Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I am doing an empty cycle on my new washing machine. Yay.

Also, I got a letter from my oil company saying that they are reducing my monthly payments on my budget plan from $300/month to $70/month for the rest of my payment year. That's how off they were estimating oil prices.

Today I just want to resign from the human race, and I know I should go out to a networking meeting for job seekers and try to look employable when I'm filled with capital-D Despair.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Can I get some ticket-fu this morning? Mets tickets for an exhibition game at their new stadium on my BIRTHDAY go on sale at 10:00am.

Major ticket-fu, Tom! I went to an exhibition game on my birthday once, and it was one of my best birthdays ever.

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

Major ticket-fu, Tom!

Interesting article. Some points I'm not seeing eye-to-eye with, but I think it has a major omission. One reason many women stay in abusive relationships is they believe "If I leave, he will kill me." And all too often they are correct.
