I don't know what in the name of God happened to me today, but I have stalled out HARD. (I think it was Choire yelling at me for my heteronormative ignorance about Lady Gaga.) Anyway, while I try to snap myself back into position, enjoy these fine other things, written by people who clearly have no problem putting one word in front of another in a coherent and interesting fashion: Cityfile looks at a terrible anorexic woman whose children deserve your pity, and... well... that's it. Holy mother, I cannot even DO A LINKDUMP TODAY! What in the stuttering Christ is wrong? Look, you go read that thing about that awful woman and I'm gonna take some Zicam and see if that helps any.
Thank God. I thought it was just me.
Even the fucking cat doesn't look photogenic.
Maybe spend some time fixing the emailer thingee. Or just forward me a personal copy? I would feel so special.
Check your spam filter, some people have reported problems with that lately.
I only get a couple pieces of spam a day (Gmail). I think the problem is the Dreamhost server gets black listed in a hit or miss way (everything coming from every DH based email -- either tied to a domain or their canned script) is ID'd the same. So some emails may not even be getting relayed. Or Gmail really hates you guys already.
Definitely the spam thing started yesterday as my fault. GMAIL hates the holy hell out of us. MY BAD.
My slap-upside-the-head hand gets twitchy looking at the photo of that woman in the Cityfile article.
I'm telling you....we need to open a national conversation on the M. Phelps mustache. Damn. It. To. Hell. Balk.
I cutting a big ol' slice of whiskey cake, just for Balk.
He's really losing his mind, you guys. This is a little weird!
:(
His blood-alcohol level must be dangerously low.
He clearly hasn't watched the "Papparazzi" video enough.
Balk, I think it's safe to say we'd rather you struggle with linkdumps than snuggle with dinklumps.
Also, BRING BACK MY "NEXT" BUTTON. I WANT NAVIGATIONAL AIDS (said the hooker to the sailor)!
It's 80 degrees, the sun is aimed at my bald spot and I've been brushing an oil based stain on my deck since 8:00 this morning so I'm feeling a bit peculiar myself.
However, I can pull it together enough to say: Fuck that cupcake bitch, fuck,fuck,fuck I hate her.
Hi Balk. Just thought I'd be servicey, and offer you this info on Zicam. (But maybe you knew this already?)
FDA Approved Uses
The FDA is currently investigating consumer complaints that Zicam is causing anosmia, or the loss of smell and taste.
Side Effects
The most common side effects associated with Zicam include nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal discomfort. Other adverse reactions include a metallic taste, headache and drowsiness.
Warnings and Alerts
Despite the manufacturer's assurances that Zicam adheres to FDA guidelines and restrictions, lawsuits have been filed by Zicam users against both Matrixx Initiatives and Zicam LLC, claiming that taking Zicam has caused anosmia, or a loss of smell and taste. Many Zicam users have also reported experiencing horrific, almost unbearable burning after using the nasal spray.
You know, as side effects go, "horrific, almost unbearable burning" maybe should win some kind of prize.
Holy crap this explains my whole February...
Zicam Alert!!!
