Whether you support Obama or not, you have to laugh at lines like this one:

Barack Obama buys AMERICAN STUFF. He owns a FORD, a BASEBALL TEAM, and a COMPUTER HE BUILT HIMSELF FROM AMERICAN PARTS. He travels mostly by FORKLIFT.

Google News in denial over Hillary's exit

This is bizarre. Unless I just stepped into a time warp, Google News' top story as of 2:30 p.m. was this CNN report about Obama/Clinton debate in Pennsylvania:

"A Campaign to Hate"

feeds@yuku.com (Ann) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 15:29:05 GMT

I am generally apathetic about politics, especially when the race has nothing to do with actual issues. So I really enjoyed this Washington Post column. Perhaps you will, too!

The newest Ralph

A new Ralph entered the world this morning at 1 a.m.

Congratulations to Mike and Faith on their new baby girl.

As a proud uncle, I had to share the news.

Twitter?

feeds@yuku.com (ratmalph78) — Wed, 14 May 2008 20:38:12 GMT

Can someone explain to me what the heck this Twitter thing is all about? I know the basic concept but I don't get why people are so into reading "micro blogs" on their cell phones and keeping track of what all their friends are doing. It seems kind of pointless to me.

Responses to Pickup Lines

Since my wife is a librarian, she has to deal with creepy unemployed men who loiter in her presence all day long. From time to time, some of those creepy men attempt to make passes at her. Keep in mind, my wife is 8 months pregnant, so that will give you an idea of how creepy they are. Anyway, I was thinking recently about some of my replies that I have actually had to give to women (and men) who have made passes at me over the years. One of my favorite...

See Good Band! Good band!

at my new job

feeds@yuku.com (Ann) — Fri, 09 May 2008 20:55:18 GMT

I was in my boss' office Wednesday, and he and another gentleman were wearing green shirts, so I said, "no one told me it was green day." Luckily, I refrained from saying "good band, good band" out loud. I'm still new; gotta keep the random to a minimum for now.

But is that one too obvious? Or may I have a handicap since I'm really bad at this game?

hate that word

feeds@yuku.com (lvdv) — Fri, 09 May 2008 09:25:54 GMT

Does anyone else hate the word, "blog?"

Does anyone want to fix the grammar of the previous sentence?

I was at a job site in Connecticut last week and saw a high reach fork truck operator talking on a cell phone while operating the truck.

V-Fusion

feeds@yuku.com (ratmalph78) — Fri, 09 May 2008 08:05:39 GMT

Instead of birthday cakes at work, we have "juice toasts" once a month at our staff meetings to recognize birthdays and other milestones. Someone brought V-Fusion for one of the most recent toasts. At first, the thought of drinking a mix between V8 and fruit juice didn't seem too appealing, but I ended up liking it so much that I drank three cups. I should have known better than to think V-Fusion had a similar nutritional value as V8.

Overheard walking to the bus stop today - a woman talking on her cell phone, practically shouting - "Every day, everywhere, you got my ass!"

Comments are the new forums?

feeds@yuku.com (ratmalph78) — Mon, 05 May 2008 19:21:25 GMT

I'm told that rather than post on message boards, the kids these days are leaving comments on MySpace and Facebook instead. Oh yeah, and text messaging. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm a technology geezer at age 29, but I don't really care for either. Long live Web 1.0.

Quick, everyone, laugh and point...

theirs vs. their's

feeds@yuku.com (mikealph) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:29:30 GMT

I found a grammar error committed by Matt Ralph on delanco.org and I thought I would share it. He spelled the possessive pronoun theirs "their's." The possessive pronoun "their's" does not exist. Personal pronouns, like yours and theirs, do not use apostrophes to show possession.

Pranks

Anyone prank or get pranked on April Fool's Day this year.

I lucked out this year. No pranks on me. Not like the year I went to leave for work and discovered the inside was completely covered in tin foil or anything like that.
