Schadenfreude needs about 2 minutes in the microwave first, and a parsley garnish works wonders.

Just got the new iPhone app for Posterous.  Good gravy is it slick.  Instant uploading of pictures and video made so easy even a troglodyte like me can do it without fouling things up.

I don’t know which of these reasons applies in my case, but I rather think neither does.”

ADULT SAYS: “Stop kicking while I’m changing your diaper.”
CHILD HEARS: “Kick me in the crotch as hard as you possibly can, like you’re Charlie Brown finally getting a shot at that football while Lucy isn’t paying attention because she’s staring at a pack of wolverines attacking a bunny, and laugh like a hyena full of nitrous oxide when I collapse on the floor praying to every diety throughout human history to end the pain and return to me the gift of sight.”
NOTE: Depending on age of child and angle of attack, you may fail to hear actual laughter due to your state of unconsciousness.

Some people think that a superior officer corps will win the day, and have placed their bets with the Generals Tso, Zso, and Gau of the Chinese — or on the Colonel of the Kentucky Fried division. Others feel the Burger Armies will prevail, with the Burger King issuing forth decrees from his White Castle. Some believe naval power will make the difference, and have cast their fortunes behind the pirate hordes of Long John Silver and the various regional Captains that dominate regional fast-fried seafood.
But they’re all tragically, inexorably wrong. The true winner will be the little canteen here on the campus where I work, especially if the battlefield is my large intestine.

It’s like high school all over again, except now I’m ancient. But summer draws near an end, and the Interblognet shall reap the benefits as I return to posting.
UPDATE: Server problems cropped up as soon as I posted this. Smart! More to say tonight.

Some sort of industrial air filter, maybe, or a hunk of coral if you lived close to the ocean.

The conference was in Boston, which is still a really great city if you can ignore things like the really bad way the professional baseball team is playing, or all the Democrats in bad suits preparing for the most boring event in FleetCenter history since the last Air Supply tour. I had trouble with those things.
But I did discover something nice about travelling, which can be a good tip for all you kids about to go into college: no matter where you are in the world, booze still makes you tipsy.
