Computers -- regardless of hardware architecture, operating system, or
software -- all have one fundamental similarity: they suck.

Estrogen replacement therapy is one of the treatments for spayed bitch

Just been reading the story of early aviation pioneer John Bevan
Moisant. He was the first man to fly across the English Channel with a
passenger (his mechanic), and his pet cat Mademoiselle Fifi (or Paree)

A wild bear mauled to death two militants of the Hizbul Mujahideen
outfit in a south Kashmir forest Monday, officials said.

Republicans win Virginia, New Jersey governorships

Ferrets, for instance, are generally susceptible to the seasonal flu,
and the AP reported Wednesday that H1N1 infection has been confirmed
in two ferrets, one in Nebraska and the other in Oregon.

You have used up your lifetime allotment of cable ties.

Now you know why they call it a you're-a-peein' vacation.

I'd look more closely at the Morgan Plus-Four - The Morris Minor had
sour wheels I believe.

Stuffed animals are not imaginary. Only their friendship is.

In the event of rapture, can I have your ham?

Every year, when baseball season is over, thousands of people pile
into the Astrodome and it cruises to Shreveport and points east until
they run out of hot dogs.

There's a wee little robot running around my loft, cleaning up after
me.

But he always smelled bad, even right after a bath.

And what could heaven possibly be without bacon?

Probably just a fuckup, or maybe chicknen is Chinese for cat. I dunno.

Don't like pseudonyms? Mark Twain says "fuck you".

What is it - grouchy tourism? "Look Muffin
- that's real sputum in my coffee!"

Also, I am interested in the staff's recommendations, as they eat
there all the time and have likely sampled most things on the menu, or
at least have seen them prepared. So if the waitress responds to "I'll
have the scrod" with "I shouldn't think it advisable, sir," well, I'll
likely plunge headlong into a series of hilarious misadventures where
I have to pass myself off as Opus by way of stealing a cow creamer for
Dover and accidentally becoming engaged to Veronique along the way,
only to have the waitress suddenly materialize and save the day,
causing me to admit she might know a thing or two after all and
solemnly pledge to never order the scrod again.

___________________________________________________________________
Finally, it is possible I'm the creature that pops out of the guy's
chest in "Alien".

I'm just so terribly insecure.

I am sitting within the Pascack Valley as I type this.

I used to be able to type.

I don't know, you naughty boy, I've never penguined.

I had an invisible friend once, but he moved away.

I remember the 70s as being the decade of instant.

I'm a single man, so I get my clothes in supermarkets.

I'm inclined to think that Fifi and Fluffy have just as much chance at
Heaven as I do.

I feel the same way about liver.

I must post this news about the Stones somewhere. It may not go viral,
but maybe it'll go rectal.

I've got a kitty right here ready to scratch your eyeballs out.

I was confused long before it was posted.

I used to get shivers singing Flesh Failures.

I think someone's trolling for the massed avenger.

If I have could have a hand in choosing a quick method of my demise,
death by cupcakes would be near the top of the list.

As much as I would like to take credit for it, I really have no
influence over who does or not.
