Roundup

From Alas, A Blog, I bring you this classic, which I've renamed:

Best. Editing. Error. Ever.

Just for the hell of it, some Bill Maher excerpts. Follow the numeric links to read a bunch more:
1. If you're over 20 and you have a doll in your house, you'd better be a guy and the doll better be inflatable.

2. New Rule: If your razor has five blades, it's not a razor, it's a weed-whacker. With the new Gillette Fusion razor, the first blade lifts the stubble; the second severs the hair follicle; the third slices your skin; the fourth scrapes bone marrow; and the fifth was used by O.J. Simpson to kill his wife, and he wants it back.

3. New Rule: The fortunes in fortune cookies have to be fortunes. "You surround yourself with good friends" is not a prediction. It's a compliment. Quit kissing my ass, cookie! If I'm going to sit through a plate of MSG-laden, twice-cooked kitty-cat, I want a real fortune like, "That meal you just ate is going to give you cancer."

4. New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to know in months. "27 Months." "He's two," will do just fine. He's not a cheese.

5. New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing "Enter," verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don't want cash back, and pressing "Enter" again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

Question: so is this guy a geek or a dork?

How about this guy?

I mean, they're skirting that geek/dork line, but I'm going with dork on #1 and geek on #2.

Speaking of guys, the question remains. . . .

I'll put my two cents' worth in later - this post is for fun stuff.
Let's not bicker and argue over who flamed who.

In the "awwww" inspiring mushy relationship department: Michelle is trying to revive the love letter as a genre, and is looking for suggestions.
And to for a good reminder about what's really important, read Waiter Rant. BTW - I don't ever miss his posts. They should syndicate his blog.
