Let Me Google That For You

From the site:

For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than Google it for themselves.



Ever get annoyed by someone asking a question and you KNOW they are smart enough to do a search for it on their own?  You know they're only doing it to:  a. make you waste your time, b. pick apart the information at the link or c. impeach the source.

Instead, make THEM do the work and have a laugh at them at the same time.  Make THEM waste their time and then you can pick apart the information or impeach the source...or better yet, ignore them after leaving the link.

Just input the search terms, then you'll be given a link to leave for the troll (or lazy butt) so he/she can do their own research.

(one of the best replies I ever saw on a msg. board was someone asking where another poster got their information.  "Look it up yourself." he said. "I'm not your link whore.")

Try it out!

Dazzling Adorable Doofus

Your Dazzle Makes You Adorable

The face you present to the world is charming and alluring. You are simply a fun person to be around.

Whenever you can, you're ready to lighten the mood with a joke or an anecdote. You're a natural storyteller.

On the inside, you feel less dazzling and more ordinary. You can't see how attractive you are to the outside world.


You are a very genuine person, and you can't even imagine trying to charm others. You just do it naturally.

Your friends love your dazzle because... well, who doesn't love dazzle? You're just one of those charismatic types everyone loves.


The true secret is that you make others feel like they're the center of your attention. You know how to make everyone feel good. 



Clumsy Clouseau of Collectors

Did you know the day before he was to sell the Picasso painting Le RĂªve (The Dream) for $139 million, Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn accidentally poked a hole in it with his elbow?




Wynn refers to himself now as the "Clouseau of Collectors", a reference to the clumsy detective in the The Pink Panther movies.

gopher

gopher go·pher \GOH-fer\ , verb:

1. Mining. a. to mine unsystematically.
b. to enlarge a hole, as in loose soil, with successively larger blasts.

noun:

1. any of several ground squirrels of the genus Citellus, of the prairie regions of North America.
2. pocket gopher.
3. gopher tortoise.
4. gopher snake.
5. (initial capital letter) a native or inhabitant of Minnesota (used as a nickname).
6. (initial capital letter) Computers.
a. a protocol for a menu-based system of accessing documents on the Internet.
b. any program that implements this protocol

When I hear or see the word "gopher", I think of two movies. The first is Urban Cowboy where Bud - played by John Travolta - gets a job at the refinery and the man who hires him says he'll be a gopher and sarcastically asks him if he knows what a gopher is. Travolta says he figures it's someone who goes for things, then tries to make a joke about him being a small furry animal. The man is not amused and tells Travolta that around there, they were about the same.

That's a funny scene in that movie, but it's not nearly as funny as this one from Caddyshack.
