Say it with me now...

A minor quibble about the words 'blog' and 'post'.

It is incorrect to say, "I wrote a blog about that today." Unless, of course, you are insane and create new blogs for each new thought you have.

If that is true, then—you in fact did "write a blog about that."

Instead, use the word 'post'. It refers to each entry in a blog. A blog is a collection—a compendium if you will—of posts.

However, both the word 'post' and 'blog' are also verbs. It is considered epic win to say, "I blogged about 'Drinking Chai Latte's on my Macbook-Silver Colored Fixie' in a post today on my blog."

Saying, "I wrote a blog about that today is akin to saying, "I wrote a newspaper about that today."

For all you history buffs or antique nerds

That's right, a post for Zach and Betsy:

I found this when searching for a cell line. I loves me the randomness of google sometimes.

Not to mention:

I can't decide how racist this one is though

Dirty Mind

This video is pretty funny even if you get your mind out of the gutter:

Yes, I fully intend to use this blog solely to post random videos that I think are hilarious.

I like it when people are amusing in their ridiculous sincerity. Like the kid who said that my returning the Yellow Team's flag was "boss diesel."

Speaking of which, this Rental Car Rally seems fairly boss diesel. Either that, or it's a huge foreign experience for NYCers to drive a car. Lousy public transport hoggers.

It is my very favorite gun

Oh Joss Wheadon knows what I like. And in this case it is musical blogs.

Thought: Do bowlers in the Southwest have to check their bowling balls for scorpions?

(This was spurred by the unattended, free-range bowling balls we found in an alley by my office. Now, there is a bowling ball sitting on top of a filing cabinet. Somehow, I think it's irresponsible to put a heavy object in a place with copious amounts of potential energy.)

Hope

There was a small burst of clever pictures circling the vicinity of my work email this morning, started by this which was rebutted with this.
They both make me tear up, but for very different reasons

Growing Insanity

I just wanted to contribute to this blog in a small way, but couldn't think of anything worth posting. Then I stumbled across this...

As long as I've got my bloggin' shoes on...

I was going to make a post about my latest skit idea/redundant invention, (the solar-powered lamp!) mostly to mock myself for thinking of it. Then I fired up the old Google machine, and what do I find?

Blog failure.

What's that sound?

That low, rumbling noise you heard all day was Chris, vomiting all over his keyboard due to us ruining the sanctity of blogging by choosing such a ridiculous name.
