Just Because
Just because.
Not everything has to have a reason.

I Didn’t Know What Chocodiles Were Until Hostess Went Bankrupt
It’s odd, I didn’t know what Chocodiles were until Hostess went bankrupt. It was only when stores were running out, before the brand got purchased and restarted, that I actually ran into them. Before that, I’d only briefly heard of them on American Dad, and that was the first I remember hearing about them.
American Dad was about the only animated gifs I found for Chocodiles too.
Roger Smith: By the way, Hayley, oh my God, these Chocodiles, these Chocodiles, Hayley, oh my God, these Chocodiles!
They’re just Twinkies covered in chocolate. I found the Twinkie inside ends up kind of stale, which I didn’t know Twinkies could do.

Facebook: Please Learn When I’ve Already Used You To Wish People A Happy Birthday
Facebook: please learn when I’ve already used you to wish people a happy birthday. ‘Kay. Thanks.
I admit, I rely on Facebook’s birthday reminders to remember a lot of people’s birthdays. I do tend to wish more people a happy birthday as a result of the reminders and I actually appreciate getting them. I also don’t mind a notification popping up if I’ve missed wishing people on the reminder list a happy birthday. However, the reminder about the day’s list often pops up after I’ve already used the list to send my wishes.
The list even already shows that this has been done.
If so, why send me that notification? I get more notifications than I can handle anyway…why not cut one they know is useless? It already knows I sent wishes…why not determine therefore to skip the notification.
They don’t do that.
Seriously, it takes a lot to keep up with everything on social media. I can use every hand they can give me. A notification about this that their system already knows is redundant doesn’t lead to any potential revenue for them…so why not cut it out?
Sincerely, a pointless complainer.

Who The Heck Is Ordering All These Walk In Bathtubs From Emails?
Who the heck is ordering all these walk in bathtubs from emails? There must be a ton of people doing it, because it’s one of the most common spam emails I get, that and the tactical flashlight. Who is ordering these though? I have to think the demographic for walk in bathtubs include mainly the elderly, but I didn’t think they bought that much stuff via email, particularly home remodeling kind of things. Who is the market? There has to be one.
It just doesn’t make much sense to me.

Your Surreal Moment Of The Day
Now for your surreal moment of the day. I wondered what would turn up if I searched “bobcat hot dog animated gif” on Google images. This is what I got:
I don’t know why an image from Nothing But Trouble came up, but there we go. Definitely an odd role for Dan Aykroyd.

This Is The Only Reason I’ll Ever Want To Get Headboards And Footboards For My Bed
This is the only reason I’ll ever want to get headboards and footboards for my bed.
Gotta have a bedknob for when I learn magic, which I’m certainly holding out for.
Aren’t I an adult?

This Is How I Think Of Mel Gibson Now
Isn’t it funny how something can totally overshadow something else related in our thoughts? This is how I think of Mel Gibson now.
Permanently.
