Experts.

By now, anyone who reads this weblog (anyone? Hello?) will recognize the format of a news story link that appears at the top of my email inbox. If you can't picture it, it looks exactly like this:

CNN.com Recently Published/Updated - Experts: Alcohol enemas 'extremely dangerous' - 49 minutes ago

So for those of you whose pros and cons list of getting an alcohol enema was still skewed in favor of going through with the procedure, there's the experts' opinion: it's a bad idea. But was that really a tough decision before CNN published the story? I mean, it's an enema of alcohol. An enema. Of alcohol.

Ramen noodles.

It is probably not a great idea to eat a bunch of ramen noodles late at night, right before you go to bed. But sometimes it just happens, you know? Sometimes it just happens.

Free lunch.

Dan: "You know what I realized today?"
Phyllis: "What?"
Dan: "If you went to the Costco food court around one o'clock on a weekday, you could eat lunch for free!"
Phyllis: "How?"
Dan: "Today, when I was standing in line, I watched like three people throw away half-eaten slices of pizza -"
Phyllis: "That's gross."
Dan: "No, I mean you could just stop them before they threw it away, and ask if you could have it. And they'd be like, 'Sure,' and then there's your free lunch!"
Phyllis: "Do that when you're by yourself."
Dan: "I'm always by myself at lunchtime..."
Phyllis: "I mean don't do that when you're with me."
Dan: "Because of embarrassed?"
Phyllis: "Yep."
Dan: "Okay."

Fun.

Here's another cracking ad that Google decided to plaster at the top of my email inbox:

Write in Paris - www.ParisCafeWriting.com - 1-week, small seminar. In English. Write, eat, jazz. Fun. Beginners OK

Hey, that's just terrible. What did they do, collaborate on the ad over telegram? "In English - stop - write comma eat comma jazz - stop - seriously, we have to pay for the commas?" Congratulations on your awful ad. "Beginners OK" probably because they assign all the beginners who show up the task of writing their next ad. "Hey guys, let's focus. I really want to nail this... oh, what the heck. We're in Paris!!"
