Damn. And I was so gonna post one.
Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's a reference to an Eddie Izzard bit, yes shrift?
How about I make this joke instead? No one puts Spikey in a corner!!
... Right. Coffee. Yes.
Oh, all right, I wasn't silent so it wasn't mime, but I'm pretty sure it convinced people not to let me near their children.

I shall eat all the leaves on this tree....

Oooh, I hated move-in day when I worked at Penn. It's not as noticeable at UW, somehow, maybe because it's more of a commuter campus.
According to the article 27% of Americans did not read a book in the last year. That means 73% did, which is kinda better than I would expect. There are some interesting stats about who reads what in the article too.
It depresses me as an aspiring author, though it doesn't surprise me, that the median number of books read by the 73% is so low (9 for women, 5 for men). I know I'm an outlier, but I'd feel like something was wrong if I didn't read at least 100 books/year. This year I've already read 81.
Apparently the puppy boy is fine. The kennel owner just looked at his list of pickups and misread ours as the 27th, so he bailed. There is someone who stays there with the dogs, but he wasn't home yet. So no disasters; we're heading in to pick him up shortly. Also, cutely, apparently they must leave the radio on for the dogs.
Phew. Good to know Liese.
What station do they leave on for the dogs? Easy listening? Talk radio?
Not sure what Bboy would prefer. Probably All Things Considered given his fairly serious take on life.
Hee. I dunno, I didn't ask the SO. I think the last time I was in there it was classic rock.
Anyway, in general, they're great. They're a kennel we really trust, with owners who are serious dog lovers themselves (they breed and show and train). They're great and it's really possible to find a good kennel that the dog will like who will take great care of him.
