If you leave cans of V8 (or canned sodas, I presume) in your trunk for a few months, the ink on the outside of the can will come off on your hands when you handle them. Yep. Just in case you didn’t know…

A phenomenon in psychoanalysis characterized by unconscious redirection of feelings for one person to another.

The process by which emotions and desires, originally associated with one person are unconsciously shifted to another.

“The term “Posh” is sometimes said to have its roots as an acronym for “Port Out, Starboard Home”, referring to the idea that on ships bound from Europe to the Far East and back, the land-side cabins were more desirable. While the origins of the word are dubious, it does serve as a useful mnemonic device.”

Have you ever heard of Waldi? No? Waldi was the dachshund mascot of the 1972 Summer Olympics. Yep, a dachshund. Yes, a mascot. How cool is that? To top it, Waldi was the first Olympics mascot.
I told Antonio that his breed was once a symbol of international sports, but he’s uninterested. Maybe I’m alone in my excitement?

I’ve spent some time tonight looking for a stuffed Waldi, a t-shirt… anything at all… and I’ve found nothing. How cute would a line of Waldi t-shirts be? In kid sizes, adult sizes, and stuffed animals. I need funding.

My blog hit 20,000 visits while I was in Florida. That’s not page views, folks… that’s individual site visits. Pretty sweet.

Today is National VCR Day. It’s true. At first I thought, “How funny,” but then I actually felt kind of sad. My VCRs don’t get the same love that they got ten years ago. Sure, I still own all of my VHS tapes… mostly because I’m cheap; But I’ll get rid of them slowly and gradually as I replace them with DVDs. It’s really just a matter of time for them. My poor VCRs are becoming (or already are) extinct. They just don’t know it yet.

On a lighter note…
I’m surprised that Elizabeth missed what I would expect would be her favorite day of the year: Apple Computer Day was June 4th.

And lest you forget the rest of your important June holidays (not including Father’s Day, of course)…
Recess at Work Day is the 15th.
Vinegar Day is the 17th.
Garfield the Cat Day is the 19th (This is for Jessica).
Pee on Earth Day is the 21st.
Take Your Dog to Work Day is the 23rd.
Please Take My Child To Work Day is the 26th.
Hand Shake Day is the 28th.

June is also both ‘Effective Communications Month’ and ‘Professional Wellness Month,’ which I find, well, comical. And ironic.

Happy June.
