my stomach will never be the same

this is one of the worst things i've ever seen -- at least for someone who's afraid of heights. as for the rest of you -- go on, sit on top of a snowy ledge in the wind.

hamsterfuge

did you see this funny video about the hamsters? apparently they are the smallest, fastest of the breed. at any rate, watch the video -- it's really funny. and you have to wonder how they keep from being dizzy.

greedy businesses

i don't quite get this article about it being illegal now, for people to unlock their cell phones for use with a different carrier. cell companies already have the privilege of charging their customers hundreds of dollars if they switch to a different carrier before their contract is up so why this deal with the phone? not that i understand why anyone would do it and it sounds like they would do it before their contract was up. i'm in the dark except it sounds like consumers are getting screwed again. and verizon's heavy hand was one reason i left them when i was able. fuckers. i am quite happy with consumer cellular -- no contract and i can use my phone right at the border. which i could not with verizon. consumer cellular may be geared toward old people, but it's the absolutely best deal in all areas, so why consider anything else?!

they want money

retailers have been given permission to charge their customers who use a credit card. even though it appears many companies may not do that, at this time, don't be surprised if it happens to you at some point. in which case i will simply use cash. and then they will probably charge people for using cash.

lovely things

very cool. literally. i mean, if you can't have snow, you can look at pictures of it. but what i really liked was looking at the video at the bottom of the article -- beautiful visuals and wonderful music!

who knew they had a sense of humor?

the current administration has decided not to build a death star. if you're incensed about that, here are the reasons why.

how many what? sing right now? cows?

good grief! these are the kinds of questions that go with a job application these days? as if there's not enough wrong with this country ....

where'd they go?

this is HI-LAR-ious!!! this guy disguises himself and goes through the drive-through, but the people at the window don't see anyone. too funny!
