TFTD: Objectify Your Mental Processes

In order to recognize our self-image, we can no longer identify with it. In other words, we have to learn how to objectify our own mental processes.

Found this in my error log. Apparently somebody drops nasties in people’s image directories and induce other folks to access the nasty. Fortunately the file doesn’t exist in my image directory. I can’t guess whether it was ever there, or whether the tech guys at the host removed it for me.

I see from looking online that if it were there, it would download a Bagel variant.

TFTD – Hearse

On the way over to Whole Foods today I saw an odd vehicle, a white Cadillac hearse. I said, “What the f**k kind of hearse is white?”

My husband’s answer: “A bridal hearse?”

Dark, really dark.

McCain – Sleepwalking Ambien Ad?

ABC News: McCain’s Ambien Use: a Security Threat?

So much for that 3AM phone call. With his sleeping pills John McCain won’t even hear the phone ring. A worse scenario, however, is that he gets up and starts World War IV while in a drug-induced fugue state.

“The key is to use Ambien-like sleeping medications in moderation and don’t mix them with other sedative drugs or alcohol. Most importantly, avoid use in the event you have to consider escalation from Defcon 4 to Defcon 3.”
— Dr. Peter A. Fotinakes, medical director of the St. Joseph Sleep Disorders Center in Orange, Calif.

Enter the Dragon

Neowin Giveaway >> 31 Days of the Dragon

If you haven’t heard about the HP 31 Days of the Dragon, hear about it. They’re giving away a kick-@55 computer every day for 31 days. Neowin wanted to get folks to participate so I generated an mp3 about what I’d do if I had a dragon. Which I don’t.

The first thing I thought of was Puff the Magic Dragon. Most of the folks who were around for that whiny little gem now pretend that they never puffed, or if they did, they didn’t inhale. Trust me, guys, your mom and dad – or grandma and grandpa – burned enough rope to reach Colombia and back. They already [b]had[/b] their dragon and they traded it in for an Escalade.

So then I thought of the Dragonriders of Pern. It had its moments, but all-in-all I want a dragon, not a horse with wings. If I wanted a horse with wings I’d get a Unicorn – or is that a Pegasus? Well, it would have to be the one that doesn’t need for me to be pure of heart.

How about the dragon in The Hobbit? Smog was it? No, Smaug! Jewel-encrusted underbelly and all. If I had that sucker and his treasure I could buy a laptop the size of New Jersey. Too late, that little bugger Frottage or Frodo or whatever his name was killed Smaug, took the loot, and wasted it all on half-pints. And beer. Not a bad deal, actually.

I briefly considered that Robo-dragon in Dr. No, but even as a kid it didn’t frighten me. I need something really scary.

And then I thought of it! Here’s my dragon and what I would do with it. Kneel before me!

East Coast Lawnmower

East Coast Lawnmower Dark T-Shirt > East Coast Lawnmower | CafePress

Wow, it’s the perfect t-shirt for Father’s Day. Don’t tell Mr. X I made him one for his birthday instead of buying him that riding mower he thinks he’s getting.

East Coast Lawnmower T-Shirt

I think I’m finally getting the hang of this Adobe Photoshop thing. I am tragically untalented.

Wireless Bidet

Why does a bidet need to be wireless?

I think I’ll start a new category for things that don’t need to be wireless.
