Who Is Imogen Gray? - A Leap Year Day Mystery

Update: I'm not sure if I just completely missed the boat or if something has changed, but the name on the email is Imogen Reed, not Imogen Gray. Weird. There is, of course, an easy way to answer that question. It involves replying to an email. There is also a hard way. I'm choosing the latter, due to my desire to fill some space and amuse myself. I received an email today from someone calling themselves Imogen Gray. First off, nice name. With a name like that, you have to become a writer, a porn star, the editor of an underground blog about your favorite aboveground parking lot band (it's like a garage band, only you've probably never heard of it because you're old), or take on an alter-ego as a supervillain intent on destroying the world. Note: I'm going to refer to this person as a woman in the rest of this piece because it gets all awkward otherwise. Here's the text of the email from imogen@linegray.com, with the subject "Professional C

The Snowblower That Ate the Internet: SOLD.

When I posted my little ad on Kijiji on Wednesday morning, all I wanted to do was sell my snowblower. I thought if I was a little creative and maybe a little funny, I'd be able to set my ad apart from all the other snowblower ads on the site. Little did I know what I was in for. Although it was my ad and my snowblower, the phenomenon itself I think belongs to the Internet. The only thing I can take ownership of are the folks who reached out to me to tell me that I gave them a laugh (to whom I have invariably responded "You owe me $1 for the laugh. Find me on PayPal."). I'm kind of a data guy in my regular life (i.e. the part of my life that currently allows me the freedom to not live in my parents' basement), so here are some numbers that I just worked out: As of when I started writing this post, my ad has been viewed 342,465 times on Kijiji. There are 48,574 people linking to it on Facebook. It has been up for a total of 103 hours, 8 minutes. It ha

Writing prompt - I can't believe I have to point this out

"You're not going to believe this, but my dang ferrets chewed through my iPhone cable!" "Oh, that sucks. How's it look?" "They literally chewed the cover off the cable." "If they just chewed the cover off, you might still be able to use it." "You think? Hold on, I'll send you a pic." ... "Let me know when you get it." "Got it. Wow, they really what the hell is that Denise?!" "It's bad isn't it? Damn it. I'm going to have to drive all the way back to the mall to get one." "Denise. Forget the cable, what is that on your feet!" "What?" "I swear to god, what is wrong with you? How many times do I have to tell you: Sandals are not slippers!"
