OK, after posting two cat videos, here's one for Hec:
baseball attacked by samurai swordsman
They use a pitching machine. The samurai dude waits until the ball is pitched to draw his sword. Darth Vader would say, "Impressive."
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

It's time to start calling the anti-immigrant bigotry in this country what it is: racism.

'High' Wallabies' Munchies Blamed For Australian Crop Circles
SYDNEY — Wallabies snacking in Tasmania's legally grown opium poppy fields are getting "high as a kite" and hopping around in circles, trampling the crops, a state official said.
Tasmania Attorney-General Lara Giddings told a budget hearing Wednesday that she had recently read about the kangaroo-like marsupials' antics in a brief on the state's large poppy industry. Tasmania is the world's largest producer of legally grown opium for the pharmaceutical market.
"We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," The Mercury newspaper quoted Giddings as telling the hearing. "Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."
...
A manager for one of two Tasmanian companies licensed to take medicinal products from poppy straw told the newspaper that wildlife and livestock _ including deer and sheep _ that eat the poppies are known to "act weird."
"There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten some of the poppies after harvesting and they all walk around in circles," Tasmanian Alkaloids field operations manager Rick Rockliff said.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I know! It's awesome! Beats the only other news story here at the moment, some piss-weak political scandal where the Opposition tried to take out the Treasurer and shot itself in the foot.

I'll bet your political scandal didn't have erotic e-mails.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Unless "shot itself in the foot" has a very different meaning down there.

Erotic, literate e-mails.
Sanford may be a hypocrite, but unlike the guys who have fleeting serial booty calls with lust objects, it appears he did at least pursue what I'd call a love affair.
While moralizing very heavily and publicly how other people should behave....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I think I wore the kids out yesterday at a swim play date. It's 8 am and I am sitting here enjoying my morning cup of coffee all alone. This is not my normal, but I could get used to it.
