March 32, 2013
“Of all lovely days, this was the loveliest, with narcissi and crocus reflecting the blazing rays of the golden orb, and the faintly ill queasiness of the pear blossoms causing mild distress not to overshadow the thorns of the cotoneaster, their fermented red and orange berries now stripped by birds who stayed just long enough to feel lustful inebriation under bending boughs, and the rotting logs and leaf mold bearing forth millipedes that emerge to feel the glorious radiant warmth of spring, and bright blue, pink and yellow primroses in primary colors to awaken the herb garden, bursting forth with long purple stalks of lavender and woody bushes of rosemary, and lest the Lenten lilies should fail to hold forth to the solemn congregation, like chants, the tendrils of the honeysuckle suspending the richly scented blossoms, which hung heavily in the soft morning air, such that she melted small and wonderful in his arms, she became infinitely desirable to him, all his blood-vessels seemed to scald with intense yet tender desire, for her, for her softness, for the penetrating beauty of her in his arms, passing into his blood. Ohhhh babyyyyy.”
– D. H. Lawrence

Former head of major world church seeks freelance writing gigs.

*** Pontoof’s Podium of Pontification:
Pontoof,
I dated my professor so I could get a choice internship, then did it with my internship director so I could get a job, then had an affair with my boss so I could get promoted then sold some insider information to the competition in exchange for a large sum of cash. But recently, I have this new boyfriend who is attorney for the government, and he listens to country music on the radio. Should I dump him?
Stupefied
Pontoof: Be true to your values.
*** JOTW Rock and Roll Trivia Quiz for March 32, 2013:
Q. “Escape (The Pina Colada Song)” by Rupert Holmes takes on which important social topic? (Answer below).
*** Moon over this:
Ned,
I have a question that has really been perplexing me. There’s this Pringles commercial where these two guys cause the moon to explode, immediately showering them with soft chucks of cheddar cheese. I can’t buy it. If the moon exploded, wouldn’t it take a couple of minutes before the cheese landed on Earth? The astronauts took about a week to get there, so how could cheese travel that far instantaneously? Wouldn’t a massive ejection of cheese chunks hit earth with much force? These guys look like the cheeseeroids were Nerf balls. I would think the cheese would be molten upon landing—that is if it didn’t all burn up in the atmosphere. Those flaming globules would undoubtedly cause fire storms to engulf larges areas of the Earth. And it is still light in this commercial. Wouldn’t it be dark after the moon disappeared?
Ned: You are supposed to suspend disbelief. We all know the moon is made of green cheese.

*** Well, I guess we might as well get to these jobs:
1.) WRITER, Facebook, Seattle, Wash.
The world’s largest social media site seeks skilled communicators who can write unbelievably “true” stories that FB users will share until they go viral. For example:
“Two hours into my first day of work as a Wal-Mart greeter, an ugly woman came in with her two kids. Hearing her swear at them, I said, “Good morning, welcome to Wal-Mart. Nice kids, are they twins?”
The mom answered, “Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s 9, and the other one’s 7. Why would you think they’re twins? Are you blind or stupid?”
I replied, “I’m not blind or stupid. I just couldn’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day, and thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart.”
Or, maybe you wish you could come up with other gems, such as the “Microsoft Tech Support Guy Who Tells Customer He’s ‘Too Stupid to Own a Computer,’” or “Bill Gates is Giving $5,000 to Everyone on Facebook,” or “Bride-to-Be Sends Over-The-Top List of Demands to Bridesmaids.”
If you have the ability to write a great story—one that will make FB readers laugh, feel inspired, be amazed and most importantly, forward to all of their friends with a “You aren’t going to believe THIS!” subject line—then drop us a tale at viralstories@facebook.com. Standard rates apply.

24.) Publicist, Norse Sagas, Nye-Sukkertoppen, Sukkertoppen, Qeqqata, Greenland
Á ofanverðum dögum Ketils hófst ríki Haralds konungs hins hárfagra svo að engi fylkiskonungur þreifst í landinu né annað stórmenni nema hann réði einn nafnbótum þeirra. En er Ketill fréttir þetta, að Haraldur konungur hafði honum slíkan kost ætlað sem öðrum ríkismönnum, að hafa frændur sína óbætta en ger þó að leigumanni sjálfur, síðan stefnir hann þing við frændur sína og hóf svo mál sitt: “Kunnig hafa yður verið skipti vor Haralds konungs og þarf eigi þau að inna því að oss ber meiri nauðsyn til að ráða um vandkvæði þau er vér eigum fyrir höndum. Sannspurðan hefi eg fjandskap Haralds konungs til vor. Sýnist mér svo að vér munum eigi þaðan trausts bíða. Líst mér svo sem oss séu tveir kostir gervir, að flýja land eða vera drepnir hver í sínu rúmi. Er eg og þess fúsari að hafa slíkan dauðdaga sem frændur mínir en eigi vil eg yður leiða í svo mikið vandkvæði með einræði mínu því að mér er kunnigt skaplyndi frænda minna og vina, að þér viljið eigi við oss skiljast þótt mannraun sé í nokkur að fylgja mér.”
Björn son Ketils svarar: “Skjótt mun eg birta minn vilja. Eg vil gera að dæmum göfugra manna og flýja land þetta. Þykist eg ekki af því vaxa þótt eg bíði heiman þræla Haralds konungs og elti þeir oss af eignum vorum eða þiggja af þeim dauða með öllu.”
Að þessu var ger góður rómur og þótti þetta drengilega talað. Þetta ráð var bundið, að þeir mundu af landi fara því að synir Ketils fýstu þessa mjög en engi mælti í móti. Björn og Helgi vildu til Íslands fara því að þeir þóttust þaðan margt fýsilegt fregnt hafa, sögðu þar landskosti góða og þurfti ekki fé að kaupa. Kölluðu vera hvalrétt mikinn og laxveiðar en fiskastöð öllum misserum.
Ketill svarar: “Í þá veiðistöð kem eg aldregi á gamals aldri.”
Sagði Ketill þá sína ætlan, að hann var fúsari vestur um haf, kvaðst þar virðast gott. Voru honum þar víða lönd kunnig því að hann hafði þar víða herjað.

25.) Community Outreach Coordinator, Major League Sports “Tats for Brats” Youth Development Program, Cherry Hill, NJ
Are you dedicated? You are either dedicated or you’re not; there is no in between. Dedication is essential for success in anything, but especially in basketball. The game is so competitive, if you aren’t dedicated, you won’t make it.
The top professional players have covered their bodies with tattoos that symbolize their dedication, covering up their applicable weaknesses, and out-tatting their opponents. That is dedication. Today the young people of America look up to professional athletes, but may be confused about what ensemble of tattoos to get. Tats-for-Brats help youngsters select and obtain the right skin art to show other kids who is tough…and who is dedicated. Part of this job entails recruiting participants in “Tats for Brats.” The other part is shaming the other kids who do not enroll as being total dork losers. Kids without massive, intimidating tats just don’t fit in on the court, field, ice, or anywhere. Conduct special classes for obtaining parental consent for underage minors; using nipples as eyes for full-frontal animal faces; obtaining corporate sponsors for product placement; changing tattoos to resemble something else after you break up with your girlfriend; and cool slogans like “Death before dishonor,” “Ink Not Mink,” or “Mors Certa, Hora Incerta.”

*** A Baptist Preacher was seated next to a Sailor on a flight to Norfolk. After the plane took off, the flight attendant came by and asked what they would like to drink.
The Sailor ordered a whiskey.
When the flight attendant looked at him, the appalled preacher replied, “I’d rather be tied up and taken advantage of by women of ill-repute, than let liquor touch my lips.”
The Sailor handed his drink back to the attendant and said, “Me too. I didn’t know we had a choice.”
*** Little boy: Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be a Sailor.
Mom: Pick one or the other. You can’t do both, darling.
