Ah, now this is my kind of meme:

25 Random Things I Hate About Fucktards On Facebook I Don't Know In The Least But Who, Nonetheless, Are My "Friends"

11. I hate that I hated you in high school/college, but didn't really know you, and have only friended you to see if you look really fucked up now, but you don't. You look normal. You have too many fucking kids who play too many sports, but you otherwise look pretty well adjusted. I hate that.

I'm sort of sad, though, that the mysteriousness of the maple syrup smell has been revealed. It's more interesting as a mystery than as a solvable problem.

ALSO I'm still looking for a perfume that smells like maple syrup. Maybe I should expand that to include fenugreek perfume?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Children's advice for our new president--Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country is a new book. Some letters from kids to Obama:

Dear President Obama, The first thing you need to do is put your stuff in the White House. Be careful, Abraham Lincoln haunts one of the bedrooms. Look around the White House. Meet with your helpers. Get a puppy. Talk to America. Make a speech. Sincerely, Matthew Wong, age 8, Chicago

Dear Mr. Obama, As president, I would move into the White House and get some people to help me with my homework. I would fill the White House with chocolate and gravy (but not together) and mashed potatoes or maybe fill it with root beer. I'd drive through the White House on a boat. We'd make the floor out of mashed potatoes and the house would be filled with mashed potatoes. ... I'd have a couch made out of pudding that you could eat with a giant spoon. And I'd have a pizza carpet. After we'd eaten all of our furniture, we'd buy real furniture. Amir Abdelhadi, age 6 (as dictated to Katie McCaughan), Chicago

Dear President Obama: You are awesome!!! Some things you should do are: 1. Stop the use of oil in cars. 2. Clean up the ocean. 3. Help animals that are endangered. 4. Help immigrants get better jobs. 5. Give money to schools. 6. Fire the governor of California. Love, Hilda Herrera, age 12, San Francisco

Philanthropist...or budding super-villain in disguise?

I know, I'm wondering what all those attendees were thinking before he said, "Just kidding!" A nervous bodyguard could be forgiven for thinking "This man just tried to kill my boss!"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I would fill the White House with chocolate and gravy (but not together) and mashed potatoes or maybe fill it with root beer. I'd drive through the White House on a boat. We'd make the floor out of mashed potatoes and the house would be filled with mashed potatoes. ... I'd have a couch made out of pudding that you could eat with a giant spoon.

I LOVE THIS KID

He's got a serious jones for mashed potatoes. I like him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Food on the floor is nasty, though!

ALSO I'm still looking for a perfume that smells like maple syrup. Maybe I should expand that to include fenugreek perfume?

Maybe just take a lot of fenugreek, so you smell like maple syrup?

OMG you guys, I just got the project that would not die out the door! The editor from hell had no more edits! It's done!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My work nemesis is annoying me so much that I want to tape record her just so other people can hear and back up my annoyedness. Seriously, she DOES NOT SHUT UP with the running commentary about everything she is doing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Jesse - perhaps you'd like to come over and help me out with the invoices from hell. They go back 3 months with this vendor, they require sign off from 6 different units in the company, and an error (by my predecessor) was discovered so the costs to each unit have changed slightly since I originally distributed them for approval. I have to send out the old docs showing cost breakdowns and the new ones today. I am sure no one will be confused.

Ha ha ha! Yeah, no thanks. Good luck w/that.
