I gotta admit it: that poster's pretty funny!

Alright, I've gotten enough people addicted to this site, that I thought it time to introduce the rest of you to the wonders of the "Am I Hot or Not" website.Other similar sites I've discovered include:
Rate My Rack.com (which is brand new and therefore doesn't have a lot of material yet)
...and Fat Chicks in Party Hats.com (which I haven't been able to access, but which should win some kind of award for it's URL, anyway.)

Since I know how much you all love them, I pass along this Bart-Story (about his cats) for you to enjoy on this Thursday afternoon:P.K. spent the night out the other night. We lock Tyler in at night and if P.K. doesn't come home by the time we go to bed, he's out for the night. Unfortunately, this usually means that, the next morning when he comes home, he's starving. For those of you who may not know, P.K. has an eating disorder. He doesn't chew his food and will swallow about a pound of it before projectile vomitting all over the house.
Anyway, he comes in yesterday morning after spending the night out and proceeds to gorge himself on Chef's Blend catfood (the kind with the fish and chicken shapes) before Dana takes it away from him. Every morning when I turn on my shower, P.K. jumps up on top of the glass doors and sits there while I shower. He did this yesterday, and I knew he had eaten all that food, I figured he was going to barf on me, but I gave him the benefit of doubt hoping that he could hold it until I was done.
Meanwhile, Tyler jumps up on the toilet and sits there looking at P.K. wishing he could attack him. I can't say for certain that what happened next was intentional, but I believe it was. P.K. leans over (perched on top of the shower about 7 feet in the air) and pukes all over Tyler. Tyler sits there for about 15 seconds wondering what the hell just happened, and then runs off. I'm standing in my shower looking at the horrible mess now covering the majority of my bathroom, and snickering at the same time. It would have been much funnier if I didn't have to clean it up.

If you have HBO and you're not watching Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm, you're doing yourself a disservice. Very funny show.

Thought I'd share this one with you all. In a fit of frustration at not being able to get a straight answer out of a colleague's office (where there are no fewer than 2 assistants, I might add), I shouted..."ya know, ev'ry time you call that freakin' office, it's like a tiny little car drives up and a dozen clowns fall out, give ya the wrong answer, and drive away!!!"

I rode a Metrobus for the first time today. The latest turn of events in the never-ending battery saga that has plagued my car since I got back from Vietnam, has left my car completely disabled, and I had asadistdentist appointment this morning. So, I hopped on the 2C bus into Vienna, and rode it to the bus stop which is a half-block from my dentist's office. On the way back, the bus stopped right in front of SAIC. Cool, huh? Well, maybe not, but it's nice that the public transportation was there and was so convenient.

Well, the Pen may have been right that the Presidential campaign was as boring as watching two old ladies with aluminum walkers running a marathon, but it sure is entertaining watching them try to break through the tape, isn't it?

I don't know 'bout you guys, but from where I sit, this election has certainly been a boon to the sagging forwarded e-mail humor market. Sheesh, I get like fifty a day.

This is funny: In May, Slate published an article about how political experts have come up with mathematical models to predict the outcome of elections months in advance. As an example of how these models are based on bullshit, they devised a model based on the score of the Superbowl which correctly predicts every presidential election since the first Superbowl. Well, their model predicted that Al Gore would win the election by 50.1 percent. Pretty impressive for a bogus model, huh?
