February 2006 Archives

From the "man, my brain is fucking weird" department comes a brand-new Christmas snack: Hammered Elf Nuts! Imagine the television commercial:

Mom: "Timmy likes his piping hot. I love mine dipped in chocolate, and Edgar? He'll eat those nuts any way he can get them!"

Child, off-camera: "Mooooom! More hammered elf nuts, pleeeeeease!"

Tagline: "Hammered Elf Nuts. Everyone loves to suck 'em down!"

So I took one of those personality quizzes; here's how I did...

For those who know me, kinda close, eh? :)

My latest: "Cesspool of misery." As in, "I used to be proud of what I did at work. Now it's just a cesspool of misery." Or, "We're all floating in the cesspool of misery."

Remember: Feel free to share, kids!

If they had an Olympic event for "falling on your ass," I'd be on the podium with nothing but 10.0's.

Write, kids, write! :)

I've started using a new phrase recently: "Festival of clowns." Example of usage: "I just sat in a meeting where they discussed things we'd already discussed and decided in the last meeting. It was a total festival of clowns." Feel free to use a time variable with the phrase: "An hour-long festival of clowns." Get more vivid: "A three-ring festival of clowns."

A Google search turns up nothing but, well, actual festivals of clowns and a wine label, so as far as I'm concerned, this phrase is MINE, baby! :) Y'all can share!

...and the move went fine. Still unpacking boxes, finding things (hey...there's my shampoo!), and getting ready to take stuff to the Salvation Army.

Still have to resist the urge to take the N or the W subways home to Queens...now it's the 1,2,3 to the Upper West Side. w00t!
