Hi! *waves*

Happy Friday, everybody.  On the schedule for this weekend:

-lawn mowing, if the ground dries out enough
-possible trip out tonight
-getting the pictures off my phone, and at very least onto a computer.  Some need to be posted on LJ.
-possibly stopping by the office to get some work done I haven't gotten to this week (see how responsible I can be when I'm not being harassed and hatin' my job).
-working on FAA 14, which has been sitting on my laptop with less than two pages completed, as RL stuff took up lots of time
-defragging the laptop
-getting some old poetry up here and at thisisby.us, for comments etc.

In other news, went to see Aubriot last night at 'The Red & The Black'.  Great show, they did a very cool mash-up type cover of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows.  Also, I'm thinking about adopting the bar cat, Knuckles.  I have to meet one of the barbacks next week and discuss.  I have a few pics from this show, and video from past appearances that I may post.

I kinda love this...Politics and humor oldie but goodie

Highlights:

Q: Aren't the Taliban those bad radical Islamics who chopped off people's heads and hands?

A: Yes, that's exactly who they were. Not only did they chop off people's heads and hands, but they oppressed women, too.

Q: Didn't the Bush administration give the Taliban 43 million dollars back in May of 2001?

A: Yes, but that money was a reward because they did such a good job fighting drugs.

Q: Fighting drugs?

A: Yes, the Taliban were very helpful in stopping people from growing opium poppies.

Q: How did they do such a good job?

A: Simple. If people were caught growing opium poppies, the Taliban would have their hands and heads cut off.

Q: So, when the Taliban cut off people's heads and hands for growing flowers, that was OK, but not if they cut people's heads and hands off for other reasons?

A: Yes. It's OK with us if radical Islamic fundamentalists cut off people's hands for growing flowers, but it's cruel if they cut off people's hands for stealing bread.
