I had totally forgotten about the dancing ninjas!!! Also, I love that song.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Crap. Makes you pretty wary about ordering chicken, doesn't it? (We had our first avian flu-related human fatality a few weeks ago.)

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Well, I'll certainly be cutting down on my consumption of swans, that's for sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
LOS ANGELES - A man was sentenced to three years’ probation after pleading no contest to illegally possessing an alligator that was dumped into an urban lake where it has eluded capture for months.
Anthony Brewer, 36, of Los Angeles, also was ordered Wednesday to complete 45 days of work for the California Department of Transportation, according to City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. It is illegal under California law to keep alligators as private pets.
A Superior Court commissioner set a restitution hearing in May to determine how much Brewer should repay of the $155,000 the city has spent on increased security around Harbor Regional Park’s Machado Lake since the gator was discovered in August.
...
Authorities say Brewer and Natow, 42, released the 7-foot reptile known as “Reggie” into the lake when it became too big to keep as a pet. They were arrested in August and charged with unlawful possession of restricted animals, releasing an alligator into the lake, causing a public nuisance and marijuana possession, according to the city attorney’s office.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I've played Laser Tag a couple times and royally sucked at it. Never wanted to do paint ball. Not only would l suck (I've never had much luck with any form of gun, real or fake, barring the original Time Crisis video game) but I'm not big on getting welts all over either.
Fake swords are more my speed anyway.

I heard about Reggie on the radio a bit ago. He is quite elusive.

I guess if the rovers have blogs, a gator can too.... [link]

I would like one of those new inflatable airline pillows for my desk right now.
I have to give a seminar in a couple of hours and I hate public speaking. I am simultaneously exhausted and nervous. I want to nap while pacing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't you risk welts with those too? My co-workers used to paintball quite regularly, and kept inviting me. I explained that it would not be a good thing, because of all the time I've spent developing strange reflexive responses to people attacking me with guns. They bought it. Anyway, they didn't come back welted.
