Announcement on the Tube this morning:

"Ladies and gentleman, this is your driver speaking. This train is being taken our of service due to human excrement in a carriage. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, some delightful person had a crap on my train."

My nieces are a trip.  The three year old torments the shit out of her older sister, it's hilarious.  She's becoming a professional antagonizer, just like her Uncle.

6 year old-- "I was talking to myself, and McKinley told me to shut up."
Uncle Jay Jay-- "McKinley, we shouldn't tell people to shut up."
3 year old--"But I was talking to MYself."

How do you argue with that?

I thought that was normal behaviour on the tube

That's what you told the cops last time you were here, eh?

That is SO precious!

That is SO precious!

Isn't it, though? I feel all Merithus now, and want to procreate and buy a mini-van and a $2,000 stroller.

I R Nervous.  It's going to fucking rain today.  Great.   I'll give you a report of the failure.  Probably not long after 2:00 PM Central.

Good luck, Raz.

You know, I have had the dubious honor of dealing with some of these fools; they were trying to get our neighborhood to ban cellphone networks antennae.

There is 'ridiculous', there is 'very ridiculous' and even 'utterly ridiculous', but as far as I know, English has no words to define 'WiFi allergy' and the unscrupulous con men that are trying to scare the public.

The day one of those... gentlemen suffers a sudden outburst of pain when he switches on his toothbrush or I-Pod, can't get near an airport without fainting, suffers torture when he nears a TV, radio receiver or any other electric device... that will be the day when they deserve a modicum of attention.

Actually, as we have been bombarded every second of our lives with "radiation" far stronger than WiFi "radiation" (from TV and radio emissions, radars, and now from cellphone networks too) they wouldn't deserve attention even then.

Most are simply ignorant and wrong, but some of them are deliberately lying.

Not since they banned drinking.

News no doubt quite terrifying to the young lady imprisoned in your basement.

For a mini-van I recommend the Odyssey.

Volkswagen's 157 mpg concept car. They consider producing it in three years. It's really small though, but fits two adults (one in the front, one in the back). It's an interesting concept for a city car IMHO.

Or the moon.
