    Odd, Somewhat-True Spam

    July 17th, 2008 Here and There Posted in election 2008, obama, politics, slightly ridiculous No Comments »

    For that split second between opening my Gmail spam inbox and deleting all spam messages, I get a glimpse of the messages’ subject lines. They’re usually something along the lines of, “Give her what $he is beggging for,” or, “Show her your new muscle.” I never open the messages, of course, but Gmail lets you see the first few words, and they typically have nothing whatsoever to do with having or obtaining a larger penis. It’s more like, “Hugo Chavez addresses UN Secret Council.” Something like that.

    Anyway, today, something stood out:

    I dunno. This one kinda, sorta rings true. Should I regret deleting it?

    It’s Back, Seemingly

    July 9th, 2008 Here and There Posted in games, personal, serious, slightly ridiculous No Comments »

    I did a search for the application, and went to its page. It said I had already added, so I navigated to the application from there, and everything seems to work again. It’s even showing up on the left under my applications.

    But then I went back to my main Facebook page, and it disappeared again. I tried the search trick once again, and it wasn’t coming up. Then suddenly, it was.

    I can breathe again.

    Geez, Scrabs, you’re acting more bipolar than my next-door neighbor. Thanks for the scare.

    No, not an approval/disapproval, but this:

    There They Are — First Supers of the Day

    May 28th, 2008 Here and There Posted in election 2008, hillary clinton, obama, politics, serious, slightly ridiculous, superdelegates No Comments »

    Not bad considering it’s not even 8 a.m. out here on the West Coast.

    Colorado Democratic Party Chair and superdelegate Pat Waak and Oregon Democratic Party Chairwoman Meredith Wood Smith, both female human beings who, by endorsing Obama, are betraying women and their daughters everywhere, endorse Obama today.

    See more sexism at Obama’s campaign site. Ignore the record numbers of donors. They’re probably all guys.

    Etymology Hour

    May 20th, 2008 Here and There Posted in grammar, words + copy, office, random observations, slightly ridiculous No Comments »

    I wish there was a word for the act of picking up a dictionary, and with the hand that lifts the book, using fingers to attempt to open it to exactly the word you’re about to look up.

    For example, I just consulted the dictionary to see whether Englishman is one word. I picked it up with my right hand, and my fingers did their best to approximate opening the book to the E section. Lo and behold, the page I opened began with elephantiasis, and ended in else.

    * According to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, Third Edition, Englishman is, in fact, a word.

    Bill Needs to Get Laid More Than Any College Student Out There

    May 9th, 2008 Here and There Posted in bill clinton, election 2008, hillary clinton, politics, presidents, slightly ridiculous 1 Comment »

    I figured it out: Bill Clinton turned so mean, so vindictive, willing to stoop so low, because his wife won’t have sex with him till she’s president (memo to Bill: it ain’t gonna happen).

    Now, wait, wait, you might say. Bill has never had trouble getting nooky on the side. My response? He’s too busy campaigning for a lost cause.

    We can all use them, especially those of us who foolishly believed, however briefly, that Hillary Clinton would concede to logic:
