Gmail has this funny advertising sidebar that must use the content of your emails to tailor the links featured. I normally just ignore it but lately it has had a few useful and/or interesting suggestions.
Email from Sarah about backing her car into a guy in a BMW:
- How to Get your Guy - MakeHimFallinLove.com/GetaGuy (because clearly wrecking his car is the ideal way to woo him)
- Decorative concrete (um...what?)
Message about trip to Cuba and Passports
- Pirate Murder Mystery (Fancy Dress Pirates in Cuba)
- Repair Any Outlook Error (Is Cuba the Solution?)
Salsa @ On the Rocks
- Chat about Pole Dancing (!!!)
Extended discussion with Sarah about logistics for our trip last weekend
- Shaw PVR (this was the most useful link, as well as one on scaphoid fractures)
- Buffy Scythe (???)
- Colorful Alpaca Yarn (That's fair, but I blame Sarah.)
Dinner plans with Kristy and Cory
- Lose 20 lbs in 3 weeks (I think this might be a commentary on our menu. Mmmm...Fondue...)
- Fat Belly? Lose Stomach! (Augh! I lost my stomach! Have you seen it?)
Invitation to a games night
- Tanzania Honeymoon (No. Ed. Mon. Ton. Much colder than Tanzania.)
- Wedding Favors - Golf Balls (Just no.)
- தமிழ கல்யாணம் (That's not a typo.)
Ultrasound photos
- used ultrasound equipment (Ooo! Now look at my armpit on the ultrasound machine!)
Invitation to an adult's birthday party at Chuck-e-cheese, fancy dress required
- www.e-kilts.com (e-kilts! hah!)
- Pirate Murder Mystery (Again!)
Girls night (with two boys) and snacks
$300 Nestle Survey (Clearly they are hitting their target market)
$75 Taco Bell Survey (Only 75 bucks? Pfah! I'm hitting the Nestle one again!)
Could they be scams? Hmm...Let's put the meat of the url into google...hey! The suggested search is for scams! It must be legit.
I'll bet that the creator of GoogleAds (or whatever) wasn't expecting me to get this kind of entertainment value out of them.
Le sigh. I need to get out more.

I decided to pull out of my field hockey team at the christmas mid season break to concentrate on the Tri stuff.... shouldn't have bothered as it was doing some tri training when i broke the darn poxy bone! Should have stuck to the hockey!!!! Hope your hand isn't suffering too much on the cold - well at least the cast is blue!! ;o)
