70,000 Comments!

So my stats counter says

this blog has now received

70,000 comments

since its start almost

14 years ago in 2008.

Yowza!

Thanks to everyone who has

ever commented over the years!

And special thanks to

all you regular commenters!

I read and enjoy every comment

that is published!

And I appreciate that all you commenters

are so civil and well-behaved.

Your comments are always

intelligent, thought-provoking,

insightful and often very funny!

Yes, every once in awhile,

there will be a minor

brouhaha or contretemps

in the comments section --

But even that is not without its fun.

Of course, it's pretty much

always the same commenter

behind the flying fur (so to speak)

and I think we all know who that is.

But even HRH's contributions towards

reaching this 70,000 milestone

are appreciated!

HRH's New Religion

UH-OH.

Her Royal Highness the Cat

read my last post and took it to heart.

Now she's busy proselytizing.

She expects you all to join.

EXPECTS it.

You will be welcomed to her flock.

And you will enjoy the warmth

of her Divine Love.

However, never ever question HRH

or challenge her authority.

She has already put ME on notice.

What can I say?

Easy and Fun DIY Project!

Invent your OWN religion!

Have a good creation myth,

but don't get TOO bureaucratic

about the details --

A creation myth but told through the lens of modern project management.

“Per my previous email I rerouted the evolutionary chain to crabs because it is our most finished module. if you would like to interface about this you can click here to schedule a 1x1 with me, otherwise the entire Carcinisation demo is here.”

Hi, just hoping to follow up before the all hands meeting this Friday. The ocean development team has made great progress on their wildlife milestones, but early UX testing indicates that users find most of the demo products unsettling. Our VP of Product Design would like to remind wildlife developers to please follow the design team's "fish" moodboard and refrain from adding too many features (needle teeth, glowing head lamps, tentacles, etc.) or else the final product will become cluttered.

Start small and GROW!

Put in lots of CONTROLLING,

CRAZYMAKING shit!

The best part is -- base

"you know who" on

YOURSELF!

Remember: CIRCULAR LOGIC rocks!

Throw in some

FREEBIE

that people will fall for!

Two More Hockey Hair Gods

So to update my (shall we say) continuing fascination with long-haired hockey players, I spotted two more prime specimens while watching this year's Stanley Cup playoffs. Yes, these guys were the highlights of the entire playoffs for me.

(1) IGOR SHESTERKIN, Russian goalie for the New York Rangers. And he's a real tease about his long hair, too. He knows it's sexy!

(2) MIKA ZIBANEJAD, centre and alternate captain of the New York Rangers. He's from Sweden, but his heritage is Iranian and Finnish. What magnificent long hair, especially before it gets all sweaty!

That's all for now! I'll report back to you again next hockey season!

Thursday Art Date With Rain -- "A Poem"

This week, Rain's creativity prompt is not for artwork but for a poem! In the past, I dabbled in writing poetry, but the Muse deserted me once I started this blog because my efforts at writing were directed to blogging instead.

Actually, now that I think of it, the Muse should have deserted me before I wrote the following particularly histrionic piece of satirical nonsense. Oh well, too late now. Here it is for your amusement.

the horror of it all

when I was young

and full of

Self-Conscious Angst

I used to think my situation was

Tragic

I have the soul of a poet

trapped in the body of a lawyer!

but today I'm older

and wiser, as these things go.

I now realize my situation is

Even More Tragic
