I'm finally getting around to reading Diesel Sweeties. The first panel of this cartoon begs to be an avatar for me.

It's only funny if you work with Drupal.

Best warning sign ever.

Suzan told me a story tonight that was too fabulous not to be shared.

Friends of mine ran a pet store when I lived in Charleston. During Hurricane Hugo, they couldn't evacuate all of the animals in their store.  They knew the snakes would be okay, so long as they could get above the water level.  They turned all the snakes loose in the store, then proceeded to board up the windows and doors.  As they were finishing up, they decided to spray paint "Warning, loose snakes" on the front of the store.  They were the ONLY store in their shopping center to not get looted in the days following.  From what they could tell, no one even attempted to break in.

No words, just snickering.

The giving of 'red shift': 'this is the part where I'm gonna die'

Some of you knew about the full level of the shenanigans behind the giving of the quilt 'red shift.' For those of you who weren't there, feel the need to hear lots of truly gratuitous obscenities, or just want to giggle at 4x4 and Spitty getting their wedding present, I give you the videotaping of the giving of 'red shift,' videotaped by dear spousey Jeff.  Don't even try to pretend this is worksafe. Don't blame me if your ears bleed.

It was worth it.  Video (18M .mov file, alternate link here) after the jump.  Update:  Asai says no sound for her. It's playing fine for me. Anyone else having problems?

Extra notes:  no, you don't have to watch all the way through to the end.  I'm archiving the full thing for me; don't feel obligated to watch it all.

I shared this with a few people last night but it's worth re-linking here.  The Huntsville Times is running a tongue-in-cheek contest to provide new slogans for our sleepy, geeky city. The current suggestions are here.
