That would almost make taking a bath worth it.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Today's xkcd gave me a really weird, uncomfortable feeling.
Yes.

After a very long time, I have a tagline. I think it makes me sound sophisticated.
More neighbor drama this weekend. Their eight year old broke two branches on our pear tree. This has resulted in an indefinite ban from our yard.
But that isn't the drama. The police came by to give the mother a warning. Apparently more than one person has reported her kids (6 year old girl, 8 year old boy) being in the middle of the street, forcing them to come to a stop. One person apparently came close to hitting the 6 year old.
I'm a bit ashamed that it never occurred to me to contact the police about this. Those kids are always playing in the middle of the street. That same day I saw the girl walking in the middle of the street, and the boy playing in a wheelchair in the middle of the street. It's a dangerous spot since there is a hill nearby.
Anyhow the policeman asked us some questions about what we had seen and he got some information from the kids. The mother wasn't home which wasn't a shock. I've never actually seen the mother since her 15 year old daughter "takes care" of the kids nearly all the time. For a long time I though she was the mother since she could pass for being in her mid-20s. However, my wife talked to her one day when we had to watch the younger kids for a bit while she was helping a friend who was being arrested. Hence she found out that she was 15 years old.
Ah, neighbor drama.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Questions to ponder:
Why is it Monday?
Why is there suffering in the world?
Why do I have to look at stupid Scientology ads on Google Reader?

I also found out my in-laws have decided that global warming is not only real, but the earth is cooling. Also ice is increasing. They have a book that shows this scientifically. Betcha it wasn't written by a climatologist. Anyhow this came close to a argument between wife and mother-in-law but it was averted.
MiL wants wife to read the book. I'd like the in-laws to read the IPCC report, but I don't get involved with issues of politics or religion with the in-laws. Better for everyone really.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Lack of AdBlock?
Number one reason I don't like Google Chrome. Second reason is lack of flashblock.
