I guess it's a good week to be donating to a California soup kitchen.

I am corrected on the man-hunting critters. Even amongst mammals I think leopards probably count. Whether a cheetah would go after Nutty is a subject for debate, however.

I like thinking about the Haast eagle swooping down on Antonin Scalia and dragging him (kicking) off into the sky.

I'm surprised about black bears since they seem to be the big pussies of the ursine world, constantly getting treed by kittens and fierce looking voles and whatnot.

Speaking of predators, Loki and Devi are sitting on either side of the kitchen sink, avidly watching the starlings on the wire. Devi's come a long way since she hated the kitten.

Time to go shower.

This made me laugh.

The 8th is a Saturday...I could go down to Indy...Hmmmm...

This made me laugh.

I want to beep his nose.

The 8th is a Saturday...I could go down to Indy...Hmmmm...

I know! I could drive over to Indy!

Poking my head again from my grading, because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Frankenbuddha's birthday.

Happy birthday, Frank! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Elderly retired boxing champ beats six kinds of crap out of drunken burglar neighbour

A British hard-partying 24-year-old bartender got upset that his elderly neighbour called the cops over all the noise he was making, so he got drunk and broke into the 72-year-old's house, wielding some kind of Mall Ninja knife that incorporated brass knuckles. What he didn't know was that the neighbour was a retired boxing champ, and the older man beat the everloving crap out of the would-be assailant. The judge in the case sentenced the burglar to four and a half years and said, of the beating, "You got what you deserved."
