Just copped The Great Awakening by Timothy Brindle, and I’m listening to the song Vanity (Remix).
Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!
What does man gain by his work under the sun?
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!
A generation goes and a generation comes.
Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!
Whatever has been done is what will be done.
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
There’s nothing new under the sun.
This is, of course, an almost exact transcription into rhyme of Ecclesiastes 1:2-11 (NASB, peep it also in NLT).
I spent the last three days at the dentist. The first day was just the checkup, you know, the part where they hygienist pokes and prods around and clucks and “hrrmm…”s a whole bunch, and the whole time your spirits are sinking because each one of those sounds means bad news. The next two days were spent getting fillings. Boy, I tell you, do not drink soda. Just don’t. When they tell you it’s terrible for your teeth? They are not lying. So I’m off soda now… at least for the most part. Maybe I could do one a week.
I got my new glasses yesterday! They are made by Kliik and they apparently only have a portion of their catalogue online so I can’t find the exact link to the style that I got. I guess I could take a picture and upload it, but that seems overly self-absorbed (as if blogging about them somehow wasn’t). They’re made of metal instead of plastic so they’re a lot heavier, which I don’t like very much, and the earpieces squeeze my head a lot more, which I also don’t like. The earpieces are really wide, which I didn’t realize would cut off a huge portion of my peripheral vision until I started driving with them. Anyway, we’ll see.
Oh yes, Acromania. Congrats to Dan for winning. Next round is UPS. Also, I will not accept your submission this time unless it includes a real, actual suggestion for a prize(s).

Prize: Coffee. Can’t go wrong. It’s communist!
Submission:
Unitard Pry Stick
For those uninitiated, this is a unitard and you can only imagine why you’d need a stick to pry…

Hahahaha!
I love the look of your site. Looks great even in explorer (which I still use).
Upended Perpendicular Sasquatch
And to be honest, I really have no explanation, nor justification for this one . . . perhaps it could be some kind of really ‘hip’ Emo band.
Take care

Unilateral Paranoia Syndrome
It’s where you think everyone is paranoid.
The prize should be cheese and wine. Or steak.
Welp, I’m off to lunch, seeya!

Usually Pathetic and Slow
I and my roommate have had horrible experiences with UPS delivering packages. They put time ranges and either showed up before the range began, or after the range ended. Once showed up while two people were present in our house but neglected to ring the doorbell…and also their website tracking is abysmal in comparison to FedEx. So in summation, use FedEx.

Nice . . .
Yeah, a prize . . . something like a coupon to Perkins or maybe Denny’s. Unless of course you want to give something super awesome. Than maybe you just want to make a bunch of remixes through garage band. That’s all I have.

Ur Probably Stupid.
Prize: A chauffeured (by Hankins) trip to Ted and Wally’s for the ice cream selection of the winner’s choice. Sprinkles must be included.

All entries were excellent this time. I think I told Kathlyn she would win if she posted the submission that she did, so I’ve definitely got that obligation. But the other four are very good too. I’ll drop Cary’s since it doesn’t make sense, except as a hip emo band. Next I will drop el’s, because while excellent, he needed an explanation to go with it. Dan’s is really good, but so is Indo’s…. hrm… well, I guess by my previous logic, Indo needed that picture to go along with his to explain it, so that’s out. So that’s, what, Dan’s and Kathlyn’s? Okay, hold on, let me check the scoreboard.
Alright. By a complex and poorly-understood mathematical formula, I have determined that everyone who entered this round will receive a point! That is also my way of saying, “Hey I’m really sorry it took a month.” In addition, both Kathlyn and Dan will receive a level. Well done people.

Every time you score this stupid game I get angrier. I don’t want your dumb levels. That is no way to show that Dan and I won. This is the last straw, Hankins.
