Engineers! With cats! On the subject of cat yodeling...

For whatever reason, I found particularly hilarious the black guy in the coffee shop: "Have you ever heard of... cat yodeling?" Kinda has that "I'm gonna butta yo bread..." vibe.

I have never, for good or ill, had the 'pleasure' to move in my adult life. This means that I have lived in the same location for almost twenty years, and therefore have accumulated twenty years worth of cruft. Or, so my boy would call it were he not so inclined to substitute in four-letter words. After all, what need could one possibly have with ( Read more... )

I don't know about you, but I find it terribly ironic a woman driving a Prius, who throws her cigarette butts into the road...

But, in all, it wasn't a bad ride. Would definitely do again.

Thank you, Treyarch for a new bunch of maps for Call of Duty: World at War. But...

Did they have to be so freaking big?

If I've ever or recently introduced you to the Asylum Street Spankers' "Leafblower", I've just found a very good copy, done live on the radio show on which I first heard it: "Leafblower" done on the Bob & Tom Show

I sometimes miss working in my old office. The commute was ten times shorter--three minutes versus thirty. There were not so many locked doors to ply through every time I wanted to use the WC. And, I got avian sex antics round about this time ( Read more... )
