Connie, that's funny. Early Saturday morning has become the time when I go to town on my bills.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Mostly lurking...
Heh. I need to balance this morning as well. I don't always do it on Saturdays, but often.

Heh, around here today it's "Avoid Drunken Bostonians Day".
Yesterday my boss discovered Powerizers, which are a cross between pogo sticks and stilts -- they functionally turn your lower legs into kangaroo springs. It turns out there's a bunch of Powerizer vids on Youtube, like this one:
(The spelling may actually be Poweriser, because I believe it was invented in the UK, at least the ones I've seen for sale seem to be imported from there....)
I look at these and go, wow and also: I would kill myself.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
A blog I frequent is having a sorta' contest to see if anyone can figure out what this is: [link]
Clearly, it is a device to capture souls.

So this 35 year old dude from Orlando on a cruise with his 16yo godson jumps off the ship and somehow survives 8 hours in the ocean before the coast guard finds him. [link] Ah, spring break.

Aw. They're showing a story about this guy and his dogs -
He took them out one morning for their usual Sat AM hike up a mountain, and when they got there, one of the dogs, who loved that hike, just flat refused to go. He was worried she was sick, so he took them back home. And had a heart attack an hour later.
(Whereupon the same dog brought him the phone so he could call 911.)
t looks askance at dog
Well, I'm reasonably certian she doens't actively want me to have a heart attack. That's about as far as I'm prepared to go, though.

What is even happening?
Me? I just call the cops. I don't invite them in!Once you've invited them in, thereafter they're always welcome.
Or maybe that's vampires. I disremember.
Heh, around here today it's "Avoid Drunken Bostonians Day".
Fortunately, we're all still in shape from doing the same on New Year's Eve.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It turns out there's a bunch of Powerizer vids on Youtube, like this one:
Some supervillian needs to equip an army of henchmen with these....

Also known in Middlesex County as "'Evacuation' Day."
Do click on the Powerizer link. Seriously, it's something that I would have expected to see featured on Boingboing.
