Cop computers yell "D'oh!" when they spot uninsured drivers
Some Thames Valley, UK cops claim it helps reaction times to have their onboard computer yell out Homer's "D'oh!" when it picks up on uninsured drivers, Jack Nicholson's "Here's Johnny" from The Shining when a stolen car zips by, and Dan Aykroyd's "People like this are a menace to decent society" for crime-linked cars. No word if this newfound reaction time is negated by an ensuing Simpsons-laced quote fest, punctuated with SNL reminiscence.
Jesse, can you get at your phonemail records from online?
Hahahaha. Uh, no. But the office manager did finally get in, and he had some secret code, so all is well. The message wasn't who I thought it was from, anyway.
Desperately trying to avoid a donut joke...
Cooking last night turned out to be an unqualified success. I slow roasted everything for 3 hours to make the meat more tender for my dad's sake, and the plum juice ended up making a kind of glaze over the roast that tastes vaguely of cinnamon-spiced cranberry sauce. This throw-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink-into-the-pot approach to cooking seems to work well for me.
juliana is safe , right?
The HELL?? Yeah, I'm fine - that's on the other side of the hill from me. I just hope Helmand's and the Crow Bar were spared - that's exactly where they are.

ita had Botox injections for her migraines, right? Is this the same thing? or a step beyond?
Migraines treatment combines Botox, surgery
The technique – performed by a handful of plastic surgeons in the U.S. – includes using the anti-wrinkle drug Botox to pinpoint which of several specific muscles in the forehead, back of the head or temple areas may be serving as "trigger points" to compress, irritate or entrap nerves that could be causing the migraine. Because Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles, usually for about three months, it can be used as a "litmus test" or "marker" to see if headaches go away or become less intense while the Botox's effects last, said Dr. Jeffrey Janis, assistant professor of plastic surgery.
If the Botox is successful in preventing migraines or lessening their severity, then surgery to remove the targeted muscle is likely to accomplish the same result, but on a more long-term and possibly permanent basis, he said.
It's one step further. And a weird step, since it's more invasive.

I'm a little anxious about people cutting on your head muscles.
Then again, they try to do it in Krav class anyway.
