What Country Is This?

Posted on by

I received an email today about a demonstration yesterday. In it, 16 people were arrested for protesting the leader of the country. Two of those arrested had bogus charges levied against them.

  • A cleric was charged with “assaulting a police officer” because the officer claimed that the cleric touched him. In reality, the cleric was pushed to the ground from behind while holding up his hands and saying “I am not resisting.”
  • A veteran was charged with resisting arrest after falling down while trying to get into the paddy wagon that would take him to jail.

All in all, 16 people were arrested for “civil disobedience”. Want to guess which country this was in? Click on the (more…) for the answer.

Friday Night TV and Other Things

Posted on by

“Men In Trees” was lovely — the Anne Heche character tells her philandering ex to kiss off after he claims that she wouldn’t sleep with another man… and everyone in the bar claims to have slept with her. (It was cute and no, she didn’t sleep with any of them.) And duuuuuude… the raccoon has adopted her!!!!!!!!!

On “Countdown”, Keith replayed his “special comment” from Monday night. It was very awe-filled. Read it here.

To Pisco: thanks for coming on and chatting and making me laugh and all that. You totally and completely rock our (Jon’s and my) world.

To God: thanks for the rain and the wind. Just hold off the snow until after the burial tomorrow, OK?

To the Biaxin: could we stop with the icky taste in the mouth and the making me feel rundown? I kind of have a life I need to live, m’kay?

The podcast is being put together and will probably debut around 10/15.

That is all.

Men in Trees

[in best fan-girl voice]

Like OMG, I watched Men in Trees tonight and it was, like, soooooo good!Â? Highlights were:

  • Marin trying to use the example of ordering a soy lattÃ? in a talk to a bunch of backwoods Alaskan guys.
  • Her trying to shoot down the wildlife biologist who really doesn’t give a rat’s butt about flirting with her.
  • THE RACCOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Her EXTREME FAN-GIRL STALKER taking the bus up to Alaska from Vancouver to cheer her up.
  • The incredibly geeky innkeeper who hooks up with EXTREME FAN-GIRL STALKER and the two of them finding out that they know each other from online.
  • Her trying to get cell phone reception — I SOOOOOOOOO relate!!!!!!!!!!!!Â? (It’s a joke out here because only in various small towns and up along the Canadian border can you mildly get reception.)

So anyway… I have a new show to get all fan-girly (fan-girlish?) over and… yeah.Â? (Trying not to end a sentence with a preposition can be a pain.)

Would The TSA Allow Mentos?

Posted on by

Due to my addiction fascination with Mythbusters, I came up with a thought/question that I posed to Jon one night while we were out walking:

Given the reaction that happens when one puts a Mentos into a bottle of Diet Coke, wouldn’t it be appropriate for the TSA to ban them on commercial flights because some idiot could think it would be funny to stick one in a can of Diet Coke or Pepsi on a plane?

I’m just sayin’…
