You Are Not a Wimp |
 In fact, you are an incredibly tough person. Your nerves do not get the better of you. You don’t back down from challenges or intimidating situations. |
If the quiz had said otherwise, the monitor would have a .45 caliber hole in it.

I was checking my Twitter homepage a few minutes ago, and saw the 2 items almost side by side:
Slashdot: IT Jobs To Drop In 2009
Either IT folks are dropping like flies, or the two news items are not related.

I’m a huge Muppets fan. Maybe because I’m a kid a heart, maybe because I used to do puppetry at Church many, many years ago. Regardless, I was excited to hear talk of a new TV show and/or movie coming up. Supposedly, Disney is using YouTube for a viral marketing campaign. So, like The Disney Blog, I’m doing my part to spread the word:

I appreciate the fact that you’re a new realtor in a struggling market. I appreciate the fact that you’re trying to drum up business by soliciting those that you consider “friends,” even though I would personally put us more in the “casual acquaintance” category.
But wanting to come by and talk to us about finding out our homes’ value, “once we’re settled in from having the new baby?” C’mon. Maybe “casual acquaintance” is being generous.

Officer Accused Of Threatening Starbucks Managers For Free Coffee
An internal police investigation found that Daytona Lt. Major Garvin received free coffee for about two years from a city Starbucks coffee store.
…
However, when recently denied free coffee from new management, Garvin allegedly told managers that he could change the police department’s response time if they refuse to give him complimentary drinks.
Garvin is accused of saying, “If something happens, either we can respond really fast or we could respond really slow. I’ve been coming here for years and I’ve been getting whatever I want. I’m the difference between you getting a two-minute response time, if you needed a little help, or a 15 minutes response time.”

If you don’t subscribe to The Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web email, you’re missing out on some of the best conservative snark and kerfluffle commentary on the Internet.
Today’s example revolves around Apple’s new… well, whatever it is that they supposedly released on Friday. I think I saw one or two news blurbs about it.
Mystery Solved
Freud famously asked: What do women want? The Associated Press reports that one young man believes he has discovered the answer:Nick Epperson, a 24-year-old grad student, spent the night outside an AT&T store in Atlanta, keeping his cheer up with bags of Doritos, three games of Scrabble and two packs of cigarettes. Asked why he was waiting in line, he responded simply “Chicks dig the iPhone.”
James Taranto’s comment?
The jury is still out as to whether chicks dig Dorito-munching, chain-smoking, Scrabble-playing grad students.
Great stuff. Go subscribe now.

I’m just reporting.
On the eve of Brad’s birthday, Charla told him that his present was going to be sex with her every day for a year. She had wracked her brains to think of a gift that was original, intimate and - most importantly - memorable.
