I suppose part of it is I’m imagining little Alex at home studying hard for finger painting and smashing his mother’s jewelry.

Steve Davis has been tormenting cold-callers again.  This time he works his magic on a mortgage broker.  Check out the recordings at http://coldcallcomedy.com/.  I recommend Mortgage House #2, I’m listening to it now and … oop, I’ve wet myself.

Oh great… yet another 419 e-mail! A mail from someone I don’t know, terrible grammar, bizarre introduction… but wait… what’s this? This isn’t like any scam mail I’ve see to date.  There’s tension, conflict… I was sucked in by the drama and emotion.  I took a sharp breath, wiped back a tear with the heel of my hand and read on…

Tonight we were entertaining friends for dinner and someone mentioned it was time to chop the broccoli for dinner… and Paula started singing.  Our friends are 10 years younger than we are so… YouTube to the rescue!

… but does it taste like chicken?

A couple of folks with some extra time have put together a medly of some of the Internet’s most popular songs including “All Your Base are belong to us”, “Peanut Butter Jelley Time”, “Badger, Badger” and nine others.  So, as Disturbed sez, “Here’s a little someting for your earhole.“

There’s no URL, I have no idea what it’s selling, it was in plain text (i.e. it didn’t have a web beacon to probe for receipt) and… well… it is just plain weird.

In a story by London’s Daily Mail earlier this month we learned something new about the Queen’s main squeeze: a tribe of 400 on the South Sea island of Tanna revere him as the human face of an ancestral spirit who, according to legend, left their island and married a queen.
