Sometimes I am not the brightest bulb.

Having been provided with a handy link wrap-up of the way my post on the digital divide has spread, I made the natural "hey, let's open this box Pandora left me" mistake, and clicked some links. I quickly discovered that

Thank you.

(And yes, I have amnesty, but I can reply if I wanna.)

Sometimes I wish I were allowed to carry bricks.

A brick-throwing machine gun... You know, I know some people who could maybe come up with something like this. Maybe some variant on a potato gun. Must mull on that.

If we can find out who those idiots are, we can stuff bananas in their car's tail pipes. It'll cost them a bloody fortune to figure out they've been gifted with a "shove it up your arse" message!

i have always wondered about some of the ways MY words have been interpreted, and i do not write as well or as clearly as you do. you have my sympathies.

also the comments when *I* shared it were very poilite

[seanan_mcguire]

I saw those. They were. <3

I was wondering if you were aware of your penis-havingness, but didn't think it was my place to inform you if you hadn't noticed.

What I do feel you need to be informed of is the fact that at this moment in time, there are exactly 666 comments on that post.

I really wish I'd known before the road trip I just took. Peeing in the bushes would have been SO MUCH EASIER.

As Uncle Bonsai says:

"If I had a penis, I'd still be a girl
But I'd make much more money and conquer the world."

I suspect your world domination plan would also involve building libraries.

It's all a plot from the Viagra people. They want -everyone- to have a penis so that they can expand their sales. ... At least, that's my theory. I get -lots- of Viagra spam in my inbox.

Like 50 penis emails for every breast enlargement email.

[Looks down at my overly-large blouse bumps.] Or maybe there is a secret society saying that anyone who uses a computer is secretly male?

. I hate all technology, and it's a miracle I was willing to write my post on a devil machine, rather than committing it to beautiful calligraphy and pasting my broadsheets all over town.

I just busted out laughing. Oh, lordy. Beautiful.

On a side note, what an awesome urban project! Like the Mysterious Paper Sculptures or guerrilla knitting

I am terribly disappointed to learn that Mira Grant does not have a penis collection buried in her back yard, where the zombies dropped them in their terror to get away from her.

Also, even if I did not agree with anything else you had ever written (this assumption is an untrue "if"), I cannot agree more that there is nothing romantic about cockroaches. I grew up in Austin, often near enough to water for water-roaches to get into the house. These things are approximately the length (barring the tail) of a young mouse, fly badly, and will fly into one's face at night. I hunted them often with stick and bug-spray, in the middle of the night.

...I live in Austin right now and spent six months going round and round with property management about the killing of the hated things, and how you do not just kill the ones in my unit, you firebomb THEM ALL.

Once I mentioned the health department and my buddies there, OH MAN the speed with which my problems were fixed.

Also, I hope Mira Grant now has a penis collection. That would be awesome.

If you are lucky enough to get a cat who loves to eat them, that can also work! (My mom found an abandoned catling who was barely big enough to be on his own at all, who had apparently been hunting bugs to survive, the poor skinny thing. I visited, and was holding him, and he saw one of the water-roaches (aka skateboard with legs) and leaped from my arms to pounce upon it and devour it instantly! Poor catling.)

Yay for being able to name-drop the Health Department!

[phoenixsansfyr]

Aww poor catling indeed! My Maines have decided roaches are for sitting on, and the Siamese just likes yelling at them. Thankfully we haven't seen any for a while. I'm pissed it took mentioning the health department to get them to actually do what works instead of the temp fix.
