IB Factoid of the Day™: the Christmas holiday slump cuts our traffic roughly in half.
I figure that’s a good thing. It is a good thing to deal with living human beings that you love. Even if some yelling of insults is involved.
But here’s a gem swiped from LauraW, on a super-secret site that I can not disclose. I guess it’s old, but it was new to me.

Steamboat McGoo has an odd post where he dumps all the images he couldn’t figure out how to use, but they are all kinda interesting.
Some are NSFW.

Of course, being the lame-ass I am, I fell asleep and missed this on New Year’s Eve. But dammit, daredevils are the shit!
On a related note, I took out the trash tonight without wearing a coat.
Nice Deb Smeared On Rival Blog January 2, 2009

I’m sorry, I know we are supposed to begin the new year trying to be more polite, but I’m having a hard time, since I’m currently involved in a blog-war with the puppy-abusers at Exurban league. Here’s what they had to say about moi:
This blogger, who deceptively calls herself “Nice Deb,” sadly chose the low road of character assassination. Now, her allies have encouraged her divisive politics of personal destruction.
Yes, I just happened to discover (while I was doing some opposition research of them as competitors for ‘Best Small Blog ‘in the 2008 Weblog Awards) that they are the proprietors of AN ILLEGAL PUPPY FARM! It gets worse:
To become an ExLg blogger, the aspirant must sacrifice one puppy as a blended offering to Glenn Reynolds (a.k.a. Instapundit). While some secularists find this holy ceremony distasteful, I must offer a few caveats in our defense:
- Each puppy — unplanned and unwanted, I assure you — was stolen from Michael Vick or DMX’s house, and thus saved from a much crueler fate.
- Aspirants were not required to consume the still beating heart of the beast. (ExTodd did that of his own volition.)
- The cow costumes are no longer part of the ritual due to a copyright infringement claim by a local Chick-fil-A franchisee.
I apologize if any reader takes offense to this revelation. But let me make one thing perfectly clear: I could no more disown Glenn Reynolds than I could disown my racist preacher.
I just thought I’d give everybody a heads up. While it was certainly my intention to start the new year on the right foot, I couldn’t allow such profoundly objectionable villainy to go unnoticed.
Voting starts January 5th. Vote accordingly.
New Year’s Resolution - BE POLITE January 2, 2009

That’s right. The movement is on to be NICE in 2009. Since I already am the epitome of sweetness and light, this will not be an issue for moi.
Stop being such an asshole. The world does not revolve around you, bitch. And clean up the potty mouth you nasty tranny.

And to think, all we had to offer our daughter when she was going through her training was an “Elmo Uses The Potty” video.
Planetary Gearset Awesomeness January 1, 2009

Morning Chuckleheads!
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to this website. (SFW)
This morning I learned about automatic transmissions and the engineering wonderment that is the planetary gearset.
This drives your cars. It’s IMPORTANT. CLICK ON IT. CLICK ON IT NOW iF YOU WANT TO LIVE!
I’ve seen transmissions broken down. All the channels for transmission fluid, the valves and bands and stuff. I get the basic principles. But the animations show you HOW IT WORKS.
This is totally awesome. Dave recommends!

Yinz? What the heck are yinz?
I’ve accepted a new assignment in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, starting Monday. I’ll be staying at an extended stay motel and returning to home and hearth on weekends for the next few months.
It is highly unusual for me to be away from familiar surroundings for long periods of time, and though I am excited about the new project, I’m a little anxious about living in a new city 5 days a week.
I know the site administrator and many IB commenters are are seasoned road warriors, so I’m looking for helpful traveling tips for a 40(+) year old rookie. Pittsburgh
barrestaurant suggestions are welcome as well.
