The Basic Laws of Human Stupidy
Words with no English equivalent
there’s die beleidigte Leberwurst spielen – to stick one’s lower lip out in a sulk (literally, to play the insulted liver sausage). Perhaps it’s a Backpfeifengesicht – a face that cries out for a fist in it.
The longest two weeks…
September 28th, 2005… Trying to keep my head at work when I go on vacation two weeks from today. Buying tickets during the recent hurricane/gasoline craziness was certainly interesting and not nearly as affordable as hoped, but we got it done in the end. Glasgow-Edinburgh-London-Dublin, woohoo! Now I have two weeks to talk myself into a new camera for the trip.
Trackback blues
September 27th, 2005Is anyone experiencing a rash of trackback spam? I’ve been started getting 5-10 a day, just out of the blue last week. It finally prodded me into upgrading the WordPress Spam Karma plugin to version 2.0. I’m also wondering if trackbacks are even worth it. So few people use them, so turning it off would solve a big spam problem without really doing too much harm.

More Missouri town names
September 15th, 2005Toastedcone has more Missouri town names, many that I didn’t have in my list. I also forgot to mention what is probably my favorite, three towns in northwestern Lafayette County that go by the names Wellington, Napolean, and Waterloo (although Waterloo doesn’t really exist anymore).
