Some of you shrill knee-jerk legal pavlovian dogs obviously have not heard — OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD — THE WAR ON TERROR IS OVER — GET A LIFE.

I call my iPhone "my third brain"...you can probably guess where the other two reside.

Did I miss something or did all of the lists mentioned neglect toilet paper? If you come around my place looking for TP, note that my barter price is high (and lecherous.)

I do something similar but instead of my own accomplishments, I take note when a co-worker else helps me. Then I acknowledge their help usually with a gift (I prefer thinkgeek.com) and maybe a thank-you email cc'd to their boss (checking first to make sure the favor was something their boss would have approved.)

@djr1904: I feel you — this one dreads having to do the same for an aging parent, who rarely throws anything away in the expectation that "it might be useful someday."

@stationx: By what standard? The 9th Commandment says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" which equals slander, not lying...

To-do for today:

Observation: Having a large sum of cash and living a frugal life is like watching an organic meatbag drink himself sober.

Early to rise and early to bed, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and dead...

try taking some ex-lax dude and release the pressure!

I sent to the White House some time ago an idea for generating revenue — pay a fee to have a black square superimposed on your private parts.

Vonnegut also put out a brief essay, "How to Write With Style", back in the 70s or 80s that I still keep in one of my three-ring binders somewhere...

Cheap, "speckally" comp books — don't care too much if they're unlined, college-ruled, or grid.

I can imagine that someone wrote something similar about PCs circa 1980 and encountered a tsunami of indignation from "real computer" (i.e. VAX or 370) users...
