Much ado about ... er, something

A bit of a brouhaha developing across the pond, over racist remarks made against Shilpa Shetty on Channel 4's Big Brother (see the link for extensive coverage)

Now, I don't - by any stretch of fevered imagination - condone racism ... or for that matter, any form of intolerance. But at the same time, part of me does wonder "How many of these comments were deliberately made to draw attention to a contestant on a reality TV program?"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

WHY? WHY? I NEED MY PC!!!!

Mother (Nature) has a bad temper

So the temperature is expected to plunge about 20 F today. That's right - today. For those of you in Celcius mode, that's a drop of nearly 10 C in about a 12 hour period. This morning at 8:30am, it was about 58 F (13 C) when I left home. According to weather.com, at 3:30pm EST, it's 35F (2 C). And this isn't counting any of that wind chill factor crap, either.

I just hope I get to fly out on Thursday night.

At least it's not raining.

A Poyum!

Oh, woe is me!
My call to arms has been dispatched from the Amazon!
How I burn to join the Crusade!
To slake the draenei-ing blood lust!
Alas, my PC lies in smoldering ruin!
I curse the weeks I must wait for redemption!

Philosophical conundrum ...

If there were a contest for losers ... how would you measure "success"?

I mean, if someone "lost" the most, then he (for lack of a unisexual pronoun) would be the "winner" ... which means he's not the "biggest loser".

And if someone "loses" the least, then he would be a "loser" ... which means he's actually the "winner"! But, but ... if he's the "winner" ... then he can't be the "loser"! Which means ... aarghmybrainisbleedingsendhelpsendhelllllllllllllllllll
