"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I'm not clicking on that.

In related news, my coworker has discovered the joys of rickrolling. Fortunately, my machine doesn't have a sound card.

Once upon a time, Soviet scientists transplanted a puppy's head onto another dog. No really, I've read multiple accounts of this. Here's Time Magazine's account

So THAT'S what that Roky Erickson song is about (I'm guessing)!

Trust my rage

Remind me to never shop on a Wednesday afternoon again! I've been in lone for over 15 minutes. This is so weird-I never would have thought this would be a busy time.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm going to go bonk my head on the cylinder, now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

the page won't load for me but that's probably a good thing.

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

I had to hit reload.

It's not gross, unless you find the very idea of bizarre scientific experiments performed on puppies to be gross. Which is everybody (except certain 1950s Soviet scientists).

The idea is that once you put is down it will stop swirling around in your head and causing anxiety.

That always helps for me...unless I'm doing it to try to go to sleep, adn then I make a list, and then I try to go to sleep again and start thinking surely I left something OFF the list...

I'm all for allowing polygamy if it's consenting adults. Though if not integrated with the community, I can definitely see how you'd end up with extra boys. Which would be a problem. And I'm kinda against having a lot of kids and ending up on welfare because you've got too many wives and kids. OTOH, not sure there's a way to disallow that without being unfair.

what was that book about the scientist who made intelligent dogs who walked upright and had hands?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

More on head transplants. That can't be unknown now. Not sure how I feel about that.

Got a "We're married!!!!" email (I think they get special dispensation on the exclamation point thingy) from a krav friend who flew off to Thailand and got married far away from everyone who knows them and will be coming back to party with anyone that wants to. Nice and tidy marriaging, that. Attached photos of her looking supermodel beautiful on the beach, glowing with happiness, and, really, I have to hate her at this point.

Oh, thank god. I don't have to flip out and quit my job now.

I just need to document in case this crap ever happens again. That, I can do.
