What's mildly amusing you today? - Page 6

Flint · 06-19-2009, 03:44 PM

No, but I got some up-kilt shots you can flick your bean to.

Shawnee123 · 06-19-2009, 03:46 PM

Nah, your beans wouldn't turn on my bean.

Flint · 06-19-2009, 05:13 PM

Let's make three-bean salad, baby. . . . Tossed salad.

Shawnee and Flint are amusing me today.

But also amusing me is the footy on TV. When a player has exposed blood, they are obliged to leave the field. Play is stopped while that player is substituted. The TV shows a little "Blood Rule" sign in the corner of the screen ... which also includes an ad encouraging people to donate blood to the red cross... dunno why, but I find it amusing...

I run Google Analytics on my cooking blog, mostly because I find useless stats to be very interesting. It will tell you, among other things, the terms that people typed into their search engine that ultimately led them to click on the link to your site.

The best one so far?

ketchup as a lotion

She puts the ketchup on her skin, lest she gets the hose again...

I got an email from The Trading Post today, and the title of it was "Trish, Sell your car for $24.95 today!"

I ask you, who the fuck is going to sell their car for $24.95? Why not just dump it?

Anyway, obviously that wasn't what was meant, but I chose to read it that way and get a giggle out of it.

ZenGum · 07-03-2009, 08:44 AM

No kidding, one time - in Brisbane, no less - I sold a car for $25.

I'm glad I held out for that last five cents.

oh oh I have such a cute memory from yesterday and there isn't anyway to convey it to it's perfection with words. I guess you'd have to be there but I will try.

I needed a short shovel to mix compost into my soil this fall. I go to a used tool shop because I don't want to spend 5 dollars more on a new shovel, which if it hadn't been for the old time scene I saw, I might have passed on this old rusty thing. So this place is like the house version of someone's old greasy toolbox. Nothing is organized( much ) and scattered in places and I have to step over things and squeeze through but as I do manage to worm my way through I see there is a gathering of little old men at the back. I swear it looked like one of those old time shows where the old men are gathering having a hoot about one thing or another. About 6 men were sitting around a vacant place in one of the counters drinking coffee and laughing about some picture someone got of the internet. The only reason I know that much without snooping is I had to squeeze through to get to the back yard where the yard tools where. It was very Norman Rockwell - esk. I liked it.It amused me very much.

oh and I paid 5 dollars for a very old heavy short shovel but I felt it was worth the privilege of intruding on someone's front for an old mens club.

Ah, so you were the interloper, in the Old Men's Club alert that went out last night.

skysidhe · 07-03-2009, 09:29 AM

ha, I guess I was. A very unexpected rare peek at that!

Shawnee123 · 07-03-2009, 10:04 AM

What a sweet image, sky.

I'm finding it mildly ironic that I -a Brit- am paying taxes to the US government on Independance Day (or close enough)

Shawnee123 · 07-03-2009, 10:30 AM

Ha...just send me a check directly.
