A bit of British humour here on the subjects of office bikes…

First off, an office bike is slang for someone everybody in the office had a “ride” on before.

Here is the saucy office bike. This is site for a British product called Pot Noodles (a product similar to Cup O’Soup her in the U.S.) in which a website was created about the office bike and her Pot Noodles. In fact there is a whole “web ring” associated with the product and all sorts of web parodies. Just watch the video of the office bike, the ad is hilarious…. and saucy. Check out the other sites on the “ring” as well.

Here is another office bike. This is why you don’t race in the office.

Take that Cambridge scholars!

Jeanne did not blow or wash me away… nor did it magically take out the local schools for which my children were wishing.

So I am back at work… well almost about to leave work for home right now.

I shall return.

We are still here, Jeanne hasn’t washed us away yet. Since the university is closed due to the weather, we have an extended weekend. Even my very attractive boss was kind enough to call to let me know that the campus was closed.

So I will probably be spending the day watching the tube (if the clouds don’t block the satellite signal), cross-stitching, and resting.

I know you people out west and to the north are soooo jealous.

Maybe I’ll tie one end of a rope around myself and the other end to a tree and fly myself like a kite. Wheeeeeeee!

So be good, be well, and please have safe sex… lots and lots of safe sex.

1. What is your opinion on karma?
According to strict Karmic law (for every event that occurs, there will follow another event whose existence was caused by the first, and this second event will be pleasant or unpleasant according as its cause was skillful or unskillful), the idea is that the universe is ultimately seeking harmonic balance addressing the wrongs and rewarding the rights. I believe that there is a stabilizing force inherent in the universe and that all deeds, good or bad, will come back to you and I try to use positive “forces” (such as meditation, prayer, good works) to help others out. Yeah, it sounds new age-y but I’ve tried to practice this since childhood.

2. If anything, do you think attitude makes any difference? If you believe the world and life are good, will good things radiate toward you? If you believe otherwise, will it all be a self fulfilling prophecy?
The mind is a powerful force in the universe. It can set things in motion with just a thought or a dream. I think that if you think positive you will generally will have good things happen to you, not always, and there will be some really deep pits, but in the long run you will be in a more positive situation. And most certainly if you think bad things are going to happen that they will. You will be more apt to notice the bad things with that type of attitude than you would with a positive one. The easiest thing to do is to fulfill a self prophecy.

But don’t think I’m all rose and cheer. I have my bad and depressed days as well.

3. How has luck/chance/facts-of-life/God/karma/nature treated you so far?
The tidal forces of the universe has been on the good side so far in my life. I don’t have the best of health, I’m not monetarily rich, and I not handsome, but I am reasonably happy and content… I just have to work at it.

4. What is your opinion of the concept of destinies?
I believe everyone has a set of possible destinies, not just one. Each decision we make leads us to a specific destination, but that destination can change in an instant. We control our futures to a point outside the influences of the universe around us. I’m not talking mystical influences, more like other people’s decisions, the gravitation pull of the universe, that big rock hurling itself to my office… agh!

5. Are both bad and good things needed in order to truly live life? Can you have the bad without the good? The good without the bad?
More like the ying-yang. There can be no good without bad and bad cannot exist without good. Both are a necessary part of nature, but it is up to us to reduce the influence of the bad things and minimize the effects.

Involve yourself in the circle of life and do the Friday Five.

I had to delete 30 comments this morning that were spam… 30! It seems all of the hacks from MT only work long enough for the spammers to find a way around them.

And why spam my comments? I’m on the modest end of visitor numbers, so who is gonna read them? My readers tend to spot spam a mile away.

I know what is going on… it is a plot by the radical Republican National Party to stifle my opposition to President Shrub and his Holy War against people that made his father’s administration look bad.

Or it is a plot by the prosaic DNP so that I would be lulled to sleep and vote for Kerry and support his national Lurch agenda

Or it is a plot by the clueless Independent Party so that I would be fooled into voting for Nader so that he can put us back into the stone ages.

Or it is a plot by the enigmatic little green men to get me to mate with their tall, green, voluptuous, beautiful women again and again and again….

Or it is just a bunch of nimrods who get paid for the number of spams they produce regardless of placement.

While you are here, check out Wildwood Designs. The site features the artwork of two beautiful sisters that centers around Celtic and enchanting hand painted watercolours. Simply beautiful works.

I’ll go back to the tall, green, beautiful, voluptuous women fantasy now.

Yes, I was abducted by aliens yesterday. They were six feet tall, green, and female. Well, except for the male that was holding what looked like a video camera. They zapped me up into their spaceship and into a room that had this big bed in it, I’d say about king size. Then these naked female aliens (you’d think for such an advanced race they would have worn clothes, the male was… maybe they were Ferengi) started rippin’ my clothes off. They pushed me onto the bed and the females crawled into be with me, feelin’ of my hair chest, and their hand started to go lower. That’s when one of them…..

Okay, so I wasn’t abducted yesterday.

I was just very, very busy and went to bed really, really early because I was really, really tired.

But look at what I found….

Yes, it is the ever elusive Wonder Woman toy from the animated Justice League. If you don’t know, female superheroes are hard to find since they are not made in the same quantity as say Batman or Superman so finding one is a treat. Now my son can proudly say that he has Wonder Woman… well not in that way, but you get the meaning. Now if we can just find Hawkgirl, which is going to be difficult since she left the Justice League!

Obscure memories or just dreams unrealized, fantasies impossible. Lives not lived, roads not mapped in advance. Too much thought and not enough randomness, too rational, I think. We can go insane wondering, did I go the right way? (Are we sure we haven’t gone insane already?) It would explain much, the killing, the radicalism, the name-calling, the fanatical banner waving. Were we always insane? And since we are made in His image, it doesn’t Him such a good impression of his omnipotence. It would explain much, a mad God creates an insane universe that is constantly trying to disprove His existence by merely existing. Stand back, I am sure God is going to strike me down now.

Doubt, lack of faith, questioning….. Are we all just hurling our bodies into the void, anchorless and without purpose?

Why are we here? Perhaps it is to be a collective god in some future time and at the end of this creation we will create the next universe and shatter our godhood throughout the creation, putting a shard of the divine into each creature of soul. A cycle that repeats for eternity in the Over-time, creating something new each time, maybe something even better.

This is what I get for thinking too much.

I saw this thing…

This is one case where God or some higher power should exercise her wrathful powers and just smite whomever thought of such a monstrosity.

I can hear the designers now…
“Oh crap! We forgot to design a vehicle for really rich people or idiotic limo renters that not only has all of the stuff in a limo but can also travel off road, get crappy gas mileage, be wildly underpowered, be wide enough to have an orgy in, and it has to be stretch too so we can violate a few dozen traffic laws and make it impossible to steer.”

I can see the limo, and maybe a stretch limo, but a stretch suv limo?

Next you’ll tell me there is a truck limo 4×4.

My assistant just informed me that they do in fact make stretch limo 4×4 trucks…

God is really slacking off on the wrath department… or Hell is on Earth.
