Top of the Food Chain

Top of the Food Chain

If you think fats and oils are at the top of the food chain, you deserve at least partial credit for a correct answer. But bacteria breaks down oil in this rock-paper-scissors game we call Life.

For the first half of geological time, our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria.
Quotation from Richard Dawkins

Salad bars are like a restaurant’s lungs. They soak up the impurities and bacteria in the environment, leaving you with much cleaner air to enjoy.
Quotation from Doug Coupland

If you don’t change, then what’s the point of anything happening to you?
Another quotation from Doug Coupland

The Courtship Ceremony

The Courtship Ceremony

Face it: Wooing is out, Woo Woo is in. Courtship in America ended somewhere between the time the television shows The Brady Bunch and The Love Boat were cancelled.

One good idea would be to invite the Pisces lady to your home to show her your aquarium. You should start your seduction process when she is engrossed in seeing fishes in your aquarium. Give her a kiss on the shoulders and this will automatically lead her to your bedroom.
Quotation from “Seduction by Sun Signs” (TheSecretsofSeduction.com)

A tall well-built woman with good
reputation, who can cook frogs
legs, who appreciates a good fuc-
schia garden, classical music and tal-
king without getting too serious.
But please only read lines 1, 3 and 5.
Quotation from a Personal Ad (DateHookup.com)

The Sick Olympics

The Sick Olympics

Yay, after a week, bronchitis is no longer contagious. In theory. But if I were you. I’d stay as far away from me as possible.

Ninety-nine per cent of the people in the world are fools and the rest of us are in great danger of contagion.
Quotation from Thornton Wilder

So many journeys may the sun and moon
Make us again count o’er ere love be done!
But, woe is me, you are so sick of late,
So far from cheer and from your former state,
That I distrust you. Yet, though I distrust,
Discomfort you, my lord, it nothing must:
For women’s fear and love holds quantity;
In neither aught, or in extremity.
Quotation from Wm. Shakespeare, Hamlet

Do Beautiful People know what Beauty really is?

Do Beautiful People know what Beauty really is?

A dating website called Beautiful People only accepts new members by a popular vote of its existing members. In the past month, its members rejected almost two million hopefuls who had posted online photos of themselves. Their verdict? Swedish men and Norwegian women are the most beautiful in the world (with 76% of them accepted). Brazilians also scored high. Meanwhile, Britons are considered among the ugliest in the world, along with Russian and Polish men. The Germans also didn’t poll very well (only 14% were accepted).

Beauty stands
In the admiration only of weak minds
Led captive.
Poem from John Milton, Paradise Regained

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
Poem from John Keats, Endymion

To lose all my senses, that’s so typically me

To lose all my senses, that’s so typically me

Trust involves risk, and is always dangerous. Depending on others leaves you vulnerable. But defensively assuming the worst in people will only bring out the worst in them. You have to be an optimist to trust someone.

I think my problem is this
I’m dreaming away
I wonder if heroes truly exist
I cry, watching the day
I’m a fool in so many ways
But to lose all my senses
That ‘s just so typically me
Lyric from Britney Spears, Oops! I Did It Again
(Vocalist Laura Tsaggaris offers a great cover of this song as a free download on her website.)

I have great faith in fools- my friends call it self-confidence.
Quotation from Edgar Allan Poe

The Dark Tunnel of Obsession

The Dark Tunnel of Obsession

Normal Mailer said “Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer.” I think with a good obsession, you don’t expect an answer.
What’s your obsession?

The Runaway Runway Bag

This happened of a friend of mine. She loaded her groceries,
then drove off with her handbag still on top of the car.
Which begs the question: What did her bag say about her?

In fashion it’s good not to have too many principles.
Quotation from Ines De La Fressange

Never offend people with style when
you can offend them with substance.
Quotation from Tony Brown

p.s. I’m away for a few days.
