[Update: Two commenters below pointed out that this may have been intentional, and not an Ignosecond. If anyone can find the original source for the story, leave a comment and we’ll post the linky. The link originally posted is dead.]
She works for RAMCO. Get it?
“Orange County firefighters responded to a call of an elderly woman driving a Mercury Grand Marquis backing into one garage and then driving into another garage across the driveway … in San Juan Capistrano Monday morning. No injuries were reported but one of the structures sustained heavy damage.”
I’m not sure what RAMCO manufactures, but if they make garage doors, this would make sense, drumming up business in a slow economy.

School is back in session, so check these out.
Speaking of Dimensions, I caught myself before I posted a 5th Dimension vid, and decided to post Laura Nyro instead since she wrote several of their hits. Because there are so few decent Laura Nyro videos on the Utoobage, here are three of her songs performed by others, including the 5thD.
Blood Sweat & Tears‘ version of “When I Die” from 1970, live in Japan. (Hope someone can take this semi demagnetized video tape and balance out the sound.)

[FinPeng has had this post sitting around the TR “Almost-Done” file long enough. Back to our credo: “When in doubt, throw it out… there.” I have no idea what he’s talking about, but he’s still a good guy. –Bunk]

Why, you ask? No, you don’t, but I’ll answer myself!
I get weird sometimes. But I won’t let this post get too out of hand. I’m going to focus on one subject and go with it. Therefore, I’m finding a somewhat uncommon noun from this random word generator. And the word is… “funicular.”
What do you know? It’s a railway that’s on an incline. I was on one of them once. I’m not really sure why I liked it, but I thought it was pretty enjoyable.
(Forgot to put in the picture’s source link on the day I put the picture in. Picture no longer where it was on google image search. If you find the source, that’d be awfully helpful.)
And that’s all I’ve got to say on funiculars.
Why did I make this?
Anyway, the link you should follow is this one.

Folks–
It appears that I got the home computer buzzing efficiently, but I’m still tweaking it, installing necessary programs, uploading updates, downloading downdates, and lashing down the loose ends while adjusting the fuel mix and intake valves. We’re almost there. Meanwhile…
Here’s how I got indirectly sucked into blogging. Neatorama posted a link to a joke contest in 2007 that I couldn’t pass up. Anita Bath asked if I’d like to be a guest poster, and after assisting me with posting for an inordinate amount of time, Anita Bath goaded encouraged me to start my own site. Old news.
So here are the short jokes I submitted. Some are very old, some are credited, some are true, and some I made up. Continue reading “Windows Service Pak 3 and stuff…”
The photos in Michael Yon’s blog are amazing, as are his stories posted from Afghanistan. I cropped the image above only for more detail in this post.

VE has been posting parodies of sites on his blogroll, and today is our roasting. More here.
Other news: The computer at TR Headquarters threw a fit over the weekend, and I spent most of Saturday trying every trick in the toolbox, occasionally getting it to boot without crashing, only to have it crash again. No virus detected, and resetting the system worked only temporarily.
Yesterday I took it into the hospital. I’m hoping that it’s nothing worse than a failed power supply.
[Update: The hospital called a while a go. Corrupted sectors on the hard drive. We’re talking reformat city. Crap.]
