Diversions
Just clearing out a few minor amusements...
1. I get a lot of catalogs. The little gem in the photo was in one of them. I don't know what I like best... the name "splatter lungs," the idea that they're marketed as a stocking stuffer, or the phrase, "frosty purple lungs." C'mon, say it -- it's fun!
2. Sentences that will never make it in a Berlitz course.
3. I think these may be the grown-up version of those little green army men. Tie 'em to firecrackers, set 'em on the barbecue grill, dunk 'em in honey and put them on an ant mound. They're a great little stress reliever from life in the cube farm.
4. Check out the "Who's Who Character Profiles" at Soap Central. Deliciously trashy reading, they're complete biographies of every soap character, including those who haven't been on a show in decades. A real treat for those of us who entered the General Hospital college dorm pools for what would happen to the Luke-Laura-Scotty triangle or the Rick-Monica-Jeff-Leslie-Alan-dearGodisitSTILLgoingon? prism.
5. Lots of fun stuff from the age of civil defense. I lust after the Atomic Platter collection, but not for $195.
6. This made me laugh out loud: an inner view of your favorite cartoon characters. Tweety looks evil.
7. If you don't move your mouse, it's kinda like a lava lamp; if you do move your mouse over him, try not to laugh maniacally: Dubya in freefall.
Enjoy!
