Check out photos from the Library of Congress on Flickr Commons (Nice bench shot of Dolores Park).

If this music doesn’t elicit some kind of memory or emotion, don’t bother with the rest of this post:

From College Humor, a series about the Street Fighters, ten years later. “Tigerrr. Tigerrrr. TIgrupppercut!” I totally remember pausing to peek at Chun-Li’s panties.

Look at who we picked to come home with us in 3-4 weeks. She does not have a name yet.

Prepare for a barrage of puppy photos over the next few months.

Think how mysterious the “Save” icon must be for kids using computers now. The icon is a floppy disk. There are people on computers that have never seen a floppy disk. Someone tell me how kids interpret the floppy drive “Save” icon these days.

Will optical drives (CD/DVD) go the way of the floppy too? Apple’s new laptop doesn’t have one!

Sugar free gum linked to weight loss

Sorbitol, used to sweeten sugar free gums and a known laxative, is linked to diarrhea in heavy gum chewers. Most U.S. gums use aspartame instead of sorbitol, so we’re ok. Or not. I chew Orbit gum. First ingredient: sorbitol. (And it has aspartame too). Sweet. Maybe this is why I poop all the time??? I’ve been chewing laxative after lunch.

Next time you see Vanessa and her shiny smile telling you about “that just brushed clean feeling,” think diarrhea.

The research was published in the British Medical Journal … aka BM Journal. Ha!

Aaaahahahaha. And he does the robot!

We were watching Clemson almost beat UNC (basketball), with their orange-clad coach. Mike and I decided we’re going to start our own school. Our team colors will be denim. Jeans and jean jackets as warm ups, denim cut-offs for shorts…
