Be sure to read the comments to see Metrobloggers and readers engage in a math fight to determine whether or not Johnny Rockets can indeed make a burger more than a million ways.
We received a package the other day containing a bunch of photos from the wedding, and a DVD with 558 images on it. Ten percent of those have been posted to the Flickr group, including lots of photos of the wedding guests.
For any of you who might be interested (I’m looking at you, Mom), I upload the photos at full resolution, so if you’re a Flickr member (free!) you can order prints of any of them through the Flickr interface. You can even do one-hour photo pickup at your local target! Keen!
How do I know I’m a geek?
I laughed REALLY HARD when I saw that Merlin had tagged this article with “assistedsuicide” on del.icio.us.
So, time to create my own meme:
Is it worse to have a particularly famous ho-bag make childish remarks about your weight, or is it worse to BE the ho-bag who takes it up the ass from married men for money?
Make all the cracks you want, at least Tom only has sex with his own wife.
(It is at this point that I will remind the trolls just who it is who pays for this space and therefore sees all commenters’ IP addresses. Don’t shit on my couch.)
You know what would be great? If the spammers pushing the Indian pr0n could STOP ASSAULTING MY BLOG! That would rock.
Assholes.
There’s a perfectly lovely piece published in Slate today:
Third, the woman serves the man’s need to be needed. If no one needs you, what good are you, and what are you here for? Other people—employers, students, readers—may say that they need you. But it isn’t true. In all such relationships you are replaceable at some price. But to this woman you are not replaceable at any price. And that gives you the self-esteem to go out and meet the world every day.
…I see that I have written these views entirely from the point of view of the man. That is only natural for me. But I don’t for a minute think that the relationship I have been trying to describe is one-sided. On the contrary, I am sure it is reciprocal.
