May 8th, 2001:

Finally!!! I am going home.

Oh show me the way to go home.
I’m tired and I wanna go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it went right to my head.
Over land or sea or foam,
Where ever I may roam,
You can always hear me singin’ a song:
Show me the way to go home.

I am not sure WHY it is so funny… but it really cracks me that people are actually forwarding this around… even to people who don’t use the service:

Dear Hotmail User,

Our hotmail system is getting to crowded!! We need you to forward
this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number,
but we need tofind out who is really using their account.

If you do not send this to at least 10 Hotmail members,we will
delete your account. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Sincerely,Director of Hotmail Services

Are THAT many people really THIS gullible?

A phone call this morning:

Her: I think something died in my kitchen.
Me: What, like a rat?
Her: Yeah, like a moose.
Her: Bullwinkle died in my kitchen.

Bah. I got up late. I kept telling myself “just five more minutes”. Well, five turned to ten, ten into twenty, twenty into fourty…. and now…. now I am out of bed just over an hour later than I wanted to be.

Bah.
