wow!

Just wanted to put in a plug for AdSense here. In the last 12 days, I've made over $5 from it, which is frankly more than I expected! Those of you who are wondering how to make a little bit of extra change without any real work, click the Adsense link on the left and sign up! The upkeep is minimal, and in the end it comes out to free money!

Comic still coming, check back soon!

You can sell some people anything



I have found that not having a TV saves me a good deal of time in dealing with telemarketers, since about 50% of them seem to be selling either DirecTV or cable something or other. I remember one such conversation especially:

Me: "Hello?"
TM: "Hello, I'm calling from [some tv service] and I'd like to offer you-"
Me: "We don't have a TV."
[pause]
TM: "When do you plan on purchasing a television?"
Me: "Probably never."
[pause]
TM: "Okay, we'll call you back at that time."

Come to think of it, that was the last time I answered a TM call. Hmm...

A better price is not always a better deal



O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You're slowly turning brown.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your needles fall on the ground.

You used to stand so proud and tall,
But now you're propped against the wall;
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You're slowly turning brown.
