Things I'd want to roll my eyes at. That was one of the suggestions of what I should post. Since I've had a fairly uneventful day today and my brain is halfway to mush, I just might make that list. Here goes:
....and guess what Internet browser I'm forced to use at this otherwise wonderful library?
*By the way. "Tuerzojos" is the word I made up as the Spanish equivalent of my familiar *rolleyes* chat pseudo-emoticon. Torcer los ojos is how "to roll the eyes" is said in Spanish. Tuerzo los ojos... tuerzojos... you see?
- dumb smart-alec comments
- sale prices that are higher than Aldi's regular prices for a comparable product
- a college student's insistence that they know a better way to change the world than anybody else
- children's having cell phones
- the singing fish (and it's SUCH an earworm!)
- people who know the words to the Ferret Song by heart (yes, that includes you, J)
- ten-year-olds with boyfriends and girlfriends
- hypocritical statements made by the same person in the same breath
- paisley skirts
- anything else paisley
- movies that make super-overstated claims about their own ingenuity or emotional power
- writers who make the mistake of equating correlation with causation
- lapdogs
- any animal in an outfit not worn on Christmas or Halloween, or possibly in a parade
- Christian romance novels
- for that matter, any romance novel that perpetuates either the perfect-gentleman-without-flaw stereotype or the he's-the-one myth of the soul mate
- butterfly rings (the kind that wiggle a bit and have sparkly antennae)
- agreeance and effectiveness
- arrogant people
- unimaginative tattoos on high school or college students
- striped toe socks
- people who complain that they're bored
- shag carpet
- absurd Paris styles
- most styles praised on Project Runway (last I knew)
- stale Internet memes
- political promises
- much of what passes for Christian comedy
- Internet Explorer

The singing fish?
You've met more than one person who knows the ferret song?
You don't want people to agree or be effective?
What's wrong with stripped toe socks? :-D
What about shag throw carpets?
You're silly....:-)

Carol: Looks like you might have been on some computer that was logged in like that. I'm not sure otherwise why it would do that. Also, yours was the 1000th comment. :)
But, as a scientist, I not only roll my eyes, but I puke a little in my mouth over the correlation/causation issue! Lol
What is the ferret song?
And how young is "child" in the cell phone bullet? I had one when I was 10.... But then again, I was taking trains alone to and from places all the time by myself, so it was rather important...Sofia should probably wait until she is at least 4 before she gets an iPhone ;) jk
And Sarah, tried any Gilbert Morris Books lately? :D
Give singing fish a chance! They are after all, special fish :D
As far as the children-with-cell-phones thing goes, it's usually kids who are always with their parents anyways (like ten years old, but here in the States were parents wouldn't dream of sending them anywhere a teacher or bus driver weren't present). All they do is put little pink stickers and beads on the phone and ignore people while they text incessantly about... oh probably My Little Pony. Haha, Sofia probably has one already just for the apps!
Sam: *tuerzojos* x2!
