Much to our bafflement and delight, we have received a few compliments on the site lately, and that just makes our day every time. Not much beats a good compliment. In terms of our typical daily experiences, it's like a straight flush. It's pretty rare, so when you get one, you're all, "Wtf did I do to deserve this and how can I do it again?" Yesterday, we got this comment from a New Discreet Reader (NDR) named Foob D:
Stumbled into this page looking for -- uhhhh, ummmm -- I dunno know what the hell I was looking for. That was 30 minutes ago and I've been plowing through the lyric stumpah, photo of day, etc. Tremendous "slice of life" stuff here. Tremendous. I've spent the last couple minutes laughing out loud and figured I'd call it to your attention. Thanks for the entertainment.
Hey Foob -- THANK YOU and please stay awhile. Even if your comment was left in the HaloScan box accompanying Crsmal's oddly controversial driving rules post from a couple years back, and not in a HaloScan box accompanying something that I myself created. Whatever, I still accept part of the compliment and it only underscores how important it is that we keep getting content from other sources besides my tired and lame ass.
Ma Bungle and I took Monday off to celebrate her birfday. We ate lunch at Lupa and we were sort of drunk afterwards as we strolled through SoHo. Ma bought herself two pairs of birfday shoes, which she probably wouldn't have done without having the wine in her. Good for her. She doesn't get enough stuff for herself.
Still no sign of my Apple computer, three weeks to the day after I ordered (still listed as shipping 3/30). Meanwhile, the Apple site now says that model is shipping in 7-10 days. So I might be better served canceling my order and ordering again. What a goofy system. I am beginning to think Dan K. is on the money with his prediction for my Maxperience.
As for weekendbeerdat, I am flattered that you guys think I am still capable of drinking multiple beers over the course of a weekend. 6? 7? 8? 13?!?!? Oh were that true. I think the last time I drank 13 beers in a weekend was during my last Bad Night, in October of 2004. That night was Bad, man, and I doubt I will ever have another one like it again.* Most of my nights are just plain regular these days.
The correct answer was 1 beer. Nobody got it, no points. Close goes to Diapk who guessed zero and will receive no points because he underestimated me, and to PBdotC who guessed "1 mol of beers" which I assume was a little physics humor based on our inclusion of Avogadro's Number in yesterday's post. So no points. Argue if you like.
1 beer isn't very many. 1 beer is probably not even enough to get the inexplicably-still-around Kevin Covais from American Idol buzzed.
Since we don't have much to say today, at least not that can be said quickly, we'll say that verbungle.com would like to issue a Verbungle.com Lifetime Achievement Award in the acting field to Woody Harrelson. We have enjoyed Woody's work in just about everything he's been in. And we like him in real life, too. If Kingpin is on and we stumble upon it, we are watching all the
way through every time. Congrats Woody, you should be receiving your plaque around the same time as Joe M. gets his prize from Geniusmaker Round I.
You may or may not know this, but MDilly was mighty fast in his day. To prove this, he liked to play a game in which he would go out for a pass while another person (who also considered himself "fast") attempted to cover him. They would be running stride for stride, and the defensive man would start feeling some small surge in confidence, at which point MDilly would point at his opponent and utter a single word before turning on the afterburners and immediately creating about fifteen yards of separation between the two. It was uncanny to watch. For ten points, MDilly excluded from answering**, what was the word MDilly would yell as he streaked past his opponent?
*Speaking of bad nights, we ga-rone-tee a new edition of "Trayline" by week's end. Thanks for the interest, Finn.
** He will receive 5 GP's in exchange for his abstaining from this challenge.
