En Garde!



You Are Fencing





You're competitive but not brutally so. You compete to make yourself better.

You find having an opponent to be challenging and rewarding.

You are fierce when you're in a competition, but you don't wish your rivals any real harm.


Just in time for the end of the Olympics.

I got the gold in the Procrastination Decathalon.

Shaddup You Face - Joe Dolce



Can't remember where I saw the results, but this was voted one of the most annoying songs...ever.

The Best Kind of Spam

The kind I can't read.

Cheap Dates

I noticed a headlined article on my AT&T / Yahoo home page titled "Dating in the time of recession".

The author itemizes expenses of a regular "date night".

Dinner at a medium price restaurant - including meals, appetizer, no dessert, iced tea and tip - $56.29
Movie tickets - $18.00
Movie Snacks - $18.00
2 Coffee-Like Drinks and one big cookie - $12.00
Total - $104.29
For one date!


As a less-expensive alternative, he lists the costs of a "bookstore and coffee" date. Here's the cost breakdown:

Bookstore - cost of one book and one magazine - $17.00 plus tax - could have been no cost
Coffee shop - 2 coffees and a piece of lemon cake - $11.95
Total cost - $28.95 plus tax
And the added benefit of talking and getting to know each other.

I remember a few cheap dates where all I needed was the key to the service station restroom, a couple of quarters and the manual dexterity to turn the crank on the dispenser.

In the Interest of Fairness

Since I poked a little fun at Obama in the previous post (next post down), it's only fair that I include McCain.



That's not funny, though...it's just plain scary.

He looks like an old Popeye on steroids.

Obama Lama Ding Dong



This is the featured headline and photo on the current Drudge Report.

After clicking on the link, I found out the question was in response to a question about Obama's choice for VP.

Whew, with the "this much" gesture (looked like it to me) I at first thought he was talking about "something" else. It made me think that I might very well vote for him, being as we both have something in common. -ahem-

I didn't know he has already refused to answer the "Boxers or Briefs" question.
