Note to the gentleman seen walking down Hamilton Street at 10:30am today in a metallic silver suit . . .

1) Geepers you're shiny;
2) Your hair is done just so, you're clean-shaven, your shoes are polished & such;
3) Do you know that your suit is blinding passers-by?
4) I saw a dude walk straight into a parking meter while blinded by your suit's aura;

The level of detail I put in my Facebook profile is beginning to concern me . . .

What the Tories know about you

. . . fortunately, I believe HAL knows mrs_drofmab  & me as "Marcus and Fiona" -- we are not of interest to Big Brother (at least not yet).

UPDATE:  I may have said too much . . . I stepped out of my house this evening to pick up mrs_drofmab  from French class ( Read more... )

My recent road trip to the US with Sunny & Moose exposed me to the progress American Food Scientists have made over the past 6 months. They are truly making the whole "man on the moon" thing look like amateur hour . . .
