Ann, that's a ferret.

Hello, Dali!
Well hello, Dali!
It's so nice to have you back...

Music ends series of unrelated 5-minute solos, the aural equivalent of surrealism

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that submarine that ran into that underwater mountain? It's in a drydock now: [link]

Damn, I'm amazed that something could take that much dammage while underwater and still not sink. Apparantly the inner pressure hull survived intact, while the outer hull got trashed to hell....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's like they were walking around Seattle and the fog lifted...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Taxes (state and federal): DONE. Am getting big refund! For, I think, the first time ever. It's the one good thing about only working full time half the year -- my withholding was based on the full annual amount, which I didn't earn.

Now I really want Chinese.

Sometimes the only thing you need to make the day tolerable is to devour a good eggroll. I'm just saying.

Self-defense with a Walking-stick

But how do you defend yourself against a man armed with a banana?

Sadly, it took them another 70 years to figure that out....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hi bicyclops! It's been a long time, and now we get you and cab in the same day. Cool.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

It's not TDS; he's appearing in Hartford for "An Evening with Jon Stewart" tonight. I have bad seats, I mean, REALLY bad seats. I don't care. He sold out the entire Bushnell (decent sized theatre) for two shows. It should be incredible.

Oh, wicked cool. I've got an HBO special he did several years ago and he was a RIOT! He's probably more topical now then he was then, but I remember some of his best stuff was serious Jewish humor (which he still often goes to on TDS).
