I'm a female who plays games and have never cared who knows or what others think about my habits. To me its a non-issue. Things like this attention grabbing video sort of rub me the wrong way, these chicks want to be included yet want to be special. They want you to stand up and notice them. Notice that they have "nothing to prove". Well, which is it? .. make up your minds... honestly. Because where I'm standing, this looks like a lot of "we want attention, look at us!!"
Who cares if you game? Why make a lame video? seriously, I feel like a lot of females push themselves on the scene then give attitude when the scene reacts.
"I AM SPECIAL"
"No you're not"
"OMG HATER!"

One persons 5 seconds of "yeehaw" is another persons heartache.
What jerks, that looks like such a nice little jam and honey stand, and the novel purple chicken looks like it was much loved for ambiance.
Hopefully the news attention will give that jam stand more sales than a giant purple chicken ever could. You fought the good fight Mr.Chicken. Rest now.

Yay for equality! It's a pity that USA is so drenched in religion that the biggest question on everyone's lips is "When will someone try to destroy it"? Sad that we expect it, rather than just joke over it. I wonder if they have surveillance cameras watching it? It's almost like a speed trap, but for religious-fueled vandalism.

Looks tasty, but what a mess! Why sit it on top of crumbs and drizzle chocolate down the side of the cup? Its not a cake! :P

I loved the beanie baby craze. It was really fun to go hunting for "rares" and finding them at flea markets, yard sales or taking a trip to small towns near the canada border where they had some semi-rare ones still on shelves. It was just a fun thing to do. For me it was never about the value, It was just a fun time, and a good excuse to get out of the house and off on a scavenger hunt/shopping adventure. I ended up giving all mine away to my Nephew. I kept one rare I found though, just because it has a story attached to it. Fun times. We need another fun fad like that.

That took me way longer to decipher than it should of. I kept thinking the first one read "areht" (great) and upside down was "syslit" (myself). Guess I need more coffee...

Flashback time for me. I had a tiny baby spider hatchling drop down near the driver-side window on the inside of my car yesterday while I was driving. Imagine having a major freakout, while still being a responsible driver. Biggest challenge of my life was staying focused and calmly parking my car so I could scoop it in a cup and let it out of the car. It was hovering right above my shoulder for way too long. Not an easy task, and I still do the creeped out dance thinking about it.

Also:
Cart return - most places
Carriage Return - Not called that in the NW.

Parenting: Doing it right.
My aunt did something similar one year for an easter egg hunt. Man we had to work for those eggs.

Rusting plastic makes my head hurt. They look cool though.

Zero TV'er here. I buy the shows I enjoy via amazon, netflix, or vudu. Regular TV is just so much crap. I don't need/want a crapton of boring sports, cooking or reality TV shows and adverts to try and find good sci-fi or fantasy series I enjoy.

When working around the house, TV just bugs me. I prefer OPB (public radio) programs or the news. Radio was designed around not being seen, so if you're a multi tasker who's not really watching the TV anyway, its just ideal. TV requires too much visual attention to get the full gist of whats going on. Radio has TV beat in this dept. Nothing better than a rainy day, working on a craft project, and listening to Moth Radio Hour. BLISS!

Sounds sort of creepy, I wonder how they tested it?

Scenerio:
Dolphin Mark: "Hey Bill... BILL. Did they capture you too?"

Dolphin Bill: "Yeah, Mark. I'm ok though. How about you?"

Dolphin Mark: "I'm fine... wait... you hear something?"

HUMAN: BILL....

Dolphin Bill: "Wh...what was that...?!?"

HUMAN: MARK....

Dolphin Mark: "What the hell, who's calling me?"

HUMAN: Biiiiilllll, MaRK.... BILL.... bill...BiLLLLL.....

Both dolphins: O_O

Ew...its like a diabetic burrito.

Pisses me off. The difference between the rich and the general populace should not be so damn drastic. This is a world gone wrong.
