I'm sure Mrs. Planck is glad to hear it.

obscure literary joke

Not that obscure. I would have made it myself if you hadn't done it. I love Antryg.

Also, I've known of Tunguska since before I'd ever heard of Buffistas.

edit: or Scully for that matter.

I've really got to get X-Files DVDs.

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

Yeah, I read about Tunguska as a kid.

I've really got to get X-Files DVDs.

Yeah, me too.

I got it, but didn't find it funny.

So why am I posting it? Dunno. Anyone find it funny?

I saw this video on a blog I like and I found it a pretty cool card trick.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hec, I'm with Matt. Dude. Tunguska.

Clearly it's a large gap in my knowledge base. Fortunatetly, I now have Wikipedia to fill in the gaps. I just have to figure out where I'm gapping. Must browse for more unnatural natural phenomena which lend themselves to weird science and conspiracy theories.

Yes, I know about Krakatoa.

So who'll play you in the sitcom?

I have no idea. Give me a suggestion.

I think I first learned about Tunguska during the period in my teens when I became obsessed with Charles Fort.

You know, the last time we talked about Tunguska someone brought up Charles Fort.

with Charles Fort

See, I didn't even know he was the etymological root of Fortrean.

Clearly I was skimming that day. Maybe it was interlarded with cute cat pictures.

Sweet! There's a convenient wikipedia entry on Anomalous Phenomena.

I know about Tunguska, but I have no clue about Golden Globe events.
