When? For what?

I’ve been going to town uploading pictures to our smugmug site… and I came across this:

The for sale portion amused me… but I forgot to post the picture.  Better late than never.  Good thing that sudden ice age didn’t hit.

That shouldn’t be there

We’ve had some heavy winds this past week… this huge tree is across 4 lanes and a median.

So… does that make it a fruit or a vegetable?

I say Ketchup, you say Catsup, let’s call the whole thing off.


But wait… something new on the horizon?  Here’s just the thing for people looking for that special condiment to set off their latest culinary creation:

Yummy, banana ketchup.  Now public schools can ensure our under-fed youth get their requisite serving of both fruits and vegetables simply by dousing cafeteria french fries with this compound condiment.

Sure, it’s from the Virgin Islands, but c’mon…

…does “Virgin Water” really sound appealing?

Perhaps it just needs a catchy slogan:
   Virgin H20: Fresh squeezed from the world’s finest virgins.
   Virgin H20: Like holy water, only better.
   Virgin H20: Now in plastic containers… because no one wants their Virgin Water to break.

Fair is not fair

Sunscreen on the arms? Check.
Sunscreen on the face? Check.
Sunscreen on that thinning spot on the top of the head?  Check.


Sunscreen on the tops of the feet?  CRAP!

Hotmail PMs work too hard

Aditya and Omar only made it 10ft from the conference room before they felt the need to start working again… they worked a bit then walked the next 10ft to their offices.

No, I don’t know how Aditya keeps the laptop there… I suspect the legs of his jeans are covered with rosin.

Top Secret Stuff

I was at a special Microsoft campus recently and had the distinct privilege of being allowed into the top secret research wing.  The most interesting work being done at this facility is Microsoft Research’s ultra-secret experimentation with worm holes.


If anyone asks, you didn’t hear it from me.
