Can vegetarians eat Goldfish ?
Eric: Can vegetarians eat Goldfish ?This is just a snippet of a chat between me and a colleague that happened today. It made me laugh.
Kelly: haha!
Kelly: or is that a real question?
Kelly: :-)
Eric: I know vegans can't
Kelly: probably they can. You know, unless they are morally opposed to eating animal shaped food
Eric: Right, and that would be a weird rule to have.
Kelly: it seemed like a one liner joke
Eric: It was
Kelly: "No, I'm sorry, I can't eat animal crackers or Goldfish"
Kelly: "I'm a ______________" What would they be called?
Eric: Jackass
Kelly: hahah1!!!
Eric: Vegetearnium
Kelly: ooo, i like that!
Kelly: cross between vegetarian and terrarium
Eric: Exactly
Kelly: a vegeterrarium
Kelly: I'm gonna start telling people that. "Hi, my name is Kelly and I'm a vegeterrarium."
Eric: And wait for the question...
Kelly: when they say what is that, I can say "I don't eat anything shaped like an animal!"
Kelly: damn, we should be comedy writers for someone funny's show!
Eric: With your permission, the entire exchange is going on my blog.
Kelly: please do. We need to get the word out!

50 Free MP3's
Start downloading your FREE MP3s today and take two weeks to decide if you like eMusic. If you're not 100% satisfied simply cancel before your trial period ends and you'll never pay a dime. Keep the 50 FREE MP3s as a gift just for checking out eMusic
Amy and I both joined emusic and downloaded a number of MP3's during our trial membership. She and I both decided to cancel our membership because there just weren't enough songs and artists that we were interested in. Try it out for yourself, and you'll at least get the 50 free songs. Actually, you aren't limited to 50 songs, be sure and look for free songs, which don't count toward the 50.

Teardrop Trailer Project
I just found Tom Swenson's Teardrop Trailer Project. He built a Teardrop style travel trailer using plans fron Kuffel Creek Press. He also mentioned an entire community support forum.
This really looks like a good way to turn some sweat and $2000 into an RV, which could be pulled behind almost any vehicle.

JB and Sandy still can't park
You may remember that I mentioned JB & Sandy's inability to park last summer. Well, I've got some good news and some bad news:
The bad news is that they still can't park.
The good news is that they are only on the radio five hours a day (Last year, it was seven!)
