Its not yet up to par as we are still working with some design issues. I have put up some test material.
Why foolhardy you ask? Good question. Expand your vocabulary by googling the term. I suggest that after you read my brillance on the front page you take a look at the About Me section. Even though most you know me, that page kind of sets policy for the entire site.
Awesome, Ster. I would love to share this with all your old English teachers. I think if I were an English teacher and found out one of my former students had created this awesome website where the actually did what we taught them, that would just make my day. Would you be okay with that?
Well, as previously advertised, soon you will no longer be able to read my content here. Very soon, I hope to have a new website dedicated to what I do best... namely, give you my ideas about current events and other mild forms hilarity. I am now on the fringe of the humor business. I know I am on the fringe because many of you think I am mildly funny but my wife just stares at me and thinks I am an idiot while telling her what I am writing. She's very supportive; she just gets way way too much of me.
I think I had a pretty good run on Pleonast. Its felt somewhat like being Mr. Rogers. Everyday I would come in, take my sweater off, put a new sweater on, change my shoes, and say, "Hello Friends...". And then Spimman would come out like that cat from the land of Make Believe and have a few words to say. And Billiam would be the king and the queen I am undecided on as of yet. But I digress...
I hope to release the url of my new site soon to those of you I haven't already blabbered it to like a giddy school girl.
I really think this whole "internet fad" is going to catch on and it helps save the environment. Just think, instead of being outside running or excercising (where I would be releasing more carbon dioxide) I am inside with a slack jaw, vacant expression typing humorous dribble to be lapped up by mildly amused friends!
We win and the earth wins and Al Gore wins! A convienent truth!
www.she-just-gets-way-way-too-much-of-me.org/stillsupportive is available...not as catchy as something like oatbag (my guess). BTW, it's KING FRIDAY VIII to you buckaroo. Good luck with that slack jaw.
So, Richard thinks I can make an extra G a month simply by writing stuff online. He threw around some fancy words like "Google AdSense" and "Affliate Marketing" but I think it surely must all be black magic. But since I have the time and all my other attempts at black magic (ash circles, dances in the pale moonlight, & what not)have utterly failed, I guess I'll give this a try. At the end of the day, I hope to either be earning another $10k to $12k annually. Actually, I would settle for a box of doughnuts and a free ticket to a Jim Gaffigan Stand-Up at this point.
I am celebrating a new record this year and it just so happens to coincide with Easter. This year I received my Girl Scout Cookies promptly in early to mid February. I ordered two boxes of Thin Mints and two boxes of Tagalongs as is my custom. However, after exhibiting tremendous willpower, I broke the fast and ate the last two Tagalongs and the last three thin mints yesterday. I believe this is a new record in the amount of time I can stretch only four boxes of girl scout cookies. One of my bosses at work once told me that the best thing in the world is a frozen Thin Mint on a hot summer day. He attributes the fact that he can accomplish this to greater self control. I attribute it to the fact he makes about triple my annual salary and therefore has at least 12 boxes.
Additionally, I will be heading out of town this weekend to attend the wedding of a Catholic bride to a Marine groom. I happen to be Protestant as most all of you know but I am a big fan of the Armed Forces. I also am really intrigued by all the cool moves they have at Mass, but I won't go there (a-la-Dane Cook for anyone that has seen that). The problem really is the fact that I don't know either the bride or groom except for a chance meeting at a Moto's Japanese eatery. The bride happens to be a friend from high school of my wife's and she attended our wedding. According to marital law, if a friend of from high school attends your wedding then it is incumbent upon you to attend their wedding no matter how awkward the situation could get.
Let's all face it, I could be the King of Awkward at this event as I neither drink nor dance and will probably just eat as much wedding cake and those dessert mints as I can hold. I don't dance because I don't drink and that would be the only possible way to get me out on the dance floor. For those of you who have seen me dance, you are painfully aware of the horrifying specter of it all. I am just as likely to bust a rib as I am to bust a move.
I still have two unopened boxes of whatever they call the good peanut butter ones (not the ones with chocolate)...I mainly attribute this to the fact that we got them late and I had my wisdom teeth out and still don't like crunchy stuff
#3 I went to a Catholic wedding about two years ago. I don't see how people have any dancing energy left after the whole up-down-up-down-hokey-pokey-3-hour wedding ceremony. Oh wait...the alcohol...
You're cracking me up Sterling - but I'm not laughing as hard nor as long as I was last night, at the secret club meeting. Now that was nice. Justin and I actually have about 85% of our 2nd and final box of Samoas left, and that most certainly is a record for us. We are quite proud! Good luck with Richard's latest scheme - you do have a talent for writing!
Well this is my first time at pleonast. Since you are going to be making the big buck I thought I should at least check out what you are saying. I might need to defend myself sometime. You always were the creative writer. I have an interesting piece you did one time on a cat. Good luck!!!
This was too great not to "blog" about. Before, I even get to what I was going to mention, I have to say that the fact that multiple elders from our pulpit have even uttered the word "blog" lately makes me cringe just a little bit. In fact, just not that long ago, I really thought I was going to hear the word "Pleonast" from the pulpit. Can you even imagine the hysteria? Its hilarious to me. Anyways, back to maps...
In case you don't know, in the Miss Teen USA pageant, Miss South Carolina was asked why a number of Americans could not find America on a world map. Her response is as follows:
"I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so... because... uh... some people out there in our nation don't have maps and... uh... I believe that our education such as South Africa and the Iraq... everwhere such as... and I believe that they should... our education over here in the US... should help the US... err... should help South Africa... should help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to help build up our future."
No, there are no typos in that section or misprints. Clearly, US Americans need some maps and a grammar book quickly... such as... therefore. Its a good thing that Mario "Slater" Lopez was there to pull her off stage because in all likelihood she would still be going on about the US Americans and the Iraq and such as everwhere such as its for the children of tomorrow.
This is the best thing since sliced bread... such as... Youtube it!
oh, I read about it in USA Today and watched it a few days ago (again and again). I have never laughed SO hard! How in the world did her reply have to do with that questions. She was on the Today show a few days later and asked to "reanswer" her question and she said, "Well, as for me and my friend, we have maps and can locate our country on a map, i don't know why other people can't." it was wonderful.
I personally believe and so does everyone else, and such as, that this girl is stupid. and her "new answer" on the today show was just as stupid. come on, she had all weekend to come up with a decent answer.
i have only just stopped crying/laughing at it after like the 30th time of watching it. this is my favorite thing that has happened. ever. in the whole world.
reagan and i watched this dumbfounded... we laughed the whole time!! it's amazing that we have that level of geniuses in the Americas, south africa and the Iraq. she must be one of those people that are so smart, with such a high IQ that simple tasks like (or should i say "such as") tying your shoes and answering pageant questions is nearly impossible, and such as.
Good to see you the other day. I hope you check this every once in a while. My uncle's email address is: jim.grushon@thomas-grushon.com. Their website is www.thomas-grushon.com. there is contact info on the site as well.
knowing us, it'll stay there for about 30 minutes until we find the best next-investment. I'll work on the gift card though. If I come across some free gas I'll send it your way.
I just checked the date on my last entry and it read Oct 05. Then I realized that this is about the same amount of time its been since I had a Hot Pocket. Given the choice between making an entry and eating a Hot Pocket, I choose the former.
I am proud to announce that I have made several HUGE discoveries since October of 2005 and I felt compelled to share some of these with you. For all of the engineers who I am friends with who apparently enjoy typing in bullet point (Bill):
--HGTV (Home and Garden) is really much more interesting than I had originally assessed in high school.
--Going to bed at/before/around 10:30 to 11:00 is really quite reasonable and generally leads to healthier standard of living
--Painting makes me irritable
--One of my core initiatives in life should be to kill anything that creeps or crawls in the general vicinity of my wife
--Just because you have a lot of life insurance on yourself, that doesn't mean your wife wants to talk about it. (i.e. "What would you do with all that money?")
--Eyes falling out of their sockets, dry mouth, naseau, stiffness, the inability to write your own name, and cold sweats are common symptoms from closing on your 30 yr fixed mortgage.
I thought I would post to see who notices I actually posted after years (literally) of not posting
And I had the last one when I realized two weeks ago that our mortgage is an ARM loan, and not a 30 yr fixed. Refinancing will commence soon. And who would have thought I would ever be talking about refinancing at age 23.
I noticed your name highlighted and assumed that I must have clicked on it wrong or something. I'm glad you've been there for Meg with the creepy crawlies. She needs that stability in her life.
sterling!!!! glad you posted!!!! makes me laugh. . . i LOVE HGTV, gets you all pumped for DIY projects, and when i was teaching i was in bed at like 9:30. . . ed use to make fun of me. . . painting is one of those things that i always think that i like to do until like halfway through one wall. . .then i'm done with it. :) i hope you guys are doing great!!!! now let's try to be a bit more frequent that 2 years ok?
I shall now respond in "..." format: I agree about HGTV, but with less excitement...agreed about the early bedtime, and 6:00am is getting better and better...painting makes me hungry...welcome to the Bug KillSquad...if you consider the scenario of me dying in the plant, i'm definitely worth more dead than alive (scary)...those symptoms are permanent replacements of small-smelly-apartment anxiety.
