Do you ever intentionally click on spam in your inbox, and do you notice how some of them have a bit of story at the end? I don't have a reference sample at the moment, but the top half of the spam would be as spam would be, text about how big penises are good and a link to where you can buy pills, and then there'll be some space, and at the bottom, for example, it would say:
Gary turned the corner, and up in the distance he saw Central Park. The trees were in bloom, with each leaf rich with color. It was the most beautiful sight Gary has ever seen. As he started into the trees, he noticed the leaves turn to him, as if he
Did you ever notice that? That's pretty weird! Although, if you didn't know that before, or if you did know that, maybe it makes you want to read spam more often, so maybe the tactic works. There are some pretty good sentences in this spam things...
--- sentences
- I'm stuck on level 8 in Guitar Hero 3 (one one song at 35%, ugh, gonna take a while with that one).
- we bought new dumbbells, now we have two 8's and two 15's, will probably end up buying slightly heavier ones next month
- the AC in the office is back, yay! for the past few days, it's been like a sauna in here...
--- trivia?
To be honest, when I started the day, I didn't think I'd have anything to blog about. I also didn't have any trivia either... Wen suggested I do movie trivia, but I haven't really thought about that yet. That, and I'm kinda busy at work today... yet, I still manage to find time to write a little bit of something.
Obviously I can't really do audio stuff at work... but I can do some other trivia... this one might be a biggie... hold on.
(note that these trivia were done by ear, not by text, so some might be off by a few words...)
List A:
1: "I don't know, I don't want to, I'm okay!"
2: "A single breath I could take... I'd trade all the others away"
3: "Reminds me of childhood memories, where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky"
List B:
1: "That's the notion, assuming you're, yeah, sleepy"
2: "Well, work is real scarce for a couple just starting out"
3: "None of it means a damn thing."
List C:
1: "Cooking and working and sleeping in teams..."
2: "We're the middle children of history man! No purpose or place."
3: "I think you know" / "No I don't" / "Yes you do"
List D:
1: "And maybe you just need... a friend"
2: "How many times have you been pushed around?"
3: "And if I don't make it... know that... I loved you all along"
List E:
1: "But thick as you are, pay attention!"
2: "The future is littered with prizes..."
3: "Lots of food!"
Okay! I just made up this trivia this afternoon, and you probably already understand it. Each of these lists have 3 elements, and the 3 elements... umm.. define the answer? So for example, with List E, you'll say "These are backstreet boys songs", and E:1: is from "Your Heart is Awesome" and E:2: is from "I have the right to love you" and E:3: is from "The New Math"... and so on. And you get points accordingly. Some "Lists" don't really have points, or some lists are harder than others... there's even one tricky list... but I'll let you guys worry about that.
Enjoy!
