I realized today when going through some photos for my Mom, that I have only posted a few of our wedding photos. Granted I’m now almost a year late, timeliness is apparently lacking here.
Here is our awesome mad hatter cake:
Rebekah’s bouquet with our wedding rings:
“YOU GET ADDITIONAL RANDOM MISPRINTS -WOOT”
shirt.woot.com sells a shirt a day for $10, occasionally they sell a random shirt for $6.66 (3 for $20). I bought 3 of the random shirts, and this is what greeted me when I got the package. I got my original 3 shirts plus 38 additional "misprints", most are in great shape.
I recently posted a few items on craigslist, to one I get this response.
Let me know if the item is still available,and why you want to sell it?
I responded back thinking it was a legitimate request. Then comes this response.
Hello,
Thank you for the prompt response to my inquiry.I am very much satisfied with the condition and price of the item and i will like to make an outright purchase immediately,so i will advice that you withdraw the ad from the web. Pls i will like to know how you intend to proceed on this but i would prefer that i issue a certified check in US dollars to your location and upon the confirmation and clearance of payment my shipper will come for the pick-up at your location.I would really have loved to come for the viewing of the item buti am not chanced but my movers will. If you are okay with this please do get back to me with the following details so i can make out the payment IMMEDIATELY.
1: Your Full Name to be on the payment
2: Your Address and post code
3: Your mobile and land number.
I will expect your Mail ASAP.
Thanks.
To which of course I had to respond with:
Thanks for your generous offer. Since I’ve had so many requests for this item I’ve decided to raise the price to $600, which I still think is a steal given that these are going for $15,000 on the street.
I prefer a briefcase filled with cash, unmarked $20 bills is preferred, your shipper can kindly swap me for the projector when you accept this deal IMMEDIATELY.
Eric
No response yet, but I’ll keep you updated. This pales in comparison to what is posted on 419eater.com (especially getting a would be scammer to get a tattoo).
Since it’s been awhile since I posted disgusting food, make sure you’re not eating, and then continue.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_marzu
Casu marzu (also called casu modde, casu cundhídu, or in Italian formaggio marcio) is a cheese found in Sardinia, Italy, notable for being riddled with live insect larvae. Casu marzu means “rotten cheese” in Sardinian and is known colloquially as maggot cheese.
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about running, and now you’ll get a two for one.
Last Saturday I ran the St. Patrick’s Day 10k. Last year we got a bunch of people to do it, including a few people from out of town. This year pretty much everyone backed out, including the organizer, although Natalie and Mary still ran it with me. Pretty uneventful, although since I really haven’t been running many miles per week, it definitely felt like a long ways. I improved about a minute over last years time, was really hoping for about 2-3 minutes, but that’s what happens when you don’t train.
We got these awesome medals, and of course the standard t-shirt. You really only have one day to wear these items, so I made full use of it.
You might have seen me talking about minimalist running in some of my comments on here, and I’ve been wearing my Nike Free 5.0’s (with the 4.5 inserts) on all my runs. I’ve been wanting to go barefoot, but it’s really quite dangerous (glass, debris, people staring at you). Fortunately there is a company that produces a perfect product. I would have purchased them before, but I’ve been waiting on this version for 3-4 months now.
The Vibram Five Finger KSO’s:
Basically it’s a thin elasticy upper, with a thin conforming rubber sole to prevent you from damaging your foot. Took them out for just over a mile run (takes awhile to build up), and it feels almost exactly like barefoot running, just without the freezing feet at the end. There is a lot of reasoning, and write-up’s on the shoe that has already been done by people much smarterthan myself .
