No? THANK GOD ME NEITHER.
Look, it's Friday. We're in no mood. We're all tired and cranky and in a horrible mood because it's cold and gray and we're all fresh out of Halloween candy. Or maybe that's just me. Is it okay if I project a little on you? Because I like to imagine we're exactly alike, except that you have better hair and brushed your teeth today.
So I'm also going to assume you find this as hilarious as I do. God, your laugh is like the angels singing, for real.
And once you're done that, check out freerice.com. I'm completely obsessed with this. Define vocab words in exchange for 10 grains of rice donated (via the ad revenue) to the United Nations World Food Program. The site just launched four weeks ago and has donated 1,008,771,910 grains of rice. Yes, it's that addicting. But I can think of plenty of things one can spend hours doing online that are much worse than boning up your vocabulary skills for charity.
Like...lolgrims, maybe. Drat.
I am usually quiet and non-self-promote-y, but I think I am an absolute genius for this one. Even if it was my husband's idea. http://noirbettie.com/blog/?p=2967

Dude, I love you! I've got 740 grains of rice so far. Trivia with a purpose! *Mwah* A much better thing to do when I'm sick in bed than Scrabble! (So far my level is like 39 - I'm getting *most* of them.)

Thanks for the link to freerice.com! You have salvaged the rest of my boring Friday afternoon at work :)

I love everything LOLcat-inspired. I also love Freerice and "donate" often. Just don't tell my boss! Shhhhhh!!

Ohh, a thousand rice grains later and I'm determined to reach level 48 - which it says is rare. I've made it to 44. I'll just have to persevere. :)
I thank you, but I'm sure my boss won't...

holy *beep*
That IS addicting.

My Internettiest (yes, it's a word...now) friend at work and make it a point to touch base about LOLcats every now and then.
I'll say, "Still funny?"
He'll reply, "Yep, still funny."
Then I'll nod and we'll go about our business, content that all is right with the world.

I've turned into a bit of a freerice addict myself.
Posted by: Rachael | November 09, 2007 at 06:26 PM
I'm sick of them. AND the original LOLCats. Their kinda lame.

I'm also addicted to the freerice site. Come on, Amalah, tell us your score.....
I hover at 42, have gotten as high as 44. It's addicting, and frustrating.
