Hippo manure can smell pretty dang bad, apparently. What business does the government have seizing this poor man's hippo anyway?

I hate goats.
My brother and his family took a two and a half week vacation to Yosemite and Oregon. My father is visiting family in Illinois for a week, and my mother is judging a show in Boston or somewhere. I get to take care of my brother's 3 cats, 6 kittens, 2 rabbits and one dog; as well as feed dogs and goats for my parents. Let's not forget milking twice a day. Today I got up and took care of all of my brother's animals, went to work at Peterbilt, got off at 1AM, had dinner, went to my parents and milked and fed, and am now waiting for milk to pasteurize to feed to baby goats tomorrow morning. It's 4AM and I'm still doing fucking chores. If I'd forgotten why I moved out when I was 17, I definitely remember now.

If the next World War started tomorrow, what would be the sides? First, I think that the EU would pretty much stick together; but coz they bicker so much they would never really be able to support any given side. We've aligned ourselves with Pakistan, which means against India. India also hates China. Most of the Arab world would be against us, and Israel would be our own private air base and resupply station. Back to China, and Russia as well. Both don't like each other, or us; but none really has great animosity against any other.

I'm going to invoke my power of veto, as one of the founding members of willworkforflooz. Jeremy, I forbid you to move to North Texas.
Funny story--we have a Mexican named Tino working with us for the summer. I like the hell out of him. Yesterday I dropped him off by his truck, and when I said, "Thanks for your help," he said, "No, thank YOU." You can't beat a guy who thanks you for letting him work. And of course he's the only person there who consistently works hard without complaining. Anyway, the funny thing is that we were talking about Texas yesterday, and it turns out that his son is at UNT in Denton, working on his Masters. So now Tino and I talk about Texas, and I get very homesick.
There is no more destructive force than college students.

So let's see what the score is in the where-should-jeremy-move-to game. Shawn and Bethany think I should move to Virginia or the Research Triangle, since they think they'll be living in one of those two places in a year. Andy thinks I should move to North Carolina. Steph thinks I should move back to austin, since she'll be there in 6 or 8 months. Devin thinks I should move to Alaska.
I think I'll move to North Texas.

This is what I thought, too. I guess we'll see how this all turns out.

Of course I was kidding, although 4 million is a lot to pay for a single painting. I just wanted to provoke someone else into posting. flooz is getting too quiet, what with Devin apparently having a job and some kind of life, me working all the time, and Jeremy doing whatever Jeremy does. You would think Uncle George and Steph would pick up the slack, but nooo.....

Art should never be created out of self interest. Art should only be created for the benefit of the collective.
I hope you were kidding.

I sure wouldn't buy one of Sony's copy-protected CDs, even if you can beat the protection with a magic marker. I believe people shouldn't have to pay for art.

The current top news on CNN. Compare that to the top news of the last week. I think it's stupid partisanship that suddenly all the conspiracy theorists want an "investigation" of what the Bush Administration knew prior to the 9/11 attacks. It's even stupider that the Bush Administration has adopted this smokescreen tactic to drive the investigation onto the backburner. "We think Al Qaeda may be planning an attack on us." Well no shit, Sherlock. They should fire the CIA and the NSA and the DIA and whatnot, and hire me instead. I'll sit in a room with my own desk with my name engraved on a little nameplate, and every morning I'll call the Pentagon and say, "Did you kill all the Al Qaeda yet?" and if Rumsfeld says, "nope," then I'll call the President and say that Al Qaeda is planning an attack on the US. Then I'll play Solitaire for six more hours, go home early, and rest comfortably in the knowledge that I've done my country a huge service that it formerly took an undisclosed number of federal employees and an undisclosed number of billions of dollars to accomplish.
