Also, Elves (probably NSFW).

Is the Chrome Pilot program coming to the UK? I’d love to get my hands on one of those netbooks.

I know it is the season of giving this holiday season but somehow I am really bothered when I approach an intersection and there are people there walking up and down asking for donations for such and such charity. Or it’s a supposedly homeless person or someone down on his/her luck. I don’t usually mind giving on my own, but somehow when I’m a sitting duck in my car, this really annoys me.

People are going to start putting “No Soliciting” stickers on their car doors.

This. It is a wondrous thing.

SO COLD. Holy crap this is unnecessary.

Is haggis any good at all?

My mother has been a nurse, LPN/RN kinda thing, for almost 40 years.
She’s smart. She’s very smart.

Why is it when she sends me a message by email, or facebook (shudder), I can barely read it. Sometimes it makes no sense at all and i have to call her to get it deciphered.

I can only imagine what folks think of her messages at her job.

Kind of a rhetorical question. It’s just makes me wonder sometimes. About Mom, not the haggis.

Yes.5

Haggis is decent. Not at all this horror story that pop culture would have you believe. Yeah, it sounds weird - but have you ever actually thought about cheese?

There’s a Scottish pub not too far (it’s a bit of a ways) from where I work and they serve Haggis (though in sausage casings, not sheep stomach) and it was tasty. Really not as strange as it sounds.

Dear Barnes and Noble:

It is incredibly awkward for everyone when you slap the LGBT section right in between the Bibles and Christian Fiction.

Seriously. Wtf were you thinking.

Thanks.

Every time I see LGBT abbreviated, my brain wants to insert vowels. “Lug Butt?”

One Barnes & Noble around here has the Bible section right next to the sex and erotica section. The aisle of nervous tension!

It’s always looked like a sandwich to me.

Lettuce, Guacamole, Bacon, and Tomato? If I ever open up a deli, I am putting that on the menu.

I hate having to give a urine sample at the doctor’s office. Why do they think it will be easy when the bathrooms are dark with paper thin walls such that you hear conversations in the adjacent rooms? Not an environment likely to bring the relaxation necessary to produce unless you drank a gallon of water ahead of time.

Which is basically my strategy at this point. Otherwise nothing happens.

So I checked this morning and saw I had a message on my phone from my doctor, wanting me to call back to discuss test results from yesterday (I also had some blood drawn). Too bad they don’t have a direct line, as I’ve tried calling three times in the last 1.5 hours and each time ended up on hold for so long that I’ve given up. Way to go, doctor’s office!

Ouch, hope it’s nothing serious, Sarkus!

Needed crushed candy canes for a cookie recipe, but I lack a rolling pin or a hammer. Solution? Beat the hell out of them with an iron.

AaronSofaer is unjustifiably amused by this.
