Years ago (in the '70s?) a local TV news program out West reported that a nearby mountain was actually a volcano, and it had erupted. They showed stock footage of lava flowing down the side of a volcano. The story did cause some panic, and the newscasters involved lost their jobs.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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

Does bt know about this?
1995 The hotheaded naked ice borer, a sort of mole with a searing, bony forehead, lurks under Antarctica, melting the ice beneath the butts of hapless penguins and eating them as they sink. When Discover magazine publishes its retraction, penguins everywhere breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
With like a bajillion (or 50) cloves of garlic? No?
Aah -- that was actually just a couple of breasts, not a whole bird.
Why you going to NO, Burrell? That sounds fun!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Does bt know about this?
I do! In fact, at the Washington F2F after I waxed lyrical about mole rats to a certain individual, he relayed that story to me as genuine! (Cleared up, of course, with a quick google.)

It will be tough this year to get the kids because I forgot to do so before they went to school and they will be on guard by the time they get home.

bon, my non-HD Series 2 Tivo box has been going strong for 7+ years now. I figure if I buy the HD S3 box and get that much usage again, it works out to $100/year, which is not bad.
Plus, I'd be stimulating the economy. Or something.
(WHY did I decide to make 2008 the Year of No Shopping when there are still things I WANT TO BUY???)

Bahahahaha! Ah, man, I always forget about xkcd. Thanks for reminding me. Oh, and questionablecontent.net is blocked for me. Quelle surprise.
Anyone ever been haunted by an overintense dream? I had this dream about a week ago now, and it was so detailed and clear that I really want to tell someone about it -- unfortunately the details really won't interest anybody else. Like, isn't it odd that my brain thought it necessary to believe Alec Baldwin was in Ghostbusters? Why be so insistent on a detail my conscious mind knows is wrong?
(On the other hand, it apparently got much closer to the year it was made than I would consciously have guessed.)

You can tell us, Emily!
I just saw thins link over at Television without Pity (I was reading older threads) and I think it is the most hysterical thing I have ever seen.
It involves the oldest son from Mr. Belevedere and a dancing street gang dressed in purple, and perhaps the strangest lyrics to have every been written without tongue in cheek.
