in existence which were original charter members of the National Football League. Both teams joined the American Professional Football Association in 1920, two years before it changed its name to the NFL. At the time, the Cardinals were called the Chicago Cardinals and the Bears were known as the Decatur Staleys.

"Bump" from 11/20/07

I was looking at a post that got a hit from a Google search and saw this video; I had forgotten it and was pleased to see the replacement video still worked. I can't change the URL w/out re-posting it, but I can change the title because as I noted in the comments, it's not a rollercoaster. Whatever the title, it's still funny.

Nerd is the Word

You Are a Nerd

You are smart, interesting, and sure of yourself. You don't mind not fitting in with the crowd. You work on whatever fascinates you, and you delve deep into subjects. You are often an expert about many things. Of all the types, your style and hobbies are the most unpredictable. You go with whatever you like. Some people unfairly stereotype nerds as unfashionable, but it's not true. Some of the best dressers are fashion nerds!

Breaking Bad - Alternate Ending

Not really, just a clever gag.

Note: Sorry, Sony had YouTube take the video down; others popped up and were taken down as fast as they could be. You can watch the video here, just scroll down a bit on the page.

Yawn

I feel like that today; think I'll curl up w/ my miniature black panther (aka "The Beej") and take a nap.

I'd rather lie down with a cougar and take a nap, but... Not a "real" cougar, but the human female type.  Considering my age, though, and the definition of a cougar, that'd be a younger woman.

No Thrills on Blueberry Hill

I was watching one of the great Texas Country Reporter episodes on YouTube; the show was one from a few years ago: Blueberry Hill Farms. It's a great story, a city family buying a blueberry farm and making a success of it. I had to laugh, though, as one scene was the father talking about how much fun they have working the farm together as a family. The screen capture below is at the 3:40 mark of the video and the look one of his daughters gives him after he says that is priceless.

"Yeah, right Dad."

There's not a lot to Starfield and it just barely qualifies as a time waster, but it's still pretty cool.

You Are Down to Earth

You are a very practical person, and you don't get swayed by flights of fancy. You believe that there are at least two sides to every issue, and you consider each side carefully. You are motivated by security and certainty. You don't like to take a risk unless the downside is minimized. You are loyal and faithful to those important to you. It would take a lot for you to fall out with someone.

The Funky Leaf Test

Morganna the Kissing Bandit

I've only been to a "gentleman's club" a few times in my life; a couple times with a bunch of friends as we celebrated one's upcoming nuptials and once to go see Morganna and her huge snake.   Well, not so much the snake.  To be honest, I always felt uncomfortable at those places, not because I'm a prude, but because I felt sorry for women who had to debase themselves for money.

I knew who she was because I had seen her on the news after she had ran onto the field and kissed a ballplayer. Sometimes she got into trouble, getting beaten up after one attempt and arrested several other times. She stood trial in Houston, Texas, where her lawyer used what he called the "gravity defense" to explain her unauthorized presence on the field, arguing: "This woman with a 112-pound body and 15-pound chest leaned over the rail to see a foul ball. Gravity took its toll, she fell out on the field, and the rest is history." The judge laughed and dismissed the case.

roger

roger rog·er [roj-er] interjection
1. Informal. all right; O.K.
2. message received and understood (a response to radio communications).
3. (often initial capital letter ) Jolly Roger.
4. (formerly used in communications to represent the letter R. )

---

Seeing as how I've never been in the military nor been a pilot, this word is one I never use. I think I've only personally known two people named Roger; one was an upperclassman back in high school and the other was a football coach in junior high. When I see or hear the word "roger", I think of this scene from the 1980 movie Airplane!.

Meet Your Meat

Eye opening...to say the least. If you watch, please do so all the way through. The ending is not only symbolic, but a dire warning.

The name of this video was "SAMSARA food sequence" and I wasn't familiar with the term; here's the Wiki entry for Samsāra, which means "continuous flow" and is the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth (reincarnation) within Hinduism, Buddhism, Bön, Jainism, Taoism, Yârsân.  In Sikhism this concept is slightly different and looks at one's actions in the present and consequences in the present.

Day After Day - Badfinger

From Wiki: The song was written and sung by Pete Ham and produced by George Harrison, who plays some of the slide guitar parts of the song along with Ham. The record also features Leon Russell on piano. As the song was unfinished at the time Harrison left the Badfinger album to produce the Concert for Bangladesh, the final mix was done by Todd Rundgren, who took over Straight Up after Harrison's departure.

Released as a single in the US in November 1971 (January 1972 elsewhere), it would become the group's highest charting single there, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It also peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1972. It remains the band's best-known song, most notably for the slide guitar solos. It went Gold in March 1972, becoming the band's first and only gold single. "Day After Day" reached number 10 on Billboard's Easy Listening survey. 

Because of all of the overdubs, Badfinger was hesitant to play this song live for years, since it was impossible for a four-piece group to reproduce the single production. However, the song was included in the setlist for Badfinger's 1974 tour.

You Could Live in Autumn

You are the type of person who loves to think long term. You are big on deliberation. Autumn is the perfect time for deep thinkers like you. You enjoy the beautiful colors and the crisp weather. You are a serious person, and you like that everyone is getting down to business in the fall. You feel a surge of energy as the cool weather returns. Everything is better in the fall - clothes, books, movies, and food!
