What is that?
It's a duck pond.
Why aren't there any ducks?
I don't know. There's never any ducks.
Then how do you know it's a duck pond?

Somebody at my work has a tin of Almond Roca. The fool. That will be gone by the end of the day. Heh heh.

After being delayed a few days by this week's baby Nor'Easter, the honor-bar candy guy showed up yesterday, only to have half the office descend upon the box before he could step away from it. Much scratching and clawing over the choice chocolate bars.
I got the only Hershey's in the box.

I
always keep a small bag of m&ms handy for a chocolate emergency, as well as a backup emergency bag for when I've used the emergency bag but not yet had a chance to replace it. So far, I've had no need to go with the emergency backup to the backup emergency bag...

It's the backup emergency bag I'm missing... I keep eating the emergency bag and then I'm left with nothing.
Of course, if I had a backup emergency bag I'd just eat that too.
Hang on, I think I have some after-dinner mints. Am I that desperate? Maybe I can nibble the chocolate off and leave the mint behind. Worth a try, anyway.

The Mainstreaming Of Counterculture
When one stops off at a major chain bookstore on the way home and buys a couple of volumes of
Slayers manga, it is a novel experience for the sales assistant to exclaim:
We're stocking Slayers now? That's so cool! I used to read Jump when I lived in Japan.
(
Jump is the weekly magazine in which the Slayers manga originally appeared.)
I forgot my 20% discount coupon, though. Darn.

It's obvious - stiletto wearing, skimpily clad, machine gun toting models get to stand on the altar.
Sheesh, do I have to explain everything to you?
What worries me is her finger's on the trigger.

Simon, I zoomed in on the picture - purely in the interests of research - and I'm not sure it is. I think she just has short fingers. It looks like her fingernail is outside the trigger guard.
Hard to be sure. Needs more investigation.

The dollar signs give it away. It's clearly an indictment of... well, something anyway.
She's cute.

Oh, for the love of... I know y'all are enjoying summer, while we freeze, but do you have to complain about it?
I spent this morning wading through two-and-a-half feet of snow in the fields to scrape snow and ice off of our five-meter satellite dishes, and I was the guy with the easy job. The bosses were the poor SOBs shoveling the walks! There are periodic whiteouts on both roads to the University, and the church across the street from my place looks like the bleedin' Matterhorn whenever the wind kicks up.
At least all the snow means that it's warmer than last week. Fewer beardsickles forming while we shovel.

Well, you chose to live at the North Pole.
You do live at the North Pole, right? It doesn't snow like that in normal countries, right?

Central Pennsylvania, my friend. We get the weather so's Old Blighty doesn't have to, courtesy of the North Atlantic Conveyor Belt.
Tell me that Sydney gets at least a little snow in the winters. I didn't think y'all were that far north...

Some parts of Sydney got about five minutes of snow one day in 1986. The last significant snowfalls were in the 1830's.
Sydney is about the same latitude as Los Angeles (only south, of course).

Who What?
Who is Wonkette, who are Media Whores Online, who is this Rittenhouse dude, and why should I care that they are engaged in an unseemly public squabble?
Piss off the lot of you.

Letters From Trixie
The letters from my granddaughter Trixie can now be found in the archives for January 2104 over on the left.
At least until she sends me another letter and my template catches fire...

I don't know. I thought the idea sounded cool back in 1992, but that was before I encountered the fansubs of
Daa Daa Daa Daa, which has a similar premise, and stank on ice.

I don't know if it's any good (I've downloaded one episode but not watched it yet); it just amused me after LeeAnn's comment of
What did you do, have children when you were in preschool? :)
