So my dear Mr.Phi downloaded this album below last nite and it definitely took me back.  I used to listen to nothing but Weezer and Ben Folds Five.  Plus I loved Nintendo.  Especially Legend of Zelda!  We even played Legend of Zelda music as for our exit procession at our wedding cause we couldn’t think of anything better lol.

Speaking of Nintendo, when were little my Dad started hogging it to beat the last level in the original Super Mario Brothers.  This was before we even knew about Time Warp. (Seriously needed the  Nintendo Strategy Guide!)  I would act like an oracle sitting on our plaid couch with my bag of Fritos & cheese dip.   Trying to will him to beat it with my mental powers.  I wish I had insane vids of this, so heres another kind for you

And oh my gawd, I totally forgot about the show “Video Power“!!! I was in love with the Tomato Character on it.

Today Amazon bought Zappos.  This is a big deal in the .com world coz Amazon paid bucu bucks for them.

Anyway, The Wall Street Journal posted the following letter from Zappos CEO to their staff:

http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/07/22/zappos-ceos-letter-to-staff/

There were 3 excerpts that I found highly amusing:

#1.)  Please set aside 20 minutes to carefully read this entire email.

[Evelyn] lol.  i wish i had the luxury to demand people do this.  eh, i guess when you’re a CEO…

#2.)  Q: Will we get a discount at Amazon?

No, because we are planning on continuing to run Zappos as a separate company with our own culture and core values. And we’re not going to be giving the Zappos discount to Amazon employees either, unless they bake us cookies and deliver them in person.

[Evelyn] Um so like, this is pretty much PPP Hour’s policy towards everything.  What?  You want us to do something?  Cookies!  Gimme!  Nao!

#3.) Q: Can you please stop?

okthxbye

[Evelyn] To Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh:  I appreciate your brand of humor!  :D  That is, if this email was even real.  If it wasn’t, I was still highly entertained by whoever wrote it.

So as I was walking home from my studio I started reminiscing about my dollhouse.  And how I replaced the dolls in it with Dinosaurs.  Then I was trying to remember if I still kept one doll and 1 dinosaur to be the husband and wife.  And then I laughed at the thought of them having intercourse.  From there, I started thinking about Dinosaurs and wondering if their peens were HUGEEEE?!

So of course I googled this when I got home and found a great article on DINOSAUR SEX!

It asks all the questions I didn’t even know I was curious about like…“How did spiny stegosaurs mate without stabbing each other to death? And where did Tyranosaurus rex stow his crown jewels - or did he let it all hang out?”

And now I’m on the hunt for the “series of drawings of dinosaurs in different mating positions, including in water, by the late British palaeontologist L. Beverly Halstead(also know as L B Halstead), who believed all dinosaurs used pretty much the same mating position: “Mounting from the rear.” Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any of these gems online and my local library doesn’t seem to contain them.  Please someone buy all books written by him and find them and post them. Thank you!

And heres a lil bit of BBC DinoPron cause I know thats the next step….ENJOY!(For some reason, Youtube’s embed was not working. Must be super NSFW!!)

Ahhhh yes this takes me back.  I had one of these back when I was a young gal.  I remember bouncing on it and a kid came up to me & wanted to try it.  He offered me a stick of gum to try, which of couse I knew was definitely lingo for drugs!!(I had been attending D.A.R.E. meetings at school.  Free Entemann’s Chocolate Chip Cookies FTW!)  I told him “NO WAY, JOSE”(and his name wasn’t even Jose) and pogo-ed on out of there.   But did I pogo, lolo, or discoed on out…now I’m not sure…there were actually so many different versions

I find this very confusing but from what I can understand from Wiki, it looks like several people wanted to make the same product, but used different names.  Which I find hilarious.  Because if you are manufacturing the Pogo Ball and someone is like “hey! check out my pogo bal! So much better than your pogo BALL! ”  Thats just insane.

But now I miss it, I wonder if its somewhere in my parent’s attic?  I think I may go get it or maybe I’ll get the old mini trampoline my mom got during the 1980s rebounder workout phase.  Basically I feel like Bouncin’!!
