You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If it's in Swedish, how do you know that it's spam? Maybe you really have won the international lottery.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Or maybe it's a moose trying to apologize for biting your sister as part of a 12-step Biter Anonymous program.

From what I can make out they are wanting me to put my resume on their job search site.

Maybe, all moose speak Swedish after all.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ah, so Swedish spam != Swedish fish. Good to know.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That explains all the moose vs. car accidents in Canada and the northern states--the horn doesn't beep in Swedish.

You know that job I mentioned upthread? Turns out that they want me to start this Sunday! Easiest job "interview" ever:

"Hi, is this Richard? This is Kathy--I work with your wife, and she suggested I call you about the office job for Sundays?"
"Hi! Here's the address and directions, the first appointment is at 11, so if you could show up a few minutes early for paperwork, that's be great."
"Um, don't you want to meet me first?"
"No, that's fine--we'll see you on Sunday!"

I don't even know what they're going to pay me, but it's only for three hours on Sunday afternoons and it's not too far a drive. Even if it'll only net me $100 a month, that's fine!

I've never not gotten a pair of shoes from Zappos the next day.

I like the Hebrew spam I get. It's very decorative. Even if non-kosher.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, I might be talking out of my ass, but every time I've ordered from Zappos, they've "upgraded" me to overnight shipping for free, and with no prompting on my part.

Yeah, I figure Zappos is hedging their bets if they start falling behind at the warehouse, but they haven't yet!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I used to wonder why I got Greek and Turkish spam, but then I realized they must be going on the 'Theodosia' name, since it's still common enough over there.
