Dorothy Dandridge / Nicholas Brothers
Time. Worst Wasted.
I clicked on a link under a thumbnail of a storage shed I was looking at on the Sears website:
We're here to help you find just what you need.
Apparently not. Yikes.
The title of this post? A rebuttal to the Sears slogan: Life. Well spent.

coterie
1. a group of people who associate closely.
2. an exclusive group; clique.
3. a group of prairie dogs occupying a communal burrow.
I've seen loads of prairie dog towns, but never heard them called a coterie. I've also been around people who acted like adult life was like it was back in high school, with groups of kids forming cliques.* I went to a small town school, so thank goodness there weren't that many cliques, but there were the outliers, the kids who just didn't fit in. I felt like I was on the cusp of both groups, the "in crowd" and the "outsiders". It didn't scar me for life or anything like that, though and if I had it all to do over again, don't think I would have changed a thing...at least not socially.
*Since I've been online I've joined and participated in quite a few message boards and forums and I've found there are cliques in those, too. They're usually split along political lines, though. I'm often on the cusp of both those groups, too...not socially conservative enough to be accepted totally by that side and not nearly liberal enough to be accepted by that one, either. Just like back in school, I'm not much bothered by being on the cusp of both sides. I'm content with my political views....mainly because they're the best ones. -grin-
Google Error
Not a 404 page, but the link was bad. Not sure why that was, the explanation didn't make much sense; it was at the top of the results on their own search engine, so....
The broken robot reminded me of the one in MSN Groups. I used to have all of those animations such as the conveyor belt while the file was uploading (and there were some clever animations made from that one) and the shuttered groups graphic. I lost them all in a hard drive failure of one of my first computers.

Smooth or Chunky?
| You Are Chunky Peanut Butter |
 You are a very visual person. You don't judge a book by it's cover, but you definitely notice the cover! You are shy at first but talkative with people you know extremely well. You open up over time. You are always keenly aware of your environment. You notice every sight, sound, and smell. |
Actually, while I might be a little chunky, I prefer smooth peanut butter. Also, in case you missed it, Jan. 24th was National Peanut Butter day.
Alliteration Sentence Generator
A site geared towards alliteration lovers such as myself, Alliteration Sentence Generator lets the user input a name/word and in just a few seconds, a set of alliterative words appears.
I plugged in my name and got this:
Moving Mike miss mutagenically machinator
Not sure if that's really a sentence...or where I could use all of the words in a sentence, but it DOES give me ideas for new forum nicknames.
