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

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

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.

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

I made my calls. Neither of them answered. All that sucking up of my will for nothing!

Okay, ten or so minutes later, I'm going to call both of them again, and even maybe leave messages.

Where is the Job Fairy when you need her?

It must be so cool to be the etymological root of something.

Assuming you're still alive when it happens.

I suppose we could ask Nilly how she feels about it....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've never heard of Tunguska either.
