My Brother’s Sick Sense of Humour

Tags: Family, Email, Entertainment

My parents are off in Florida. My mom sent an email checking in with us (my brothers and I) last week. No one responded, so she sent another one yesterday. “Did anyone get my email?” Here is David’s response:

We got the first email.

Things at home are good. We spent all day yesterday cleaning up from the 4-day party we dubbed “The House Massacre”. The cats are having a blast spending the nights outside. We were a bit worried about the food supply out there, but judging from the squirrel carcasses and the fish heads lying around, it looks as if they’ve been doing fine. Though, I haven’t seen Lego in a couple days, and Sumi seems to be MUCH larger since. I’ve dropped out of school, which seems to have helped with the problem of getting up on time for class. We’ve also traded in one of the cars for a pizza, as we were a bit hungry yesterday and the squirrels can only fill so many meals during the day. They wouldn’t accept the other car at the pizzeria however, as none of the deliverymen can drive standard. We’ll have to find another way to assist in the fight against toxic emmisions. Don’t worry about our eating habits though. We’ve had plenty of greens, as you’ve taught us. The leafy thing in your bedroom supplemented for greens nicely, though it did have a bitter aftertaste. We’ll experiment more in the coming days and keep you posted. Though, you really should’ve told us how to differentiate between real and fake plants, aside from taste.

In parting, a few important questions:

1. Where can i find the deed for the house?

2. Is amputation covered through our health insurance?

3. Do you know of any capital murder defence attorneys?

I think that’s it. We’ll let you know if anything else comes up.

Dave

P.S.- I MADE BAIL!

My Kind of Humour

Tags: Pets, Entertainment, Computers, Internet

So you’ve all seen them. The mac ads that belittle PCs. I’m not a mac fan myself but I do enjoy the commercials. Besides, they give me something to debate with my coworker Cara.

But now, brought to you by the good people at truenuff.com, I present to you three new commercials. Take particular note of the third character in the gaming sketch - I think I must have a crush on him.

In other news, Marla and I started and finished arranging a song for my Grandmother’s 90th birthday on Sunday. Remind me to post it some time.

Also, Loki has recently been responding to the name “Lavender Raspberry”. Who are we to choose what his name is? Lavender Raspberry it is.

My Drought

I’m a horrible Scrubs fan. Sure, each entry in my blog is a small tribute to the wonderful show, but even my posting has become horribly infrequent. I preordered and received the third season on DVD weeks ago, but haven’t even watched it. My cue-card episode guides (yes, you heard me) have stalled somewhere within the second season. To be fair, I now work full time and am lucky enough to even get some time with Michael. I’m not even caught up with the fifth season’s episodes yet. Tsk tsk. I will have to improve - I think I’ll make a date with my DVD player tonight.

More nostalgia after my SixDegrees mention. I recently have revisited the Webmaster Forum again. This is my third arrival to the community. Interesting to see what’s happened since.

In other web news, I am having an argument with Apple’s Safari browser. An image map I have created for Western’s redesigned Alumni site looks decent in Opera, Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla, Camino, and even IE for mac, but is torn apart in Safari. I have run my .css through many validators with no problems in that area and posted on both the Apple and webmaster forums. Anyone…?
