Looking For Quacks In The Pavement

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Twelve

    Twelve. A dozen. Which makes me think of eggs. Which makes me think of chickens. Both of which make me hungry…

    PAST: I can’t resist. It’s just too damned easy: which came first, chicken or egg?

    PRESENT: Let’s push this week’s theme to greater levels of absurdity. Are you easily egged on, or are you fundamentally chicken?

    FUTURE: And now for the ultimate in eggcitement. You have the technology. You have financial backing. You have a diabolical plan to improve chickens everywhere… what will you do? And does it involve world conquest? (Hey, can you imagine anything more diabolical than achieving global domination through the use of mutant chickens?)

    Flames, puns, your answers or a link thereto should appear in the comments. (Be nice, folks. It’s been a fowl week for me.) Should you decide to link back, the most-current entry is always at http://greyduck.net/ppf/.

  • So geeky, yet so true.

    Found at Sengoku Jidai, a premiere InuYasha fansite:

    ‘Women are like Voltron- the more you can hook up the better it gets’

    Yes, as a matter of fact that is going directly into my taglines file.

  • Wish-fulfillment Ain’t Cheap

    Hear ye, hear ye. My Amazon Dot Com Wishlist has been expanded and edited. That will be all.

    What, you wanted a real journal entry? Believe me, there’s been nothing worth writing about today. And the PPF won’t be available until midnight…

  • Neverending Workday

    I’ve had a dark, unhappy day at the office, and it’s not over yet. Left for the evening are the tasks of upgrading RAM in the traffic department’s workstations and upgrading Tapscan (sales software for radio). Both tasks have to wait until the respective departments are fully done for the day, so… for the moment I have time to write.

    I won’t bore you with the details of the day. Suffice to say that I had more excitement with Corporate about the new server we need, there were lots of weird little fires of which about half were manageable, and I have at least one full workstation rebuild in my immediate future. And how lucky am I that one of the dead PCs is a KNRK studio workstation? Yep, I’m just that lucky.

    Oh, did I mention that because of this evening’s oh-so-necessary jobs, I have to miss the planned Wednesday-night viewing of Cowboy Bebop and blow off my family, who were planning to see a baseball game tonight? I could only do one or the other, but now I can’t do either.

    If you need me, I’ll be in my office.

  • I’ve never said that!

    Thank you, Unix Gal, for posting a list of Astrological After-Sex Comments.

    I found Wendi’s eerily appropriate, and mine just plain wrong. I’m not that kind of boy!

    (She’s a Cancer, I’m a Pisces. There, happy?)

  • Flowers at the office, caught on film

    Getting into the habit of actually using my camera, I went into the “back yard” of our office to snap pictures of these:

    I noticed them while waiting for my lunch to heat up in the microwave. At that time it was sunny outside and the flowers were much more radiant. Lesson learned? Strike while the moment is right, don’t wait for later when the clouds may come!

    There’s a fortune cookie moment in there, somewhere…
