honestly....

Did a search for "Climb Inside My World" the Ren & Stimpy Belly Button Song and some guy had it but w/ the lyrics transcribed a bit wrong... I have this on my mp3 player, so pretty sure it goes as follows:

Rainbow cinnamon gumdrop,
Lemon and purple people are a plastic mystery,
Dayglo bubblegum porkchop,
Lilac lady will go down in history.

(Chorus)
Climb inside my world,
Climb inside my belly button bean-bag plastic world!

Bean-cheese bell bottom mind games,
Pigpen Henry drinks his prune juice everyday,
Tie-dye businessmen snowflake,
Rubber man bouncing down a mushroom gravy highway.

Climb inside my world,
Climb inside my belly button bean-bag plastic world!

Saffron teabag perogi,
Parsley panda has a pepperoni pocket comb,
Pipebag dripped with lasagne,
Meatloaf monkey drives a moon-beam motor home.

Climb inside my world,
Climb inside my belly button bean-bag plastic world!

pretty obscure song... from the last season of Ren & Stimpy when most of the shows weren't worth watching as they'd long since kicked John K. to the curb and used up all his scripts. This was a random episode featuring Gilbert Gottfried as 'Jerry the Bellybutton Elf' (aka Bathornos, Lord of Chaos) that is just bizarre. Song is a trip too.

Thanks Fedex

FedEx Ground did a good one on me. Was kind of amusing... I knew the package was out on the truck to be delivered, and towards the end of the day when I figured it should have arrived, I double-checked tracking to find that it had already been delivered. Eh? wtf?! I checked out front to see if it had been left there. Nope. Came back in and checked the delivery info and even got to see the digitized signature of whomever had my nifty new pc. When I called Fedex, they told me oh yeah it had been delivered at such and such time to such and such place.

"Interesting you delivered it there" says I "considering that doesn't really match the address it was sent to."

"Hmm..."

I got a phone call first thing the next morning from the local manager apologizing and promising to track down the package. I let him and Dell know that I had no intention of accepting an open package should they recover it from the errant recipient.

To Dell's credit, they got a replacement built and overnighted out to me in just over a week. Considering it's the holiday season, that's not bad turnaround for a problem that wasn't their fault. The new machine smokes too.
