This is officially a Friday Frylet, as it's Friday.
This week's phrase: "Game changer"
GAACK! I HATE this phrase. Everything's suddenly a game changer this year. Who started it? There are books, blog posts, editorials and pedantic pundits who are now calling anything new a "game changer." Quit it!
In my opinion, this is the only thing that can be called a Game Changer:
Yes, that's a doggy remote-control holder, available here.
And Kathi D: they didn't make a Sheltie version.
Hundreds gather to protest global warming
I use Flickr to store and post my photos. Within Flickr there's an editing app called Picnik. It's a terrific, flexible editor that quickly crops, resizes, corrects color, red eye, exposure, etc.
Yesterday I clicked on another tab in Picnik titled "create." That function allows you to add text and images and effects to photos. So to play with my pictures, I don't have to open an involved photo editing program - it's all in one place, for free.
For example, it can do this:
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Ever have one of those mornings?
Friday frylets are those tasty left-over morsels at the bottom of the french fry bag. Metaphorically.
I have such great neighbors. This week they've watched Henry, mowed the lawn, brought over casseroles, and checked in on me daily.
They're definitely looking out for me. Kinda furry, though.
The perpetrator of this animal abuse shall not be identified (hint: rhymes with golly gee!) but she knows who she is. 
She claims she's reformed, but her previous behavior belies a pattern: minnie mouse, yankee doodle polo shirts, and who knows what else she hasn't dared to share.
I'm starting a letter-writing protest campaign.

You're kidding me, right?
Takes me back to the bad ol' days working on the Hostess Bakery advertising account, when we came up with the brilliant phrase: "One Quarter Cup of Milk in Every Donut!" as the "reason-why," as they say in the ad biz.
I don't know about immunity, but they do make great little glue globs that are impossible to remove from bowls, spoons and sinks. A new use, perhaps?
I'm getting a kick out of these. This one's pretty good, akshully. There's a program to build your own on the Graph Jam site. Go for it! Come on, you have plenty of time on your hands...
I've decided that Fridays will be frylets day. You know, those little french fries that get lost in the bottom of the bag. One last little tasty treat. Salty, too.
So I ran across this site yesterday while producing endless PowerPoint graphs. By the way, PowerPoint 2007 SUCKS. And I don't use that word often. It is the least user-friendly, most complicated, incomprehensible, annoying and time-wasting program I've ever dealt with. Including Excel 2007, which ain't so hot itself.
But anyway, here's something very funny. This site posts readers' charts of random items. For example:
I may have to start putting my graphing skills to better use...
