Test your IQ. Shopping IQ that is.
I got a 133.
You scored 133
You are at the top of the class when it comes to shopping - you have a great eye for a bargain and always try the latest fashions and brands. You are a single-minded shopper, knowing just want you want and you won’t be tempted to buy products just because they’re on special offer. You know exactly what shops to go to but you’ll always look around to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
I wouldn’t have thought this was possible. Pretty amazing trick.

OKRA Dec 22 - Jan 20
Although you appear crude, you are actually very slick on the inside. Okra have tremendous influence. An older Okra can look back over his life and see the seeds of his influence everywhere. Stay away from Moon Pies.
CHITLIN Jan 21 - Feb 19
Chitlins often come from humble backgrounds. Many times they’re uncomfortable talking about just where they came from. A chitlin, however, can make something of himself if he’s motivated and has plenty of seasoning. When it comes to dealing with Chitlins, be very careful. Chitlins can burn and then erupt like Vesuvius, and this can make for a really terrible mess. Chitlins are best with Catfish and Okra. Remember that when marriage time rolls around.
BOLL WEEVIL Feb 20 - Mar 20
You have an overwhelming curiosity. You’re unsatisfied with the surface of things, and you feel the need to bore deep into the interior of everything. Needless to say, you are very intense and driven as if you had some inner hunger. Nobody in their right mind is going to marry you, so don’t worry about it.
MOON PIE Mar 21 - Apr 20
You’re the type that spends a lot of time on the front porch. It’s a cinch to recognize the physical appearance of Moon Pies. “Big” and “round” are the key words here. You should marry anybody who you can get remotely interested in the idea. It’s not going to be easy. This might be the year to think about aerobics. Maybe not.
POSSUM Apr 21 - May 21
When confronted with life’s difficulties, possums have a marked tendency to withdraw and develop a “don’t - bother - me - about - it” attitude. Sometimes you become so withdrawn, people actually think you’re dead. This strategy is probably not psychologically healthy, but seems to work for you. One day, however, it won’t work, and you may find your problems actually running you over.
CRAWFISH May 22 - Jun 21
Crawfish is a water sign. If you work in an office, you’re always hanging around the water cooler. Crawfish prefer the beach to the mountains, the pool to the golf course, the bathtub to the living room. You tend not to be particularly attractive physically, but you have very, very good heads.
COLLARDS Jun 22- Jul 23
Collards have a genius for communication. They love to get in the “melting pot” of life and share their essence with the essences of those around them. Collards make good social workers, psychologists, and baseball managers. As far as your personal life goes, if you are Collards, stay away from Moon Pies. It just won’t work. Save yourself a lot of heartache.
CATFISH Jul 24 - Aug 23
Catfish are traditionalists in matters of the heart, with one exception: Whiskers may cause problems for loved ones. You catfish are never easy people to understand. You prefer the muddy bottoms to the clear surface of life. Above all else, Catfish should stay away from Moon Pies.
GRITS Aug 24 - Sep 23
Your highest aim is to be with others like yourself. You like to huddle together with a big crowd of other Grits. You love to travel, though, so maybe you should think about joining a club. Where do you like to go? Anywhere they have cheese or gravy or bacon or butter or eggs. If you can go somewhere where they have all these things, that serves you well.
BOILED PEANUTS Sep 24 - Oct 23
You have a passionate desire to help your fellow man. Unfortunately, those who know you best - your friends and loved ones - may find that your personality is much too salty, and their criticism will probably affect you deeply because you are really much softer than you appear. You should go right ahead and marry anybody you want to because in a certain way, yours is a charmed life. On the road of life, you can be sure that people will always pull over and stop for you.
BUTTER BEAN Oct 24 - Nov 22
Always invite a Butter Bean because Butter Beans get along well with everybody. You, as a Butter Bean, should be proud. You’ve grown on the vine of life and you feel at home no matter what the setting. You can sit next to anybody. However, you, too, shouldn’t have anything to do with Moon Pies.
ARMADILLO Nov 23 - Dec 21
You have a tendency to develop a tough exterior, but you are actually quite gentle. A good evening for you? Old friends, a fire, some roots, fruit, worms and insects. You are a throwback. You’re not concerned with today’s fashions and trends. You’re not concerned with anything about today. You’re really almost prehistoric in your interests and behavior patterns. You probably want to marry another Armadillo, but Possum is another, somewhat kinky, mating possibility
GMail Drive 1.05

Creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.
GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.
GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag’n'drop files to.
Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again.
When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.
You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag’n'drop like you’re used to with the normal Explorer folders.
Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters in the subject) to your archived mail folder.
Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There’s still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 40 characters). Since the tool hooks up with the free GMail Service provided by Google, changes in the GMail system may break the tools ability to function. I cannot guarantee that files stored in this manner will be accessible in the future.

This adds a delete button to gmail. It is a compiled greasemonkey script and is also available as a script. Nice.
The PBS program Religion & Ethics will be presenting a two part show on what they call the Emerging Church. Others call it the po-mo (or post-modern) church. One show this weekend and one next weekend. There is an extended interview with Rev. Brian McLaren, the pastor of the Spencerville, MD church Mrs. Skank and I visited while vacationing with Skankred and family.
This should be a great program. McLaren and his ilk are rethinking church and trying to relate religion to modern life and especially those under 35.
The new skank-in-law came for dinner last night. Since she does not like spicy food I had to take a break from the All Mexican Food All the Time Fiesta. After dinner we watched Thoroughly Modern Millie. She played piano for me for an hour as I worked on my puter. It was a pleasant evening but it’s back to Fiesta today.
Gay marriage has recently been approved in Spain and will be shortly in Canada. Yesterday the United Church of Christ, a mainline portestant church with 1.3 million members went on record in favor of gay marriage. Very little buzz about their decision, perhaps due to the holiday?
I wasn’t very ambitious on the holiday. I cooked breakfast for skankson #2, his fiancee, and skanksdottir. I watched Monkey Business, one of the all-time great comedies. I love the scene where Chico is being tried for treason. Lunch was leftover Mexican food except for skankson #2 and fiancee who had leftover bratwurst. At 1:00 I gave a presentation on several patriotic songs and the U.S. flag at a retirement center that the soon-to-be mrs. skankson #2 works at. Then it was back home to three Pink Panther movies (my dad’s day gift from the aforementioned little skanks). Along the way I grilled steaks and boiled up some corn on the cob for dinner. After dinner the milwaukee member of the family headed south. I and the in-law-to-be took Maeve to the bridge to watch the fireworks.
