Mike needs to be famous… and fast.

I was going to say “I hope he would do the same for me” … oh, wait – he already has! With graphics even! (Even more times then I can link to – you can see them all here!)

I swear – playing Collapse is more addictive then Crack. Errr, not that I personally know first hand how addictive Crack is, but I’ve heard it’s pretty bad. I was thinking about playing Collapse the other day, and then Brandy mentioned playing Bejeweled and that was it. Now I’m a Collapse playing fool again.

Speaking of games, Mike was looking for suggestions on the latest and greatest games out there – Action, FPS, RPG games; no Simulation and no Sports. What’s good? What’s coming up on the horizon?

I posted earlier about the changes made to the Harry Potter books, and it in turn inspired Jake to write a hysterically funny analysis of “What If Hollywood Made The Lord of the Rings?” If nothing else, read it just to see the picture of Frodo. Oh my, I laughed so hard I cried! Just the thought of Chris Tucker as Pippin or David Spade as Samwise… Oh my! Thank goodness Hollywood didn’t get their hands on it!

I was going through and deleting my spam earlier, and it cracks me up every time. I was telling Jay about it over lunch the other day – I signed up for something once and put in the name of “Friend” and an address of “123 Some Street”. Now I get those spam e-mails all the time that are addressed to “Friend, have we got a deal for you!” or the junk from the label companies offering to send “Friend” their 250 free labels for their house at 123 Some Street, Anytown, NY. I also get things addressed to “Join” a lot, thanks to the spiders hitting the Well, Slap Me Silly! site. Oops!

I just got another e-mail addressed to “Friend”, and it made me think of the perfect Country & Western song – “You Never Called Me by My Name. Of course, now I’ve got it stuck in my head! I feel like I should be at the Dixie Chicken with a drink, swaying with the crowd, singing the song really loud and off key! Come on, let’s sing it together!

Well, it was all
that I could do to keep from cryin’.
Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain.
But you don’t have to call me Darlin’, Darlin’…
You never even call me by my name.

OMG! I want ALL of these buttons. I love them! If I could only have one, I think it would have to be the “Axis of Evil” one. But really, I want them all! [via Kelly, discovered in ed k.’s comments.]
