Its been one weird week here at Miss Cellania. On Friday, I doubled my all-time record of daily hits. It was because of this post, which was Digged a few hundred times, leading to thousands of detours to look at my t-shirt. If that’s entertainment, I’ve been working too hard.

In case you are wondering about the Google Christmas Card, they go to those who bring in lots of customers via Google Adsense. The Google ads you see on blogs are pay-per-click (not much, but it adds up). But you can’t click on your own ads, so I’ve been making it a habit to click on a Google ad or two when I see them on someone else’s blog (hint hint).

Mr. Joe Blog published a nice review of this site, putting more work into reading my archives than I ever would. Bless his heart! He also collects links and jokes and stuff on the net.

It looks like an epidemic of busted screens for  users of Nintendo’s new Wii game system, although the actual ratio of sccidents per unit sold has not been determined.

1. Wear the wrist strap.
2. Hold the Wii Remote firmly and do not let go.

Some people (me included) think the edge of the brownie is the best part. You can have more edge with the Baker’s Edge, a pan that gives all your brownies an edge! I believe it should reduce baking time, also. (via Dustbury)

Oops, The Waiter Did It!

One evening, a very attractive young lady was sitting in a fine restaurant patiently awaiting her date.

While waiting, she decided to make sure that she looked perfect for him. So the young lady bends down in her chair in order to get a mirror from her purse. Then just as the waiter walks up, she accidentally farts quite loudly.

The lady immediately sat up straight, embarrassed and red faced, sure that everyone in the place had heard her. Quickly she turns to the waiter and demands, "Stop That!"

The waiter looks at her dryly and says, "Sure lady. Which way was it headed?"

LIPSTICK IN SCHOOL 

(Thanks, April!)
According to a news report, a  certain school in Garden City, MI was  recently faced with a unique  problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the washroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night, the maintenance man would remove them  and the next day, the girls would put them back.

Finally the principal  decided that something had to be done. He  called all the girls to the  washroom and met them there with the  maintenance man. He explained that all  these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to  clean the mirrors every night. To demonstrate how difficult it had been  to clean the mirrors, he  asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much  effort was required.

He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in  the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.

Thought for today: Fifteen days ago, I read that smoking can kill you; the next day I stopped smoking. Twelve days ago, I read that too much red meat can kill you; the next day I stopped eating red meat. Eight days ago, I read that drinking can kill you; the next day I stopped drinking. Yesterday, I read that having sex can kill you;  this morning I stopped reading.
