tommyrot, your link next to the parenthetical about rare convertibles goes to bikes (which are not pink, so I strongly suspect they were not what you meant to link to)

It's the curse of linking directly to a graphic instead of the web page.

eta: Fixed: [link]

Ooh, I just added the firefox wordnik addon, so I can now highlight text and right-click and search wordnik! It needs to be a search bar option too. Can somebody get on that?

Don't forget the Mary Kay pink cars. I think they still do that.

I saw a Mary Kay pink Caddy SUV just a couple days ago.

I drove past a cute guy riding a hot pink bike today. I live in a lefty liberal progressive town, so it could have been a number of things: progressive guy saying F---stereotypes, gay guy embracing the fabulous, critical mass guy was sideswiped one time too many by a driver who swore s/he never saw the bike, macho guy thinks it's too girly for words but lost a bet, thrifty guy found this bike on sale.

I've given this too much thought, perhaps, but the guy was really cute and the bike was really pink.

For example, in "Just like a Prayer", I thought the words were "When you call my name, it's like a wing to a prayer" instead of "Little prayer". That makes no logical sense.

I thought it was "When you call my name, it's like I'm into a prayer" until two minutes ago.

It needs to be a search bar option too. Can somebody get on that?

That must be fairly easily possible.

I say this because Opera lets me do it (wo variegated will look up variegated on Wordnik for me, since I stipulated that) and as much as I likes me some Opera, I'm fairly sure the other browsers match its functionality.

Mary Kay pink cars are repainted before they're sent to auction and sold, usually silver. It's part of the legal agreement MK has with GM and their fleet management company. You will never see a MK pink Cadillac unless it's being used by an independent beauty consultant.

That specific shade of pink is also owned and trademarked by MK. GM just has the right to use it for the sole purpose of painting their cars.

How interesting, Maria!

I woke up with a migraine. Took some stuff, went back to sleep. It didn't help, but luckily my conference call earlier was canceled. I eventually took some more heavy-duty stuff, and am feeling woozy but OK now. Trying to decide if I need to do work, or if I will actually be able to convince myself to do some tomorrow. I kinda doubt it. Maybe if I take a shower.

Airlines are so weird. I have to go to Ottawa next week. Chicago to Ottawa to Chicago = $1800. If I start in Milwaukee, where I need to go drop the dog off anyway, I go Milwaukee to Chicago to Ottawa back to Chicago and it's like $600 cheaper. Exact same Chicago/Ottawa flights.

Also: damn, Ottawa's expensive to get to.
