Crappy Shelves, Great Price!

Untitled, originally uploaded by Senor Velasco.

So I bought a couple clearance bookshelves. $15 apiece. Normally $60. I think they're barely worth $15, but they're serviceable, as far as particle board goes.

Anyway, this is about as advanced as my Sketchup skills are at this point. If they inspire you, you have issues.

Speaking of "Trifecta"...

I now have my triumvirate of signed photographs of South Dakota's three congressmen. (Yes, Stephanie Herseth isn't a man, but if she was, she'd be quite the looker!) For your enjoyment, I present Tim Johnson, unofficially deemed by South Dakotans as "South Dakota Congressperson I'd Least Like to Play Cribbage With."

Ow, my eye!

I don't know how or when (though I have an idea), but my stinking eye is swollen and itchy. I thinkning a piece of noxious weed got in my eye when I was whacking the abundance of foliage in our little orchard out back. I also have little rashes and swollen areas breaking out on various parts of my body. I hate this!

To vent my frustrations, here's an autographed picture of Stephanie Herseth I just got in the mail.

Trifecta: A Word I'm Beginning To Hate

I just wanted to vent about that word. It's annoying, it's pretentious and every last person on the blogosphere (yes, that's hackneyed, too) is using it. Go back to "trio," or at least "triumvirate." On second thought, save "triumvirate" for Robotech.

Thanks, Lowes!

Headline of the Day

This, from Fark.com:

"In God We Trust" now Florida's official state motto. Apparently "Woo hoo it's crazy here and we're all out of our minds" already taken.

Read the real story.

Dinky Car

This really doesn't have anything to do with being crappy (except that it happened during my crappy 35-minute commute) but look at the silly car! What a little sissy! It's like the short bus for private school! Whatever that means.


Is this a BMW Isetta?
