if leaving town for a day is what it takes to get a good … um … day’s sleep, then I am going to have to start being nicer to my suburban friends. ’twas lovely not to wake up every time a garbage truck backed up.

the best reason for gun control
People like me.
I’m not saying I’d ever go out and buy a gun. I wouldn’t. I’m too cheap, for one thing.
But I’d sure as hell use one, if one were just lying around.
People and things I’d use a gun on, if one were just lying around:
- The person in the apartment building behind mine who has used his gas leaf blower every morning for the past week, beginning at 7 a.m.
- shithawks, any and all, particularly between the hours of 4am-7am.
- ravens, when they get on my nerves after a night when I’ve been unable to sleep because of #1 and #2
- Cheney, just on general principles. I mean, he hasn’t invaded Canada yet, but a gram of prevention is better than a kilo of cure, eh?
- the person or creature who invented beeping alarms for trucks backing up or doors opening or closing. And the person who made them mandatory. I’d shoot them in the legs, then the arms, then I’d stand there and watch them bleed out. It takes quite a long time, you know.
No reason I know that.
CHARO!!!!! BOLERO!!!!!
Yep, it’s an excerpt. You gotta pay more for the happy finish.
the only funny story about the War on Lebanon
No, really. I don’t care WHICH side you’re on, this is hilarious! I can just see all the soldiers of other armies, trying to convince the higher-ups that it should be mandatory for all female personnel, for defensive purposes. But seriously, what are they putting IN those things? Kwik-Kast?

JERUSALEM (Reuters) – An Israeli woman’s breast implants saved her life when she was wounded in a Hizbollah rocket attack during Israel‘s war with the Lebanese group, a hospital spokesman said on Tuesday.
Doctors found shrapnel embedded in the silicone implants, just inches from the 24-year-old’s heart.
“She was saved from death,” said a spokesman for Nahariya Hospital in northern Israel. The woman has been released from hospital.
