Abominable Turkey

I wish I could offer lovely sights like my friend N (Life in Paris blog). Alas, I have to go with what's available in this neck of the woods:

Yes, he's eight feet of pulsating poultry. You may commence disgusted clucking noises.

What do you need?

Snagged from MyLifeMyWordsMyMind, here's a nifty little game: Google search your first name with the word "needs" - "so-and-so needs" - and post the top 10 answers. Here are mine -

1) "Debra needs your support to continue unique research into EB and cancer."

2) "Debra needs to change her SQL server's compatibility level to 70."

3) "Debra needs volunteers to do some research/information gathering."

4) "Debra needs to solve the math problems correctly."

5) "Debra needs to develop a schedule of when will work with each DAM on the CP list."

6) "Debra needs some space."

7) "Debra needs your financial support in order to run an effective campaign."

8) "Debra needs to calculate the student budget for the fiscal year end."

9) "Debra needs to curtail her outside activities and give land use responsibilities to someone else."

10) "Debra needs a major break."

Like magic! - isn't it amazing how a "random" search reveals some deep issues in my life? How did the Internet divine my deep needs for support, for organization, for getting my financial ducks in a row? And most welcome of all - #6 and #10! Why, it even knows that I'm math-challenged.

Perhaps this works on the same principle as "Ask the audience" on that game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? No matter how dull and lacking in insight individuals may be, the collective thought power of a large enough group nearly always produces the right answer. In that spirit, here's what the universe (or at least, the part of it connected to the Internet) feels George Bush needs:

1) "George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq..."

2) "George Bush needs a more intimate relationship with the truth."

3) "George Bush needs our love."

4) "George Bush needs a potty break."

5) "George Bush needs to step aside."

6) "George Bush needs to return the skull of Pancho Villa to its proper resting place."

7) "George Bush needs the Gay Dollar..."

8) "George Bush needs to forego the sanitized pap he is being fed and talk to us from his heart."

9) "George Bush needs to answer questions about his own tax increase."

10) "Geogre Bush needs to open his eyes to the fact that thousands of Iraqis have died for no reason because of HIM."
