Here Today...Gone to Hell


Dancing Here Posted by Hello

Dear Diary,

So, today's itty-bitty ration of wholesome weirdness is - the obvious-est answer to the "most visited website" on the www is.......NOT obvious. All but.

Admist well poised and finely calculated guesses of Google, Microsoft, Blogshares and the NYSE, "Mikes basement" and reproachably "Man-land" - none figure in the "most visited website" aka "the clickiest link".
Thence arose palpable confusion and mayhem this afternoon in what would seem a vibrantly geeky conversation about popular web surfing ideals. In the lab.

~Mentioning the sacred three letter word ("LAB")
a) could not be avoided and
b) brings more to this entry than just a glimmer of lasting geekiness, it brings authenticity of nerdiness to be had and exprienced.
Nerdiness like non-anon.~

Would you care a gander? (not of the geese variety) Wager a likely candidate for the likeliest link?
Go at it, it's so bobo, it's bobo.
Cicadacentral.com? NOPE - too seasonal, every 17th Spring. Playboybunny.com maybe? Na-uh, too sexist.

The answer (in)apparent seems to be (insert drum-roll HERE) "Weight Watchers".
"!!!!!!!"

Ho-hum, thrilling, absolutely.
Yeah, so I wasn't impressed either.
I spoz it's weird that as a nation we tend to obsess about the same trite things. Uncanny.
Weight is an agenda on almost every-body's list. Any kind of list too.

“New Year’s resolution list” –
1) Do laundry
2) Lose jiggly arms
3) Be a social drinker, not a badload.
4) Lose more weight at other jiggly spots.

“Grocery List” –
1) Tomatoes
2) Potatoes
3) Lose love handles
4) Noodle soup

“Timmy’s Summer Camp essentials”
1) Sleeping bag
2) Roll on mosquito spray
3) Lose extra tummy flab
4) 10 pairs of socks

See what I mean?
Weight is - supposably a tackle-able issue.
Is omniscient in that capacity.

National interest, integrity and security? Who? Wha?

Personally I appreciate a person with some swank cellulite. It’s an appreciable quality.
Humans need fat. God made us so.
Crikey! There are that many of us unwilling to risk being the weight we are?
Those beauty magazines sure know how to ply themselves. Scarry.

Promotes shell-diggery and hidery, I’d say. Sad outcome is, you'll never know if the person working in the cubicle next to you is a banana-craver. Shucks to that. One needs to know other banana-cravers.
They're precious few.

Where'd all the bull about getting to know your neighbour go, I ask you?
Bull heaven, Bill says, perhaps truly.

More to come.......
