Meme's, Quizzes, and Links. Oh My!

eventually all these memes and quizzes will grow old, but i think i will always be inclined to share links to stuff. sharing is what this is all about isn't it? mmmmm, on second thought, don't answer that.

if you have a relatively fast internet connecting, check out donkey konga which is a commercial for a game in japan. the side effect is that you also learn to play the bongos. heh!

here a person posts some pretty funny IM sessions. i don't know if they are real or made up, but ones like aliens and counselor simply cracked me up. ah! chatrooms. where men are men. women are men. and 15 year old girls are FBI agents.

political advertising isn't what it used to be, or so it seems over at bush in 30 seconds. this site is definitely worth the visit.

friday five

  1. What does it say in the signature line of your emails?
    До свидания, but transliterated.
  2. Did you have a senior quote in your high school yearbook? What was it? If you haven't graduated yet, what would you like your quote to be?
    i graduated. we didn't do that.
  3. If you had vanity plates on your car, what would they read? If you already have them, what do they say?
    i don't have 'em. when i lived in virginia, they allowed the apersand and and the time i wanted &JAPH. it's a geek thing. i wouldn't want that one now, but at the time it would have been good.
  4. Have you received any gifts with messages engraved upon them? What did the inscription say?
    nope. i'm assuming awards don't count. 5. What would you like your epitaph to be?
    since i'd be dead, at least at this point i really don't give a rats ass what it said. since i wanted to be cremated, perhaps "finally burned out" would be fitting.

theme thursday's theme this week was funky. looking around to see what i could come up with, i picked a pen i was given. he seems like a pretty funky fish to me!

and over at photo friday, the challenge was motion. finally, a challenge that my camera is up to. heh! when i've taken pictures at bmw's hockey games, some setting i dorked with on my camera now makes the pictures blur. maybe it is because they skate faster now. i dunno. either way, it pays off this time. we have two forwards high tailing it out of the zone with the puck after a big save and rebound.
