Thanking our Veterans for defending our freedom to make really bad jokes....

My all-in-one HP is again all-, more or less, in-one, it having decided, once again, that it really didn't want to go out with Vista anymore. In between waiting for THAT complete un-and-re-install for much of yesterday and most of this morning, I've worked my way through all make and manner of bad puns:

* To the grrls, in the kitchen, after Eleanor commented that a rather out-of-touch customer came into the store looking for Kellogg's Product 19 cereal:
I never understood the name of that cereal anyway. How can it be "Product" ANYTHING when 19 is a prime number?

(Em got the joke before Eleanor did. Math geek just like me, that one....)

* In a comment, just now, on the Mock potential of the current series of commercials for the new Droid phone:

What I want to know is, does the Droid come with a Data plan, and if so, does it allow you to use contractions? Also, I want to be the first to walk into a Verizon store, look at all the available products, and tell the salesperson, "These are not the Droids I am looking for."

(That phrase, used with the word Verizon, is completely Google-free, so I hereby pwn it.)

* In response to a Facebook poll about the Oh No Here We Go Again Another Urban Legend about Obama changing the name of the White House Christmas tree to a "holiday tree" and banning religious symbols from it (ppl, ALWAYS check with Snopes before spreading this kind of crap), I figured I'd post my own:



(After looking at some of the other nutjob posts created through that app, though, I cheekened out, figuring that the ones who saw the satire would put out a fatwa on me, and the ones who didn't would probably start sending me invites to join them in their ongoing Facebook game of Klanville.)

Next week's been shaping up as one of those Week From Hell deals I get all too often, but already the two conflicting appointments have been de-conflicted and one of them may wind up put off indefinitely. Tomorrow's my only travel day of this week, and may be well worth it, for I'm hoping to come home with two relatively new off-lease Thinkpads for the grrls. The way things go around here, their finest feature may be that they are, in my guru's word, "indestructable."

(Don't tempt us, Vinny.)
