Kitty and puppy!

So now the guy had a heartattack due to bird shot reaching his heart: [link].

Dude. As if the Aerosmith parodies weren't enough now there will Bon Jovi filks as well.

I laughed long and hard at TDS last night. I figured the guy was in intensive care because he was in his seventies.

And that's a reasonable assumption on your part, but Scott and the boys -- particularly since they've been working so hard to make sure the guy is ok that they couldn't squeeze out a press release -- know better.

Of course, its fortunate I do not work on the whitehouse staff. They'd have to keep chasing me out of camera range.

I can't make this headache go away. I'm going to take my one triptan left for the day and go back to bed. So much for working from home. Sick day #3 of 2006. I hate this.

now there will Bon Jovi filks

Shot through the heart
And you're to blame
Baby, you give neocons
A bad name.

Or am I mixing up my '80s pop?

Dude. As if the Aerosmith parodies weren't enough now there will Bon Jovi filks as well.

You give Dick a bad name!

I skipped close to two thousand posts.

Back to work after spending a long weekend at con. So far, I really don't want to be here.

The convention was a lot of fun, but exhausting due to little sleep. Drank a bit too much, met some new people and we continued our winning streak for a third year by nabbing Best Party for our Kimono Party. (The Con's theme this year was University of Fandom, so sticking to our Firefly-roots, we did things with an asian twist and had a Kimono Party instead of a toga party. It turned out really well.)

All other things being equal, I'm going to snare my quail quarry in future just like a good prehistoric hunter should. None of this hot, fast projectiles crap getting in the way of my stew.

Opportunity for Nutty Talk

How does it know that I'm not, like, I logged in an hour ago and then went away to a meeting? Is it looking out my screen at me??

I non-rock song versions of hunting accidents news, I am getting VERY DISTURBING ads in yahoo mail that feature Alyson Hannigan 1) in braces 2) in a fat suit and 3) with very large breasts on her back. Why, Alyson, why?

(Shot! Down! In a blaze of glooooory...)

It's not like pen-raised quail are domesticated!

It’s true that pen-raised quail are not domesticated. It’s also true that Texas has an appalling and disgraceful tradition of canned hunts on game farms. If you are clumsy, unskilled, inattentive, and stupid, you can still get a “trophy” kill in Texas. It’s a simulation of hunting, and the people who do it should stick to video games rather than pretending that they are doing something real.

There is nothing wrong with wildlife management that includes hatcheries and other methods for increasing the population of particular species. But the practices allowed in Texas should disgust any real hunter.

Is it looking out my screen at me??

Yup. It says you're wearing red and black slacks, too.
