Which, about yesterday, regrets, apologies, gomen nasai. Nothing could be done, at least not from my end. My hosting service having suffered summat of a meltdown due to an auto-update script that went profoundly wrong. Whole constellations of sites having taken a hit, including several whose owners make an actual living off them. Which, at least we don’t concern ourselves about that here.

I played golf, as many of you might have suspected and few will be interested to learn.

Also! I am aware that one of the advertisements currently running at top and right does not match the general flavor of the theme nor tenor of the house. There have been objections. To which it’s my sad duty to reply that I have often times turned away that particular stream of revenue, but in this case he got through the barricades while I wasn’t paying attention and now we’re stuck with it for a week. If thine eye offend thee, etc. And maybe place a bit of electrical tape over that part of your monitor, being careful not to move the windows around all regardless.

    No worries Cap….figured the OBOTS took you offline and were intent on sweating some intel out of you seeing as you fly the Kfir with an intent to make fools outta our Flyboys and such.

    It was either that or the sun storms knocking things akilter….maybe the Aliens grabbed you up.

    The Sunday between last Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday is quiet and allows most of us to pry ourselves away from Sunday sporting events…New England should prevail and take possession of the Lombardi Trophy.

    Glad that the weather in New England has been more like April than January which suits us just fine…bring on Spring and all the outdoor activities that it allows.

  • Patriots all the way, SK1. As to the weather it has been beyond strange this year. That’s not necessarily a complaint, although the girly-girl here is mighty peeved at the expense incurred for 2 luxury sweaters which I can’t wear in this strange weather.

    Which, I’m sure no one here cares. And that’s OK.

    As for the ads, I did wonder about the last one I saw wherein a shapely woman was wearing – body paint. A tad, um, unexpected in there-here-parts. However I’m thinking that many of you don’t find it all that horrible a greeting.

    Just sayin’. :-)

      Sorry about the sweaters….maybe see if they will take them back in exchange for a couple of nice sun dresses.

      PATRIOTS all the way for sure…..

      The ads…I understand that there are ads but having trouble moving past the ” attention getters “…then again, I’m all about using the mute button on TV when an ad comes on so this is not too much different.

      Then again, we are MEN and when it comes right down to it,the country song that says, ” We ain’t wrong, we ain’t sorry and sure will happen again….That’s the truth about Men.” sums it up pretty well.

  • aero-bracero

    Just want to see the ad and then maybe her address….

  • Comjam

    There are ads?!?

  • Peterk

    well since I use adblocker I don’t see those ads

  • pdxjim

    It looked like the weather was quite nice in Sandy Eggo for the golf tournament. I was surfing and saw the leader hit his nice drive on the 18th with 3 stroke lead. That’s over. Went down to workout and saw on tv that they were doing some sort of weird measuring on the green. Asked guy what that was about and he told me about the MELTDOWN. Wow. Poor guy.

    I am still wondering/concerned about the 3 foods never to eat!!

    • Quartermaster

      I can’t tell what 3 foods to eat as the eye strain from trying to suss out what I’m not supposed to eat has kept from sussing them out. I don’t see them listed anywhere in that picture no matter how hard I’ve tried to see them.

    • Bou

      Dang. I was hoping one of you had clicked on it. I’m not particularly interested in the chicks, always kind of hoping a smokin’ hot guy will appear (never does), but I am really curious about those three foods. Whenever I see the chicks in bikinis, my first thought is “I never looked like that, even when I was young” and my second thought is, “Do they eat?” Maybe you just gotta be over 5’2″ to look like that…

  • flatlander

    You have to be kidding. I thought you were generally IN FAVOR of the first amendment. And more importantly, well configured body paint.

  • SteveC

    Love the body paint ad and am thinking of going on that kind of diet so long as it involves ingestion of paint. :) Beats the heck outta photos on the frig for incentive. PS: Suggest less paint next time. Just a thought.

  • 77

    Mobile theme is free from ads, but also loses the blogroll which is helpful on light content days.

  • I seem to have missed the ads with the body paint but the lovely lady in the brown swimsuit seems to be obsessed with me. She’s always there looking for me in the distance. Lex, would you let her know where to find me? Thanks.

  • Snake Eater

    …clearly a not so subtle vaguely obscene/lewd use of irony…whats not to like? Best

  • RonF

    There’s a new one in a yellow bodysuit that is unzipped for quite a distance that I’m looking forward to seeing again.

  • Pumaking

    Daryle,

    You are surely mistaken, it is clear that the young lady in the brown swimsuit has eyes only for me…I am positive….reasonably…I think

  • Spencer

    If thine eye offend thee, etc. And maybe place a bit of electrical tape over that part of your monitor…

    OMG did I laugh out loud at that… :)

    I have noticed the sporty adverts and being a scholar of desktop realestate, noted the way my eye was attracted to that corner of the screen. For those who study such things, internet revenue adverts are designed to catch the eye and then have the look turn into action…a click, or better, a call. Some advertisers pay based on how many times someone actually clicks on the advert a “pay per click” fee. Buyers and sellers determine the market value of a click (is it the Super Bowl or a bowling league). Free market forces are alive and well on the internet. I remember paying as much as $2.80/click for having the highest ranking available when a specific “keyword” was searched on Google and the search results ended up getting a customer to click on the link and go to our site. We paid more to have our name appear first in a Google Search. Google it….

    I was not offended and enjoyed the scenery.

  • Pogue

    Odd how those “secret of loosing weight” adds apparently don’t consider the addition of saline a weight increase…

  • Opus29

    Piece of black tape got me to remembering the Lexus mechanic who told SWMBO that a piece of black tape was cheaper than having him chase down a “low tire” warning light on the dash.

  • ….umm does anyone know how to remove duct tape from a screen?

  • Curtis

    You guys got any idea what Lex is raving about ad wise? I’m not seeing it.

  • Byron

    Uh…my eyes are kind of old and weak..and can you make the ads bigger?
