Monday
Another work week begins. Nothing out of the ordinary.
No gaming tonight. ::: shakes fist :::

Went out to dinner at The Olive Garden. and came over a later. Nox and I killed many things (…and died many times…) in Halo. Then came music videos on various stations. Within two (2) minutes, we saw the same White Stripes video on three networks. THREE networks! Egad!

  • came back from a long weekend of SCA warring. She made a comment about being happy that she didn’t have to deal with the “Flaming Blue Idiots” at this event. and I exchanged a more-than-slightly puzzled look and then asked her about it. She explained it as follows:

    At an SCA event a few months ago, some drunken idiot decided that soaking his penis in brandy and lighting it on fire sounded “fun.” So he did. Word of this spread around the camp. Soon, over thirty people – men and women – decided to try it. One person even got so bold as to use a butane or propane (I forget which) lighter to ignite himself. One of the participants made the observation that a blue flame was better than an orange one. (O_o)

    When she finished her tale, and I could only stand and stare in slack-jawed bewilderment.

  • Hullo and welcome to
  • Actor Hume Cronyn has passed away.
  • Business Owner Chases, Runs Over Robbery Suspects In Hummer
  • After Friday’s news items about The Shrub and the Segway, this seemed to go hand-in-hand with it.

I have an earlier-than-usual start of the day coming up… I should probably call it a night here.

Namaste.
