On our way to window shop at Babies R Us, I heard, "Baby Got Back." That made me think of Alea and the Pweb anniversary. Then, when I was trying out rocking chairs, the store music began playing "Safety Dance." This also made me think of Alea and the Pweb anniversary and made me laugh, to boot, because apparently the universe wants my mind on Pweb today!

Nom and Pheeny!

You'll need to go into the photos section to see it, but the science teacher has a pet bearded dragon.

Also, this might go a ways toward explaining why I don't understand the problem in the education thread. :stoned:

My friends are having a baby soon and they are seriously considering the name Jael... pronounced Jayelle. It freaks me the crap out.

I knew someone named Jael. Also, someone named Jo-el, which now that I think about it kind of sounds like a Superman character. I don't know if it had the hyphen but that's how it was pronounced (it was a guy).

I was reminded of Nomi this week when Ginny held a corn snake this week and loved it. It was so awesome. No fear at all. I hope that sticks.

I just today recounted to my friends the first time that I held a corn snake. That is what sparked my initial fascination with reptiles. It just felt SO incredibly amazing. I'm so glad she loved it! :D

Well, it's a laugh that you just did, see. ;)

I simply meant after you being mistaken for Jan in the baby picture because you looked similar to Ginny and after Wee Brontosaurus was named after you but not, it would not surprise me at all if Ginny told some folks, many years down the road, about how this snake was what got her interested in reptiles. That she wasn't scared at all this time around doesn't surprise me in the least.

You're like the Pweb Pied Piper.

Actually, I knew exactly what you meant. I didn't know what *I* meant. Like, I was trying to be funny with my evil laugh but I couldn't think of anything witty to say (like that I had a secret plot to train the future generation of pwebbers to follow me or something). So, I just did an evil laugh and I didn't think it made sense. But I did it anyway.

I think "the books" is a pretty obvious thing to remind someone of pweb, but I didn't really expect to see them here. That isn't anyone we know, is it? :stoned: I also like how so many in the comments, noticed, too.

Cracker Barrel cheddar. Reminds me of Paul and Tony, for different reasons.

Thought of Chris.


Tonight my mom was telling me how my dad was "very nonplussed" about something.

"Was he nearly minused?" I asked.

She thought it was very clever. (I didn't take credit.)

That reminded me of Helen. That and Nicki Minaj coming on my MP3 player.

Not that I think Helen is a speech challenged yet articulate black female rapper.

But she totally could pull it off if she wanted to.

Also, completely not the right thread for this, but what's with Willow Smith and Nicki Minaj singin songs together? Does this not blow anyone else's mind?

I saw some birds today; they reminded me of Nomi. During my wait at the train station this morning, I saw some sort of bird of prey try to eat/kill/attack a smaller bird. Then on the way back home, I saw some sort of red-hued bird (are there cardinals around here?) hopping around on a bush. It was pretty neat.
