What can I say? I am amazed buy the whole series of events leading up to Harpy number 10. Pia is her name and this beautiful women runs her own site called PJKNFHHJK. She found my site on the Internet and she also does a variation of the Harpy idea. And she is very modest about her site, I think it looks fine. So there is no reason you don’t go and look at her site because she provides more info on what the mythical harpies are than what I cover in the definition scanned up top.

Pia works for a company called Edita Ltd. They are among the ten largest companies in the Finnish graphic arts industry, covering everything from printing and publishing to Internet related ventures. For enjoyment Pia likes going to the gym, bicycling, swimming, ballroom dancing, and Usenet newsgroups. She also likes to roam the woods picking mushrooms.

Pia went to college and has learned to use the web herself. Again I’ll plug her site, its really cool. With a very effective layout. Now all she needs to do is translate some more of it into English for us people who only speak one language. Even all of this hasn’t stopped her from starting a family.

So there you have it. I am honored that she was willing to be harpy number 10. Now everyone go to her site!

Free Surfer is the download of the day. I have been meaning to put this up for a long time and just keep forgetting. Free Surfer is a free pop up window killer. It’s the best I’ve tried. It kills all the pop up and under adds my site generates.

You can get this here. The download is 1.66MB. It really is a great program.

You have to love the Beloit Daily News. The article called Sand Fest called a success was a news item I found interesting. Here is my favorite bit from this particular informative nugget:

Trent Isely, of South Beloit, said he and wife, Bobbi, and children Alex, 4, and Ian, 1, have been coming to the parade for more than 20 years.

“I think South Beloit needs something like this,” Isely said. “It’s tradition. Everyone should support it. It gives great exposure to the community.”

Trent, that kills me. Man those Daily News goons couldn’t report their way out of a wet paper bag.

A Fictional Harpy what can I say? It was bound to happen. If you have seen the X-Files movie the you saw the way Scully takes charge in the building that has the bomb, you know she belongs here. Shit if Turk can post Monica I can have Scully.

Besides being sexier than hell, Scully has brains and that is something I think is important. And the only time I can watch an autopsy is when Scully does one.

Personally I think her and Mulder just need to get it over with. Its driving me crazy. I just like the way her name sounds. Scully. Scully. Scully. At my count we have two redheads, two blondes, and the rest brunettes. We have one more Harpy to go and then it Harpy of the year and that’s all she wrote. Turk wanted more participation from the crowd. Oh well.

Have I ever mentioned the fact I hate the whole business/sports metaphor? I may have mentioned this before. Back when the jackass before “The Dude” was here and his what seemed like endless spewing of football metaphors. TOUCHDOWN and Liars In The News are good examples of what I’m talking about. Here is the latest one:

“..everyone who is currently employed at the hotel will have the opportunity to join my team..”

I just don’t like the wording there. The opportunity? Well I’m sorry to inform you of this. But if you want an Audit team, your going to have to join my team. I’m not joining any more teams. In fact the last team I joined was the high school football team. Ok?

Or for that matter you may have the opportunity to keep me hired. But then that’s your prerogative. There is a lot of opportunities. You just have to know where to look.

First and fore-most let me say one more time I do not mean this as an insult (except maybe for Monica). This is my way of saying I have met some pretty extraordinary women in my life up to now. And it has been a honor just to know them. I re state this first because number twelve is married and I don’t want any lawsuits or threats on my life because of this. Second I figure I should state for the record my stance on the whole Harpy thing.

I worked this lovely lady at the hotel up until the 28th of November. She has been at the hotel for ages. She was the only person I could truly talk to who would listen and offer her honest advice/opinion on things. I will miss her. Its been a honor working with her. I hope she continues to check out the page and I wish the best.

For the record, I never doubted that you had any thing to do with my departure. Sometimes one has to bluff to get to the bottom of things. I have learned the art of deception and have become a master at it.

This was requested, so I figured it was about time to bring the whole harpy thing back to life. That and I got sick of seeing the default page that comes up when you click on Harpy World over on the left in the contents.

Harpy 13 is an old friend and a relative. Harpy 13 fits the description up top. That is she can be a scolding, nagging, bad-tempered woman. Sometimes. The other times she is a great person to know.

And I’m glad that I do know her. Harpy 13 also worked at the hotel. She was there back when I got fired. She even warned me to the fact I was going to get the ax. I of course wanted to get fired so I ignored her warning.

Her and the Hubby both were there when all kinds of shit happened. Offering advice when asked. The both of them are good people and back when the shit was going down I glad I knew them. Of course I didn’t always follow the advice that was given, but that was my fault.

So you asked for Johnson and you got it.
