Things that sound dirty, but are not: Part 4.
(By special guest poster Cato T. Pultey.) Thanks, Paul. I appreciate the chance to appear in your blog. [Happy to have you. Ed.] I ran across this article while looking for a mojito recipe: “Here’s Why Bartenders Spank Your Mint” and thought, “Golly that sounds dirty.” [Do people really say, “Golly?” Ed.] So I read… Continue reading Things that sound dirty, but are not: Part 4.
I learned a new word: Voluntelling
I don’t think the word “voluntelling” existed when I took the SATs back in the dark ages before the internet, but when I heard it the other day, it made immediate sense.

Moth balls. Moth balls. If your thoughts immediately went to the picture on the left, and you wondered if moth’s have balls, you have a dirty mind. If you care about the answer, here is a wikipedia entry that may or may not answer your questions. If your thoughts went to naphthelene or even 1,4-dichlorobenzene… Continue reading Things that sound dirty, but are not. Part 1.
A good rainy day activity…
…patching the firmware on the rowing machine! It doesn’t take a lot some days, but I was excited to patch the firmware on our rowing machine. It really could not be any easier. Run a USB printer cable to the back of the display, run the app, and sit and wait. I don’t think this… Continue reading A good rainy day activity…
Real Name Generator
My latest iPhone app “Real Name Generator” just went live here. When you need a pseudonym for a coffee order or to put your name in a queue, use this. You could be “Carey Oakey” or “Frank Furter.” Is it silly? Absolutely. Is it goofy. Yes. Is it just plain dumb fun? Well, yes, and… Continue reading Real Name Generator
