Well worth a read: http://tinyurl.com/6nbwba Sarah Palin’s language choices (via boing boing) #
Jason’s Deli is now artificial trans fats, MSG and high fructose corn syrup FREE on their menu. Awesome. #
Headline News guy just had an orgasm while mentioning the DJIA. At least, I think he did. #
@snarkwife Yeah, nearly 600 points (or it was a few minutes ago) #
Oh, c’mon, “convicted felon” isn’t NEARLY as bad as it used to be. #
Holy crap, what are the Titans eating? #
We’re saved! The Dow jumped! (if you believe that, I’ll make you a GREAT deal on a bridge. Cash only, sorry) #
Cryptic email I received today: “No game saturday.” That’s all it said. #
Funny, after that last message I lost Palin and McCain as followers. #
A sphincter says what? #
@AmyInOhio No, that’s why it’s so strange. From someone I don’t know, too. Maybe it’s an omen? #

“Son of Rambo” is freaking hilarious. I wish I was that creative. #
ooh, typo. That’s “Son of Rambow” #
Purging voters in swing states. Are we in Russia now? http://robots.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/26/voter.suppression/index.html #
I made a friend on facebook! My day is complete, I’m going back to bed now. #
@smuttysteff Am now singing “Time Warp.” Thanx. #
Puking child, peeing dog. Probably better than the reverse, but would rather they both feel better. #
@thompsonclan6 Thanks. Child sleeping, dog at vet for tests. Dad needs to nap in case it’s a long night. (that’s my excuse) #
Damn, men are whiny little farts when they are sick. Starts at age 8, it seems. #
Quote of the hour: “Thanks for getting me the bucket.” (do NOT imagine Monty Python, please, but it’s close) #
The dog is spending the night at vet. You would think kids might notice 100 pound critter missing? Nah. #

@djuggler So how soon did you realize it? #

My review of High School Musical 3: About what you expected. #
@akaMonty Any particular genre? Goofy spy movie: Don’t Mess w/ Zohan. Zombie? Shaun of the Dead. Cops? Hot Fuzz. #
@MelissaSummers What fell back today? Am so out of it. #
@djuggler I hear ya. I’m a middle child, too… #
@akaMonty Zohan will probably offend a lot of people, and it’s WAY over the top. Check out reviews before renting #
@spyderkl I guess the headline could be “Gone rogue, nobody really noticed till now.” #
@smuttysteff They had ‘Twitches 2′ on the other day. That’s some scary stuff, right there. #
Need a word to describe feeling when you read tweet from someone you follow, click it, and other person protected. Twenied? #
Dear “New” Dodge Ram: you’re trying WAY too hard with this advertising thing. You’re making Ford look reserved. #
Lite beer commercial I actually like: “Two hours of shoving pizza in your piehole? Fills you up.” Sucky beer, but tolerable commercial. #
checking out http://www.livestrong.com/
Somethng’s gotta give. #
@Busymom They said that about telephones and email, too. Come to think of it, the US mail and airlines are proven terror tools… #
I’m on Livestrong now. DM me if you wanna know my name and all that crap. So far today: cinnamon rolls, coffee, and tostidos. Next: wine. #

Just think, without http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JenniCam Jennicam, we wouldn’t have ICarly. #
Facing reality sounds simple, but it isn’t. Self-delusion can grip an
entire organization and lead members to ridiculous conclusions. #
@megfowler I’ve got my big boy pants on. #
? It breaks my heart, to see those stars smashing perfectly good guitars ? #
@peggycomstock Did I mention there was an Icarly MARATHON on? (and to think I used to IRC w/ Jenny, before her big-time) #
No time for despair? Get it in 140 characters or less: @wailinglist #
@momsatwork I only WISH I had that much of a home. I live in less than half of her recent wardrobe. #
@momsatwork No more than I do about the $millions spent by ALL candidates on TV spots and other crap. I think these $ could help others. #
I freakin’ DARE you to not shake your ass to this: http://tinyurl.com/57cf24 #
@mublogger I’ll make you a deal on a Toyota Sienna… #
@AmyInOhio Will Smith? I wanna hear Obama say “Oh, you do NOT wanna piss me off…” #
My blog is number 2 google search for “funky ass shit every single day” http://snipurl.com/4mt81 That’s about right. #
Voted. #
Now I’m looking at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feeling just won’t disappear
(Doo-dloo-dloo) #
@spyderkl Not here. There were about fifteen machines, and 3/4 were full, but I could walk right up (after getting secret code, of course) #
@spyderkl And I got a cool sticker. #
@momsatwork Hmm, hasn’t affected mine. #
@CelticFrog a remote control is not necessarily wireless. You can launch the space shuttle from 5 miles away, but wires definitely involved #
When the experts start saying something is “once in a century,” it never is. #
@CelticFrog sorry, I know I was jumping into the middle of the conversation. I was going to say that remote operation is pretty old ;) #
@spyderkl I hope my vote counts (other than the fact that Texas has been going GOP for president for a while now) #
and then one night in the lobby, yeah, of the Commodore Hotel
I chanced to meet a bartender, who said he knew her well #
Okay, quick: I’m bowling in charity tournament. Need to learn how to bowl. Any helpful websites? (I have about 24 hours) #
@herbadmother But what if you hadn’t changed them? Sometimes, change is good. #
@RandiLee That’s great. I tried to leave a comment but got a “blogger is unavailable” message back. 2 Funny. #
Should I rent “Martian Child?” #
@RandiLee Got it. Arrows, fun shoes, straight wrist. #
@AmyInOhio Thanks! I just saw that it’s rated PG, so that’s good. R ratings mean I must stay awake longer than kids to watch it. #
@snarkwife That’s probably true. Two from Mars, one from Tatooine. #
Enough with the stupid “robocalls.” If voters haven’t heard your message by now, perhaps it’s the wrong message. Shouting won’t help. #
@smuttysteff What if they are just “semi-homemade?” #
I can’t stop singing the “na na nanana’s” from ‘Angel is the Centerfold’ #

KY Yours and Mine commercial. And twitter acting up. Does twitter want “yours” or “mine?” #
My son is watching “Big,” and reading my yearbook from 9th grade. He is amazed at the “grey” photos. #
I think it’s cool that everyone does “fact checks” now. It’s sad that we have to, but it’s always been that way. (”I am not a crook”) #
“David Crocket was in your class? There’s a famous guy…” No, honey, dad isn’t THAT old. #
Their bleeping (blanking, actually) words during “Big.” Son: “He said the D word but didn’t say God.” cc: shows “deleted.” #
Back to the yearbook: “I found you. That doesn’t look like you, only the hair looks like you.” #

I have an old cat. Mostly blind. Hisses at anyone that comes near her (other pets). Won’t leave me alone, cuz she’s hungry. #
@RandiLee Um, loaded question? #
@smuttysteff I’ve been reading some of your archives (again) tonite.. and wanted to say thank you. Hope you’re feeling better. #
@RandiLee Sorry, girl. To answer your question, I’ve been with my wife for 25 years, and no one else. But we still talk dirty… #
