More Knitting Thoughts

So, I’m going through my various bookmarks, looking for someplace that’ll tell me how to knit a horseshoe cable (basically: cable to the back & then immediately cable to the front – no big deal). So, I end up just googling for it, and end up on DIYNetwork. And, if I want to get a good look at the pictures (which I do, ’cause the descriptions suck, as usual with anything to do with knitting), I have to turn off my popup blocker. And of course, upon refreshing the page I get a pop-up ad. From the University of Phoenix.

Now, I don’t know about you, but would you want to go get a degree from a place which advertised via pop-up ads?

My new red-heart yarn is on its way … from someplace called Wyoming, MI. I believe that this is the place which maintains that alternate dimension in which everything from the 1970’s is kept, alongside of the as-seen-on-TV warehouses. Billy-the-bearded-buffoon who sells everything seen on TV probably lives there. Be afraid.

To work with me, I suppose. Sigh.

  1. What IS it with infomercial culture and Bad Billys? Billy Blanks… Billy the Bearded Buffoon… Also, I really would like to talk to the states who name CITIES after other STATES. Some vast confusion on the plains while settlers were arriving, no doubt.

    I actually had to CALL the University of Phoenix because, for some reason right after I’d finished my MFA, I started getting mailers from them. With my NAME on them.

    Uh, no.
