Well today I "Stopped AIDS", "Defeated Cancer", "Ended Hunger", and
"Housed the Homeless". However, I did not "Promote Education", because
I wouldn't want the world's valuable supply of stupid people to be
diminished.

How did I do these wonderful things, you may wonder? It was EASY! In
fact it was so pathetically easy, I sort of had this twinge of thought
that maybe my sterling efforts to "Defeat Cancer", "House the
Homeless", and "Stop AIDS" might not have been totally effective. And
I am still feeling a bit hungry, even after I "Ended Hunger" FIVE
TIMES. So I went and did it again! And again! I went to
http://www.freedonation.com/ and "Clicked" on the "Buttons" with my
"Mouse", thus curing the incurable, and housing the people with no
houses. Maybe tomorrow I'll "Support The Arts", or "Protect The
Environment". But not today, today I'm happy with my medical and
social effort. I just wish they had a button to "Send Beable Lots Of
Beer". I bet I'd click that button a lot. Mmmmmbeeer. Other buttons
I'd like to see are "Cancel 'Malcolm In The Middle'", "Clean Up The
Kitchen", "Stop Slow Drivers From Hogging The Fast Lane", "Give
ST00PID Managers A Clue", "Save The Plankton", "Kill A Communist
Leader With An Ice Pick", and "Troll Joe Bay".

cheers

If the brie quesadilla wasn't a painful shock,
what is? Maybe a snail burrito? You can use
the ice pick to get 'em out of their shell.

don't worry, phil!
I've heard that you austrians are going to be allowed
to use the "witty ark post" button soon!

every time you press that button, an electrical shock
will be sent over the internet into bob hope's skull,
forcing him to emit jokes and/or pablum. a court
stenographer will be standing by to record his words,
then post them to the usenet in YOUR NAME!

won't that be deliciously GRAND?

I think I'll skip that and post my usual brief drivel instead. But
thanks anyway. Besides, isn't there a risk that the shock could kill
him?

Holy crap. vim just wrapped "him?" automatically. That wasn't supposed
to happen - well, it's quite handy, really, but I wasn't expecting it. I
guess that's what happens when you apt-get upgrade willy-nilly in the
early hours of the morning.

Also, while I was writing that sentence I saw something floating in
front of my face. At first I thought it might be a tiny little spider
hanging down from the ceiling on a delicate thread, but upon leaning
back and focusing on the mysterious object I discovered it to be a small
tangle of fluff, possibly from the jumper I'm wearing at the moment.
I have no idea how it could have not only become detached from the
garment, but float indefinitely without any visible support until I
swatted it away as though it were some tiny insect (though not a spider,
to which I would respond by catching the aforementioned fine thread at a
point a foot or so above the spider and dragging downward and away, so
as to place the spider down somewhere out of my way).

I need sleep. And food.

if you don't want bob hope to dribble for you, well hey,
it's your loss. and no, electric shocks won't kill bob
hope. BOB HOPE CANNOT DIE. this has been demonstrated
over and over in ARK.

bob hope is praying to jesus manfire right now for sweet
release. or sweet relish. I'm not sure which.

During the Halloween party here at the store they had Caligula playing on
the telebision set in one of the rooms.

I haven't seen this movie (IF you're talking about
a movie) so I'm not sure what the connection is.

as far as I know, I'm quoting a song I don't know
the words to. or the name of. or the performer of.
all I know is it ends with the words "and a baby's
arm holding an apple", recited by one of the
chimunks.

of course, I may actual know more and just not
realize I know it. I'm wacky that way!
