Funny, Random Wednesday

...Now separated by tildes, for your reading pleasure!

TMZ made me laugh so hard last night I almost choked on a drink. The story- The Winklevoss twins bought a house in LA for $18 million (it's GORGEOUS). The voice over guy talks about it for a minute and then... BREAKING NEWS! Mark Zuckerberg just stole the Winklevosses' house!

And now it's worth $180,000.

Ahahaa!!! Boo-yah, TMZ. You rock, as usual.

This Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority full-page ad from USA Today, is priceless. In response to the Prince Harry photos... (Thanks, AdWeek!)

On a related note, I am enjoying the naked photos of soldiers (originally the British Army, now all over the world) in support of the Prince. Thanks, Harry! And thanks Sue, for bringing them to my attention. I salute you both.

Jeff and I made the enormous mistake of going to Staples last night. The line to check out was all the way across the store, because of grade school parents and kids shopping for school supplies. Oy. Too bad they didn't have a special line for regular people just buying one item. The cashier just laughed when we made it to the register. So, fair warning. Don't go near Target or any office supply stores in the evenings this week, if you can avoid it.
