Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Monday, November 13, 2006 22 Of Your Sparks

"FOOL ME AGAIN"
"OOPS...I DID IT AGAIN"
"TELL ME WHY"
"SEE ME SEE YOU"
Well on this Tuesday, we will do some bookkeeping and then introduce you to the people who sit on THE COUCH...
"FOOL ME AGAIN"
Starting right off with an acknowledgement that the photo we posted of the jets forming USA in the sky. Well that is Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX.

The building they are flying over is called the Taj Mahal.

It is very impressive...

BUT, it is a fake!

After posting, THE COUCH kept looking at it and wondering and last evening, Brother Rich of FAVORITE OFFICE TIME WASTERS confirmed it.

He is the best at tracking down whether something is true or false using the website snopes.com.

If you have never been to snopes it is the tops in proving or debunking urban legends. If you get that email telling you that Bill Gates is going to give you a dollar for every email you send...off to snopes.com and you can check it out.

Was that picture you received showing you an incredible feat real?...off to snopes.com and you can check it out - JEEZE you would think THE COUCH would have done it!

You can see their explanation of the photo HERE.

THE COUCH hates it when that happens!

Sorry Julie!
"OOPS...I DID IT AGAIN"
One of our links under the THURSDAY THIRTEENER'S contacted us yesterday and informed us that THE COUCH performed a sexual reassignment surgery on them.

SWEET LITTLE KITTY is not John, a male, from Germany, but Sonny, a female, from Germany.

Sonny, in our haste to get all our new friends listed, we, ah...sorta made a mistake... oops!

The error has been corrected!
"TELL ME WHY"
TOPCHAMP, who writes "Bad Jokes And Oven Chips" another of our THURSDAY THIRTEENERS, asked about one of our sign-offs. "Find An Opportunity To Pay It Forward."

TC, it is based on the idea that if someone does a kindness to you, instead of returning the kindness to that person, you Pay It Forward to another person, thus keeping the kindness moving through humanity.

There was a movie with Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Haley Joel Osment. The movie is from a book written by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

There was also a Pay It Forward Foundation which Ms. Hyde began to bring the idea to schools, but at this time, the website seems to no longer exist, nor does her personal website.

You can read more about Ms. Hyde HERE.

You can also read THE COUCH's posting where this sign-off came from HERE.
"SEE ME SEE YOU"
THE COUCH added a new visitor counter last week, which is much better then the one we originally began with (and which is still there- though THE COUCH can't tell you why - we hate to throw things away!)

We are talking about the one from Blogcontrol.com, which shows how many unique visitors have sat on THE COUCH since we hooked it up on Thurday, November 9th.

The cool thing aboout this counter, is it gives you all sorts of stats about the visitors to THE COUCH.

Last evening, we went investigating to see what we could find about all of you wonderful people.

All of these statistics are basically from Friday on...Here is who YOU spend time with on THE COUCH:

We have had a total of 168 unique guests
These 168 have hit the page 377 times
Friday we had 40
Saturday we had 37 a decrease of 8% (Many know THE COUCH rests on the weekend, though we announced a special Veteran's Day posting)
Sunday we had 27 - a 27% decrease (see note above)
Monday we zoomed to 51 an 89% increase.

Times our visitors sit: (an average since Friday)- Central Time
12am - 1.8%
1am - 1.2%
3am - 0%
 4am - 2.4%
5am - 1.8%
6am - 3.0%
7am - 5.4%
8am - 6.0%
9am - 7.2%
10am - 1.8%
11am - 2.4%
12pm - 5.4%
1pm - 9.6%
2pm - 7.2%
3pm - 6.6%
4pm - 9.0%
5pm - 6.0%
6pm - 4.8%
7pm - 5.4%
8pm - 4.8%
9pm - 3.0%
10pm - 1.8%
11pm - 3.0%
Interesting spread throughout the day, but THE COUCH wants to know - where the heck is everyone at 3;00am!?! hehehe

The top 5 referarals (how y'all get here):
73 from a bookmark
17 from Google search (more on this later)
11 from THE COUCH's profile on Blogger. (Guess it is my cute face that draws them close!)
8 from Brother Rich's Favorite Office Timewasters (Thanks Bro!)
8 from the blog of our friend at Peggy As She Is (Thanks Peggy!)

Our last 10 visitors also included folks who found THE COUCH at TopChamps blog and Twyla's blog - "Lost In The Battle."

Now this is where it gets fun...People doing web searchs have found THE COUCH by searching for these top 10 keywords: (this is not a joke folks - try it out yourselves)
3 - bondsbigleather couch (well that makes sense)
1 - ABB Ask the Couch (#1 on Google search)
1 - Lenny Dykstra and lectures on steroid use (# 4 on a Google Search)
1 - home made leather oil for couch, how to care for leather couch (#8 on a Google Search)
1 - scratch in leather couch (#37 on a Yahoo search)
1 - reupholstering couch, what kind of leather to buy (#4 in a Google search)
1 - big leather couch (#31 on a yahoo search - #31!?!? get with it Yahoo!)
1 - "Barium studies' + "airline security" (#17 on a Google search)
1 - jenisa washington, cancer (#2 on a Google search)

Some of these come up because there are the same words, but not the same phrases, but it really amused us that people have actually searched for things, gotten results and were curious enough to come here.

We have also been visited because people search for:
Greg Allman, The Thrill is Gone (#8 on a Google search) This is a funny one to us, since we did that posting of videos and happened to have an Allman Brothers and a B.B. King one...what are the odds!!

108 of you are from the USA
11 are from Canada
4 from Germany
2 from the Philippines
1 from Sweden
1 from Belgium
The map shows many more countries, but those visitors are prior to Friday and it does not appear they have returned yet - boo hoo! lol

131 use Windows XP
17 use Macintosh (wooo!)
15 use Windows 2000
4 use Windows 98
Time for some upgrades here folks.

103 use MS Internet Explorer 6
36 use Firefox
14 use Netscape Navigator 7.x
9 use Internet Explorer 7
3 use Firefox 1.0
2 use Opera 9.x
Time for some upgrades there also.

THE COUCH wants you to know that Firefox is a much more stable, more secure browser then IE... check it out HERE.

We will relook at this in a month or so, and note the differences.
THE COUCH loves all the company... now everyone say hello to your neighbors on THE COUCH...

Tuesday Tid-bits

Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Tuesday, April 25, 2006 0 Of Your Sparks

Feeling better today, but still have this weird inkling in the back of my brain from that unremembered dream…very strange…

So, now comes a cab driver that is ready to testify that he picked up one of the two indicted Duke Lacrosse players a half hour or so before the attack is to of occurred. At the same time, the other dancer is not changing her story. It appears that maybe many jumped to judgment too fast on this one. If they find the attack never happened, the young woman needs to be jailed for false police report. If the attack did happen, those responsible must be jailed for their actions. I just want the truth to come out is all…


Ah, Florida…sunshine, Disney, oceans, sand, oranges and free breast exams???
It seems that a Coconut Grove senior was going door-to-door carrying a black bag, claiming to be a doctor and offering free breast exams. Police arrested Philip Winikoff and booked him with sexually assaulting two =women who accepted his offer and let him into their homes. One of the women became suspicious after she was asked to remove all her clothes and Winikoff began the exam without donning rubber gloves. Well...can you blame this guy... his real job is driving a shuttle bus for an auto dealer. I guess after being the driver he wanted to drive her…


So, Tom and Katie have their new addition home and now Tom can begin his promotional tour for his new movie MI:III. Beautiful baby girl named Suri, which means princess in Hebrew and rose in Persian or Farsi according to Cruise’s publicist…ummmmmmmmmmmmm…OOPS! Professor Hooshang Amirahmadi, director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Rutgers University begs to differ with the Cruise/Holmes and their publicist. “In Farsi, it means red, like a fiery color but there is no such thing as ‘Suri’ that means ‘red rose’." He added the word could also mean “a party or celebration.”
Avshalom Kor, an expert on the intricacies of the Hebrew language, told Israel’s Army Radio there is a tenuous connection. Kor said ‘Suri’ is a nickname for Sarah as pronounced by Jews from Central Europe. In ancient Hebrew, Sarah is the feminine form of the word for lord.
In India, ‘Suri’ is more likely to be a boy’s name then a girl’s name. It comes from the Sanskrit word for “sun” and is an epithet for the Hindu god Krishna.
But Tom said it means rose or princess… and man, you can’t argue with him…I mean, look, he almost shut down “South Park” and chef left the show and the Scientologists know more than anyone and …what? What? … oh sorry…tell Mr. Cruise I will stop now…


Well, we all know that our relationship with China has been rocky at best and there are many things we need to work on before we can truly begin a relationship with this country. Leave it to the Bush White House to make things more difficult…When Chinese President Hu Jintao visited the White House last week; the announcer said, “ Ladies and gentlemen, the national anthem of the Republic of China, followed by the national anthem of the United States of America.” OK, well that is great except, Hu is from “the People’s Republic of China.” The Republic of China??? Oh, that is the formal name of that tiny little country called Taiwan. Only in Bush’s America kiddies….


Well tonight the final 6 take on the “Great American Love Songs” on American Idol. The word on song spoilers has been almost non-existent this week. Can’t even begin to imagine what the list of songs, given to the contestants to choose from, looked like. Mini-rumors have Taylor Hicks either going with “You Are So Beautiful”, the Joe Cocker hit, or with the Ray Charles standard “Georgia On My Mind.” Georgia would be a knockout slam-dunk for Taylor who sings this with his group. The only unfortunate part would be that he only gets to sing a shortened version and not his tremendous complete version.

We’ll be back with our entire review tomorrow… stay tuned kiddies…
