A dude named John Green cold called me at work.

He was all, "We're a website marketing firm...have you ever heard of us blah blah we have 9 billion hits and crap."

I told him we are not interested in them helping us market our site.

"How can you know you're not interested if you don't know what we will do for you?"

"Because we don't need to market our site."

"I thought you were in charge of marketing your site. How can you be in charge of it if you don't do it?"

"I'm in charge of making sure our site is not marketed. It's invitation only."

"That's weird." [click]

Asshole hung up on me!!!

Hey JerkFace John Green!! You're a jerk, a real kneebiter! permalink

spot

7:18pm CDT Thursday 27 April 2000

Spot is the coolest cat in the planet. Loyal readers will remember from back in the day that he used to leap four feet from a tree branch to enter my second story bedroom window. That was cool. Though we pulled him away from the outdoors and the tree, Spot has already found an equally cool trick inside the house. And this time, I have pictures.

The stairs from the first floor to the second floor have handrails keeping people from falling into them. The stairs from the second floor to the third floor ascend past the top of these handrails. Below the main handrails, are thin (pencil sized) wires that act kinda like fencing to keep very small people from falling into the stairs.

Spot uses the wires as a ladder to climb to the top rail, and onto the stairs. It's a shortcut so he doesn't have to walk all the way around the stairway. It's also very cool!

Wende saw this trick first, and then Maggie and Molly saw it. Just two days ago I saw him do it for the first time. And today, with camera in hand, I coaxed him to perform this lovely trick again. I snapped 8 shots to start a 24-exposure roll; I hope to use the rest this weekend and get the pics up super soonly!!
