Sorry, Charlie!

Amber @AmbiePam (125176) • United States 22h

There used to be a commercial for Starkist tuna, and the tuna’s name was Charlie, and Charlie repeatedly tried to get the attention of the Starkist brand. At the end of every commercial a voiceover would say, “Sorry Charlie!” It...

Ali Canary I remember the "Sorry, Charlie!" commercial, and I could never figure out why Charlie wanted to be eaten so badly. Maybe he didn't understand what was involved, lol

Tampa snake hunter wins a huge prize from a Florida Python Challenge contest

George B Vieto @Deepizzaguy (124347) • Lake Charles, Louisiana 16 Aug

Tampa Florida resident Tom Rahill won a huge prize of $10,000 dollars after he removed 96 pythons from the Everglades National Park. The Florida Fish Wildlife and Conservation Commission (FWC) held an event that lasted 10 days...

Ali Canary Yep, Burmese pythons are pretty big. They aren't particularly aggressive to people (the ones in the Everglades probably all came from released pets), but any animal who is an invasive species can wreck an ecosystem.

Got two new staff when I arrived at work yesterday. A male and a female. Was quietly observing the two as they were being trained by their supervisors. Their superiors were trying to help them a bit. The male seemed to be...

Ali Canary How odd. I wonder if she is on some sort of public assistance that requires her to work every so often. Or maybe she has trouble focusing?

It's a Complete Catastrophe - "Rock You Like a Hurricane"

Scott Ganschow @teamfreak16 (45021) • Denver, Colorado 17 Aug

Another night, another song with a natural disaster in the lyrics. How uplifting, I know. What’s next, ten death songs? Don’t tempt me. I can do it. Tonight we venture into Hurricane Season, with the Scorpions’ 1984...

Ali Canary "No One Like You" is my favorite by them, but yeah, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" probably has more oomph. "The Zoo" is pretty good, too. Kind of an anthem, even!

Inspired by a MyLotter! I'm going to be rich!

The Horse @TheHorse (240023) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Aug

I was inspired this morning by a MyLotter who is working on a medium-term project. I decided to start a new set of coasters. As many MyLotters know, I like to make coasters out of acoustic guitar sound holes, sent to me (for...

Ali Canary I'm not sure they have any wild emus in Scotland! I guess if they can't fly, they might as well swim.

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (139180) • Marion, Ohio 17 Aug

I am tired of it now. Ready for some sunshine. We have had plenty of rain for a while now. Not feeling very motivated today. I do need to go to the gas station and get some tobacco. Hopefully they have the type we use. They only...

The internet is painfully slow

Michael @Wrexxo (5400) 17 Aug

It's 2:50 p.m. here in Nigeria, and the sun has finally made an appearance. It's quite hot, but I'm still hoping we get some rain soon because we really need it. I'll be having lunch shortly, but before that, here's a quick...

Ali Canary Two interesting things: 1. Dolly Parton also recorded a version of this song, and it's from the point of view of a woman who is forced to WORK there. 2. Because of the common meter, you can sing all of Emily Dickinson's poems to "Rising Sun", as well as to...

George and I were up and down early this morning, and he actually got himself a glass of water. I got up twice and got him milk before that. However, I'm glad that he was able to get himself the water. I had to dump it out this...

If You Had the Money Would You Get Plastic Surgery?

celticeagle @celticeagle (192421) • Boise, Idaho 17 Aug

I have seen some really tragic stories of people who picked the wrong doctor's to do plastic surgery. They had horrible fillers used. Once beautiful they let vanity take them over and they payed a horrible price. I for one seem...

Ali Canary I guess people can do what they want, but it can be sad to see when people go way too far and look very grotesque and inhuman. I'm aging pretty well in the face, but my skin is sagging a bit from losing weight. If I am able to lose all the weight I want to...

Do you remember when cereal boxes had toys?

snowy @snowy22315 (211616) • United States 14 Aug

Ali Canary What a weirdo! We had a bug guy who came every month like clockwork at the place I used to work. One interesting thing about the dude is that he has no sense of smell. He said that he can taste food, though.
