First, go buy my crap.
Second, with sixteen data points (Dots boxes) I have the new averages for the flavor distibution. Not surprisingly, Cherry still leads.
Cherry: 5.81
Lemon: 3.38
Lime: 2.94
Orange: 2.81
Strawberry: 3.00
My alphabetical theory seems to fail since Strawberry is the #3 flavor. After a few more data points, I’ll be ready to send my findings to Tootsie Roll for some answers.
Damn Hypocrites. Family values my ass!
Someone mentioned that they hadn’t been to last page of the internet. You can go there now.
OK, people are telling me to post on Cruft. We’ll here you go, this will keep you busy.

In other news, I had sushi last night. That’s my second time of eating sushi for those of you that are counting. I watched some guy on a date try to be macho and eat a bunch of wasabe. He almost blew his tounge out his nose he was coughing so hard.
I’m selling bunch more of my old junk on ebay. Slower than a garage sale, but it builds up my PayPal account. There are also some domain names going for sale cheap on ebay here and here. People will try to sell anything…
As some of you may know, I have a page with Dr. Pepper Imposters. It is just a few photos of cans I have collected. Today I received this email:
I am writing to say that Dr. Thunder is the best soda ever, even better than Dr. Pepper. My friend Keith Gilliam would like to be the next spokesmodel for the drink, and if you could help us out in any way possible it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The Biggest Dr. Thunder Fan Around
Now did I mention that I worked for Dr. Thunder or that I was a casting agent for them anywhere? Folks, am I missing something?
I replied:
I’m sorry, but I have no connection to Dr. Thunder. I am but a humble webpage maker with a picture of Dr. Thunder. Good luck to Keith on his spokesmodel career. I know he will do great.
Heaven help America.
BTW, the pencil sharpener is up to $2.75, go bid more, there’s less then 30 days until I need $300 for a new Playstation 2!
I wonder if this
My children had two fish. Peanut Butter & Pom Pom. I was never really sure which fish was Peanut Butter and which fish was Pom Pom, one was orange and another was black. The orange one, I’ll call him Pom Pom, hadn’t been looking to good lately. Droopy fins and what not. I had chalked it up to the long trip we took, when I placed the long term food cube in the tank and left the light on for 10 days.
Last night, while the children were taking a bath, Michele took me in to see Pom Pom. Pom Pom had no balance or orientation. He couldn’t stay horizontal and keep bumping into things. He would swim a bit, then float toward the surface, then swim a little more. I’m no expert, but I could tell Pom Pom would soon shuffle of his mortal coil.
Rather than letting my children find a fish floating in the tank come the morning, I had to take action. My wife is not good with these things and left to wash the kids. I got a net and bowl and took Pom Pom from the fish tank. I expected him to quickly die by the time the I got outtside to dig a grave. I dug a shallow grave and looked in on Pom Pom. Mouth still gasping. I watched him for a minute, thinking happy thoughts to ease him out of this life. He didn’t die. I decided not to bury him alive or let him linger on. I killed the little fish to end the ordeal. I thanked him again for being a good pet and making my children happy. I buried Pom Pom so he could return to the earth and feed the trees in our backyard.
Sometime soon, the girls will realize there is only one fish in the tank. I guess I should tell them Pom Pom died, but it would be easier to tell them that he went for a long trip. Being a parent isn’t all diaper changing and mess cleanup.
I am making a big sale on eBay.
Go read all about my fabulous auction item.
Act now, or someone else will grab it!
I spent the day yesterday running powe rin the kitchen to the stove & exhaust fan. This has been coming for about two years. It too two trips to the hardware store, but its done. I rule.
I played Unreal last night in Team Deathmatch. I really enjoyed that mode. Not as predictable as Assualt, and with team damage on precision was key.
For the record, gnutella is kinda messed up. Finding valid servers is fuxxored.
Tonight I try to get UT running under linux. Wish me luck.
On the way to drop off the kids at nursery school, I heard a loud crack as I lowered the driver’s side window. The window canted at a seriously wrong angle and refused to lower further. Due to my training as an engineer, I was able to determine that a) something broke in the window, and b) I have screwed up my car karma in some strange way.
Saturday morning the Saturn heads to the dealership and I find out how much this little problem will cost.
The family was supposed to get a portrait taken today. Michele makes a big deal about getting good family portraits taken regularly. She’s right, of course.
Today I was driving with Zoe inthe Saturn, following Michele to the studio, when the car died. Right in the middle of the 110 freeway near downtown. For those not from LA, the 110 is the main north/south freeway. Very busy. Many people honking at you when you break down in the high speed lane. Zoe, at 4 years old, was quite upset at being stopped on the freeway.
A quick tow to the Saturn dealer confirmed that that the fuel pump died, AGAIN! Yes, a short 14 months ago, the fuel pump died. It’s two months out of warranty. Suxxor for me. $400 for a new fuel pump.
I posted another Ultima tale on the BV War Board. Enjoy.
