I’ve mentioned The Chinese Tattoo Prank to people so much that I figured I might as well post a link to it here. Go read about what happened when some poor girl found out her trendy new tattoo of a Chinese character translated to “bean curd” when she thought it meant “inner peace.”

Arr! Surrender yer booty or prepared to be boarded!

Aye, me hearties! It be the day when we give proper grammar and spelling the old heave-ho and embrace that which is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Show yer pirate heritage or just confuse the blazes outta some landlubber by talking like a pirate today!

TLAPD + working in a seafood restaurant = I am so going to get fired today.

Quoted from the website:

The term “Shotgun” refers to the front passenger seat of an automobile. “Calling Shotgun” is the act of claiming the position of Shotgun for one’s self. As this position is the most coveted of all positions when riding in a car, the following list of rules has been created to ensure that Shotgun can be acquired in a fair and equitable manner by any passenger of an automobile.

I never knew there were official rules, but surprisingly, they hardly differ at all from what I’ve always accepted.

Check out The Official Shotgun Rules. You can even buy a pocket reference for your glove-compartment!

9,000 ladybugs for just $19.99! [See June 19th Edit] What a deal! Check out the comments. Absolute hilarity.

UPDATE (June 13th, 2004): The aforementioned funny comments don’t seem to last much longer than 24 hours. It appears that the watchdogs at Amazon don’t appreciate the ramblings of every random smart-ass that happens upon their site.
UPDATE (June 19th, 2010): Apparently 9,000 was just too many. They dialed it back to only 1,500.

Today at work, I was checking off the credit card receipts that we had amassed for the day so that I could submit them into the day’s paperwork. All of them seemed normal until I came across one that someone had signed as “weirdo.”

Seeing this reminded me of a link Barry sent me a while back about a guy who ran a little experiment with his credit card signatures. His question: “How crazy would I have to make my signature before someone would actually notice?”

I give you The Credit Card Prank.
