Day 54 - purple bead hoops

This is becoming a theme now: I wear these often, really like them, I don't know where I got them or when, blah blah blah.

So instead of trying to come up with something entertaining about these I will relate something entertaining that I learned today. When my colleague tried to search for "ausgame guide" on the company social network today (we use some games that were developed in Australia, hence the name), the perspicacious search engine inquired whether she had in fact meant to search for "sausage guide", 

Since I was pretty much on the verge of hysteria at that point, it being a Friday afternoon after all, this amused me far more than it should and led me to Google that very phrase. In a flash of forethought I used my phone for this rather than my work computer, suspecting that Google might return something NSFW.

In fact, the returned hits were surprisingly legit and indeed the first result was a Sausage Glossary (which we were shocked to discover completely omitted any reference to boerewors). A little exploration of that site revealed my fun new feel-good fact for the day: there is in existence in the world (OK, America, but still) the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. I kid you not. And that's not even the best part. The president of that council, one Janet Riley, has the honour to be dubbed the Queen of Wien.

Sometimes when the world is full of horrible things and horrible people and you think you don't really want to live on this planet any more, just take a step back and remember that, yes, there is crapness, but there is also stuff that is just pure gold. Or maybe I just have the sense of humour of a 12-year-old boy.
