Runnin' Down a Dream - Tom Petty

Noticed the original had been taken down, so I found this one.

Alliterative Insults

A few days ago, the Word of the Day (the sticky feed in the right-hand column) was "pussillanimous".

From Dictionary.com:

pusillanimous \pyoo-suh-LAN-uh-muhs\, adjective:Lacking in courage and resolution; contemptibly fearful; cowardly.

It's one of my favorite words and is really good to throw back at those who like to call me retarded.

I don't stop there, though. With my fondness for alliteration, I like to team it up with a couple other insulting pejoratives.

"I might be retarded, but you're a pussillanimous, puerile pissant."

It works better than "Yo momma!"

Kick Them All Out

From The "Kick Them All Out" Project website.

While I don't agree with everything on the site, I do agree with the "throwing the bastards out" premise.

"Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed often and for the exact same reasons."

- Tom Dodd (from the movie Man of the Year)

Dallas Chipmunks

There's not a lot of websites I visit religiously these days; of course, I check in here several times a day, go to the tv listings to see what's on, Drudge for news and during the season and training camp, I like to keep up with my beloved Dallas Cowboys.

They've recently revamped their award-winning website and have been putting in more articles and videos, gearing up for what is hoped to be another exciting season.

Something caught my eye, though: the following screenshot is from a recent video about today's scrimmage. Look closely, just to the left-of-center, the guy on the back row.

Is that just the glare from the sun, an odd angle or is the player storing up nuts for the winter?

No Spam Here!

What? I must have accidentally reported this blog as spam!



I "unflagged" it, then went to check the TV listings. When I came back, it was flagged again!

I unflagged it again, then refreshed the page only to find it had been flagged yet again. I checked several times, even logging out and seeing if it had something to do with that. Still flagged!

I deleted cache and cookies, came back and saw where it was still flagged!

Then I thought that maybe someone was flagging it just to get it shut down, or at least to cause me problems.

Worried that this site was soon to be "shuttered", I went to Blogger Buzz and saw this:

Spam Fridays

While we wish that every post on this blog could be about cool features or other Blogger news, sometimes we have to step in and admit a mistake.

We've noticed that a number of users have had their blogs mistakenly marked as spam, and wanted to sound off real quick to let you know that, despite it being Friday afternoon, we are working hard to sort this out. So to those folks who have received an email saying that your blog has been classified as spam and can't post right now, we offer our sincere apologies for the trouble.

We hope to have this resolved shortly, and appreciate your patience as we work through the kinks.

Thank goodness! This blog could be accurately described as inane, silly, worthless, a waste of time, horrible, stupid, etc. but not spam!

Whew. Shades of MSN Groups, huh?
