Onward

Paper penis costumes.  I kid you not.

Squid slash.  Or perhaps masturbation.  But males are getting inseminated, down there in the dark depths.

Carnivorous squirrels.

Caffeinated soap.  That, my friends, is brilliant.

Giant Spider Attacks Liverpool!  Film at 11!  No, wait…film now.

Virgin shark birth.  No, really.

Yeah, that’s enough for tonight.  NaNo planning proceeds, and my money flies away as fast as I can earn it.  Maybe faster.  Not sure yet.

But who wants to hear about that?

So, I leave you with…fainting goats.

She claims not to believe polar bears are endangered by global warming.  The accusation is that she flat-out lied to defend her position, but I don’t know that.

Her executive experience is less than two years as governor of the largest state in the union.  A state with a population that, in 2000, averaged 1.1 persons per square mile.  While I’m sure moose are much harder to lead than people, that still doesn’t speak to me about her qualifications.  Rhode Island, smallest state in the U.S., has more people than Alaska does.  Forty-six states, and Puerto Rico, have more people than Alaska does.

She doesn’t know what a vice president does.  Does she have a lieutenant governor?  Who is taking over while she’s campaigning?  (Google to the rescue!  Here he is.)  Does she have no idea what her lieutenant governor does?  One might be able to extrapolate from there, I’d think.

Oh, and–there are many copies, and they have a plan.  

Abject apologies I just climbed out from under my rock and realised I have not updated this since the long board was invented… You would not believe that my hands were chopped off and I was waiting for bionic ones. Seriously!

I am devastated with discovering time doesn’t stand still, learning to speak Japanese, just generally being a nuisance to various lawyers I met recently, my day drifts aimlessly from when the nightclubs close till I am begging my kid to go to sleep or so help me God that kid will be decorating my wall, ‘Duct tape still life’. I am avoiding recapture. I need a nap.

I go, my lords and ladies; just I will make more of an effort to blog more often until the nice men in the white coats come back. Until I need your shoulder to cry on. Unless of course the pool with the cocktail bar is heated!

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

He was right.

Go get hold of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.  Not the movie, either.

Well, go on!  Why are you still here?  *wanders off to study physics, philosophy, and human nature while laughing her butt off*

If you have any way at all of getting your hands on it, the BBC’s Planet Earth is incredible. Think chimpanzees are peaceful vegetarians? Planet Earth will show you another side. Want to see lions hunt elephant? Planet Earth has the footage. A penguin backing off a fur seal? A spider that carries an air supply so it can go diving? A six-foot salamander?

The Diaries section alone is worth getting hold of an episode. Ever wonder how they get those incredible shots? A man named Simon tied himself to the boat so he could put his all into filming Great White Sharks jumping completely out of the water without fear of falling overboard if he leaned too far. A man named (I think) Paul spent some 100+ hours in a blind to film the courtship dance of Birds of Paradise. A team spent, IIRC, six months in the Himalayas, trying to get footage of the snow leopard hunting.

And did they ever get it!

Watch this show. I’m getting it a disk at a time from Netflix, but it’s not hard to find.
