And, so sorry to see the bad news in Beep Me. Sending good thoughts to those who need them.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You could also do soup in a canteen to keep it warm if it's going to be chilly.

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

Anyone ever tried pineberries?

What you see above are, genetically, common strawberries. They're a cultivar thereof -- a type of strawberry specifically cultivated due to the uniqueness of the variety present. Called "pineberries," these strawberries originally grew in South America and were almost extinct by 2003, but was saved by a group of Dutch farmers. The lone company to produce them claims that pineberries are actually the world's first strawberry, but that is probably more marketing spin than actual fact. If so, it's unneccessary, as pineberries have a built-in marketing hook, as the differences between pineberries and "regular" strawberriers is more than skin deep. Pineberries don't taste like normal strawberries. They taste like pineapples.

If you'd like to taste one, however, you'll probably have to go to the United Kingdom. Pineberries have been for sale there since April, but are hard to grow at a profit due to low yields, smaller-than-average berries, and the the fact that they require a lot of attention (in greenhouses) to grow to full ripeness. They're expensive, too: a 4.5 oz bag of pineberries will run you $6.00, while (at least in New York) one can get 16 oz of the typical strawberry for half the price.

eta: You gotta see the picture too....

Woke up with a bit of a scratchy throat, and am now in full blown ick. I think I will go home for the rest of the day, so I can get over this fast.

So anybody else's first thought on reading this "Namaste, motherfucker!"?

I am gronkified today - I first misread this headline:

MSNBC.com May Change Its Name: NYT

...to think MSNBC.com was changing its name to "NYT".
