Happy Balentine's Day

Yes, it is time yet again for another Valentine's Day. I'd repost last years VD post, but I'm betting you are capable of clicking the link yourself.

This year I thought I would do a little checking to see how much I am saving. I did a little search tonight and found that if you buy flowers here you can drop anywhere from $42 to $227

Now, if I were dating a nerd I could expect to drop $30 for this heart warming mouse.

After viewing those prices,and not wanted to search for other items' costs, I'm glad I live by the words of Green Day"
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone...
...Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

And if you thought the monitary cost was a bit high, it least you don't pay a greater price this year. This is actually sad as this guy conviced 31 others to join a suicide pact. They say he was "a burly man who favored tie-dyed T-shirts and looked 'like a mountain man.'" I've got a friend who fits that discription.

Speaking of Valentine's Day, I saw this sign in a Korean shop.

For me, I'll wait to get my Balentine's Day when it goes on sale.

Stop the Ribbons Already

I've got news for you, a ribbon isn't going to do a whole lot to save the world. People have been putting ribbons on their cars and wearing them on their lapels for a while now, and really what good has it done. It is a freakin' decal that serves about as much good as the "My kid beat up your honor student" bumper sticker.

But this craze has gone too far. How do I know? Have you got your Tsunami Awareness pin?

Did you know there is even a color code for what ribbon is for what? For those too lazy to click the link here is a sample for you.

Red: AIDS, DUI, D.A.R.E., epidermolysis bullosa, and lymphoma.
Yellow: Missing children, bladder cancer, suicide, and spinal bifida.
Blue: Water quality, victim rights, education, dystonia, arthritis, and child abuse.
Light Blue: Prostate cancer, sexual assault, eating disorders, and irritable bowel. Don't forget the Tsunamis too.
Purple: Irritable bowel, alzheimers, animal abuse, and foster care.
Green: Workers safety, genocide in Sudan, eye injury, lyme disease, and mental retardation.

But what color ribbon is there for ribbon addiction? Leave me a comment telling me what color you would suggest for anything not on the list.

Happy New Year

It is Lunar New Years Eve over here in Korea. So this is cool, as I get to have celebrate two New Years this year. But does that mean I have to make a whole new set of resolutions?

Just to be sure I'll add "not signing up for Eharmony" to my set of resolutions. Speaking of online dating, I wonder if this couple was using Eharmony? Were they also listening to this song on their Launchcast?

Finally to celebrate the beginning of the Year Of The Rooster, I give you a few cocky links:
1. Subservient Chicken - make him breakdance for a good laugh.
2. Ruby, don't take your meal to town.
3. When I grow up, I want to join this club.
4. How does a rooster sound to you?
5. Get all your questions answered.
6. The year of the Monkees is over.

How To Find Me

I'm looking at statistics on how people in the month of January traveled from a search engine to my website. Besides the dangerously large number of people looking for girlfriend applications, there are people searching for other items. Here are my favorite phrases that brought them here....

1. Lead Apron Cleaning
2. Listen to rod stewart forever young listen to song lyrics with sound
3. Scooby Do Toilet Seat
4. Think twice before singing YMCA
5. How to sell your girlfriend
6. 'Mary Lou Retton' pyramid
7. Find out if you have warrants in Texas
8. Can Ryan watch the movie the Ryan goes to McDonald's and eat lunch

If you did come here looking for the answer to number seven, I've got a friend that might be able to help.

How did you get here?

Some Links

Hey, I got nothing today, so I'm going to give you a few links to some stories that have made me laugh, cry, or just wonder what has happened to this world.....

Two teens sued for giving out cookies. This is one neighbor I would not want.

North Korea is an Axis of Evil. Why you ask? Because they are allowing the combover to continue.

Even the Ninja Rebels can't keep their hair. I thought once you became a ninja, no one could tell you how to wear your hair.

Pope's attempted killer wants him to get better. Is it me, or do you think he just wants another shot at him?

We might not need Affleck and Willis after all. But if you are a Nerd it is not too soon to book your tickets to watch an asteroid go by.

Fat camp for pets. When cutting back on their food just doesn't work.

Finally, another reason why you should not live in a trailer.

Music Quiz

If you are anything like me this game will suck more hours out of you life than anything else on the internet (besides this site). All you do is enter an artist, and then you are presented with 10 song clips that you need to correctly identify. I'm warning you, hours will pass without notice. Some of the ones I've done so far are:
Trout Fishing In America
Nickle Creek
Vigilantes Of Love
Johnny Cash

Dang, I'm addicted. If you want to propose a challenge, suggest an artist in the comments and what you scored, and I'll see how I do against you. (please no rap!)
