KLEM FM


It's my my second favorite Who song off my second favorite Who album, but who's counting? I must admit that I've always been a little bothered by Pete Townshend's misuse of to lie/lay, but hey, Bob Dylan did the same on "Tangled Up In Blue" and he was a lyrical genius, right?

I've been notified we broke the $100.00 AdSense ceiling.

Well, it's not much of a ceiling, really, it's an imaginary ceiling, as far as ceilings feelings. But since 'ceilings' are de rigueur these days I thought I would oblige.

I will concede to amateurism, but, fashionable amateurism, if there is such a thing.

Speaking of amateurism... I messed up the AdSense form and it wouldn't let me fix it. I had to read up on the help section. what a nightmare. AdSense does not offer live desk help. It turns out I had to fill out a dummy temp one, so I then could go back and delete the one I messed up.

It's all good now.

Sorry sorry, I didn't mean to stutter in my my post.

That's great news, Lem -- I wish you well.

I am close to commercializing a couple of "faking bad" products with a tentative offer to make around 70 of them to a retailer. I stay busy with R&D for some new ideas.

It would be so sweet to be paid for creativity -- that's a goal of mine.

Thank you Chickl.

Althouse took a picture of an anti violence billboard campaign while the car was moving at what must have been an interstate rate of speed... I'm not criticizing it.

What I 'am doing instead is picturing Althouse with her phone/camera in hand ready to shoot at a moments notice.

Feculence? Is that a real word?

Chick, what do you charge for a fake margarita? Ever since I saw yours I've envisaged offering a tray of margaritas at a party with one fake on the tray. The person that picks it would keep it as a door prize. Hee, I'm an entertainment genius.

fec·u·lent

It is real and it is apt.

deborah said...

Thanks, I figured it was. I was just conversatin'.

The Dude said...

LOL! Dialoging, as it were...

deborah said...

Yeah, the Althouse thing is bizarre. A few weeks back it gelled and I got what the problem was; a tenured professor at a prestigious university behaving like a bratty little sister. So unseemly, so undignified. Oh, well. I put it down to innate personality combined with birth order. I think she'd be a whole 'nother person if she were first-born.

deborah said...

Diavlogging would be fun, I think :)

The Dude said...

Look! Up in the skype! It's a bird, it's a plain, it's stuporman!

deborah said...

Skype? Only did it once. My daughter wanted me to 'meet' her then boyfriend.

Oh and another time I talked to my sister and her husband briefly from their cell phone to their son's. Before I came in the room I heard their voices and it was so crystal clear it sounded like they were right there.

The Dude said...

So it's like Kippling, right?

deborah said...

?

The Dude said...

I have never Skyped.

deborah said...

Okay, now that's awful :)

The Dude said...

Do you speak from experience?

Oh, you mean the pun - that's a great pun.

CL, as for Dylan using "lay/lie" incorrectly, you missed "Lay Lady Lay" as a prime example.

Sure, Lie Lady Lie would become Hillary's! theme song, but you know what I'm sayin'...

deborah said...

Lay Lady Lay comes across as a very unDylan song.

chickelit said...

@Sixty: Bob Dylan was an intransigent abuser of intransitive verbs.

chickelit said...

Chick, what do you charge for a fake margarita?

I can't say yet, deborah. There are offers being made and there are good reasons for me not to put that out there right now.

Would you consider getting one for a reasonable price?
