Dolphins get to use more emoticons than we tolerate from primates. But still, no more than 1 per paragraph.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What about dolphins?

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

You never want to get the monkeys started in bureaucracy. I mean, at our very lowest moments, we've never gone beyond metaphorical shit-flinging.

So far they've determined that the monkeys get frustrated when pages take too long to load.
I was babysitting my friend's then three year old one day. She went online to a Dora the Explorer site. While it was loading (quickly, mind you) she was impatiently tapping the mouse, muttering "c'mon, c'mon." It was very funny.
I have a nyquil hangover. It isn't pretty . I should have taken it much earlier.

Scientists working on cure for gassy cows
LONDON - Cows belching and breaking wind cause methane pollution, but British scientists say they have developed a diet to make pastures smell like roses — almost.
“In some experiments we get a 70 percent decrease (in methane emissions), which is quite staggering,” biochemist John Wallace told Reuters in a telephone interview.
...
A 12-month commercial and scientific evaluation of the additive has just begun, but he said if it proves successful it could be a boon to cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions.
“In total around 14 percent of global methane comes from the guts of farm animals. It is worth doing something about,” Wallace said. Other big sources of methane are landfills, coal mines, rice paddies and bogs.
...
In New Zealand the government in 2003 proposed a flatulence tax, with methane emitted by farm animals responsible for more than half the country’s greenhouse gases. The plan was ultimately withdrawn after widespread protests.
No, this is not an Onion story....
Plus, I am now earwormed with "I'm the flatulence tax man...."

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
Does anyone have a good recipe for vegan cookies/brownies/other baked goods? My hairdresser is vegan, and therefore misses out on partaking of a lot of the baked gifts that other salon patrons bring in as holiday gifts.
I swear, you are the sweetest woman in the world.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
As long as we're talking about Spooks, does anyone have 3.04 lying around? I've had Season 3 sitting around forever, and I have all of Season 4, but we got through the first three episodes of Seasons 3 and realized there was a gap.
If it's only the one file, some sort of internet-based transmission would work...

Dolphin testing has been delayed due to the lack of keyboards large enough to let them type with their noses.

I have a nasty sore throat, so I get to stay home from work today! Woo hoo! Plus I have a kitty cat across my feet, keeping them toasty. Now I just need to figure out how to get Santa to bring me a pink Razr, and I'll be good. Well, a pink Razr and a car. That's not so much to ask for, is it? It's only two things.
How is everybody?
