LoC Fun Facts

Some time in the last few days, LoC rolled out it's 2000th label. Currently there are 2006, including today's newest: The Dumbshine State. In a Word document in 8-point font, the list is 35 pages long.

Fungster said...: So we're closing in on 4000 posts, and we have 2000 labels? How unprecise of us. We should probably have an awards show for our labels - most used label, most innovative label, best use of a label (funny, serious and puzzled, sad categories), most bushian label (non bushian, dumbya categories), and so forth. We could come up with as many categories as labels, but I'm sure Fung needs a Suga Mommie will rack up the most awards.; September 8, 2008 at 12:28 PM

Smiff said...: Perhaps Fung can invent a "Label Widget" and we can see the number as they get added???; September 8, 2008 at 12:41 PM
Smiff said...: 90 brain dead labels and at least 30 about Smiff...; September 8, 2008 at 12:49 PM
Fungster said...: I'm an IT Manager, not a programmer. I can't write the code, I only make sure your computer works while you do it.; September 8, 2008 at 12:54 PM
Smiff said...: Add "IT Manager" to the list of things that ain't what they used to be.; September 8, 2008 at 1:02 PM
Fungster said...: When did Information Technologies Manager = Programmer? When exactly? We have a word for people that write code: Programmers. Not IT Managers. You should know. You're a Libratorr. It is your purpose to know such things, or to know where to find them out anyway.

So add Libratorr to the list of things that ain't what they used to be.; September 8, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Corms said...: It's funny that our most commented on post in ages is a post about the LoC.; September 8, 2008 at 2:15 PM
k-mad said...: LoC: Now with 33% more self-absorbency.; September 8, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Briggs said...: I guess being an IT manager is kind of like being a community organizer, except you actually can't write the code.; September 9, 2008 at 3:04 AM

A lotta people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a buncha unconnected incidences and things. They don't realize that there's this like lattice of coincidence that lays on top of everything. I'll give ya an example, show ya what I mean. Suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. Suddenly somebody will say like, "plate" -- or "shrimp" -- or "plate of shrimp" -- out of the blue, no explanation. No point looking for one either. It's all part of a cosmic unconsciousness.

"You know the way everybody's into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about Bermuda Triangles, UFOs, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing? Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There ain't no difference between a flying saucer and a time machine.... People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. In South America, thousands of people go missing every year. Nobody knows where they go. They just like disappear. But if you think about it for a minute, you realize something: there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well, where did all these people come from? Hmm? I'll tell you where: the future. Where did all these people disappear to: hmmm? the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really... yeah, you got it! Time machines!"
