  3. Hi Bev, I'm glad you're having a good day! I've made a post along the same lines:

  4. abfh,
    Your post is hilarious. Wish I'd thought of that myself!

    mcewen,
    Please feel free to laugh at this. It was funny to me also, and I am never sure if anyone in the known universe shares my sense of humor.

    Of course there is always a serious side to my joking, too...

  6. A crossword sounds like a lot of work. Would you settle for a word search?

  7. This is great stuff. I just laughed and laughed. Which is good because I have had a facial tick from work stress and it goes away for a bit when I am in a lighter mood.

    Thanks!

  8. Bev, I was just inspired by a shoddy post on Yahoo! news about how fat kids are more prone to being tormented by their peers, teachers, etc., "giving them a quality of life comparable to people with cancer." This wording is evidently derived, poorly, by the reporter, who based it loosely on a comment made by one of the researchers; but it seems to suggest that "quality of life" is something measurable by scientific study. You've gotta do this, baby -- the Quality-of-Life-O-Meter!! Can you just see it? "Kids with cancer" over here, "retards" down here, people with Silly Walks over there, "even kids with chicken pox!" here . . . or something. Just imagine! It's up to you to make it happen! (That is, of course, if it hasn't been done.) Gimme gimme gimme! (I mean, uh, I humbly request. :P)

  9. Seems like that's something Mouth magazine might have done before . . . hmm . . . anyway, I haven't actually *seen* it, so Gimme!!

  10. Dear Evonne,
    I will do my best to meet your demand (request?) but it may take a few days before you see it. I fear you will find the result rather disappointing, though. I don't seem to do very well with translating the inspirations of others. I do like the idea, however, so I'll give it a try.

  11. Wow, thanks! You rock! You are, of course, by no means under any real obligation. I should know better than to assign *myself* projects, let alone other folks. :P
