free money
I just got a coupon in the mail for $100 towards Google ads. I'm not going to use it but if you do, send me an email and I'll give you the coupon code. Value drops to $75 after December 4, valid until December 31. It says 'new advertisers only,' but you may be able to work around that.

Nah, Google is just sending the love selectively. I use AdSense.
zobar - 11/12/09 20:49
As I pushed the button I thought: maybe everybody got these. I thought we had something special, Google!

Just had to say that I literally just finished opening the same mail when I clicked on your post.

live-blogging cross-stitch
Great party last night! It's always fun but also interesting hanging out with the (e:peeps). We left around 1a because (e:dragonlady7) was sleepy and actually under the weather [not the hamthrax, though].

You may not believe it from the frequency of my updates, but I'm live-blogging my crafting too. Someone was taking up the only sunny spot in the house.

OK this photo may be slightly too cute. (e:dragonlady7) earnestly cautioned me that if I posted crafts on the Internet, it would be assumed that I am female. Now I understand.

Does anybody want a copy of the chart?

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:'

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.

...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?

I love that!

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.
james - 10/22/09 14:34
On principle, I would never give money to an organization named Smile Train no matter how worthy the cause.

I'm at a loss!
tinypliny - 10/07/09 11:08
What I want to know is WHERE IS THE REAL CUKI, DAMMIT?
dcoffee - 10/07/09 11:03
yes awesome. But what do they sound like, and why are they wearing jackets.
paul - 10/07/09 10:26
Does zobar mean something?
zobar - 10/07/09 10:12
This is not an essay question!
