Randomly random website of the Day!




Happy Monday all! I found a website a bit more bizarre than this here blog!

www.file-swap.com

So if you are as random as me, check it out. However, I do not assume responsibility upon getting addicted.

Seriously, after you submit a file from your computer you get one back from some other strange stranger's computer that they submitted. It's so weird & just plain dumb all wrapped up nice & neatly together until you stumble upon a somewhat total left park one. Then, it's kinda worth the 30 seconds of your time, kinda maybe, well for me which isn't saying much I guess. I appreciate the koo-koo abroad submissions which is where the addiction comes into play. Once you get a good one, you want to keep going to see if you can top the weirder one you just got. Anyways...

I have attached a few of my favorites. I particularly adore the man at the beach. Nothing like seeing a poor fella trying to find treasure in the sand but losing a shoe in the process...dig deeper buddy...beyond the metal bottle caps you're sure to find the pirates chest, I have faith in you!!

Then, I just threw in the bearded runner aka TeenWolf for kicks. Nothing like a jog in the mountains with a giant beard & extrememly short shorts. He might be on a man hunt for the ladies & brought along a few of his drinking buddies. Dude to the right may not make it so keep an eye on him & doesn't drop from the pack.

Okay & the last one, I have no idea...gotta love a Russian scale that you can't read...a good way to keep a positive image about yourself especially around Thanksgiving & Christmas...hey, I just ate a whole pie & now I only weigh SDFIOHNOWE - yes!!!

Pay up for that muffintop!!


This article today had me cracking up. It was about "fat" people & note that it's not spelled with a "ph" either!! And they ain't gonna go down like that...

I will highlight a few of my favorite sentences...

The state (Alabama) has given its 37,527 employees a year to start getting fit — or they’ll pay $25 a month for insurance that otherwise is free.

Alabama will be the first state to charge overweight state workers who don’t work on slimming down, while a handful of other states reward employees who adopt healthy behaviors.

Alabama already charges workers who smoke — and has seen some success in getting them to quit — but now has turned its attention to a problem that plagues many in the Deep South: obesity


“It’s terrible,” said health department employee Chequla Motley. “Some people come into this world big.” <-ain't nothing wrong with a little cushion for the pushin'

Computer technician Tim Colley already pays $24 a month for being a smoker and doesn’t like the idea of another charge. <- dang, my man gots a double whammy comin'! Richard Simmons to the rescue, please!!

“I’m big and beautiful and doing my best to keep my stress levels down so I can stay healthy,” Daufin said. “That’s big, not lazy, not a glutton and certainly not deserving of the pompous, poisonous disrespect served up daily to those of us with more bounce to the ounce.” <- you go guuurl!!

I have to admit this is a bit "big brotherish" but the fact that you're work gets involved in your caloric intake & body mass index is sad crazy eyes!!

VENT!!


Vent not like the bath fan - as in the local newspaper lets you submit vents about things that tick you off. Well, now the vent actually made it worse & I'm venting about the vent - now go figure that out! I submitted a couple lines about our local county motto "success lives here" & kinda knocked it in a witty banter. Well, others that read it online can vote & make your score go up or DOWN...Well, mine started out strong...and a couple hours later....I'm third from the bottom. I actually got got a little upset this fine Friday afternoon but no tears. Then I thought WWJD - what would Jesus do?" kidding but I did think "don't get mad, get even". So, I submitted another vent to let these fellas know, "For all of you who knocked my score down, ARGH!, you should be oh so lucky they don't post your face next to your vote" - yeaaa so there! Ahhh now I feel better, let those readers know who's boss in this town - HAVE A NICE DAY!

Blogger McBloggsy


BLOG = Web log (as in my little journal to document all the stuff no one wants to hear me talk about yet I post it to the Internet for anyone to stumble upon boredness) = Awesomely bad

And I have also recently discovered the inticing button "Next Blog" at the top of the page. How nice of Mr.Corporate McBloggersome to provide us with a link to other people's random turkish delight. I just get so frustrated when the ASn'DKR*OWeHN (foreign & uncomprehendable) ones pop up & the hieroglyphic scripture is used to describe the whatchmacallit photo - ARGH! my little overseas friends, what are you trying to relay to me????? Tell me...send me 3 smoke rings if it is important!!

Sidenote: if you stumble upon this website from hitting "next blog" - leave a comment, it would tickle my funnybone!

Grrrreat Smmooooky Mountains


Took a little getaway trip this weekend...to a place where fanny packs are rocked out & jean shorts are a plenty!! Gatlinburg,TN - a lovely little tourist trap where people watching is the most fun. I mean don't worry about packing your nice threads otherwise you actually be stared & laughed at...in the best Dolly Parton accent you'll hear the whispers of the lil country dumplins - "whur duz she thank she is??? the junior prom??" I learned reallll fast except I opted not to tease my hair!!

Then, you've heard of the phrase "they came out of the mountains"...well we went up to the mountains to mingle with the dashing tree huggers except we made the mistake of showering before we left. Went up to Clingman's Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains on the way home - saw a nice little fella I needed to snap a momento photo of...no, it's not a girl, I know it's hard to tell from behind...he's just a dude sportin' the grey hair of Rapunzel that he used to get out of his log cabin castle to take a little hike! Not sure what all he's packing in that satchel but I'm sure he's prepared to ward off any black bears with some sort of ninja star. Oh, and thank goodness he wore those socks with those sandals who knows what kind of critters might be biting at his heels!! I'm sure he only wore them for this special outing

Daily Horoscope


Ummmm...so I had an itch to look into my daily crystal ball & see all the good and/or bad I had to look forward to today. You know, how some cryptic writer decides what will happen to every single solitary Libra in the entire universe today! Even so, I always feel they have me in mind...I mean, what if no one else reads it today...then it is meant for me, right? It's like a free psychic reading.

Okay, with that being said & seeing how serious I take this insight - I had to post what it said today because after reading it, I was humorously baffled.

Libra for Aug 15, 2008
You are famously sociable, but today is almost ridiculous! Your great social energy makes you a hit with almost everyone you meet, so try to get out there and mix it up with folks a little!

Nuff said!

I mean, I could have told you that if you asked & they are right, it is almost ridiculous...I'm not just social, I'm famously sociable. However,it's almost like a 15 year old girl wrote that before she left to go to the high school pep rally. Heeeeheee!

So, I guess I shouldn't be wasting my time any more writing this - I'm using up my social energy hourglass!!!

Love me some contest entry!


I never win anything. Let me rephrase that - I never win anything & get something for free...last time I so-called "won" something was a parking pass lottery in college. Yay me, I actually get to park on campus to attend some class that I'll never benefit from ever again & pay $250 for this privaledge...Actually I was excited so I didn't have to knock other students teeth out & mud wrestle them in the dirt lot after class because we got in a fight for a parking spot! So, in that aspect I was a winner!

But in high hopes of some day winning something amazing...I will personally seek out contests via Internet or even at the local sandwich shop. Poo, no such luck! No HGTV Dream House, no free lunch...nothing. I did get excited once when I wrote to the makers of Werthers that they no longer carried the candy in Kroger nor QT & I was sadly addicted to them & needed them to replenish their stock, I got an envelope full of coupons. It was a little embarrasing redeeming them but I did. I drove out of my way to go to my non-regular Kroger, Publix like a criminal with a bad habit.

My next feat that I'm out to conquer is the naming of the new Gwinnett Braves Mascot - not because I want to be remembered as the chick who named him & go down in history, ahh who cares about that. No, because the winner gets a free trip to Portland, $200 cash, rental car, tickets to a AAA baseball game - heck ya! I'm gonna name this little gopher, beaver, groundhog looking thing & squeeze all that creative juice I got flowing out!!

So, that was the problem - they posted a cute little cartoon looking picture of this mascot & I just assumed it was some beaver or something. It had big ole teeth & brown fuzzy fur so I decided on Chopper! Good right? I mean, big teeth & chopper is a baseball term...Chipper plays on the Atlanta Braves...so I'm thinking, "I got a shot at this sucka!" Oh, then they write an article about the naming of this critter & it turns out to be some local Groundhog caracature. Yikes! Groundhogs don't have "choppers" - at least I don't think so? The picture did so it was quite decieving & I had a drop of sweat plop on my keyboard as I quickly tried to get back to the drawing board, make that re-adjusting my thinking cap!!

Then, my Gwinnett history knowledge came to the rescue...why not call him Button? Yes! Button as in Button Gwinnett - who the county was named after! I am genius...I am looking into Portland tourism & day trips. I submitted it under my fiance's name in case you can't have duplicate entries cause I wouldn't want to get disqualified now would I? Plus, since I never win anything, maybe he will win...cause he does win stuff! He's won $100 lottery tickets back to back all the way through Florida on a trip. We finally had to stop playing & cash out because we hit the Alabama border! He's won a $15,00 4 wheeler from an Equipment Leaser...I mean, we're talking good stuff here! Now watch, he'll win & become the hometown hero, get the key to the city, and some statue outside the stadium. That's okay cause in my heart, I will know, I will know, my friends and that's all that matters!!

One man's trash is another man's treasure...



So, you've heard the phrase - One man's trash is another man's treasure. Well, not in this case, my friend, sorry!

Whenever I need a 10 minute afternoon boost to get me through the rest of the day at work, I ever so quietly take a quick browsing of craigslist...ahhh...the joy of laughing at how ridiculous people can be when no one knows who they are!!

I've never seen so much crazy sh*t posted in one spot before. I mean there are certain links I don't even dare to click on in fear of what I might find (ie Personals)..I'm not even going to go there, I bet there are some creepy deepy people lurking in that area. Not that I'm looking but if it's as good as some crazy rip roaring posts in the other areas, it leads to the curiosity of the rest of the site.

The section that gives me that warm tummy feeling is all the crap posted under "Free". I think they outta post their face along with the junk they are trying to give away. I bet there'd be a lot less listings. I wouldn't dare to claim that I owned & was trying convince someone to take all my icky stuff! Seriously, it's quite hilarious. I only click on the ones with pictures because those give you the best click your heels laughter.

See EXHIBITS A,B above

A)Clock Radio - circa 1979; last dusted 1988
POSTING: Clock radio. Works great

ME: Yep, point blank that's all they could say about it - works great cause there's nothing else great about it. It just gets you up in the morning & can tell you the time and that's it! But hey it's free so you can't complain, right...how lovely! I just love how they didn't even try to polish it up for the picture. I mean, really, how hard would that have been?

B)Video Rewinder - circa I have no idea cause I've never heard of this before
POSTING:Kinyo video tape rewinder. Stops when the tape is rewound. Works fine

ME: First of all, they mentioned a brand name - why? Moving on, description is very descriptive, thank you for the information! I like how this one only "works fine" not great like the clock radio & another dirty item in their household under the free section. Nice work! I don't even think they know how funny they are...I bet you they took this serious when they listed it! I just can't even believe they took the time to do it at all.

However, they probably wonder why I even took the time to write about it. Once again, moving on!

Autoresponse











You too will think you got some crazy eyes...just when you thought that YOU have seen the greatest of all great Autoresponses via email....I just received the best.

This is coming from a legitimate manufacturer of products we represent on a serious level. Oh yes, this is real!

You will ask yourself three questions
1) Are they hiring?
2) What am I doing at work?
3) Is today opposite day?

Company 'X' will be closed Monday, August 11th, 2008 due to the observation of a Rhode Island holiday Victory Over Japan Day. Your messages and emails will be responded to promptly on Tuesday, August 12th when we return. Thank you for your understanding.

I mean I guess I would be celebrating it if I was the tiniest state in the US & I won a victory over an entire country...I'm not really sure what I am talking about here seeing as I've never heard of this victory. But, now it makes sense why Company X moved their factory from Maine....hmmm..I need to investigate this further, slackers!

Pretty Kitty






Today is Kitty Cat Appreciation Day. A day to observe all the pretty little kitties out there who bring us so much love & affection. A special thank you to you my little Halle cat. May you celebrate this purrrfect day with an extra bounce in your step & lots of sandpaper kisses!!

8-8-08













Today's freaky-deeky date. Well,I don't really know why it's freaky-deeky, it's just the same number repeated thrice (like that word, me too)...It's not like I'm suddenly going to become some totally outrageous superhero for the day like She-Ra & defy gravity. I already tried & I've got 2 skinned kneecaps & a killer black eye right now! Argh! Maybe that's what I'll do instead...run around with a patch over my eye, buy a stuffed parrot to put on my shoulder (cause a real one would just fly away), and act like a sexy lady pirate! Eww yea, that sounds that sounds like a good Friday night plan!

But, I need to incorporate an Asian theme to it. Since 8 is their uber lucky number & if I want to win that jackpot lotto tonight I better order some Poo Poo Platter & a dozen fortune cookies to consume that lucky energy. I don't think overusing the eyeliner to create a slant eye effect & talking in broken English will bring me much prosperity...I would tend to think it would bring the reverse & Lord knows I don't need that! My credit card has smoke rising off it from being swiped so much lately - shoo-weee!


















This is just meant to be a random daily comment rant, rave or just plain idiotic statement...

Crazy Eyes...inspired from the character in the movie Mr.Deeds

Not to be confused with the Runaway Bride chick from Gainesville, sorry Jennifer Wilbanks - we are over you & your crazy eyes!

See picture for visual explanation...
