Elvis was peanut butter and bananas, no?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Psst, Jesse is Elvis, pass it on.

Wasn't Elvis into grilled PB and banana? ALSO delicious, btw.

Now I'm wondering why I don't eat more peanut butter, if I like it so much.

you should treat yourself to PB once you do laundry.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I just found the weirdest...well, probably not the *weirdest*...but a weird Internet game.

It's called Six Degress of Wiki Hitler.

You go to Wikipedia's home page, choose a random article and, using only links within the articles, get to Adolf Hitler.

For instance:

"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eriphyle"
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_mythology"
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan"
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race"
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler"

What people will do to amuse themselves...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It sounds like an idea for a YouTube game I had, where everyone started with the same video, and you'd see who could end up farthest afield from the original video by clicking on the Related links.

Yes, exactly.

Actually, I think Elvis was peanut butter, banana AND bacon.

Whoa. Am reading an article about a Buddhist partnership (man and woman) who have vowed not to be further than 15 feet apart. And yet they are celibate: [link]

If they cannot be seated near each other on a plane, they do not get on. When she uses an airport restroom, he stands outside the door. And when they are here at home in their yurt in the Arizona desert, which has neither running water nor electricity, and he is inspired by an idea in the middle of the night, she rises from their bed and follows him to their office 100 yards down the road, so he can work.

Their partnership, they say, is celibate. It is, as they describe it, a high level of Buddhist practice that involves confronting their own imperfections and thereby learning to better serve the world.

I cannot imagine that much togetherness!
