Coati Tuesday
Oct. 31st, 2006 05:52 amSomewhere inside the Cavoursphere, the firecrackers began to crack, their brief yet frantic violence muffled by the iron bulkheads. The hatch swung slowly open, and Ernestine the Giant Chicken staggered out through the billows of yellow-grey powder smoke, only to topple forward with a feeble "Ba-awk!" and plant her beak in the Martian sand. "Ach Du Lieber!" thundered the Kaiser, "This is O'Schickelgrueber's doing!"

Fox dolls to cut out and colour.

An Alfa Giulia for friend Loganberry. It's not quite a GTA, but close...

Only a week until elections here. The Congolese elections this past weekend seem to have gone off remarkably well. It remains to be seen whether the losing side will go away quietly, though.

There is an unshakeable belief among the American blue collar class that any trivial complaint made in a loud, mock-aggrieved tone of voice becomes a trenchant observation on the nature of life. One of the cleaning people is currently holding forth for the amusement of her cohorts, who all laugh dutifully every time she pauses, because they know this sort of monologue is supposed to be funny. They've been conditioned to it by television.

Build-a-Wah!

Columbus Children's Hospital has sold the naming rights to their emergency room. Seriously. It's now the "Abercrombie and Fitch Trauma Center". My mind keeps wanting to imagine illustrations for this name, and I keep trying to stop it. I'm a fairly crass and shallow sort, but sometimes this country embarasses even me.

And then it was Coati Wednesday...
