Centralia, Pennsylvania: the inspiration for Silent Hill. Anyone up for taking a vacation there?
Installing solar panels is kicking my ass.
plainclothesman:
Today I worked my second day as an installer from 7-6. I helped find and fix leaks on an array of about 40 thermal panels before finally recharging the system. It’s a tough learning process trying to find out what fluid is in which line or panel and where it’s coming or going and what I need to do in order to route them to the right places.
One thing’s for sure: I’m glad to be back in the office tomorrow drafting: something I’m actually quite good at doing.
Why do you have to install them? Can’t they just use cranes to lift them and place them on top of the house?
Coming soon to a store near you - the incredible story of a former beauty pageant winner’s tranformation from obscure Alaskan Governor to one of the world’s most powerful mutants.
Initially blessed with the power to see Russia from her house, Sarah Palin’s abilities manifested to heights unimaginable for even the most creative comic book writers and artists. Among them:
- Charging John McCain’s Presidential campaign with a jolt stronger than a bolt of lightning (or 1.21 gigawatts of electricity);
- Morphing into her alter ego, Tina Fey;
- Controlling the minds of hockey moms everywhere;
- Running away from ethics charges at faster-than-light-speed by quitting as Governor with 1 year left on her term.
Sometimes funny, rarely serious, but never inspirational, Becoming Rogue is filled with pulsating, page-by-page action that will excite anyone tired of real biographies and instead hunger for a larger-than-life profile of a larger-than-life figure.

Our “team picture” from the diamond ring scavenger hunt last weekend.
Where is the diamond ring? I can barely see it in that photo. Is this the 500-carat diamond they found recently in a mine?
I attended the Tour Championship golf tournament in Atlanta last Friday. All the players were playing for this trophy, the FedEx Cup, which is awarded Golf’s “playoff” winner.
As you can see I won. Eat your heart out Tiger Woods!
…Okay, so Tiger actually won and this is only a replica of the trophy. But it still looks great.
Why I Hate Zooey

anjalouise:
“Yes, I know, I post about Zooey Deschanel a lot. She’s just so cute; I can imagine sitting around with her over a cup of tea and a cupcake, talking about boys, books and clothes.”
This is from some blog. It drives me crazy that people are always imagining Zooey in their little fantasy picture of what she is like and what she does and somehow, she’s always their bestie too. I’ll say it again: ZOOEY DESCHANEL IS NOTHING LIKE YOU. She is a fantasy.
this describes the way I feel about guys who talk like this about Megan fox.
OMG! Zooey Deschanel is such a cutie; I would love to discuss furry animals with her over a ravishing margarita. And Megan Fox is so hot! She’s like the hottest woman ever to grace the history of this universe. EVER! When God created the perfect woman, Megan Fox was the template. OMG!!!!!! Exclamation Marks!!!!!!
What is Wrong With People????
At the McDonald’s Drive-thru to buy the new Angus Third Pounder:
Me: I would like a Deluxe Angus Third Pounder.
McDonald’s Employee: We have three kinds of Angus Third Pounders.
Me: I know. I want the Deluxe.
Employee: We have three kinds. Which one do you want?
Me: Isn’t Deluxe one of them?
Employee: We have three kinds.
Me: I know that. I want the Deluxe kind. Isn’t that one of them?
Employee: We have three kinds. Deluxe, Mushroom and Swiss, and Bacon and Cheddar.
Me: … I want the first choice.
So I get home and find out they gave me the bacon and cheddar. Sigh. What is wrong with people????????

During Farrah Fawcett’s funeral, her longtime lover Ryan O’Neal hits on his own daughter. Well, apparently O’Neal is estranged from all his kids so he didn’t recognize Tatum O’Neal when she gave him a hug to console him. And he proceeded to ask her out. Gross.
But it begs the question: why was he hitting on anyboy at the funeral of the “love of his life”.
Beerfest at the White House
Just in case anyone cared, here’s what President Obama, Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Police Sergeant James Crowley, and Vice President Joe Biden drank during their “teachable moment.”
Obama: Bud Light - simple, but effective.
Gates: Red Stripe - I have never drank this. No opinion.
Crowley: Blue Moon - He garnished the beer with an orange slice, which apparently, is the tastiest way to drink it. Oops.
Biden: Did not drink a beer. Claimed he has never drunk an alcoholic beverage in his life. So we can throw out one plausible explanation for his stupid soundbites.
