Mind Bloggling

According to this article I am reading in USAToday, over 35,000 videos are uploaded to YouTube each DAY !!
So I am ck'ing the site and see that one of the most watched is Mortal Peep Fight which should have been named Peeps in the Microwave. By Sunday late afternoon, this video has been viewed 877,361 times.....is it that entertaining ?....you decide.


I think not. Miller and I were planning to do a new Peeps website right before he died. I still have several boxes of yellow (mostly) Peeps and a whole bunch of props I had rounded up, mostly for the doll dept at Dollar Tree. I found that they had the very best ultra miniature doll accessories. ...Tiny hats, gloves, a tiny laptop, manatee snorkeling equipment....that sort of thing. Little beach chairs....It is all at the mini-storage.

I was thinking it would be fun , like making ViewMaster cells. Miller was so funny, that I was sure that he would come up with some funny dialog and ideas for Peep scenes. Jack Black reminds me a lot of Miller when I see him on late night talk shows. Anyway, I lost my enthuseasim for the Peeps site.......but since it looks like the country at large finds Peeps mighty entertaining, I maybe I should proceed.

FYI-The average YouTube site user watches 30 min of ho-made video per day.

Jack Black reminds me of Miller too. Have you seen Shallow Hal or the School of Rock?

I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
