Writing for Crafting A Green World, I now have access to our group mailbox that receives lots and lots and lots of bad pitches. Lots.
I have yet to see a pitch as bad as this one.
So this is totally random, but a very nice gentleman named Keith has enlisted me to enlist you to take a survey about Austin and drinking. I know quite a bit about the former and almost nothing about the latter, but Keith was polite and pitches well, so he ensnared me into his evil scheme!
The survey is about bars and clubs and drinks and Austin and the internet, so if you like those things, give him some survey-taking love. It's not short, but not long, and you need something to do while you're zoning out at work anyway.
Someone sending you unwanted joke, urban legend, or chain emails?
Send them an anonymous note asking them to stop.
I'd probably just tell the person, but I'm tickled that this exists.
EITHER
Capitalize on the fact that people search for "breast cancer" online by using that term in your comment spam to try and increase your page rank for your porn site,
OR
Be part of the Burma military junta and criticize other countries for not helping your people even though you refuse to let most of them help you.
You pick!
The giant snakes or the running ants?
There is no good reason in the entire world why anyone should ever spell it "Wyrllwynd."
There are no oppressed whirlwinds who believe in the power of language as a transformative tool for liberation from the dominant power structure. There is no worldwide H shortage.
If you want to be quirky, get a houseplant and name it Lola or something.
Apparently, some readers felt that a post entitled Giant Snakes should have a picture of giant snakes. So we will try this again.
In order to compensate readers for any emotional damages, we also provide the following:
A horse in a convenience store.
Please let us know if there are any other steps we can take to rebuild your trust in Flooded Lizard Kingdom.
So y'all know that wedding dress poll I did? The one that now has 32 comments? Even after someone posted identifying information about the apparently quite popular GILT dress, people keep posting asking where to find it. But then I got this comment:
The "Gilt" is the worst wedding dress because the bottom half looks like a GIANT VAGINA!
I had never thought of it that way.
