Ha—made you look! This isn’t really a new post. I’m still not here. But I did put up a form on the hiatus post so you can receive an email if and when this blog returns. It was buried on the other page, so I thought I’d put it here too. Because I’m that way.

And because I am also lazy, I’m pasting the same message here too:

I have a sign up thingy with Bloglet now, but I don’t know how annoying it will be for you. I think it’s designed to send you an email every day to let you know if I have updated, but, personally, I think it would make me crazy after a while to keep hearing, “Nothing yet! Thanks for opening this worthless email!”

I will keep looking around for a better tool. You’re welcome to sign up in the meantime, and I’ll bring you with me if I find something more apropriate!

either leave your answers or a link to your webpage with your responses.

Would you rather:
1. while visiting new york city, fall from the 4th floor of a building OR get hit by a bicycle messenger?
I’ll take the messenger, thanks. (“Oh yeah? You should see the other guy!”)
2. kiss somebody with severe chapped lips OR eat lunch next to somebody picking a scab on their arm?
Scab, please. I can stomach nearly anything, but if I choose to do some kissin’, I prefer it to be fun!
3. live next door to a registered sex offender OR a recently released murderer?
Somehow, I am way more comfortable with the murderer. At least that sort of recidivism is readily detectable! It would freak me out to have to constantly worry and wonder if there was ever a moment when I was not protecting my children well enough.
4. always talk like your nose is stuffed up OR talk with a lisp?
I think I would rather sound nasal. People might be annoyed, but I have a feeling that a lisp might inspire disdain in addition to annoyance.

Also, “zork.”

A farmer had five female pigs, and, as times were hard, he had decided to take them to the county fair and sell them. While at the fair, he met another farmer who owned five male pigs.

After talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50.

The farmers lived sixty miles away from one another and so they agreed to drive thirty miles and find a field in which to mate their pigs.

The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5 AM. loaded the pigs into the family station wagon, which was the only vehicle they had, and drove the thirty miles.

While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer, “How will I know if they are pregnant?”

The other farmer replied, “If they’re in the grass grazing in the morning, then they’re pregnant; if they’re in the mud, then they’re not.”

The next morning they were rolling in the mud, so he hosed them off, loaded them again into the family station wagon and proceeded to try again.

This continued each morning the following week until one morning the farmer was so tired that he couldn’t get out of bed.

He called to his wife, “Honey, please look outside and tell me if the pigs are in the mud or in the field.”
