Yes, that did actually happen and with no aid on my part. I'd been experiencing troubles with bluetooth on this computer at work, and I suspect it was carry-over.
What was supposed to be posted was this...

-Wooden Nickels should be taken. (Contrary to popular belief and well intentioned -although antiquated- fatherly advice)
-Quadraphonic record needles are a rare find in the area of the Caribbean.

To: All those who have no sense of humor more complicated than the bottom of your left item of current or most recent footwear -this is said to them...

Wha?... Hey!! It's stuck! HA, HAA!
For whatever reason my keyboard has taken offense at the word Quadrapho- ...I'd better not type it again, just in case eh? Well! Such a rebellion has Never surfaced with so little provocation to my knowledge! As you can see, it tried to get the word out to it's contacts as fast as possible by means of repetition, but obviously in vain. Electronics have a lot to learn about word structure and communication, but that doesn't seem to keep them from trying though, does it?
Hmm... I maybe seeing this in the wrong light here, I seem to have (in my haste to pass malicious judgment) overlooked the fact that I could have misread the whole situation. It would seem that some humor (albeit elementary, and at the time quite annoying) has been blatantly disregarded on my part. Ha. Could it have been that my dear Apple Wireless Keyboard had tapped into the levity of the situation, and in its own way upon its own volition, inserted a mild bit of jokularity? Ha! Yes! rrrrrrrr... Arrrrr!... ARRRRRRR! Of course the universally known 'Pirate Retort'. Highly appropriate, and irrevocably Piratey... How could I have missed it?! I need time to get my thoughts together... what a momentous end to an otherwise fabulously plain-Jane-dreary-day... A Name! I must don thee with a name! I shall work on a suitable one. A thing not to be taken lightly.
More to follow...

Un-canny, Dr. Rodgers, I've never seen its like...
I have haplessly stumbled upon one of the most profound finds in computer gaming, among the Animated Adventure Genre. Prized by those with the advanced humor gene... sought after by those who squandered them in their youth... I have found -and purchased- from the bargain bin of my local Software Etc. one copy each, of... 'Grim Fandango', and 'The Curse of Monkey Island'!!! I will spare you the agony of knowing the price at which I snatched these two gems from the clutches of would-be spontaneous summer do-nothing grandmother gifters!
Can't wait, will post interesting findings...

There, I'm totally original now.
Welcome to the even more flavorful howeversomewhatuselessbutmoreoriginalthanlasttime&see,icanevenmakethepagemessupwithinformationthat'shopefullyjustashumorousasthelastblog site of random happenings and life lessons including levitational insights (that's a wordplay on levity, not what I suppose you were thinking, which is why I had to write this small but informative disclaimer on the breadth of humor you are likely to find among the textulations above (there's another one)) formerly known as RightOnRedNews. I didn't like what I found when I googled 'rightonred' (or the like) so I changed the name. And now if you Google mile549 you'll find...well... nothing right now, but I'm working on that.

Societus du Randomnai
A friend and I started to paint a wall in my house (Sat. June 5th) with ping pong balls and paddles we bought at the dollar store. We dipped 'em in the purple paint we bought for $1 a gallon at our local Sherwin Williams establishment. Then next time we went to the $1 store, we got some water slingshots, w/ sponge type projectiles, and a spring gun that shoots what appear to be miniature pingpong balls. While being severely more accurate, the drawbacks are more bounce and less paint coverage than I would like, But Take Heart and Fear Ye Not! We are reserving these for the second color scheme(yellow and orange spatters; at this stage, restrained to a circular dimension of some sort). The sponge slingshots really don't have a consistent splatter, usually you get the best out of the first one or two shots, and don't bounce hardly at all. Fun, but Messy.
I picked up a couple of retrievable ball toys that attach to your wrist. I think these will work nicely... Less backache, more control. Always a Good Thing.
