Randomly, am I crazy to be somewhat interested in volunteering for a homeless census thing the city is doing?
Yes. For all values of crazy = awesome!!
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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

Not crazy! It could be really interesting and it's useful work!

I'm up to 4-6 calls a day and someone knocking on my door every third day.
Thank goodness the only strangers who knock on my door are the religious ladies (I'm not sure what religion, but on the few occasions I've actually answered the door to them, a cheerful "no thank you" to their "Would you like to talk about God?" sends them on their way.) The phone calls are bad enough. I think the record was 10 on my answering machine, all just shy of implying the other candidates ate babies for fun. And that was just the mayoral election!

Fat animals! [link]
Featuring a fat hedgehog (five times the normal weight) and a fat baby wombat stuck in a flower pot....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
In fact, they want to encourage [kids to choose to have sex] because they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions, so you have to look at the financial motives behind those who are promoting comprehensive sex ed.
If I had known there was so much money in STDs and abortions I'd have had a totally different major.

I can't look at the fat animals -- it's too close to animal abuse, IMHO.
Fred Pete, I'd go for a rotating "first in the nation" awarded by lottery or whatever. After all, state committees would have four years or more to prepare to handle the attention.

It sounds like both of the fat animals got fat in the wild.

not your mom's socks.
If any other state wants 14 months of umpteen candidates harassing them, you're welcome to it.
Monique - my words and tone were off ... I meant no aspersions on your state ... just tiring of the "decision for america" loglo.

ah, the lovely Sheila D. for mayor phone ads. Love how all of them cut in about 1/3 of the way through the greeting too. That's quality.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes. For all values of crazy = awesome!!

Hmm.Maybe I'll actually look into it.
