Who ARE these guys?

Here's a blog with only one post, yet it has 301 comments so far.
It asks one simple question:

Who ARE these guys?

My Imaginary Album

I got this idea from Heather.
Just follow these simple directions to come up with your own imaginary band's first album cover and title.

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
This is a random article thing from Wikipedia. Click on it.
The article title you get is the NAME OF YOUR BAND.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
A page of random quotations.
Look at the bottom of the page... The last four words of the very last quote is the TITLE OF YOUR ALBUM.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
A page of pictures uploaded to Flickr in the past 7 days.
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your ALBUM COVER.

Now that you're a rock star, go to any graphics program and make a picture of the album!

Here's what mine ended up being:
.

In case you were wondering, apparently "Hurka" is the name of a subway station in Prague.

And here was the entire quote I got:
"A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents."
-- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

I have no idea what the picture is, but I really like it. It's artsy-fartsy and just a little bit strange. It fits me perfectly!

Sniff.... Sniff....

For those of you who perhaps sometimes suspect that I have waaaay too much time on my hands:
(1) Thank you for not saying it out loud. At least not where I can hear you. (Hey! I heard that!)
(2) You simply must check out this great post over at Cranky Old Bastard's blog. He and his friends smell-tested 56 different varieties of women's deodorant. The descriptions are hilarious, as well as a little disturbing. (Example: "Rotting grape jelly," "Cinnamon and ass," "Old Man," "Urine and rotted fruit, "Acetone and diapers"). Check it out and make sure your armpits smell the way they're supposed to. (For example, in my personal opinion, 'cinnamon and ass' should only be worn with a red outfit.)

Blog: "Letters I Wish I'd Sent"

Random blurfing for today:
http://bfwg.blogspot.com/
Have you ever been so annoyed at someone's idiocy that you wanted to send them an anonymous (or not-so-anonymous) letter? Or maybe you actually HAVE written the letter but decided, for whatever reason, not to send it.
Here's a blog FULL of such gems. It's called "Letters I Wish I'd Sent." It's great.
Check it out!
Here are some sample posts:

"A Letter To The Meat Man"
"To The Lady In The Costco Parking Lot"
To All Congressional And Senate Candidates Running Negative Ads"
"To My Friends Asking Stupid Questions"

A kindred spirit!

While blurfing, I found this hilarious blog called "Where The Hell Was I?".
I especially love his post about spicy (HOT) foods, which you all know I love immensely.
Here, ya gotta read this. Click here.
Excerpt:
"So, if you want heat, ask for heat. Tell the waitdork you want yours spicy. Then look 'em in the eye, and say you mean it. Spicy. When they turn to leave, ask again. You got it? Spi. Cee. Si? Tell 'em tabasco's for gargling. Tell 'em if your food's not hot enough, you'll be giving them a Frank's Red Hot enema, free of charge. Tell 'em to tell the chef you slept with his sister, and she wasn't nearly as good as the bums at the bus stop would have you to believe. Seriously. If you want spicy in those joints, you've got to work for it."

Random Blurfings for today

Today's random blurfings include these:

http://mistery-yetti.blogspot.com/
A very brief blog, unfortunately, with only three posts; the last post being on August 17, 2006.
Its focus is on Bigfoot/Yeti/Sasquatch, and proving the existence thereof.
I was immediately reminded of Morgen's Bigfoot-phobia, and KNEW I had to share this blog with him (and the rest of you).

http://obscenedesserts.blogspot.com/
From J. Carter Wood, in Germany. Here's how he describes himself:
"I am a historian, writer, and malcontent, and my worldview lies somewhere between misanthropy and hope. Depends on the day. And the weather."
It's a serious but interesting blog, with plenty of perspectives on news and world events. His English skills are excellent, he is very articulate, and he certainly doesn't mince words.

Random Blurfings

New idea for blog: Random Blurfings.

I'll keep hitting Blogger's "Next Blog" button until I find one that's

(A) in ENGLISH

(B) At least reasonably interesting.

(C) From someone I don't already know.

I'll include a link to either the entire blog or just one particular post I liked. It may not be a recent post; it may be from way back in January 2005....

And, as with the "Random Things About Janna" lists, the frequency and length of this feature will be totally random.

By the way, I love the word "Blurfing"... it sounds so awful, like a mix of barfing and burping, but actually it's just Blog-Surfing! Another term (which I heard on NPR, of all places) is "Blurker". It's the blog equivalent of a mailing list "lurker"... someone who reads what other people are saying but never (or rarely) comments.

So, without further ado, here's our first Random Blurfing. It's from the blog "Secular Front", which mostly deals with political topics. The reason I simply HAD to share it with you, though, was THIS POST, which is great. It's called "Liquid Fish". And ohhhh, my goodness.... If you've ever had neighbors you absolutely hated, or if you've ever been frustrated with the hypocrisy of some organized religions, or if you've ever accidentally left something perishable out of the fridge for a few days, this story is a must-read.
