The status is NOT quo.

In celebration of Trogdor's 3rd birthday (homestarrunner.com), I present to you the original Trogdor cartoon and his 3-year birthday montage.

TROGDOR!!! Burninating the villages...burninating the peasants!

I've been there, Jars. You can do it. Just get off the freakin' internet!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You can definitely do it, Jars! Just focus on adding words, not subtracting. That will help.

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

What Jesse and Sue said, Jars. You can definitely do it.

I have found that, when writing papers that refuse to come out, the judicious application of alcohol can be helpful. The key is only to drink enough to get you a little loose - not so much that you begin to think you are brilliant.

Serious condition + shrapnel head wounds = not good for the ABC guys. NPR has been having all these sad stories about brain injuries among wounded Iraq veterans.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Afternoon y'all. I think my two weeks of being an absolute mess are over. Besides getting my wisdom teeth out and being pretty much useless week before last, last week I caught the flu. I finally took half a day Thursday and a whole day Friday, and it's possible I will be back to normal by tomorrow. At least the snot monster and the fever demon have been chased away by a combo of Zicam and Theraflu.

I should not have to clean when I've just recovered, it's beautiful outside, and Oz is throwing himself at the door.

My boss when I called in Thursday "STAY HOME! They can survive without you!"

I went running with a coworker, which was nice, because it was something of a workout but I'm not exhausted (and I could keep up and she's younger and fitter than I am). But now I have to work, boo!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Serious condition + shrapnel head wounds = not good for the ABC guys. NPR has been having all these sad stories about brain injuries among wounded Iraq veterans.

The Times did a couple of profiles too. Of course, most of the people coming out with serious brain damage are the people who would, 20 years ago, have died of their wounds.

The CNN report a bit ago said the ABC guys were wearing helmets and safety goggles (can't remember the name -- sharp-object-resistant glasses) and kevlar, so it sounds like they did everything they could have done to protect themselves, at least.

You all remember that Time Magazine reporter who caught an incoming grenade, and threw it back? Dude lost his hand, but probably saved the lives of everybody in the truck. Ah, here he is (scroll down): Michael Weisskopf. [link]
