At work, I’m on an email thread discussing what people are planning on eating at an upcoming office function. There’s been talk of grilling some steaks, but some people feel that’s kind of expensive. One of the other people on the list is a vegetarian and she jokingly replied saying “tofu is cheaper!” To which somebody else replied “But I don’t eat bean flesh!”. Then our vegetarian replied saying:

There are two kinds of things in the world. Things that fart. And things that make things fart.

I don’t eat things that fart.

She later claimed she was quoting somebody else who wishes to remain anonymous but I think she’s just trying to shift the blame. :p

4th of July Fireworks

I finally got around to updating the Gallery‘s CSS to better match the styling of the rest of the site; plus I added some of the more interesting photos that I took during our local 4th of July celebrations. I’ve also tweaked the About page by adding back in a sketch of the site’s mascot. I’ve got a better sketch in my pad, but I need to get that scanned so I can post it. The problem is the wife’s computer was the only one with an ISA slot for the adapter card for the ancient scanner I have and her machine recently died. Of course, even if her machine was fully running; there’d be the bigger problem of trying to get it to run under SuSE. I don’t think SuSe has ever been able to detect the card, much less the scanner itself, though the XSane project does show the scanner as one that is supported.

You’d laugh at a good dirty joke, but you definitely prefer something clever to something moist.You probably like well-thought-out pranks and/or spoofs and it’s highly likely you’ve tried one of these things yourself. In a lot of ways, yours is the most entertaining type of humor.PEOPLE LIKE YOU: Conan O’Brian – Ashton Kutcher
