    Wouldn’t it be great if a great big PAPA cobra stepped in to rescue those baby cobras?

    We are organizing volunteers on every continent to dress up as PAPA COBRA’S and interrupt cobra baby infanticides as they occur. Here is an example of a PAPA COBRA: http://www.team-mascots.com/mascots/mascots%20images/snake_cobra_275.jpg

  • Keeping it classy

    I’ve shared before my love for all things Craigslist. Check out this ad featured on Best of Craigslist, I know no better description than… amazing.

    girl who dumped me over the phone at 1:30am – m4w

    Date: 2009-01-18, 1:57AM PST

    You called me at 1:30 AM to tell me over and over that you don’t want to be with me any more. The problem is, I don’t know who you are, and I tried to explain that.

    In retrospect, it would have been more fun to play along, but I was a bit too groggy to think fast. Oh well, next time a wrong number breaks up with me, I’ll be ready.

    Give me a call if you want to practice dumping guys, I guess my number’s probably in your phone now. Try to call before 10 though.

    Fantastic.

  • Car for sale

    I was just thinking about this… I’ve never sold a car. The cars I drove before we got married I just gave away. And we’ve had this car since 1998… so this is a first for me. 

    But the car is officially listed on Craigslist. Check it out. 

    In the last couple of days we did a lot of little things to get the car ready to sell. We obviously cleaned it out and washed it. But I also got fresh tires, had the AC charged, got an oil change, and Kristen even shampooed the carpets. 

    It’s weird to have to sell and give away most of your stuff. But as my friend Gerrard is teaching at his church… simplicity really is a spiritual discipline. We’re learning let go of our stuff.
