I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

She's also been posting in Bitches. She's fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I heard a reporter on NPR the other day saying you could totally live in Bangkok with no impact of any of the brouhaha.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Yeah, it's not a place where violence is an undercurrent.

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

Ooh. Gud's post is halfway to 30,000.

30,000 is the new 10,000, right? So 15,000 is the new 5,000.

Happy birthday to the Squeak! As bon notes, she'd easily lap the other contestants of American's Next Top Lemur Model.

Cubs Opening Day: Goat Head Found Hanging Outside Wrigley Field

CHICAGO - As if the rain and cold weather threatening the Chicago Cubs' home opener against the Colorado Rockies weren't enough, there's another goat involved _ a dead one this time.

Chicago police say they found the severed head of a goat outside Wrigley Field early Monday morning, about 12 hours before the scheduled game.

Officers said they were treating the incident as a prank, since the same thing happened last year.

Goat and sheep's heads are available at a number of ethnic butcher shops in Chicago.

The goats' heads are presumably a reference to the alleged "goat curse" placed on the Cubs in 1945 by tavern owner William Sianis after authorities would not allow him to bring his pet goat into Wrigley Field for a World Series game.

Oh yeah -- bad management hates on QA because it exposes all the flaws, which they'd shortsightedly prefer to ignore. So one of my major warning signs that an IT department is going down the tubes is when they can QA.

And yet, they also get the largest share of the blame if something makes it out the door that souldn't have. Even if both SA and SE were behind schedule, but the release date didn't change. Not that I speak from bitter experience or anything...
