Hey, don't scale your webserver plant. I know, I know - it's too much trouble, and the kids don't really want to use the gifts they receive for Christmas, anyway, even after nearly a week.

I don't know how you sustain this hectic pace. You guys deserve a vacation.

• Billy Ray Cyrus is heavily represented in the used CD bin. Perhaps you might expect this, but who knew he ever sold so many in the first place?
• My personal expectations regarding bookstore decorum, particularly use of 'the library voice', are not shared uniformly by the populace, especially those whose children bray and have to be repeatedly told to "ask Ganna" about the quantity of books to be purchased. At least the kid wants books instead of Cheetos. Silver linings and all...
• The covers of most action and drama DVD cases are black. The comedies are all white. This holds true at least for the crummy ones that people sell back to used bookstores.
• Books on the topic of Systems Architecture, even ones published as late as 2003, may still have a chapter entitled "Do I need a mainframe?" Send the $14 to my paypal account and I will provide you with the answer.
• Like the teeth of hens, a 75-cent Donald Duck comic is still impossible to find.
• A "quick" trip to Costco is anything but and is a hellish followup to the relaxing bookstore (Ganna and braying child notwithstanding). Just say no.

How to be a jerk about Web 2.0

Say "meta" a lot. Do it in an apologetic way, like a hipster admitting that she still listens to Modest Mouse even though they're on the radio now. Take photos of other people taking photos (and yourself in the mirror), blog about blogs, and practice recursive activity until you suck the reality out of your life and are numb to the world around you. Afterward, say "Ohmygod, that was so meta!"

Ok, this, is the funniest thing I've read this week:

Once Jim Kavalaris managed to chisel out the first serving of an unusually hard-to-cut birthday cake, he called out to his mother:

"THIS IS NOT A REAL CAKE."

...

Beneath the edible icing, the cake, bought at Sam's Club at Eastwood Towne Center, was pure Styrofoam.

No malice, just a mistake, but pretty funny.

I read with some interest the nog experience over at Anonymouse CoWorker. However, my weak Western constitution was assaulted by this:

As it impacted with the sink basin whatever semi-solid/mostly viscous properties it had once retained were immediately broken, and the globnog exploded like a water-ballon filled with cream-colored paint, splattering the bottom and sides of the sink, coating everything with a thin layer of noggy slime. What was most distressing was that the nog on the sides of the sink did not run towards the drain. It was as if the nog had no need to comply with the effects of gravity, so it hung there, suspended by unadulterated vileness and spite.

This whole time I had been standing at the counter still holding the carton, witnessing these events unfold, frozen in place lest I actually come in contact with this filthy mutant that I had a few seconds ago consumed. The last remnants of what even slightly resembled nog slid slowly out of the spout and splattered onto the counter a few inches below. I knew then that drastic measures needed to be taken, or I would never have a drop of tasty nog again.

Distressing indeed. Read the whole thing, laughter will soothe the sting.

You'd think that at Bob Evans Restaurant, the quintessential highway-food grease-trap, they would know where Arkansas really is, but apparently not. This little jewel was part of the kid's pack ("please use these waxy, not-so-great crayons and botched map to keep your little monsters occupied so the lead waitress with the bad dye-job doesn't throttle them or "accidently" drop coffee in your lap. Thank you.") and escaped the notice of my little travelers. They were eating nine pounds of pancakes at the time, ahem.

I bet they'd blame it on China or somesuch.
