April 20, 2005
Problem was, I didn't know dick about html, so I set about blogging, instead.
Then today, Beth of MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy e-mailed me that someone else had the same sickness *I* did - as well as having better geek skills - and had set up a web site dedicated to scribbled-on dollars back in 2002.
It's Johnny Burrito's "Ugly Money" site, which does pretty much what I had originally intended to do.
The biggest difference being that his site isn't a blog, and he does descriptions rather than witty captions.
Oddly, I've never heard of the site until today, and he's never heard of me, either. Guess I'll have to drop him a line.
Johnny's also had an article written about his site in Playboy, which is proof that I only buy Playboy for the pictures. Hell, I didn't even know it HAD articles in it.
Anyway, I'll be putting Johnny in my sidebar in the Useful Tools section for now.

Who will be a good fit into the Bad Example Family, since not only does he know what the "Puppy Blender" is, he can tell better stories about him than I can.
Funny guy, this one.
See?
Anyway, Baba, you can pick up a Bad Example Family logo from this post, and you may, if you wish, blogroll the rest of the Bad Example family using the handy blogrolling javascript, although neither is a requirement.
Meanwhile you can look forward - with either anticipation or dread - to regular visits and comments from me.
Welcome home.

My first reaction when I heard the news was, "Oh crap. Teresa of Technicalities has a son who's a Chinook crew chief in the 'stan..."
"...Oh God. I just heard her telling funny stories about this boy a couple weeks ago during the Chicago blogmeet. She loves that boy SO much..."
"...Oh God. What if it was him? What if I have to go back to Chicago 2 weeks later to go to a funeral instead of a drunken shindig?"
Followed by a cold chill as I realized how much infinitely worse Teresa's fear and dread was, and what a staggering blow the loss would be to HER.
As it turned out, her son was ok.
But as it also turned out, other people's sons weren't.
And someone else has to comfort those weeping mothers in my place.
Matt of Blackfive has the complete list of those who won't be coming home.
Pray for them and their families.

Amid the gloom and travail of existence suddenly to behold a beautiful being... and as instantaneously to feel an overwhelming conviction, that with that fair form, our destinies must be entwined... this is love.

Oddybobo of Boboblogger once blamed me for the fact that she started blogging, and I tried to overlook it. But since she's a regular commenter at a lot of my blogfamily's sites, and seems to fit in so well with the whole naughtified zeitgeist, I think it's time to bring her into the fold.
One of my points of hesitation was that she'd been a little... mysterious... about her gender. Dropping a few hints here & there, but still, no definitive statements. So would it be blogson? Blogdaughter? Blogmichaeljackson? Very confusing.
However, with this post, she came solidly out of the gender closet. Being an expert on things mammary, I can say without hesitation that those are definitely boobs, and not moobs.
So, since the paternity tests are a bit ambiguous - by which I mean that I don't specifically recall telling her to start blogging before she took the plunge - I'm adopting Oddybobo as my newest blogdaughter.
Oddy, you can pick up a Bad Example Family logo from this post, and you may, if you wish, blogroll the rest of the Bad Example family using the handy blogrolling javascript, although neither is a requirement.
Meanwhile you can look forward - with either anticipation or dread - to regular visits and comments from me.

Immediately following there is a list of 20 different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with "If I could be..." Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession.
For example, if the selected occupation was "linguist," you might take the phrase "If I could be a linguist...I would learn Hebrew, Greek, Russian, Italian and Chinese." See how easy that is? Here's the list:
If I could be a scientist...
If I could be a farmer...
If I could be a musician...
If I could be a doctor...
If I could be a painter...
If I could be a gardener...
If I could be a missionary...
If I could be a chef...
If I could be an architect...
If I could be a linguist...
If I could be a psychologist...
If I could be a librarian...
If I could be an athlete...
If I could be a lawyer...
If I could be an innkeeper...
If I could be a professor...
If I could be a writer...
If I could be a llama-rider...
If I could be a bonnie pirate...
If I could be an astronaut...
Here we go:
If I could be a scientist..."Glavin"
If I could be a farmer...EIEIO
If I could be a musician..."Purple Haze! All in my Brain!"
If I could be a doctor...well, more "play" than "be", but...
If I could be a painter...Michaelangelo or another Ninja Turtle
If I could be a gardener...the Octopus's
If I could be a missionary...eaten by cannibals... so to speak...
If I could be a chef..."chocolate salty balls"
If I could be an architect..."rotating knives, yes"
If I could be a linguist...only so I could get close enough to Noam Chomsky to bury a shiv in his short-ribs
If I could be a psychologist...Bob Newhart - because I like not being funny
If I could be a librarian...I'd be stalked by Eric
If I could be an athlete...Special Olympics gold medalist
If I could be a lawyer...mmmm... puppy shakes...
If I could be an innkeeper...I'd have found a room for Mary & Joseph, which may have blown a couple prophesies.
If I could be a professor...Flubber!
If I could be a writer...actually, typing's easier...
If I could be a llama-rider...fuzzy llama
If I could be a bonnie pirate...Penzancian
If I could be an astronaut...I'd carry a good blaster at my side because hokey religions and ancient weapons are just no substitute.
And I get to burn three other people with it, so:
Kevin of Eckernet - I want to see if he still likes me so much after this.
Teresa of Technicalities - because she's daddy's favorite.
Dana of Note-It Posts - because she's still America's #1 Pin-up Girl.

I'm going to start a new blog. (I know, I don't have enough to do already!) But here's the idea for it. A reference site for Girls. Chicks. Women. Broads. Dames. Whatever you want to be called. (Guys can use it too, and I'll take suggestion from them as well, but the primary focus will be chicks.) It's a site where you can let your fellow female know of companies and service people not only to stay away from, but also what companies and service people you would recommend. So it's two-fold...a) What would be a good name for the blog? Chicks List? Girls Guide to the World? The Girl Pages? Let me know...keep it clean! And (b) when its ready, would you be willing to give it mention on your blog or to your friends? Is this something that would be a worthwhile service?So, I need your help. Let me know what you think. I want this Girly Blog to be not just Florida, but to cover the states. A good reference source of information. I think it's something that could be a useful tool.
So, if you're a girl, or if you just like having sex with them, stop on over.

There are Carnival of Cats, Dogs, Recipes and so much more. So let's have a little fun and put out pictures and stories of kids! Your kids, yourself as a kid, or your spouse as a kid! I would prefer the pictures to be a kid (or kids) under the age of 5 and posted at your own site. But it's yourself or your children, so feel free to put out what you are comfortable with on the picture side. Also, those cute/stupid/insane stories of what the kids have done lately (or what you did as a child). Send the post link to Karnival.Kidz –at- gmail.com before Midnight Sunday. If you don't have your own blog and would still like to participate, send the picture or story to Karnival.Kidz –at- gmail.com before Midnight Sunday.
Might as well get this over with:

Figure it's time pay this meme forward.
Who's the blogger that kept me going through MY darkest hour?
Susie of Practical Penumbra.
When I was just a crunchy little thing in the Ecosystem, Susie would stop by every day and leave a little something in my comments. Usually on my graffiti currency posts. As I explained when I first started blogging:
These are bills that have been written on, drawn on, rubber-stamped, or otherwise imbued with the mark of one of their temporary owners. My collection also includes bills that are mangled, degraded, or mutilated, whether deliberately or through the vagaries of circulation.In short, my collection is an attempt to answer the question that no one ever asks: “What’s the worst looking bill anyone’s ever brought into your bank?”
Day by day, this blog will bring you the results of this attempt, along with assorted commentary on whatever else is tickling my brain.
Graffiti Currency was the reason I started blogging. Susie appreciated my GC posts on a regular basis. A man couldn't ask for anything more than to be appreciated for his driving passion. Susie's comments meant a lot, because it meant that someone was interested enough in my crap to keep coming back day after day. Having regular readers is what blogging is all about, and - like your first love - you never forget your first regular reader.
Don't know if I ever properly thanked her for that before, but I guess I have now.
Thank you, Susie.

Machelle--who you callin' a grandmother????? 
Me, I'm more into quality flicks, but I do have my weaknesses:
Jackie Chan's Fearless Hyena
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (only at a midnight showing with a bunch of lunatics)
Pretty much anything with Godzilla.
Your turn.

I honestly don't know what to say to this. Except that I've never seen such a thorough misunderstanding of basic economic concepts before. It's actually fascinating in a "slow-down-to-look-at-the-accident" sort of way. Here are some choice quotes:
A rising tax burden means rising prosperity... Why does it work this way? Productivity. Higher taxes push productivity higher. Studies show that stronger productivity [takes] place in a progressive tax structure when taxes are higher.Another effect of higher taxes is government spending. When taxes are higher it allows the government to invest in people and infrastructure. Education, public services, roads and other public works projects yield jobs. More jobs means more money in people's pockets.
The explanation for what's wrong with the above statements is as long and boring as every economics lecture always is, so I'm not going into it. Let's just say if you're familiar with the terms "laissez-faire", "Austrian School", or "Henry Hazlitt", you'll be laughing your ass off right about now.
