It's like: Snoof! Ack! Boing! @Whack!
Aug. 31st, 2008 05:52 pmSuppose you had a job making internet porn videos, and you were trying to sign up Paris Hilton. All of your business correspondence would disappear into your spam folder.
Truly, the idle brain is the Devil's playground.

And Grammar Nazis everywhere did rejoice! I do have to note, though, that "up to ten items" is an ambiguous construction, leaving it unclear whether that's inclusive or exclusive of ten. Still, progress is being made.

I couldn't find my flaked red pepper. That's how it began. By the time I was done, I had completely cleaned out and reorganized my cabinets. I have all sorts of things I'd forgotten about - two unopened packages of nori, a jar of grape leaves, some canned shiitakes, a variety of dessicated soups... I just got done having a nice fish soup for lunch, based on one of the unearthed envelopes of dessicated Jamaican fish stock, some fresh veggies and frozen flounder. It's kind of like making dinner at someone else's house - you've got a bunch of promising stuff, but it's random found goods, rather than purposefully bought, and you make up something from what you have.
I still can't find my flaked red pepper, though. I wonder if I threw it away by accident or something?
I can imagine some future archeologist digging my half-full bottle of pepper out of the midden, and citing that as evidence of how wasteful 21C Americans were.

Sucks to live in New Orleans. I couldn't deal with having to run away and lose all my stuff every few years. Michael Moore considers having people's homes destroyed a small enough price if it inconveniences Republicans, though. I'm guessing he doesn't live in New Orleans.
And as it turns out, the hurricane gives W an unassailable excuse not to go to the convention. I'm sure everyone's relieved there.

I think I know where Rue Faubourg Ste Denis came from. In 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue', the hero lives on the Rue Faubourg Ste Germaine.

Phil Hill has died. They just announced it during the IRL race :(
Panther Racing is going to send a spare transporter to New Orleans at the request of the National Guard to help with relief efforts. Exactly how a racing transporter is going to be helpful, they didn't say. I'm surprised as well that Panther has a spare transporter. They certainly haven't got a spare of anything else.
And Helio keeps it alive. The championship will be decided in the final race of the year.
Justin Wilson stalls his car trying to do a victory doughnut :P
