Love his site, but especially love when he picks on Jakob Nielsen. This week we cover the (Jakob) Nielsen Ratings, which includes a review of my current favorite show, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy

Dear Fox News:

Are you on crack? Not only do you file a stupid suit that states people will trick consumers into believing you’re somehow behind this book (gee, thanks for giving us so much credit), but you use the suit to personally attack Franken? ARE YOU INSANE? Any small amount of credibility you were gaining has now been flushed down the toiled, just like your suit.

My ISP is finally filtering out all the viruses from the emails coming in to their server (I could tell because all those emails now have “{virus?} appended to the front of the subject, which wasn’t there yesterday)

So the mail gets in your box. What does it say?

I’M NOT OPENING YOUR #!%$&# ATTACHMENT, POO-FOR-BRAINS!

It’s a stupid text file, so why not just put it in the body of the email? GOD that’s annoying! We’re trying to train people not to open attachments and this is your plan? GRRRRR

Update: She either wasn’t there when I picked him up, or he really didn’t recognize her today. The teacher was as tickled as I was, and she really wanted to know who it was. She apparently thinks he’s the nicest kid to ever walk the planet, which is just the perfect thing to say to a mom. I mean, there’s nothing else that I want to hear.

Anyway, he expanded on the hair thing a little: “It looked like a sand castle”. If I had the time, I’d Photoshop a little something and ask “is this her?” but alas, I don’t have the time or the software.

I’m going to back off asking about this girlfriend cause he has already starting acting self-conscious about it, and I don’t want him to not tell me stuff like this anymore.

p.s. Anyone else picturing the old lady with the big blue beehive hairdo in Better Off Dead? (It was that movie, wasn’t it? She was driving really slowly? I keep thinking it was either that or Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.)

I know it’s been a while since I’ve talked about my invisible daughter-in-law Julia, but she does come up every once in a while. About two weeks ago Junior mentioned something about Julia and Jim (Jim is his invisible buddy, I’m not sure if he lives with us or not), but since then nothing.

Yesterday when he got home from his new child care center, aside from gushing that it was the greatest place in the universe, he casually mentioned that he had a new girlfriend. I’m loving and supportive, and trying hard not to be the jealous psycho mom you see in TV movies, so I don’t tell him he’s too young. I don’t even tell him that because he’s already married to Julia he can’t actually have a girlfriend. I just ask what her name is.

“I don’t know. But she wears an orange shirt.”

“Well honey, what if she isn’t wearing that shirt tomorrow?”

“She has a mountain of hair.”

Oh good gravy, it’s so hard to keep a straight face sometime. Don’t you just want to eat him up? Miss Mountain-of-Hair is a very lucky young lady.
