"Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite"


I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
Across the Irish Sea,
I'm walking backwards for Christmas,
It's the only thing for me.

I've decided to beef up my calves and start wearing sock garters.

Very good show! Thanks for taking the time to post.

It is not always about winning every point. For me, it is about improving my style smile Against you, brevity is a better tactic. biggrin

One of my pet pevs is assumptions. My profession centers around intrusion detection and forensic analysis. I have been stung enough in the past while working off a wrong assumption.

My father-in-law went to Amsterdam and all I got was this lousy... drug paraphernalia?

Oh, and a pencil, but its a cool pencil.

I am not the seventh son
I was born without the caul
I am not the weirding one
This weekend was not strange at all*

Guess who's spending a lot of time reading Dr. Seuss aloud?





*Well, except the girl young enough to be my daughter who tried to pick me up at Amoeba. That was a little odd.

I really don't want to get into wild, unfounded speculation on the CE boards, but here's my grasping reach of the Berg murder.

The time stamp lapse could be explained by halal butchery. Butchery is a common skill in that neck of the woods, as religious prescription and proscription for meat preparation is very important and animal husbandry widespread. Halal butchery involves stabbing an animal's cartoid artery to bleed it to death, which could take some time. Blood loss would also make decapitating a living man easier.

If Berg did spend time in Iraqi police custody shortly before his abduction, then he might as well have painted a big glowing yellow Star of David on his chest. His last name and U.S. passport with Israeli visa stamps made him a walking Al Queada wet dream.

Foreign fighters have poured into Iraq over the last year, however a confirmed Al Queada presence is new. The permissive, sympathetic or collaborative Iraqi environment for Al Queada operatives and activities marks a new decline in security.

It drives me batty every time a wingnut proclaims Bush & co. is doing well in "fightin' 'terrah."

Sorry to have hijacked your journal like this, brer.

So apparently, in the Cook islands, all the cricket playing kids are Tin Tin fans and the the macho Rugby playing guys are Asterix fans.

Good to know I still have nerd cred, even in Polynesia.

In other news, my neighbors seem to have invited a small marching band to practice in their backyard.

Why yes, of course I have time to look into the $5.63 you claim we underpaid your cheap assed University six months ago.

Some days it just doesn't pay to speak English.

So, the 15 foot peach tree in the back yard essentially collapsed under the weight of its own fruit last night.


Let this be a lesson to overachievers.

So, in the last four days I have received three separate, unsolicited comments about my hair.

Two said I look like Neil Gaiman, which is new. One said "Its very 70's" and the ensuing conversation turned quickly to Peter Frampton.

On the other hand, I haven't gotten a Bob Saget in a dogs age.

I'm weighing the pros and cons.

Frampton eh? I kinda think it looks more like Egon in Ghostbusters in those pics of you with your zombie errrm daughter at the beach.

I've gotten tons of comments on my hair too...although when your hair goes from shoulder length to about two inches at it's longest in 15 minutes, that'll happen i suppose. One person said i looked like a lawyer...and then quickly apologized haha.

Juice is still good for you if you put vodka in it, right?

At a yardsale, Gretje picked up a circa 1958 dessert cookbook for me. I don't know how stiff they poured their drinks back then, but it couldn't be any stiffer than they baked sweets. A slice of Baked Alaska would be sufficient to knock an elephant on his butt. Every damn recipe calls for soaking something til it reeks.

And reeking reminds me of the neighborhood folks who "found" a snowcone machine last summer. The kids got KoolAid flavor, and the adults got MadDog 20/20 flavor... ugh.

So, somebody threatened to blow me up yesterday. Not me personally, exactly, the Bangladeshi consular offices upstairs. Nevertheless, it was a bit of a shock to come back with lunch in hand to be told that evacuating our floor wasn't "mandatory". Needless to say I opted for the "optional" evacuation under the theory that while their probably was no bomb in my office, there was...
