An awesome (albeit obscure) entry from a contest on Fark. The topic was “It seemed like a good idea at the time”.

I laughed pretty hard at this, which annoyed Laralee who’s trying to get to sleep beside me.

(As an aside, almost all toothpastes contain sodium laurel sulfate, which is what makes it foam when you brush. But it deadens your taste buds to citric acid, which is why drinking orange juice after brushing tastes absolutely terrible.)

At Zing we took the afternoon to race go-karts at a nearby track. Loads of fun.

(This isn’t us, but we looked pretty much like this except maybe our overalls weren’t quite as professional.)

I found this awesome family photo:

And now I can’t help but think about how I could get a t-shirt that says

The man. The myth.
The legend.

(Oh, and the rest of the ensemble for Laralee and the kids.)

We ran the Longmont Sunrise Stampede today. It’s only two miles, so we finished in around 20 minutes. No biggie, but still a good time.

And it got me out of bed early– we were finished and I’d showered and dressed for the day by the time I would normally just be rolling out of bed!

Thom sent me a link to some old ads (circa 1930). Apparently people were much more blunt back in the Olden Days…

… and honestly, a little creepy. “Tingling pleasantly all over” indeed.

Fark had a Photoshop contest where they asked people to submit music album covers redesigned as advertisements.

This was far and away my favorite.
