Please tell me this didn't come as a revelation to you...

No but sometimes it's harder to embrace than others.

I still love you all.

Robert and I just read "Drums of the Fore and Aft" the other night.  It once again brought me to tears.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Had a cat in the fridge once. True story.

Dad opened the fridge door and Pharoh pops out with a "MOROAW!"
We still havn't figured out how he got in there without someone noticing in the first place. Or why he went in the fridge.

Which is not as bad as my aunt, appliances and her cat. She turned the dryer on while the cat was using it for a nice naptime.

You could have just kept a pile of floppy disks next the fridge and burn one every time you open the door to provide the necessary lighting.

That's because a power hungry pure evil one would have broken out of the dryer and killed her in her sle....

....can I borrow your pure evil one? Only need it for a day or two.

Six. One to hold the lightbulb, two to rotate the ladder, and three to start unrelated topics.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
