I Owe Some Friday Fun

Yesterday’s regularly scheduled programming was preempted by a special event (see, Recognition Of A Special Day) and so I feel I should make it up to you, Dear Reader, and post some “Friday Fun” today.

Not that anyone will see it… nobody reads me on Saturdays…

Note: there is some (rather) “adult” language ..

Best Fails of 2011

And on a more serious note..

Is That Email Legitimate?

Folks, a reader sent in a question I really think you should see… Read more

I have a chance to relax a bit today, and I’m going to take it. I hope you all have a safe and a very pleasant weekend.

  1. Hey, I read you on Saturday, Sunday, and every other day of the week.

    I’m not as stupid as many of those characters in the video seem to be.

    I don’t leave many comments here but I do read all of your posts.

    Maybe the blocking of all 3rd Party Elements in Ghostery (a Firefox add-on) is defeating your counter.

    • balmy33,
      Loyal readers are aware (but it’s worth mentioning again) that I use Mozilla’s Firefox browser. And I do so because of the security, privacy, and ad blocking plugins (called “Add ons”) available for it (and I simply say “No thanks” each week when a new version is released). Ghostery (scroll down for RL reviews) is one such add on, and I am glad to hear that someone out there is taking advantage of its availability.

      As for the other thing.. I have to confess I was feeling a bit frisky, and that line was an obscure reference to an article I wrote a long, long time ago now.. (Nobody reads me on Saturdays).
      (I think maybe one.. or possibly two.. people out there might have “caught” that one.)

      Reader ‘support’ such as yours is much appreciated here.. and I haven’t heard that one in a long time, so, it stays.

      ;)
