A Fishy Tale
As I was driving around in my car (um, as compared to what the hell else obviously) I noticed once again a sign for a "Jonas Fish Fry." Those have always kinda snagged my interest because I have never had an opportunity to go to one. I do enjoy seafood but think that calling it a "fish fry" is a bit misleading. Now I understand that the whole marketing/advertising thing along with our undereducated population is going to mandate that the word "fish" be used, but from a technical standpoint, whales are mammals and not fish. Granted that they sure as hell look like a fish and with their stomping grounds being in the water, it is hard to make a case against the whole fish logo so I'll just roll with it.
Now I have no idea if I would enjoy the taste of whale meat or not, but I do want to go to one of those Jonas Fish Fry events to find out. My legal knowledge is kinda hazy at best but I think that they do have a controlled limit on hunting whales which is why the churches only have this event a couple times a year.
I did have a friend of mine try to tell me that it is just fish at those and that it wasn't Jonas that was swallowed by a whale anyway. My reply, "Jonas ... Geppetto ... whoever. It doesn't matter cause they are all fairy tales anyway, I just wanna try some whale meat."
Sometimes it just isn't worth the effort to argue with me.

Betcha almighty Zeus is a bit angry over this blasphemy.

Bloodless Is This Season's "White"
I must say that I am quite amused yet again by all this darkly romantic sighing and fantasizing over vampires. Y'all do realize that you are their source of food, right!?! Reminds me of a famous book ...
***Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy*** {flashback}
Remember the restaurant at the end of the universe and the creature they brought out to their table that had been force feeding itself for months and was giving recommendations of what parts of it they would enjoy eating. That is every single one of you that find vampires romantic.
Let me put it another way:
It's like having a swimming pool in your backyard that you have filled full of leaches and are inviting people over for a pool party. No lonely teen girl, regardless of how gothic she thinks she is, is gonna do any romantic swooning over your pool o' wriggly leeches. She is gonna go running and screaming straight to the nearest police station. Then end up spending at least several days in a psych ward getting calmed down.
That is what happens when you rationalize fantasy into the real world. Turns out to be not quite as pleasant. Hopefully y'all are thinking now and have caught the point. ;)

This one I had actually scribbled down on paper first about a week ago right before going off to the plasma center to earn some money, hmmmmm.

My Secret Lair Unveiled
Holy trogamites Batgirl, it's top secret photographic showslide evidence of our favorite shinigami's secret lair. Yep, that is the current lair. Granted it is not very huge but it is about the perfect size for me. For those obsessed with dimensions, it is roughly 13'x13' (I only had a 12' tape measure lol). Since I am a bit of a packrat, I was forced to learn a very tough lesson about efficient decorational organization. The hardest part was taking my 2 large shelves of dvd's and throwing out all the cases so that I could put the discs into two cases that each hold 354 discs (one is full & the other about half full). So that among several other similar details taught this old half-demoness some new tricks that in retrospect I am very glad to have learned and am a better person overall for it with no rant in sight on that particular topic for a change.

Don't be mocking my cot, it is hella comfy and I sleep just as well upon it as I did my queen sized bed. If you can find a full retail priced object of $40 that isn't named "motel room" or "borderline legal chemical" that will provide a great night's rest, then I will smile & spit at ya.

Funny Flash Friday
Sure, I could write a real post but it's time for the weekend to start, I got a job finally and begin working next Tuesday (stay tuned for more details next week, same Bat time, same Bat channel) and this is an awesome cartoon that y'all probably don't know about anyways.
(Afterthoughts)
As the series progresses I have discovered that it has an almost Hitchhiker's Guide feel to it with how later on the casual early occurrences end up showing an incredibly deeper connection to the overall plot weaving a surprisingly rich tapestry of a story and I just originally started watching it because it is funny on a purely outer husk level without realizing the tasty caramel core that was waiting buried deep inside it's pulsating heart.

It's A Photo Finish
Well, not for a lack of trying to stir up a bit of creativity in y'all, the contest results are in...
*drum roll*
StOP!!!
OK, so the winner was clear cut from the start due to a ringer jumping in (who I already love bunches anyway) so although it was a bit unusual, we were looking for a second place victor in this contest (got to love how things naturally twist into a corkscrew for me without even trying).
So our second place or runner-up is none other than...
*trumpet music*
Caroline, who disappointingly for me was the only other contestant.
So she gets my love and admiration, which ironically she already pretty much had anyway. But anyways, as promised I did manage to snag her on facebook chat and got it transferred over to the much better working yahoo chat. Honestly I expected a good quality conversation with her, and I was not disappointed at all. We ended up talking for over 2 hours and could have gone longer if I didn't have someone waiting on me for one of my infrequent girl's movie night with my galpal M. According to the official yahoo records 6:28:05pm - 8:48:37pm and it was time very well spent. Hopefully we will get to chat again real soon. Caroline, you didn't win my love and respect, you totally earned it all by yourself by being yourself.
(Afterthoughts)
I have chatted with a fair number of y'all and have always enjoyed it so don't be afraid to hit me up on yahoo messenger, & I may even turn on the "Cam o' Dread" so ya can see me live and in real time blah blah blah.

Step Right On Up Here Contestants
Ok, here is the deal, I am gonna have a lil ole contest here to find out who I like the best and will become my super special favorite fan. I think by now y'all are painfully aware that there is very little love in my shriveled up husk of a heart. Therefore I am presenting a totally fair chance for one lucky girl or boy (or girl-boy or boy-girl as I have become aware some of you currently qualify) to become the recipient of all my love (objects in mirror may be closer than they appear).
Now on to the rules of engagement for you little rapscallions:
Simple as losing a finger on a bandsaw with a broken guard, all you have to do is write me the most compelling advertisement for DISH Network that your twisted minds can devise. Make it a single paragraph of all text (or at least text characters). Whoever creates the ad that makes me want to buy DISH (not that I will since I stopped watching TV over a year ago) wins my platonic love and affection, such as it is.
To get y'all started, here is the ad I wrote myself for an excellent specimen of an example:

To get y'all started, here is the ad I wrote myself for an excellent specimen of an example:
You need DISH Network, and not just because I earn commission (which honestly is still nice for me) but because it simply is the best deal for TV that you can get. Everyone is looking for a way to lower their monthly bills without losing those services we have come to rely on. Face it, TV is the best babysitter ever invented and truly has become a member of the family that we can not live without. So with times being hard for a lot of us, if you are paying more than $20 each month for your television programming you are throwing that money away. I would switch over to DISH and keep that cash in my pocket instead of someone else's pocket (although I am sure they will not complain if you want to keep handing your spare money over to them). The FREE installation/equipment for 6 rooms & FREE DVR Upgrade definitely makes the transition to DISH as smooth as butter (tasty tasty butter). Plus they lock-in the price of your monthly bill for an entire year. That means all you will be paying is $19.99/mth for 120 A.D.C. or $32.99/mth for 200 A.D.C. And that A.D.C. thing is All-Digital Channels, not the snowy analog picture you get from a cable box. What good is paying for snow when you can't even build a snowman (even if the idea of “warm” snow is a tempting sell). Why wait? Call 1-800-998-DISH right now & mention promo code: A12 or go to our website at http://www.vmcsatellite.com/red_design/home.cfm?aid=318043 because you will be so much happier with great service, more channels, AND saving money. ^_^

Hey, just because it is a bit of a sham to try to get a better ad than I am capable of writing for my work-at-home job doesn't mean that I won't do something for the winner. At the very least I'll set aside a block of time for cam chat (although if you have yahoo messenger you get that anyway if you catch me not being invisible).
