Grandma Susie's House of FUNNERS 'N FLOOZIES (Volume IV)

hey,all. We can call you apocalyptic Cliff How was all your Xmas'? Hope great! Blessings, Siri 'n all! s

I behaved all during Christmas.

My Christmas was alright. Ate too much, and was heaps tired by the time I got home.

Sis's boyfriend's mum couldn't make it. She was feeling sick (she's had health problems this year that were flaring up) which means I still have never met her.

I got a bit more than I was expecting for Christmas... More money from the grandparents and a more valuable gift voucher from sis and her boyfriend than I got last year. Hence being able to afford Windows 7, which I'll be getting (hopefully) later today.

And I might be getting some more money tomorrow, when I see dad. Which will help with bills and stuff.

...And awaiting your prediction will be an Apocalyptic Cliff-hanger.

Sweet Z's.

Sleep tight.


Our trivia question of the day: Where does the expression "sleep tight" come from? Hint: It's not sexual.

Trivia answer: Certain extremely flatulent individuals would have their nether cheeks bound tightly together prior to sleeping in an attempt to prevent the escape of noxious gases.

That's an...interesting bit of trivia. I'll try to remember that.

I think I'm getting sleepy. The bed might be calling...

Hey everyone! Most of you can't tell but I am posting this post using my new Dragon speak software. I won't ever have to use my fingers again

Speaking of dragons . . . where's that night-sleeper?

Did someone mention dragons?

*flies to Syd's to speak dragon with her*

There be dragon-speak.

It sounds a lot like blah, blah, blah, blah

I predict Syd will soon be posting sentence such as:

Your not going to believe this but their was a base ball game to night and the Mariners one.

That doesn't sound like dragon speak to me...there's not even the mention of a cow in there.

Probably, at first AC. I guess it has to learn my speech patterns and frequently used words. It is weird, when I downloaded it asked to view all of my documents to try and learn how I use words...

I guess DragonSpeak is even nosier than Facebook.

I have that on my computer, not sure if it's Dragon speak, though. My brother showed it to me when he gave it to me, but I had to keep repeating words and still it would get it wrong...it might be the Texas accent...or maybe only Dragon Speak can translate dragons.

Unless humans never do anything about global warming, then it'll probably be some point in 2030.

My computer came with an installed text-to-speech program. I turned it on one day and it didn't work that well. When you start up Dragon speak you set up a user profile and that's one of the questions it asks, if you have an accent. It is a little rocky right now, but I heard it would be as I learn it and it learns my speech.

If you yell at it, does it type in all-caps?

Yell at Cliff and see!

In other news, I received a book in the mail today. "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I've read it once before (borrowed from the library) but wanted to read it again soon. Brilliantly funny book.

I was hoping to receive it before Christmas, but it doesn't matter if it's a few days late.

No, it just goes all red. You have to say "All caps" then "CLIFF!"
