I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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.

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

Burglars break into abandoned factory while it's being used for K-9 training.

At which point they began to regret wearing their clothes made of steak.

Islamists Battle Cats

Another cartoon controversy, this time in Bangladesh.

I dunno - the cartoon seems pretty benign to me. Plus it's funny.

By today the military government of Bangladesh had arrested the cartoonist, banned the cartoon, confiscated all copies of the newspaper issue, and forced the newspaper to fire the editor responsible for publishing the cartoon. Prothom Alo has also apologized profusely to its readers in two front page editorials.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That is weird, and depressing, tommyrot. From what (very) little I know of Mohammed, he himself would've gotten a kick out of the cartoon. This was a man who, when he found one of his cats peacefully asleep on the sleeve of his favorite fancy jacket just as he was about to go out, cut the sleeve off and departed one-sleeved rather than wake the cat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am updating numbers and links. It will be a thrilling day.

Supervisor who can see my screen hasn't come into the office yet, so I'm noodling around on the internets while I still can.
