Go All the Way - The Raspberries
Note: saw the original video (posted here on 11/5/08) had been taken down, so I'm putting this one in its place.
This was a fairly controversial tune when it was released. From Wiki: Because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, considered risqué for the day, the song was banned by the BBC. (as well as by some radio stations in the U.S., as I recall) The repeat of the words "come on", in the bridge or middle section, is loosely based on the "come on"s that The Beatles did in "Please Please Me" (another sexually suggestive song).

Giraffe Cam
One of my favorite webcams and I try to visit at least every few days. This cam is of the Masai Giraffe Exhibit at the Greenville, SC zoo where you can watch the mom, Autumn, and dad, Walter and their son Kiko. If the giraffes aren't in their stalls, then they're most likely out in the paddock, which also has a cam (link at bottom of page) and they also have an archived video of giraffe births on YouTube.
BTW, I'm a giraffe.

What's Your Courage Word?
| Your Courage Word is "Dream" |
 You envision how you would like your life to be. And then you're willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Even in your bleakest moments, you've been able to picture how things can get better. And you hold on to that. You won't let anyone tell you that your dreams aren't possible. You have seen amazing things happen in your life. |

triskaidekaphobia
Bump from 6/13. See following comment.
Another bump from 2010. Hope it's not unlucky to bring up old posts.
Another "bump" from a year ago.
At least I'm topical in my reruns.
triskaidekaphobia \tris-ky-dek-uh-FOH-bee-uh\ , noun:
1. Fear or a phobia concerning the number 13.
No pithy comment (not that my comments on these words are really ever pithy) on today's word, but it reminded me of a post about Friday the 13th.
It's not pithy, either. Like I said, I don't write much of anything that's pithy.
That might be because I'm constantly pithed off.
