What I am, and who I might have been.

And I said to Spooky just now, before she ran off to catch the kettle because it was whistling, "I want to scream. I want to scream very loudly. I want to scream so very loudly that blood flies out of my mouth before I'm done." And she said, "I think in this neighborhood it wouldn't be a good idea ( Read more... )

Er...let's see. The good news is that a polar bear/grizzly hybrid has been discovered in the wild for the first time. But the bad news is we only know this because some 65-year-old cocksucker from Idaho murdered it. It seems to me that with all the frelling Viagra® and various other dick-enlarging and stiffening and augmenting crap on the market now, old men from Idaho would no longer need to journey to the Canadian Arctic to murder bears with high-powered rifles in order to prove their "manhood" has not yet waned. What I want to know is when does human season begin, and may I please use nothing more than a pointy stick and a dull grapefruit spoon to bring down my quarry?

If this doesn't qualify for metaquotes I don't know what does.

I, too, miss Leo and Patrick (and the rest of the gang) of The Screen Savers. That was such a great show, until G4 bought it out and killed it. Dumb, dumb move. I listen to TWIT weekly now, Leo's podcast of tech info, so at least there's something out there to replace it.

I guess the silver-lining is that the edits are almost done, and after tomorrow evening hits you'll be free of them, for better or worse.

Oh dear. One of those days. There seem to be a lot of them going around. Damned days, in my opinion. Where did I put my umbrella? It looks like rain with a high possibility of toads. Or entrails.

I've my rusty butcher's hook and stick at the ready.

Is the polar bear-grizzly hybrid a good thing, do you think, or is it a sad indicator of global warming being right here on the doorstep shaking its umbrella, as usually polar bears mate on the ice sheet and grizzlies don't?

Well, in truth, I think it's sort of complicated, and I wasn't in the mood to treat it as such this morning. But yeah. I mean, I marvel at the existence of a creature that's half grizzly and half polar bear. I can even hope that the ability for these two populations to interbreed might be evidence that there's a greater chance for both to adapt to the climatic changes humans are producing. Still, you have a point.

That bastard paid $10,000 for the permit to shoot the bear. Now he is going to go get a grizzly. I am =so= angry.
