"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

A friend of mine was visiting Indonesia and got a chance to see the dragons. You totally don't want to know what the preferred bait is to draw them out.

I was going to say pesto cream sauce, but I see that Cashmere shared already.

Here she is, your Komodo dragon!

We were once in a store (Teppy, that Mediterranean store in your old hood) and this guy was giving us an unrequested lecture on how antioxidants were going to keep him young forever, blah blah blah. He asked mr. flea, "How old do you think I am, huh?" and mr. flea looked at him and said, "48." Turned out he was only 45; I guess the antioxidants weren't working. And boy was he mad.

msbelle, if it helps, there was this over the weekend:

JONATHON PORRITT, one of Gordon Brown’s leading green advisers, is to warn that Britain must drastically reduce its population if it is to build a sustainable society. Porritt’s call will come at this week’s annual conference of the Optimum Population Trust (OPT), of which he is patron. The trust will release research suggesting UK population must be cut to 30m if the country wants to feed itself sustainably.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Don't forget the crucial New Orleans muffaletta vote.

Very divisive and polarizing! Won't touch it.

The muffaletta is the third rail of sandwichian politics.

I'm sure that's what the komodo dragons said to fruit-picker dude right before he fell into their mouths.
