Jones added that in recent months he had noticed a “strange odor” coming through his vent.”We thought it was probably dead mice in the vent or something,” he said, adding that he had talked to the landlord about it.
D.C. Council member Marion Barry, who represents the neighborhood where the bodies were found, questioned why no one had reported the four missing.”
Somebody should have known that some people were not in school,” said Barry, the former mayor.
And a headline that I so totally didn’t anticipate a few years ago, I’ll admit:
Glowing Pig Passes Genes to Piglets
So, color me surprised, even though, somewhat contradictorily, I would have been more surprised had it not been the case.

On the way home from work I stopped for an oil change (for my *car*, you pervs!).
I got to talking to a little old lady at DeKalb Tire on Roswell Rd., and she got to telling me about all the outrages she’d watched on TV while waiting to get *her* (car’s) oil changed.
Jeezus! Young woman killed and decapitated, and evidence scattered over a couple of counties; kids thrown in Mobile Bay; murdered kids in DC.
Even though it’s only Wednesday, I stopped to get a bottle of Woodbridge chardonnay from the Koreans on the I-285 access road.
The world’s wireless LANs will be a little less secure tomorrow, I’m afraid. Me, Bilbo Baggina, and the bottle have a date.

I think getting rid of the tv part helps a lot, Patrick, but that’s hard to do if you live with people cause usually you don’t get to be idiosyncratic like that when people are around all the time.
Comment by Patrick Carroll on 1/9 @ 8:06 pm #
Dear happyfeet: I really watch no TV, but what I TiVo (House, Simpsons. South Park, (get the picture?)), so mostly I see little of the “it bleeds, it leads” stuff. And I have loads of people at home.
I guess I’m just *sensitive*.

In DC. Yes. There is no state or county government, and so no state police or sheriff–the US Marshals serve those functions in the Capitol.

On the (related) other hand, maybe this is a clue that God is a committee. I mean, placing a recreation area in between two sewage processing plants, and then placing sharp instruments on the property….

Y’know, Semanticleo, watching you and your cohorts cavort, I begin to wonder if the American education system has developed something I would have previously considered impossible: a coherent anti-education program designed to totally thwart anything resembling learning, and awarding Doctorates in Cluelessness to people who can absolutely prove that they know nothing and are impervious to information in any form.
Voltaire would have seen what Dan was up to with that; so would Marx. Hell, Hegel would have seen the point, and possibly chuckled — which would have made the whole thing worthwhile; making that pile-driven dourmass smile would be the mitzvah of a lifetime. You? Nah. Here’s a piece of literature that, whatever its undeniable faults, served as a common source of metaphors, similes, and homilies, the glue that held Western literature and letters together, for ten centuries, and a simple play on one of its basic concepts flies by you like a Tokyo-bound 747.
Semanticleo, ClD (Honors). Yeah, that works.
Regards,
Ric

When BushCo gets rid of them, no one notices.
Recently some Libs helpfully apprised me of this signature feature when I asked them to name someone who had disappeared via the BushCo’s machinations.

Yeah, Berkeley woulda’ hadda’ Locke on it and Hume woulda’ had similar room to presume. But as Collins noted later; ““Art is not what you see,†noted Edgar Degas, “but what you make others see”.
It’s the humor, stupid, not teh irony. If you Kant, then you can’t.

A clue could walk up to Miss Cleo, kick her in the shin, punch her in the gut, and slap her right across that face only a mother could love, and she would still miss it.
