High Resolution

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in.
A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” - Bill Vaughn

“New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot.
Unless, of course, those tests come back positive” - Jay Leno

“New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly,
provided this does not encourage them to take up
more of my time.” - James Agate

“People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas
and the New Year, but they really should be worried about
what they eat between the New Year and Christmas” - Anonymous

“The proper behavior all through the holiday season
is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates
on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss
the person you're married to.” - PJ O'Rourke

“Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual
good resolutions. Next week you can begin
paving Hell with them as usual.” - Mark Twain

“Happiness is too many things these days for anyone
to wish on anyone lightly. So let's just wish each other
a bileless New Year and leave it at that.” - Judith Crist

"What's Christmas to you but a time for finding yourself a year
older but not one penny richer?" - Ebenezer Scrooge
(Sure, the pre-graveyard Scrooge is not exactly the best role model for one's life,
but the old capitalist kinda nailed my situation on this one.)

Google ads are selected by some computer application which searches the text of a Web page and then choosing ads related to the terms found in the text. Because of two recent posts, Google ads seems to think this Weblog is about cancer. (Damn, I just used the word again!)

Over time that impression will fade, but now I'm thinking seriously of throwing in random bizarre words just to see what kind of ads I get.

Now that I think about it, the most commonly used word on this Weblog may well be "random." What kind of ads would that get me?
