I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

When you scratch the front of the stamps, it smells of the popular chinese dish and when the back of the stamp is licked it tastes of the dish too.

Oh dear, that technology could be used towards disturbing ends in the wrong hands.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Which reminds me, I need to start thinking about Seattle and Portland.
We have snow. Maybe wait til we are less apocalypse-y?

In a bout of craziness, I just went across the complex and picked up my mail. Snow got on my nose.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is ita about? Some guy was hotlinking to images on some other site. When the other site took down the images, the guy doing the hotlinking got all mad and said he might sue.

What. A. Moron. I hope his lawyer has better grammar and spelling.

I'm ashamed to admit I also had a dog named Buffy when I was in grade school. But he was a male cocker spaniel.

US forces raid the Iranian embassy in Northern Iraq, Bush is sending 21,000 more troops into the Mess o' Potamia, against the will of the American public, we're bombing Somalia and what's headline news on CNN?

David Beckham is coming to America.

So you're thinking that the Beckham news should have been in a "breaking news" red banner?

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.

Wow. Just wow. The sheer cluelessness is overwhelming.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

This really amuses me. I was looking on the IRS's Web site for tax info (independent contractor, etc.), and it has a very long list of what is considered "income" and, further, whether that income is taxable or not.

It includes -- I shit you not -- the following, which I have lifted verbatim from the Web site:

Bribes. If you receive a bribe, include it in your income.

Found property. If you find and keep property that does not belong to you that has been lost or abandoned (treasure-trove), it is taxable to you at its fair market value in the first year it is your undisputed possession.

Illegal income. Illegal income, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

Kickbacks. You must include kickbacks, side commissions, push money, or similar payments you receive in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

Stolen property. If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless in the same year, you return it to its rightful owner.

Well, that takes care of all *my* questions....

I'm sure there are people stupid enough to list their incomse thus and get picked up with a quick query to the database.
