I thought I had looked for a website for Clam Chowder and failed to find one, but I just looked again and found Clam Chowder’s Web Page. They are one my favorite groups, and I am glad to see that they are still “semi-active.”

LOL Cats
For those who didn’t understand my Friday post Spring, Pleez? I used the fractured syntax from Lolcat graphics occasionally found on the Internet in my photo. The Wikipedia article on Lolcats has a history of the genre. The I Can Has Cheezburger? site has examples.
I’ve never quite understood why LOL cats use such fractured syntax. I’ve always felt that if cats would deign to speak to us lowly human beings they would use the snooty accents once common to BBC announcers, with impeccable grammar.

A little over fifteen years ago, when we moved to Colorado, we looked for a place where either one of us could have qualified for the mortgage. When the loan officer asked if we wanted a fifteen year mortgage instead of a thirty, we said sure. We didn’t really expect to be here for sixteen years, since it was our second company sponsored move in two years. How time flies.
Thumb Thing
I want a Thumb Thing. And it’s not even expensive.
Spice Rack
And here I thought I was compulsive about trying to keep my spice rack in alphabetical order. v a u g h n a u s t i n takes it to a whole new level. (Which brings back the memory of the time my sister visited, and decided to do me a favor by organizing my spice rack. As she was lining the bottles up by size, type of container, and manufacturer, she failed to notice that they were already in alphabetical order. Thanks, sis.)
