The cruelest joke of all - WOOT. (Bastards!)
* UPDATE: Posted at his blog now too, to “prove” it to one (only one!) doubter. LOL
This whole “amnesty” debate is making me ill.
If the U.S. had flown the planes into Mecca instead of the Twin Towers, as I advocated, we wouldn’t be having this debate.
No, I’m serial, I introduced a bill authorizing planes being kamikazis into Mecca, but Chimpy nixed that and had them flown into the WTC.
Oh, stop mocking me. I’m the Truth, the Light, and the Way. Unless Al Gore enters the race.
Vote for meeeeeeeeeeeee.
Random thoughts:
FIRST: You script- and widget-people (Technorati (favorites widgets), etc.) — When are you people going to realize that most blogs do not have huge sidebars??? I’m only picking on Technorati right now because I just gave someone the Technorati favorites widget code for Cotillion, but this is a very widespread problem. Technorati’s “favorites” widget is 200px wide. Easy to fix, but a whole lot of people don’t realize it. Worse, there are other things that are not so easy to change that have even wider widths. My sidebars on this Geek theme are a whopping 200px and 190px respectively, but that’s nowhere near the norm (usually somewhere around 150 px, often smaller!)–and even I still have to shrink sidebar stuff. You can’t ask every web designer out there to start making wider sidebars, but dammit, widgetmakers, quit making such huge widgets! This annoys the hell out of me.
SECOND: Another design-related annoyance: Waiting forever for a blog’s main content to load because all the stuff in the sidebars (including blogrolls, ads, and other offsite crap) loads before the content. Web designers, please stop making sidebars load first. There are lots of great-looking free themes out there for Wordpress (and Blogger, for that matter) that I would never use because really, who wants to wait for a stupid blogroll or the ecosystem stats or ads to load before the real content shows up? This really annoys the hell out of me.
THIRD: Does anyone know of a scent that children hate but adults like? I ask because of a friend who has these asshole neighbors that let their kids come over to her house ALL THE TIME and the kids (seven of them!) pound on the door, walk in the house, hang on her, and basically annoy her and her husband all day long. (No, it’s not me–I would have lost my damn mind by now in that situation.) I’m thinking something like Off, only to repel children. Seriously; when I hear about my friend’s neighbor issue, I almost want to go to her house and chase those kids off myself!
FOURTH (and last): This April Fools’ Day sucks. I STG, I really couldn’t think of any believable April Fool’s joke. I wanted to switch to a crazy theme for the day, but (surprise!) it doesn’t work in IE. And basically, I don’t feel like messing with it. I’ve been sick for the last couple of days, so I’ll blame that for my lack of imagination in the April Fools department today. Mheh.
Thatisall.
:mrgreen:
Woo hoo. Finally, they’re down to twelve. Now I guess I have to learn these dorks’ names, huh? OK, well two names I did know are gone–Antonella Barba (thank GOD she’s gone) and Sundance. I forgot the other two names from last week already! It’s kinda hard not to know Antonella Barba’s name, with all the idiots searching on teh intarweb for her, manufacturing fifteen minutes of fame for her. But enough of the losers.
Hopefully, my long-time Idol friend Chris will be here, because he’s usually right on target with his predictions. I’m not! There are sites that predict the winnars and lozars every week based on estimated calls, and then there’s the infamous (and wonderful) Vote for the Worst. Guess who VFTW is gunning for this time?
Yup. Sanjaya. Or “Michael Jackson,” as I see him. OK, so Sanjaya’s probably not a perverted freak, but that week he wore the hat and sang in that high-pitched voice? Ugh. Apparently all the tweens love him, which makes me laugh because WTF? I know when I was that age, I sure didn’t go for the boys that looked and sounded so…I dunno…girlish. Ever. Then again, I’m not a MySpace retard and I’m not really into this silly teevee show, either, and never would have been.
Tonight starts out with…what was his name? Randy? See? I’m sucking with most of these names. And this performance sucks ass, or maybe he just picked a really, really bad song. Errr…wait, almost ALL the songs are really, really bad. This one’s particularly bad for him. Oh! And I despise these cheesy endings to these cheesy songs!
OK, it was Brandon, not Randy. Yay, the Three Stooges thought he was weak, too. Shocker. More babbling about American Idol horrors below the break!
basil strikes again!
(along with some of the Bad Example extended family)
And, uh, sorry…I’m kinda lazy busy today, in case you were expecting an April Fool’s joke from me.
(I have a stupid farkin’ bridal shower, of all things, that I have to go to–and no, that’s not an April Fool’s joke. Thanks, Mom.)
UPDATE: OMG LOL!!!!! Totally cute geeks!!! Too pretty!
UPDATE 2: Liberal Avenger has seen the light!!! (h/t Appletree)
You know, I’ve always had this mental picture of bloggers (I’m not one, of course, I just happen to have one) being pale, malnourished, sleep-deprived chain-smokers. (No, that IS NOT me. Only partially.)
But look! No more pallor! No more risk of rickets or osteoporosis! It’s a USB tanning center!

I’ll probably update with more later…

*(because I can)
Ummm…oops, I farked up (again) and forgot it was my day for Round the Reader posting. What can I say, I don’t have a job and my daughter’s on spring break so I didn’t pay attention to what day of the week it is.
So, in lieu of a REAL RTR post, if you really want to see all the stuff I’ve been reading today, go HERE.
For the rest of the week’s RTR roundups, see these:

…and it’s frightening. At least he takes a moment to explain his success.
If there’s a day to read Glenn, this is it.
Live-blogging at the Dead Pool Is Full of Crap. Eeww.
