Update: Beautiful Jessie has come home! And: What we learned about lost/found animals
My pleasure, Daniels. But if it hadn't been for your blog, I'd never have known anything about it, sitting way up here in NorCal. Nice work, you. :) Cuddle, nan, Grant, she's HOME!— March 12, 2010 7:08 a.m.
Morbid Curiosity
*sigh* Timing is everything. Can't believe I just wasted this link on another, far less appropriate blog. http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/100-year-old-ch… GOD (inhaling & holding): "Let's see...I haven't done anything really effed up lately..." *waps horn on old woman's head and passes out laughing*— March 11, 2010 10:50 p.m.
Satire Saunters into the Reader! A word on Walter Mencken’s February 24 installment of “S.D. on the Q.T.”
"...will remember an introduction to the concept of satire via Jonathan Swift’s “Tale of a Tub” or “A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People in Ireland Being a Burden to Their Parents or Country, and for Making Them Beneficial to the Public.” I sure do. Most of the college students in my lit class didn't get it. They were just as outraged as some of the folks who commented on that QT piece. My classmates "thought" Swift was insane, and looked at me like I was Satan because I was laughing my ass off. Oh hey, speaking of Satan, it's time for an OT moment: http://www.odditycentral.com/pics/100-year-old-ch… Kidding, of course. Poor thing. GOD: "I'm feeling pissy. How could I make getting old suck a little more?"— March 11, 2010 10:36 p.m.

"Hell yeah! If the above is true, I'll be running naked in the streets." Why don't you do it on the last Friday of the month? At least Critical Mass would be somewhat interesting for blocked and delayed motorists. :) Oh wait, Board might throw his gum or some rocks at you. Bad idea.— March 11, 2010 10:13 p.m.

i guess i just wish...../Pistol Pete
Gringo the Ghost made a huge assumption: "It's about fear. It's about not wanting to possibly imagine that people could hate cats or Mexicans or Christians. I don't think that you hate those things, Pete. I think that you simply wanted to remind us that some people do hate those things. People seem to be very afraid of that notion." Um, I'm from the SOUTH, dude. I didn't grow up in a bed of thorn-free roses or a bowl of pitless cherries. And I certainly don't need to be REMINDED of crap that that's been right in front of my face for most of my life. I'm not under any illusion that it's a big bright wonderful world we live in, or that all strangers are just friends we haven't met yet. I got so much ugly in my head that I can't get rid of, I just don't need any more shoved in there by people like Board, Pete, or the body-count evening "news." It's a downer, a drag on positive energy that's already hard enough to maintain. F*** 'em both. They can go jump right into the negativity cesspool of their choice and swim around in it together, congratulating each other on their "reality." Just don't crawl back out of there and try to spread some of it my direction. Keep it to yourselves. Pete would be worth his weight in gold if he'd do some work on himself. He could become quite an inspirational figure, given his past. He's got all kinds of street cred, and he's smart enough and writes well enough to bring it to the masses. He could be a very positive force. But, he won't do any of that. Hopefully, I'm not included in the "Pete haters" comment. I don't hate Pete. I'm disappointed in him.— March 11, 2010 6:12 p.m.

Ah, so we see who SurfPuppy is stalking. It's russl. I think I'd like to stalk nan. Nan, where are we going on vacation? :)— March 11, 2010 5:24 p.m.

Look, why don't we all draw straws? We can do it every month, and take turns stalking each other. It'll be fun. :)— March 11, 2010 5:22 p.m.

Thanks, Grantie. I'm always looking for digs on trips to SD. I might take you up on it for a visit. I'd love to come back permanently, but there's that little problem of a J-O-B, dontcha know. Kind of waiting to see what happens in June, at the moment. Job status could change and give me a greater chance of transfer. *fingers crossed*— March 10, 2010 10:05 p.m.
