Poll Results

After I first put this in, I thought I'd probably have a zillion votes for "There's a best part?" but I was pleased to find that wasn't the case. (3 votes, and one was mine. Hey, I believe in being honest!)

I'm ending the poll a little early because I'd like to put in a semi-weekly (translated: "every now 'n then) one.

Thanks to all the folks who visit this pathetic excuse for a blog! Love to my friends, to hell with the rest of you!

obtrude

From the Word of the Day feed in the right-hand column:

obtrude \uhb-TROOD; ob-\, transitive verb:
1. To thrust out; to push out.
2. To force or impose (one's self, remarks, opinions, etc.) on others with undue insistence or without solicitation.

I would've guessed it was an ill-mannered gynocologist.

A Marine & A Sailor

Another from the email archives

---

A Marine and a sailor were sitting in a bar one day arguing over which was the superior service.

After a swig of beer the Marine says, "Well, we had Iwo Jima."

Arching his eyebrows, the sailor replies, "We had the Battle of Midway."

"Not entirely true", responded the Marine. "Some of those pilots were Marines, in fact, Henderson Field on Guadalcanal was named after a Marine pilot killed at the Battle of Midway."

The sailor responds, "Point taken."

The Marine then says, "We Marines were born at Tunn Tavern!"

The sailor, nodding agreement, says, "But we had John Paul Jones."

The argument continued until the sailor comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he says, "The Navy invented sex!"

The Marine replies, "That is true, but it was the Marines who introduced it to women."

Fun at the Mental Hospital

From the email archives

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting '13....13....13'.

The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the planks and looked through to see what was going on.

Then some bastard poked me in the eye with a stick, and they all started shouting '14....14....14'.

Live Traffic Feed

New ToTG item from FEEDJIT over in the right-hand column, down near the bottom.

It doesn't keep statistics like a regular counter; instead, it displays a fairly anonymous listing of who visits, where they entered from and to where they go.

I'm gonna have to be careful about my entries/exits, looks like.
