You can't make this up

"Will trade Donkey for Gas Golf Cart"

Man, I wish I had a golf cart.

Not exactly what I was looking for

[jordanna]

What amazes me more than this product's existence, is the fact that 3 out of 3 reviewers gave it five stars. It must take a certain kind of person.

If the baby weighs 1 lb now, what are the other 20.5 for?

That is a first

[jordanna]

I was looking for Tucson farmer's markets and found the following:

Rincon Valley Farmers Market

Open every Saturday, rain or shine, the market offers fresh produce, breads, coffees, teas, plants, tamales, emu oil and salsa. Live entertainment is also provided.

EMU OIL? According to the interweb, it is apparently the latest and greatest in relief of any and all skin ailments. Including hemorrhoids. According to wikipedia it is predominately oleic acid, with some linoleic acids (Omega 3 and 6) thrown in, which would explain the benefits. Personally, I try and avoid rubbing dead birds on my body. Call me squeamish, I'll go for the olive and flax seed oils every time.


Freakin' Brilliant

Possibly the best thing about my new work location: The University of Arizona library staff will scan and email you articles from their print journals so that you don't have to go there and photocopy it (if you have a valid library account). Saves them wear and tear on their originals, saves paper, and ensures that my butt will continue to take on the shape of my office chair. And, now I will no longer ignore important citations because I am too lazy to go to the library and get them.

I can't wait to play this

[jordanna]

As a warning to anyone who is planning to come visit us, I will probably put you through playing this game once:

I have yet to try it, but it looks like a blast.

Missed the mark

[jordanna]

If these people really wanted to reduce fear of childbirth, couldn't they have picked a picture of a baby that didn't look like it just came off the set of The Ring?

Because women can't operate a level

[jordanna]

I just found an ad on craigslist entitled "Need more time to FOLD SOCKS?" (the caps were their idea), complete with a hilariously chauvenistic picture.

Of course, I was as work for three hours today before I discovered my shirt is on inside out, and I'm not even blond.

When you really want a camera

[jordanna]

I drove Ty into work today, and on the way we had two seperate incidents of 'We really need to keep the camera in the car':

1. Christmas carnage arizona style: The minimist desert landscape and the low, flat rooftops here have resulted in the bizzarre popularity of inflatable christmas decorations. It is not uncommon to walk through our neighborhood, hear a blower, round the corner and see a billowing nylon representation of Santa and his reindeer. We had a recent cold snap, and this apparently affected our neighbors setup. We drove by to see the proud waving santa, jolly snowman, and cutsie penguin reduced to post-dorothy wicked witch of the west pools on their roof.

2. We're in slightly different culture now: The license plate holder on the F350-Dually truck in front of us read "Burning Gas & Hauling Ass". Ahhhhh, America.
