What??

Noooo.

Apparently, this is because of the words "crack" (used 4 times), "hell" (used 3 times), "dead" (used twice) and "stab" (once). So if I said "After taking a stab at climbing that wicked crack, I was dead tired, so I took off my shoes 'cause they hurt like hell", that would make it extra NC-17?

Get your own ridiculous results here!

An overheard (from a co-worker, quoting her policewoman roommate):
"Roaches are the worst! Give me a crack whore with a bad attitude any day!"

Oops, that makes SIX uses of the word "crack"! Oh no! SEVEN!!!

I figured that the conversation had evolved enough to make this a post of its own:

Every now and again at work, this question comes up. Say you are given a resume for a person you will be interviewing. Is it okay to do a Google search on that person before the interview? How about after? Does it depend on the success of the interview? What if the panel that interviewed this candidate can't agree on whether to hire or not?

My opinion later. :)

Zandperl tipped me off to this:

www.pandora.com

It's a cool personalized web-radio that you can train! And - it's free. WOW. I was going to say "I'm loving it", but that's the McDonald's slogan, which makes me feel queasy, which is not at all how I feel about Pandora. I love the Pandora. I love it good.

I'm going to break with tradition and throw a question out to y'all (yes, all three of y'all). Do you have any favorite mementos or keepsakes? What makes them your favorite? Are there any events in your life from which you wish you had a keepsake, but don't? Are keepsakes worth keeping if they just live in a box and collect dust? Do you feel that having mementos can sometimes cheapen the actual memory of an event?

(The motivation for the last question is this: A few years after I graduated from high school, our choir teacher asked our other choir teacher to marry him. He found a beautiful outdoor spot and spent the day moving the furniture from his living room out there. After setting up the outdoor room, he brought her out for dinner, wine, and dancing, and popped the question. They took no photos of the setup or the event, because they wanted to simply have the memory live in their own two minds, and nowhere else. I've always thought that was sweet, but I also have some ascetic tendencies that this story appeals to.)
