Google Goth

Tonight (March 29th) from 8 to 9 o’clock is "Earth Hour". The "global warming" set suggest that we turn our lights out in solidarity and support for conserving energy. Even Google has gotten involved and has turned their Home Page black with white letters. Now they have admitted that their new look doesn’t really help the environment: “… it saves no energy; modern displays use the same amount of power regardless of what they display”. Regardless of this, they view their “Goth Google” look as supportive of this cause.

While I don’t completely buy into the whole “Global Warming” scare, I am not usually one to want to be outdone. So, taking inspiration from our web browsing friends, I suggest the following.

1. Put down your Snickers bar and pick up a Milky Way Dark
2. Order your steak blackened (Cajun style).
3. Eat leg and thigh instead of back and breast.
4. Don’t use salt on your food (add an extra dash or two of pepper).
5. Use only black ink or black font on your work.

What can you add to this list? Give it your best shot. We might even have to award another ROSCOE award.

We’re having Bible study tonight at our house during this hour and I’m quite sure we’ll have the lights on. But none of us will be eating marshmallows (well, we are going to have rice crispy treats, but we’ll make sure to only serve chocolate milk).

So regardless if you celebrate it or not, may your Earth Hour be happy and BRIGHT!

Tom

1. Instead of a Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar, have a Hershey Dark Chocolate Bar. Actually that's what I eat regularly. I guess that makes me more committed than Google. That's committed as in dedicated not committed to the mental ward.
2. Don't buy white side wall tires.
3. Don't wear any white suits this year. Wear only black.
4. Wear sunglasses at night. It will really be dark.

Bob,
I love the sunglasses at night. There ought to be a song about that and I laughed out loud at you being committed. Great thoughts! By the way, our Bible study is over and we left the light on the whole time.

fBlogprophet,

I don't really know the difference. I chose by casting lots, and the lot fell to Blogspot. Seriously, there are some features that I like on Wordpress, but I don't know too much about it. What makes WP better than BS (besides the other things that BS can stand for).

"What makes wordpress better than blogspot?"
Well, besides the obvious -- that the great Blogprophet & yours truly use it -- the only things I miss from blogspot are the text wrapping around pictures and easier to format/use widgets in the sidebar.

Everything else that you do with blogging is better on Wordpress. IMGO!!

By the way, my last comment on my post was only a joke. I don't mind the puns - as long as you don't mind me rolling my eyes (like I would at Dad) and joking back with you. (o;

Lisa,

Not to worry. Kidding or not the funny, wacky stuff just races through my head and needs to have some modicum of control exerted over it. I think I first heard Patrick Mead say the line about “paying to get out of my head” but it is nonetheless very descriptive of me. Your blogs are entertaining and they leave me with many puny comments begging to be made. The Ninja of the Pun must learn the art of silence. Only then will a quick and precise strike achieve its maximum effect. Sensei Langdon has taught me much of this art.

As for Wordpress, there may come a day when I may switch. I’m still so new to this that I wouldn’t probably know the difference. Thanks for your input and for your thoughts,

Tom
