Streandering Meams

Well, I finally did it, I went and got me a blog:

Streandering Meams
http://streanderingmeams.blogspot.com/

This way I won't bother some people with trivia e-mail where I send to
everyone via a BCC. (I am *hurt* that my hard culled links on Star
Wars were viewed as spam by some, although notably I haven't heard
that from anyone who is *male*.) This seems like the best of all
possible worlds: I can capture my internet rambles in a place where I
can access them, but I don't feel as pathetic a loser as when I e-mail
myself so as not to forget. Plus, it's like I'm giving back to the
internet!

Whenever (if ever) you wish, you can pop over to the blog to see what
trivia has been distracting me recently. There is an RSS feed for the
page, and you can always keep track of me that way.

Of course, I still send e-mail, but now I won't send out any generic
e-mails with MCI marketing salutations, e.g., "Dear Friends or Family
Members or both...."

I might even post old e-mail musings, so that it will seem like a
touch of the good old days at times, you know, like when we would all
share a Star Wars moment together....

G'night y'all,

The above e-mail was sent to a large number of friends and family. There were a few responses, some of which I'll anonymize and post below. This is to partly encourage my e-mail correspondents to start using the blog to respond to my trivial correspondence :-)

All the hyperlinking was done by me, BTW.

I am so happy you have a blog. That is wonderful. You won't feel intimidated by the blogosphere, will you?

Intimidated? Me? No, the only people who know of my little corner of the blogosphere are all family and friends who are caring and supportive.

Geek alert! Geek alert! I'm sure Dan Rather is shaking in his boots. I'll just add this link to my favorites right now; right next to Will Wheaton and Adam Curry in a folder called Nerds! If you start writing anti-microsoft entries in your blog that go on for days and days, I'm having an intervention. What do you mean, giving back to the internet? That's what porn sites are for! Umm... I'm running out of ideas here.... Okay, last one - this is a great blog... For me to poop on! Congrats!

Are you trying to intimidate me? Are you trying to intimidate me? Are you ... trying ... to intimidate me? I don't see nobody else posting on this blog. You must be trying to intimidate me. Or maybe ... you are trying to intimate that I am not cool ... you certainly are trying to imitate something, however.

But I am cool, man

How do you know when a person watching Star Wars is a Lutheran?

Ah! I see you are about to accuse me of a lack of introspection here.... I don't know, how do you know when a person watching Star Wars is a Lutheran?

After "may the force be with you," they say "and also with you." (an oldie but goodie!)

Ich bin ein belly laugher

Cool dude! Although I thought the word was "memes."

It still is! In my humble opinion, spoonerisms are better served by preserving the misspelling so as to jolt the mind into an aural interpretation, hence my prefacing the allusion by "resonates with".
