8-bit cross-stitch(e:dragonlady7) has started up a craft club which involves bringing a craft project, ignoring it while you drink a lot of alcohol, staying over, sleeping late, working off your hangover, and then putting in a couple stitches before heading home. We're very productive! But up until this weekend, my stated project was 'fidgeting.' Like, winding thread or something I guess. So this weekend I upgraded to 'advanced fidgeting:'

i don't know about this.
...but if you don't, we'll send the deformed babies in person next time.
Cleft palate is a serious problem, and they say they can fix it in 45 minutes for only $250. That's amazing! It boggles my mind. But am I the only person who sees an implied threat to send unsettling photos until I pay up?

There's that other charity "God Kills a Kitten" where they kill a kitten (on behalf of god, one would suppose) if you don't donate.
I think the money all goes to Sally Struthers.

On principle, I would never give money to an organization named Smile Train no matter how worthy the cause.

The thing about living in Buffalo is that you always need to take visitors to Niagara Falls. Now I actually like going to Niagara Falls, but this past summer we ended up taking two sets of people there on two consecutive weekends. When you get that much Niagara Falls, the eye tends to wander. And it doesn't have to wander far before it starts to see how much schlock you can get.
One of the things they'll try to sell you is a green-screen photo of you in front of Niagara Falls. You could just walk across the street and take as many pictures as you want of the real thing - for free - but I guess some people would rather pay cash for a dorky simulation. Now, thanks to technology,* you can get a dorky simulation for free!
0. If the Flash app isn't directly above this, go here
1. Allow camera access, if necessary.
2. Get out of the camera frame.
3. Click 'Background.'
4. Use the slider to move the background, and adjust the threshold if necessary.
5. Say cheese, and click 'Save.'
6. There you go, you just saved eight bucks.

Wait, where is the free souvenir? I see only a link to that blender thingy. Is that it? Can you elaborate for the clueless amongst us (that would be me, btw)?

1. Brian studied Astrophysics at Imperial College, London and gained his BSc before progressing to a PhD. He put his academic career on hold to concentrate on his musical ambitions and more than 30 years later, in October 2007, Brian completed his PhD thesis A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud and was awarded his doctorate.
WOW. I had no idea as well. That is phenomenal.
Lead guitarist. Professor. Chancellor.
2. That someone has fixed the map.

Somehow, I knew Brian May was an astrophysicist. Garbage brain syndrome.

That is so cute!
I want to be part of this craft club. I will bring my own orange juice as well.
You captured the spirit of your avatar here pretty well... well, except for the spot of blood in the ear and the finger.
