google swap

so as a blogger i was blessed with the chance to be a beta user of the new google email service, gmail. i'm sure i could have thought of some kickass name, but was feeling none to creative when i signed up and just took brendanjackson@gmail.com. what i didn't realize until today is how badly people want to be gmail beta users, and the fact that as a beta user you get to invite to friends two friends to join, and that there is a site where people will swap there wares with you for an invite. there has been some funky offers. . .

so, after much soul searching i have traded my two invites away for 4 chicken fried steaks with gravy (homemade, frozen, and fedexed in a cooler with dried ice from texas) and a bottle of 12 year old scotch. . . what a deal. . .

in my rooting around and checking out the swap site i came across some other interesting things, like a site that has all the south park episodes from every season - www.mrtwig.net, and a site that makes customized joke receipts, like the one below(find the site here):

god i love the internet . . .
