Sunday Stealing: The Imaginary Meme, Part One

1. Have you ever peed your pants as an adult?
Full throttle empty my bladder peeing? No. Leakage? Yes. Carbonated drinks really do me in. One time I was trying to making it home from a day of kayaking and just. couldn’t. hold. it. I leaked. But I totally relieved myself in the yard. It’s good to be the guy. BTW: in Costa Rica, it is very common to see cab drivers and truckers peeing alongside the road. Very.
2. Who do you have a celebrity crush on now? I share a crush with St. Todd deCubbville on Sofia Vergara. Just looked at her website and I’ll probably be spending more time there. I also like Kim Spradlin the winner of Survivor: One World.
3. Would you date someone you met online?
No looking, but I know at least two couples my age that met online. So, yeah.
4. Do you wear underwear always?
No. You don’t want to know more, right?
5. Do you hate yourself at times?
No.
7. Do you like dirty movies?
Well, “dirty”? Raunchy, racy yes.
8. Could you believe Josha Ledet was voted off Idol?
Who? We didn’t watch one episode for the last two seasons.
9. When was the last time that you bought a car?
That would be the Dodge Magnum Station Wagon Kayak Hauler
10. Have you ever been camping?
Yes, a lot when I was a kid. We guys from the neighborhood would load up a small hay trailer and hook it to the back of the John Deere and off we would go to a local river, forest or lake.
My parents like to camp too, so we took a lot of camping vacations. As an adult, I took a hiatus because Nanc’ also camped as a kid and hated it. My last camp-out was an overnighter on the Barren River whilst kayaking.
11. How many times a day do you go on facebook?
Three.
12. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
I Don’t Know, starring Can’t Remember and I Forget. It’s been at least two years.
13. Have you ever worried that you’d cut off a limb?
Many times. Assuming you meant a body part. I draw blood a lot when hacking the greenery.
14. Where did you get your last email from?
 65.111.175.195
15. Favorite website?
16. Are you down with ghetto?
I don’t know what that means
17. Will the world end in fire or ice?
Icy Hot
18. Do you believe in the afterlife?
No.
19. Would you be upset if facebook stopped working?
No. It would be a good thing for all of humanity.
20. How did you start your blog?
How or why? How? I use WordPress, Bluehost.com and GoDaddy.com

Now the Liars Have Turned Into Spammers

Published on July 16, 2009 in Money, Shopping and Writing. 0 Comments


A couple days ago I explained how a bunch of goofball writers bought a bunch of stuff at thrift stores and put it on eBay writing lies about the backstory of each item.

Genius was the term I used. Now, I’m changing my tune.

Liars and spammers is who they are.

We’ll be adding a new story every single weekday, through July and August at least. (We’ve gotten a lot of great early press/blog coverage.) The writers are coming up with amazing stuff: Funny, sad, poignant, weird, perverse. And we have some interesting collaborations in the works that will take the story/object team-up in different directions still.

Not only are they liars, they stole the emblem of the Salvation Army!

I was kidding around before, but today I got some spam from them. And we all know how we love spam.

So I’m just getting the word out. Bidding aside, I hope you’ll check out some of the stories. (Though obviously I’d be thrilled if you chose to support these writers with a bid.) Leave a comment, tell a friend — or just enjoy some very imaginative new fiction, for free. We think it’s a cool way of thinking about objects and value.

Well guess what? Lying and spamming and stealing a charity logo is not “cool.”

Especially when they didn’t link back.

Losers.

Have You Tried Being a Twilight Blogger?

Published on June 7, 2009 in Baby Boomer, Blogging, Shopping, Technology and Writing. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Do you resemble the any of the people in Twilight? (Except you would be older – because Twilight is about teenage vampire sex and angst. People who read this blog don’t have any of those.)

I’m not talking about blogging about Twilight, I’m talking about blogging in the Twilight.

I like it, and recommend Twilight computer use – outside. Did I forget to mention I meant blog outside in the Twilight?

Now that the evenings are in the mid 70′s, it’s the perfect time to drag your laptop outside and find a place in the shade with a nice breeze and give it a go.

I’m sitting in the NASCAR/Cigar Bar right now with Sedona laying a few feet away, nose and ears twitching to catch every scent and sound.

It’s not twilight as I write this, it’s about noon, so it’s closer to 85 degrees, but the breeze is wonderful.

I’m catching up with reading the Sunday Stealing Memes and dropping little turd comments all over the blogosphere.

Battery is at 38 minutes, which is great. It will force a shutdown soon. Twilight blogging/reading should not go on for hours.

Even in the shade I found there is one required purchase: a shade for your laptop. If you are handy you can make one… I bought this…

Before the shade, I spent a lot of time hunting for my cursor. I thought about downloading an app that would make a giant cursor, but that probably would also load me down with malware.

There still is a pretty bad reflection off the screen, but not so much that I can’t handle it in the shade. In the bright sun, I’m dead. Just like the Vampires of Twilight.

bwahahahahaa.
