It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

In slightly lighter leaving-for-Iraq news, we had two units leave Salt Lake the other day. However, one of the officers discovered he still had the only set of car keys on him, so they had to turn his helicopter around and come back to base so he could give the keys to his wife. I imagine he's going to be hearing about that for months.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Isn't Zyrtec supposed to be 24-hour? Because it's seeming more like 12. Or 8. Gah. Fall allergies.

I think Leo has allergies, too. His eyes are watery. No sneezing though. Do cats get allergies?

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I had one that did. Thanks, Hil. Because I had this whole thing about how the Emanuel brothers are all so accomplished, and if you're the slacker cousin, there's a "Christmas letter" you open saying "C'mon, comic-book store!" Even if you feel really guilty afterwards. But then it was, like, D'oh! and not only because after six months an Emanuel comic store would be a comic colossus. Sorry to be the Ugly Cultural Christian, though.

Oh, crap. Someone remind me not to go anywhere on Sunday, because that's when our marathon is.

Oh my god, I think saturday's marathon is going to make getting out of the city a nightmare.

Probably. Especially since the Baltimore Comic-Con is this weekend. And then there's the Poe stuff.

So, yeah. I would recommend spending the weekend in a bunker.

I have an appointment in Ellicott City at noon. Not sure how I'm going to get west of the route (course actually runs right by me, up to the lake I go to.)
