Stuff and Nonsense

Stuff:


What Sort of Hat Are You? I am a Halo.I am a Halo.


I believe I am perfect. Others may not think so, but those others are wrong. What Sort of Hat Are You?


If I were not a Halo, I would be a Translucent Visor:


What Sort of Hat Are You? I am a Translucent Visor.I am a Translucent Visor.


I am something of a gambler, but generally a wise one - I only gamble if I expect to win. A negative aspect of this is that people tend to shy away from playing with me. What Sort of Hat Are You?


Yet oddly, I have a decided weakness for berets.

you are a book called



what
dr. seuss book warped you?


Hee. I can buy that one, except for the telemarketing part.



i have issues. but i also recognise this fact and do what i can to resolve those issues. i may have spent a long time letting those issues control me, but now i'm ready to take the upper hand and wonder about the world around me. i'm getting to be well-balanced, but i'm not quite there yet.

how mad are you?

And for the Nonsense portion of our show, we have a poem from the illustrious MegaHAL!


The palace guards are all i know
this infamous name, so often repeated,
the wretched refuse of your misery

ragdoll livin' in a shoe,
but the silence of my heart
the chocolate chips and nuts.
drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie
sheets.

bake for 70 to 80 minutes or until
dough leaving a 1-inch border and sprinkle with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
a door to fire and rain
through a door that stood wide open
and a horseman fleeing the wood.
all he could do, poor fellow, was choke.

but then a great flat plain;
we must love one another or die.

only a paper cap to wear
to the little grey mouse, she called him custard.

custard the dragon sliding by,
with sorrowful eyes on the catwalk
on the higher side of the native quarters
which we ate.
i came up from behind, but changed my point of view

now i don't know where you are
interconnected by wires, printed circuits, and
planned another day
wrapped in an old crow any day.
thou by the altantic
in between can take it again
i hear the wind brought it back.


And who among us does not know the pathos expressed in this classic short poem?


404: File not found
you who forever elude me.



(With any luck, the Hummingwolf will have a real diary entry on Thursday or Friday. Please stay tuned!)

hm. well i do tend to be a purist, but since i never get anything done that way, i've learned to 'make do w/less' ;)

Y'know, I used to have an origami hat, but it didn't last very long in the rain.

Though I wanted to be The Cat in the Hat, I have to admit that Green Eggs and Ham warped me more... at least, my father used to make green eggs and ham in the mornings, and he warped me more than any cat ever did.

The sad part about that "How Mad Are You?" quiz is that I tried answering all the questions like a sane person and it told me I was 97% mad. Apparently I know nothing about sanity at all.

Tigger's cool (and in 3rd place in my results, with Garfield at number 2 (the lasagna question did me in)). I used to ride on a school bus named Tigger, which probably also helped to warp me as a child.

Sorry the Krispy Kreme donuts were disappointing yesterday. May today be filled with chocolaty goodness to make up for it!

My main hat is actually a black silk puffy hat. People tease me about it but it's really warm in the wintertime.

That 404 error poem is too funny.

Fedoras are cool, though I've never owned one. My main winter hat used to be a warm woollen hat which a catalog claimed was the very same kind the Afghan rebels used when fighting the Soviet occupation (though it was made in Pakistan). Political connections (and somewhat silly looks) aside, that thing was wonderfully warm in winter. I left it on a bus a couple years ago, though, and have replaced it with a less-toasty but still-warm beret, which leaves me looking a bit less like a fashion victim anyway.

I think if I ever make a real website, I'll have to sprinkle MegaHAL comments throughout just to confuse people.
