Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool headline of the week:
Police station is no place for gnomes
If your enchanted garden lady has magically disappeared or your plastic gnome has gone on the lam, you might want to look in Warrenville.
Police there are trying to find the rightful owners of 20 lawn ornaments and statues recently turned in to the Police Department. As of Friday, two people had come forward to claim their statues.
Meanwhile, the other lawn ornaments remain locked in a caged area, alongside four stolen beer kegs, in the department's dimly lit sally port.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it seems wrong to use the word 'julienne' without the word 'fries' after it....
Good chance that's an opinion shared by the person not wielding the sword too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
twainTechnology without an interesting name. But then I haven't talked about TWAIN devices in a while either.

EW!
Saw an ankle dislocated (woman slipped off a curb) about a month ago and had to keep the woman from looking at her foot while we called an ambulance. I wish someone had stopped me from looking at it. Kinda stays with you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
btw, was it good? The description sounded fun.
It's just about to start, actually.
Sorry Gus, I'm reading up on the Spice Trade and how it affected world history.
In sum: Between 1200 and 1858, whoever controlled the spice trade was the richest nation in the world, and as the richest produced its greatest cultural offerings. Venice from 1200 to 1500 (see, Merchant of Venice), then Spain/Portual through the 16th century; Holland in the 17th century (see, Rembrandt, Dutch masters etc.); Britain in the 18th century.
All over nutmeg and cloves.

I've seen a very dislocated kneecap (90 degrees to the outside of the knee) and the shoulder (arm 4 or so inches down from the shoulder itself) and the first one hit me the most hard, but I think it was amplified by having been there at the time and being friends with the injured person.
I've also seen the dislocation of a metatarsal, but he was wearing shoes and he bent down and popped it back in and kept going, so no one knew what had happened until he said. Oh, and my patella would dislocate, but mostly by becoming detached at the top and flopping down, but you couldn't really tell by looking. And I rarely noticed until I'd walked around a bit and it started to swell.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
All over nutmeg and cloves.
There was some discontent over Ginger Spice, as well.

Dude. The history of spices is fascinating.
