Catcher in the.. what?

So, I just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.

Um, what? It was a nice story about a couple of days in the life of a kid in the big city who discovers some things about himself, but I’m still wondering where the last chapter or so is.

Sigh. On to the next book - $1 Million for Life, by Ashley Ormond.

Religion 101: The Final Exam

As much as I’m not one to post religious things on my blog, I had to post this awesome final exam for your religion… here’s a taste:

  • In the Judeo-Christian tradition, we always look to the Bible as a guide. In this example, your teenage son has returned home from the prom intoxicated. The Bible’s instruction is:
    1. Sit him down for a heart to heart talk
    2. Enroll him in AA
    3. Take away his driving privilege for one month
    4. Smash his head in with rocks
  • In this example, your son-in-law, returned from his honeymoon, has just told you he suspects your daughter was not a virgin on their wedding night. Wishing to abide by God’s holy rules as laid out in the Bible, you should:
    1. Ask him if he was a virgin before you do anything
    2. Advise him to forgive her
    3. Talk to your daughter
    4. Go find those rocks

When variable substitution goes wrong…

Boy I love spam some days, it’s just … weird 🙂 We had this one forwarded to us to block, I wonder if it’ll break something in our wonderfully crap filtering system.

Thomas Cook Boots

Thomas Cook Boots

New boots for my trip to the snow 🙂 Got them for $69.95 - I can’t remember the last time I got shoes so cheap, I love having size fifteen feet 🙁

Found them at DFO up the back hidden in a pile of “seconds” in the corner - nothing wrong with them, just they were old stock!

You are an INTP

The Thinker

  • You are analytical and logical - and on a quest to learn everything you can.
  • Smart and complex, you always love a new intellectual challenge.
  • Your biggest pet peeve is people who slow you down with trivial chit chat.
  • A quiet maverick, you tend to ignore rules and authority whenever you feel like it.
  • In love, you are an easy person to fall for. But you’re not an easy person to stay in love with.
  • Although you are quite flexible, you often come off as aloof or argumentative.
  • At work, you are both a logical and creative thinker. You are great at solving problems.
  • You would make an excellent mathematician, programmer, or professor.
  • How you see yourself: Creative, fair, and tough-minded.
  • When other people don’t get you, they see you as: arrogant, cold, and robotic.

Yup, that’s me.

I’m a JEDI

As I was leaving the carpark tonight on my bike I was going down the ramp as the carpark chicky was going up to leave… you could see the “oh fuck, cmon” on her face which is fair enough. She said something about not having change, and knew there was no way I was going to pay five times the bike rate, so … I said “you didn’t see me.”

I’m GIR!

Your result for what Invader Zim character are you?… You are Gir (88% Gir)

You enjoy the simple things in life, may tend to be random at times and over hyper, but that is why many adore you (or why many don’t want to be around you).

Miscommunication…

It’s perfectly normal to hear “man bikini cafe” when someone says “lamborghini cafe” right? Oh bother.
