SPANK
Ok, just cause a lot of people are giving me loads of crap for this, I'd like to point out that:
- I have never hit a child,
- I have no desire to hit a child,
- I'm not saying anyone SHOULD hit a child,
What I /am/ saying is if I know someone spanked their kid on rare occasions as a corrective measure I wouldn't call child protective services on them. I'd like to get into how "spanking" is not the same as "hitting", and that I personally think of spanking as a mild impact on the buttocks which is more about a scary noise than actually causing pain, but that's a whole nother can of worms I can open some other time.Friday, October 16th, 2009, 01:33 am
Balloon Kid
So is it OK to go back to spanking kids yet? Friday, September 25th, 2009, 09:51 pm
Arrr
I'd just like to point out that the DVD of "Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Love" is rated R. Friday, September 25th, 2009, 05:52 pm
Why do I always get something in my eye when there's acid on my fingers? Thursday, September 17th, 2009, 10:24 pm
Oh sure
That Pileated Woodpecker waited till 3 hours after I posted that horrible photo to come back. This time I didn't have to follow her (I'm told) into the woods.   Those don't really show scale, so here she is hanging off the suet feeders.  Thursday, September 17th, 2009, 01:11 pm
Pill
This bigfoot-esque photo is of a Pileated Woodpecker.  This is cool because it was in my back yard. Monday, September 14th, 2009, 08:17 pm
Timing
I was going to write a book called "20th Century Fawkes".
Then I realised Alan Moore beat me to it. Monday, August 31st, 2009, 04:01 pm

Testament
This is a testament to how much of a nerd I am.
We were at a Victoria's Secret, a store which, while selling many other items, is renowned for selling bras. There are many bra displays, bra posters, and bra-sporting mannequins.
One of the displays said "Wireless", and I go "Oh cool, they have WiFi in here." Friday, July 24th, 2009, 12:12 pm
Gah
I got Watchmen on Bluray today. I wasn't going to, because apparently a super-awesome version is coming out in December, but I couldn't resist! There's a friggin HOLOGRAM on the cover! A HOLOGRAM!!!!! Tuesday, July 21st, 2009, 01:39 am
Rain
It's RAINING! And really really hard! I hope it goes on for a few days.
I don't think it's fair that if a cat runs outside in the rain and I have to go out and get him, that I get more wet than the cat does. Monday, July 20th, 2009, 03:37 pm
For Michael Collins
Today is the 40th anniversary of the first time human beings form planet Earth who were not involved in Star Trek walked on the moon. I wouldn't be much of a geek if I didn't think that was way cool.
But it does bug me that nobody ever mentions Michael Collins.
Wouldn't even be a big deal except even NPR was doing it. They mentioned that President Obama called the Apollo 11 astronauts "Three American Heroes" and them mentioned that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were at the white house. Oh and also Michael Collins.
Michael Collins didn't get to walk on the moon. He was piloting the command module that stayed in orbit around the moon while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took the Lunar Exploration Module down to the surface.
He's pretty much the forgotten member of the Apollo 11 crew. Not a super huge deal but hey, thought I'd mention the guy. Saturday, July 11th, 2009, 11:59 pm
