PSA: Don’t Drink and Text
4 Comments Published by Gail February 9th, 2008 in Randomage, Tales of the AbsurdView Bigger
It’s been a few months since my last random wayward text message. This one was FOUR PAGES LONG! (I had to paste the orphan line at the bottom to get each page in one shot.) She refused to believe I wasn’t the guy she thought she was SMS’ing.

People Will Google* Anything
1 Comment Published by Gail January 30th, 2008 in Tales of the Absurd, gailatlarge.comI was talking to a friend last night about Googling, and the conversation reminded me that I have this little cache of odd screen captures from one of my webstats programs. Here’s a gem from Pennsylvania a couple of weeks ago:

Maybe I can bring home a trophy elf? I showed this page to some people the last couple of days, and now it’s a running joke.
This latest edition of Lonely Planet Iceland just came out last [...]
On my way home from work, I saw a giant queue on the north side of Queen Street across from MuchMusic. Curious, I followed it to the entrance to the market lane… which led me to the entrance of Ben & Jerry’s, currently hosting a “Free Ice Cream Cone Day”. That explains it. Or not, [...]
In Case You’ve Run Out of Gift Ideas, I Have a Few…
8 Comments Published by Gail December 5th, 2006 in Tales of the Absurd, cameraphoneThe perfect stocking stuffer for the Crazy Cat Lady in your life. I’m sure everyone knows one or two. That might even be me someday.
Irony in Lake Ariel
3 Comments Published by Gail April 19th, 2006 in Local Colour, Tales of the AbsurdI was looking for that photo I mentioned in the previous post, the first one I took of David, and I found this.
It’s a shot I took back in October 2004, the weekend we met. We were on our way to Cherry Ridge to take out the Tri-Pacer, and Lake Ariel is one of the [...]
For Socar: More Katamari Damacy
2 Comments Published by Gail April 18th, 2006 in Linkage, Other Photogs, Tales of the AbsurdI just saw this on BoingBoing, and immediately thought of Socar:
Footracers in San Fran will push a Katamari Damacy ball
For illustrative purposes, I checked Flickr for Katamari Damacy tags, then interestingness. See here.
