the 3rd triennial friday shout-outs!

HAPPY POWER-TOOLS-ARE-FOR-ME! shout-out to: my health insurance plan! as of 1 december, 2006, i will (again) be insured for basic health and dental coverage! now where was that fork and outlet i was going to play with?

happy go-for-the-gold! shout-out to the triple-t of jersey city! he knows... he knows... and to think his dominance began with street fighter II...

happy thanks-for-wasting-my-thursday! shoutout to the sublime stacy h. of washington, dc! in case you haven't seen it yet, do a search for the "new 7 wonders of the world" and get your vote in. of course, though i had a grand time deciding between the eiffel tower (had to be one of your seven, stacy!) and the great wall, i was wondering why not do a "modern 7 wonders" and a "pre-1800 7 wonders!" so that you can get technological marvels like the eiffel towers and feats of human ingenuity for stuff like the alhambra in spain. of course, why monumental works like the great wall or the pyramids that were basically done on the backs of slaves should be included is beyound me. first nomination for a modern wonder: versailles.
