    Yep, it’s late but I can’t sleep and I went out for supper.  Deep fried green beans with a cucumber sauce…years ago when I was a stupid kid, I would’ve thrown up at the notion but I absolutely loved it but then what doesn’t taste good deep fried.  I also had me a Spotted Cow…beer is good.

    1.  Some people like using stock photos for their posts.  I don’t but oh well.  Here’s a collection of some of the most awkward stock photos.  Well I think a few of those could be used for Caturday.

    2.  Even Newsweek has a tumblr.  You really dropped the ball, Xanga Team.  You need to get some agency to work on Xanga instead of the ish sites.  Herman T. Zweibel could bring a lot of traffic to this site.

    3.  Do you like awesome photos?  Well duh, who doesn’t?  Here’s a site called Eyegasms.  It’s a fitting name

    4.  When I was teaching at a high school I vividly remember the contents of my office’s fridge.  It was just Mountain Dew.  The teacher I shared the office with loved his Mountain Dew and it made the day go by at a faster rate.  The other school I taught at had a fridge in the church kitchen and the only thing in that fridge was about 50 bottles of ketchup, mayo, mustard, and relish.  Why am I talking about fridges?  Well this site features things found in office refrigerators

    5.  Have you ever wondered what would happen if you mixed Tom Selleck with waterfalls and sandwiches?  Well this site, Selleck Waterfall Sandwich, answers that question.  The results aren’t that sexy or delicious.

    6.  One of the most annoying things on the internet is the CAPTCHA.  Half the time I can’t even read them and then the other half I laugh because they are such nonsense.  Well this site makes art out of some of the words in the CAPTCHAs they have found. 

    7.  Speaking of CAPTCHAs, here is Church of Inglip.  It’s a tale of a religion based on a CAPTCHA.  Go to the testimonial to read the story.  I forget who introduced me to this site but I know it was someone special…god I feel bad.

    8.  I was introduced to this site today by nattata.  You can make a song like the song “Barbara Streisand” by Duck Sauce by inserting your own words into the music.  Here is my hit song.

    9.  Have you ever wondered how much caffeine it would take to kill you?  Well this site, Death by Caffeine, is quite helpful in helping you figure out how much would kill you. 

    10.  Since no one got me any birthday presents may I drop a hint?  I know this says it’s a woman’s accessory but I so want a Nacho Wallet

    11.  I was thinking about how I am getting pretty desperate for female companionship and if I don’t do something soon, I’m just going to give up.  I figure I either give up or make a website like this.  Ladies, are your hearts aflutter?

    12.  Since it was President’s Day this week, here is a collection of some obscene presidential quotes.  And here’s a preview of our current president:


    And it was an awkward President’s Day around these parts.

    Oh I bet even people with a college degree could have been fooled by that one.

    The Middle East has had 2 revolts in the past 2 months and America has only had one in 235 years.  We are no longer the world’s best.  We need to step things up.

    Did you know Gaddafi was on Johnny Carson years ago?  Here’s what he was saying: “Boy, I tell you it’s hard to be a dictator; you get no respect.  When I went on my honeymoon with 8 of my wives, they made me wear a veil.  No respect.”

    I just saw this episode of The Simpsons and I can’t believe how dirty they were.  Do you get it?
