It’s been forever since I wrote anything meaningful. Apparently all I needed was to lose a beloved family pet.
This poem will do for now. Eventually I might write some music to go with it. |
| So... what's up? I've had more spam emails in my WDC inbox this month than in the past thirteen years combined! |
| "A Catalogue of Useless Facts"  Day 100: "Pliny the Elder" For our final fact, I looked up the world's oldest encyclopedia. As it turns out -- and purely by accident -- we're going out with a bang. --- And here we are! One hundred days and one hundred facts! I think you'll agree that nothing covered here will have any practical impact in your daily life -- but then, we weren't aiming for practical, were we? The Catalogue will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future, but hopefully I can start up again later this year. The world is a place of infinite facts, so odds are good that some interesting ones are still out there somewhere. In the meantime, thanks for following. Now go enjoy this fascinating world of ours! |
"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 99: "Loofahs" Why am I picturing Cosmo Kramer making a salad? --- As a reminder, tomorrow will be our final fact for this initial run. I tried to pick something substantial -- tune in and tell me how it sounds! |
"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 98: "Barber Poles" Take a half-inch from the top, a quarter-inch from the sideburns, and a half-pint from the cephalic vein. |
"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 97: "Purple Flags" The reason I'm not doing a poem today is 100% because I just did one yesterday. The fact that nothing rhymes with "purple" is totally beside the point. |
| "A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 96: ""Okay"" To promote our new Fact of the Day I am not too embarrassed to say I tried writing a rhyme And ran quite out of time So this limerick's hardly... um... fine? Satisfactory? Adequate? Shoot -- what's a good word that rhymes with "-ay"? --- In case I forgot to mention, the Catalogue will go on hiatus after Day 100. This'll give me time to stock up on new facts, as well as cut back on my daily "Things to Worry About" checklist. So here we go! Day 96 and counting! |
"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 95: "The First TV Show" Is it "NCIS"? Hasn't that show been airing since the dawn of time? |
"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 94: "Ball o' Bees" For some animals, "ballin' it up" has a more sinister connotation. |
| "A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 93: ""Car"" Looks like the Flintstones were really on to something. |
"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Day 92: "The Underwater Waterfall" Because "watersink" doesn't have the same ring, I s'pose. |
