BAC tagged me for a meme called RuPaul’s how to choose your drag name. Huh? This is very close to the game we used to called What’s Your Stripper Name, where you combined your first pet with the street you lived on as a child.
1. What is the name of the very first pet you remember having?
2. What is your mother’s maiden name?
3. Put them together, and it is your RuPaul approved drag name.
4. Tag three others.
So my Ru Paul approved Drag Name would be Spinx Wilson. My stripper name would be Laurel Spinx. And I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you like this, go ahead and participate... you can tell Ru Paul that I tagged you!

The Miss Cellania Empire is expanding! Well, sorta. I found myself drafted to be one of the founding members of a new blog called Freedom’s Place. Check it out! There are some really talented people associated with this, so I’m shocked they wanted me around at all.

I did my first Where Are They Now article for YesButNoButYes this past week, focusing on the teen idols of the seventies. Check it out! A special thanks to my artist brother, who did me a quick-and-dirty Photoshop job of the magazine cover at the last minute. I think he did a marvelous job.

I also posted my first Lunch Hour Veg assignment. This one is called Underdog Animals, with six videos of fights that go against what you’d expect in the animal kingdom.

Yvonne DeCarlo died Wednesday at age 84. You might know her a Lily Munster, but she had an amazing film career before The Munsters. Look at these lovely pictures.

Motherpie pointed me toward the Authentic Happiness site, where you can take tests to measure how happy you are. You have to register, and they will use your scores in their research, but they will not identify you. As you can see, I am a pretty happy person! I am especially happy compared to others in my occupational group, which is not surprising considering my occupational group is unemployed. But I am not as happy as others in my zip code, which is also not surprising, seeing that I am trying to get away from it.

Pictaps lets you draw a figure, then watch it dance! Its a lot of fun, and will suck up a lot of your time.

An army major visits the sick soldiers, goes up to one private and asks:
    "What’s your problem, Soldier?"
    "Chronic syphilis, Sir"
    "What treatment are you getting?"
    "Five minutes with the wire brush each day."
    "What’s your ambition?"
    "To get back to the front, Sir."
    "Good man." says the Major.

He goes to the next bed. "What’s your problem, Soldier?"
    "Chronic piles, Sir"
    "What treatment are you getting?"
    "Five minutes with the wire brush each day."
    "What’s your ambition?"
    "To get back to the front, Sir."
    "Good man." says the Major.

    "Five minutes with the wire brush each day."
    "What’s your ambition?"
    "To get the wire brush before the other two, Sir"

The game Valo is quite simple to understand. Click or drag over the blue dots (and other colors) but avoid the red (pink on my screen). Its not difficulut, but it is addictive. Lovely sound effects, too!
