Regrettable Rides : Suddenly I'm Craving a Creamsicle. Custom paint jobs can be cool. And if you're going to go to the effort of having your vehicle painted in a colour that it would have never been available with originally, (unless it's from, oh, probably the late 1970s, or according to my research, the Phillipines), might as well go with orange. You'll be able to find it in the parking among the dozens of other Civics. If you're afraid that you might not have the only orange Civic around, go with a bright white hood. Let a frozen treat be your inspiration. More. . .
Still  More Confusing Song Titles. Some time ago we ran a Good/Bad/Ugly article called Confusing
Song Titles, which naturally rated songs, six of them, actually, that have titles that don't
make sense, songs like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Rainy Day
Women #12 and 35." And more recently, we ran More Confusing Song Titles, and rated five more such songs, such as "1979" and "Baba O'Reilly". That's a dozen misnamed songs rated, but there's plenty more out there to rate.
Here's another batch of them. More. . .
 So How Was Your Day? I'm not sure when my day actually started last Saturday. My wife and I woke up at 4:00 am to the sound of vomit. Our daughter, who had seemed just fine the night before, had just thrown up in her bed. Her little brother had been sick a few days previously, so it wasn't completely unexpected. At least, no more than waking up in the middle of the night and cleaning up puke normally would be. We got her cleaned up and changed, and sheet/blanket/pillowcase switched out, and back to bed everyone went. More. . .
 Return to Sender, Address Unknown (Vol. 2). The company I work for is not especially large, but we are fairly busy most of the time. Often this means that I don't have lots of time to devote to projects that aren't urgent or especially important. Sometimes, though, items that really shouldn't be all that urgent or important turn out to be one or the other. Sometimes both. And usually, it is exactly that sort of thing which ends up going wildly off the rails. One of my responsibilities at work is handling most of our procurement. This includes things we order all the time, and things we may only ever need once. New special order items can be . . . interesting. More. . .
 A Thousand Words, Volume XXV. It's that time again. It's been entirely too long since the last edition of A Thousand Words (more than a year, in fact), but everyone loves funny photos, especially when accompanied by equally, if not even funnier, captions. If you haven't seen this feature before, you'll want to check out the arrows at the bottom of this page, which you can use to get to every edition of A Thousand Words that we've done on the site. This is number 25, so that's a lot of funny photos. But before you do that, take a moment to enjoy this edition of A Thousand Words. More. . .
 You! I can tell you exactly what’s wrong with this country. It’s not the President, or the tea party. It’s You. It’s not I. I already know which hair and face serums will alter my DNA to prevent frizz and reduce the signs of ageing, and I spend the extra money — not as much as They probably do to get actual surgical results, of course, but as much as I possibly can. Because I’m worth it. (Nor is it We. We’re also worth it. We’re still worth it.) More. . .
2011 Wilhelm Awards . It's hard to believe that an entire year has passed since the last Dontmindme.com Wilhelm Awards. A lot has happened in the last 12 months, and there are a lot of things and people which are, if not very, at least moderately deserving of a Wilhelm Award. This year we didn't actually have any formal nominations since the last awards, so all the winners are now for the first time being mentioned in association with this prestigious prize. More . . .
