ALLIANCE UPDATE

First, a note from Susie to spread the word that Alliance member Serenity has run into (ok, limped into on her broken ankle) a little financial crisis and urges all to send sympathy, compassion, and/or a little green.

The Ralph Nader Campaign Slogan Round-up. This week, I'm picking a "best of show" entry, and it's GEBIV of There's One, Only! This guy's obviously angling for a slot on my "bloggers I'll never be funnier than" list. It's kinda spooky the way he just gets exponentially better every week. Sort of like that crazy ESP guy in that 'Where No Man Has Gone Before" Star Trek episode. Hmmm. I might have to strand GEBIV on a barren planet somewhere and drop a rock on him.

New (and easier) PGH: Respond to the Venezuelan's assertion that "The US only went into Iraq because of the oil. They're going to take all of the oil, and sell it to fund their global imperialism."

A non-assignment-related filthy lie (it's a visual).

24 hours to the deadline for entering your new Instapundit logo.

COFFEE CRISIS

I've had a tiny little home espresso maker for about 10 years now. Remarkably durable, considering it only cost me $25.

The only problem is, once you get used to the strength and the naked flavor of espresso, normal coffee tastes like oily mud by comparison. Watery, oily mud.

The only solution I've found at work (industrial 12-cup drip maker) is to put the coffee grounds in the basket, pour in the water, and then immediately put my coffee cup on the burner instead of the pot. The first 4-6 ounces are strong enough to be tolerable, after that, it just gets increasingly diluted, and thus increasingly evil.

There are worse things, though. Two Nervous Dogs shows what happens when your home espresso maker breaks down and you're forced to resort to... a home drip coffee maker.

*shudder*

Don't be drinking coffee (or any other beverage) while reading this.

NOW WITH MORE TALL & YUMMY

tallglassofmilk from Drink This has posted some pictures showing her with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Some very fine pictures.

The thing that impresses me most about Dale Jr. in the first picture is his eyes. Notice that they're aimed upward at about a 20 degree angle.

If it were me in the picture, I wouldn't be fighting gravity so hard.

I hate people with class. They make me look bad :-(

BAD DAY

Teresa of Technicalities had to put her dog to sleep today. I'm not good with words of comfort, so I just put something clumsy in the comments. Anyone who's better at it (which would be most people) please stop by.

WHAT'S MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN A GIRL WITH A GUN?

A super-hot Lego-mama sportin' TWO guns and cleavage that just won't quit. Which would be America's #1 Pin-up Girl, Dana of Note-It Posts.

Ya know, I'm still waiting for someone to put a nipple shield on one of these...

TIFFANY'S GOOD BETWEEN THE SHEETS

...Oops! Typo. That was supposed to say "with" the sheets... Tiffany of Blown Fuse give a pictorial tutorial on how to fold a fitted sheet so that it looks more like a normal sheet, and less like a renegade sack of potatoes in your linen closet.

Having created said sack just last week while tidying up the laundry, this subject is near & dear to me.

UNFORTUNATELY, I'M SERIOUS

I've been alerted to 2 things recently. First, that my e-mail address has apparently been harvested for use in sending out virus e-mails. My system is clean, so it's not going out globally to my address book. But Linda of Civilization Calls did get a mysterious attachment with my return address, as did Susie. I'm guessing both addresses got picked out of my blog somewhere, so you may want to spam-proof your e-mail address, if you leave a comment.

My policy on sending out attachments in e-mails is as follows: the only thing I will send you unannounced is a picture. If I'm sending any other kind of file, we will have discussed it first.

The second thing I've heard is that viruses are now being sent in .zip files, because virus scanning software can't peek into compressed files.

Just a heads up. Have fun out there, but wear your cyber-condom.

UPDATE: Here's an example of a particularly seductive e-mail that's going around:

Dear user, the management of [e-mail of someone you know & trust] mailing system wants to let you know that,

Our antivirus software has detected a large ammount of viruses outgoing from your email account, you may use our free anti-virus tool to clean up your computer software.

For further details see the attach.

For security purposes the attached file is password protected. Password is "34730".

Sincerely,
[person you know & trust]
