Just now trying out Opera version 9 Preview. Yeh, it’s a beta version, not yet ready for prime time. or is it? So far, really, really snappy load times, great display of web pages—even faster a better in those categories than Opera 8.5, which has greeatly ourperformed both Firefox and Internet Exploder on my machines.

Nice.

Importing and setting up new wallpapers, skins has improved, too. Lotsa other neat new features, I’m still digging around in.

Fun.

Back to it. Yeh, I know: a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it…

heh

Going strong on three legs. One kinda petered out when the tagee forgot to play the whole game, and one is AWOL, About par.

OTOH, The MaryHunter, Cao and Romeocat have all tagged some real live wires!

I’ll work this week on a post harvesting all the posts I can find (those who play the “ACLU: Here’s Your Sign” meme pool game to a “T” are easiest to find; those who don’t will be hit and miss) and making a lil linkfest outa it as a resource in developing real-world memes to combat the enemies of America that call themselves the ACLU.

Meanwhile, here’s one standout blogger who’s really taken the bit between his teeth and bids well to run away with a first place showing if Stop the ACLU decides to hold a linkfest/vote on the best sign (I need to talk to John/Jay about that, I guess… ). Here are two of the examples of fine signage iHillary has contributed. Check the blog for more, cos there’s more great info (and another sign) there, and I have a feeling more to come…

iHillary, sign #1: ACLU Jihadist Donkey

iHillary, sign #2: Deconstructing America (Ya just have to love the backhand reference to post modernism.)

Edited post to include links to the original meme post, for reference.

What’s with that?

Can someone explain to me why women think “pink” is a color, not a vicious assault on the eyes? I mean, really, whatever devil’s brew of pigments Satan’s minions use to come up with it, pink is never more than a pallid, weak,  sickly red. Like red? Fine. Use RED. This abortion called “pink” is disgusting.

I think maybe so many women think this ugly so-called color is appealing is because of early patterning stemming from abusive parenting. I mean, folks, what else can you call it when parents inflict “pink” on girl babies—pink clothes, toys, rooms for heaven’s sake?!?!

*sigh*

Oh. Well. At least I have sunglasses. (Although with some so-called “pinks” a blindfold would be more useful.)

Coda: BTW, you heard that Barbie and Ken split up, didn’t you? Yeh, The real story is that Ken had spent so many years being brainwashed by Barbie pink that he finally ran off with Blaine. (Yeh, Blaine was only dating Barbie to get to Ken, anyway.)
