Cool singing horses. Safe for work, but it’s got sound.
Coca Cola is releasing a Yoo-Hoo-like substance called Choglit…. possibly the dopiest name for a drink this decade. Looks dangerously similar to a Mr. Pibb or Dr. Pepper can. Careful mixing them up!
Put my votes in all nice and neat-like. I’m actually more enthusiastic about the amendments than the candidates. a lot of negative campaigning has been going on the TV lately, and I’ll be happy to see those commercials brought to an end. A pleasant surprise is that I seem to have gotten less political junk mail this year. Maryland has a neato-named Governor candidate (though he won’t win, because he’s a libertarian, rather than the ‘big two’) SPEAR LANCASTER. He sounds like a cool private eye, or an angry white savage, raised by a lost tribe of javelin-throwing natives. Spear. That’s an odd name… a weapon. I’d heard of Dirk, Lance, Glaive, Pike and Mace…. am I forgetting any? I can’t say as I know anyone named Halberd, Flail or Quarrel… I suppose Gun names don’t really count, because they’re generally named for a person, not the other way around. Smith & Wesson… Is Colt named for a person, or just a horse?
“What’s green, has eight legs, and would kill you if it dropped on you from out of a tree?”
“A pool table!”
Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!
Newt was fairly vocal this morning…not sure what set him off, but he was willing to carry on a conversation for a little while. “Mer!” “What’s that?” “Mer!” “Are you sure?” “Mer!” “The Blue one?” “Mer! Mer!” “Ok… what about the monkeys?”.. with that, Newt just cuddled back with in bed… I may never know the answer to the Monkey question. I’ve worn him out this morning. He’s now purring peacefully atop monitor two as I type this… he’s more fond of the screens, as they’re warmer than the futon, and he can play with me more easily when in front of me, rather than behind.
I should pick up a new web cam. This one’s output is pretty dang fuzzy.
I’m still not terribly hungry, even after yesterday’s semi-fast. I wouldn’t mind some waffles, though…maybe I’ll treat myself to something tasty at lunch. I’m not sure who’d deliver waffles, but IHOP would be nice about now. I could really go for one of my sweetie’s apples in the bowl on her desk, too.
