Welcome to my world…
Not bad for the fourteen.
Blogging about not blogging
It seems like everybody who doesn’t have time to blog still has time to blog about not blogging. By the way, here’s what Dave’s blog will look like after it wilts:
I can’t imagine why I’m not employed as a graphic artist, can you?
Hey, I just blogged about blogging about not blogging. Quick! Somebody blog about that!
And for our next trick…
On Sunday, I set out to change a couple of lightbulbs in our living room. One of them came detached from its base… the metal bit with the threads was still firmly attached to the light fixture. Naturally, I picked up my trusty set of pliers, and… perhaps this can be best summed up with a joke. How many Hyatts does it take to change a lightbulb? Two, plus a couple of licensed electricians to replace the circuit breaker and reassemble the light fixture. Sigh.
Eww
I’ll pass. Hey, that reminds me, I need to finish cleaning out the fridge.
Everyone’s a critic
Pink is feeling threatened by my blogging prowess and is threatening to send Blake to beat me up. I have two words for ya, Pink: “boogily woogily”.
According to reliable reports from our friends at ABCNews.com, it looks as if Jason Priestly is going to make a full recovery from his racing crash injuries. Good news, indeed.
“We have no indication from any of the scans that he’s had that he has any further damage to his head,” Indy Racing League medical director Henry Bock said earlier.
Note the use of the word further. Methinks Henry Bock is not Mr. Priestly’s biggest fan…
Errr… click where, exactly?
Of course, those ABCNews marketing guys have had issues for a while now. This ad has been running along the side of their NewsFlash page for ages. It seems innocuous at first, but try scrolling down a bit as if you’re reading some of the 50 or so headlines that they display on that page. Just scroll enough to cut off his head and shoulders…
That’s right. You’re reading news stories, minding you’re own business, when all of a sudden you become aware that there is a ad with a very unusual focus along the right of your field of vision. The tie placement is also very unfortunate. If you squint your eyes just right, it might even start to look like this…
I wonder if they catch more email subscribers with honey (this ad) or with vinegar (the one below)…
got rifle?
The marketing guys at ABCNews really, really, really want you to subscribe to their Breaking News Alerts. Also, they are way overdue for a vacation.

Quote from Letting Drunk Drive Wasn’t Manslaughter:
Pangle, who had a .21 blood alcohol level, had a .26 BAC when he died.
Does anybody even read these articles before they’re posted? Or does one of these numbers refer to the ABCNews staff?
