Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Let's say you're walking down the sidewalk, minding your own business, when a guy in a chicken suit waves a sign in your face. Is it OK to punch him in the beak?

Yes. For backup, ask msbelle.

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

What do you do with a white moose? Some Norweigans think they should shoot it.

"It is surely entertaining to have an albino moose wandering in the woods but in purely breeding terms it is not right to let it live," Morten Brommdal, manager of the animal section at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience at the University of Oslo told Moss Avis.

"That so many people want the white moose to live is an emotional issue. It is exciting to have such a rarity rustling around. But if it is spared we risk the moose’s breeding qualities spreading. Soon we might two, three, four or five albino moose in these wooded areas, something which in the long run can weaken the herd," said Brommdal, who pointed out that an albino moose is really a kind of ‘mistake’.

"If we let one moose be albino, soon other moose will be albino. It'll be anarchy!"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Or, you know, put it in a zoo or somewhere else safe for it and not involving death by gunshot.

HOW TO - Build your own cat teleporter

Cool. Of course, it's just smoke and mirrors. OK, just mirrors.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Matt, now you made me think of David Cross' Stephen Hawking imitation. Which is wrong like a wrong thing. So what are you doing for your birthday this weekend?

Given that I know the bit you're talking about, I hope that last sentence is unrelated to the two preceeding ones.

D'OH! Yes, those two statements are unrelated.

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

    • I've been called into a mystery meeting at 2
    • My doc inspection meeting was scheduled for 1:30
    • There are no 90 minute slots in business hours left for the attendees any time this month
    • 90 minutes was too short for the inspection
    • I have spilt coffee up and down the sleeve of my white shirt
    • MYSTERY MEETING

Oh, and I'm way behind in my headache diary.

I hate a mystery meeting.

Our sole HR person just gave notice. How do you get a new employee if there's no HR person???

I am an emailing maniac today. I may not have actually gotten anything done, but I sure have put a lot of questions onto a lot of other people.
