So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

OK, this is over the 360,000+ posts of Natters 1-36:

Sigh. no love for the echidnas. Or mole rats. Mole rats!

Not work unsafe so much as work ambiguous. Or art. Depending on your taste.

Not the spoon girl? She was pretty naked under the flatware.

Oh, I think the spoons need some, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I did echidnas. Did I forget to post it?

The perl script I have doesn't like the space between 'mole' and 'rat'.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks. 87 posts with "mole rat" (using the plain grep method). perl is still running.

eta: The perl script gave me 12. Wheras

cat * | grep -cirh "mole rat"

gave me 87. Huh.

Echidna power! Though apparently the mole rats are in front. Cunning critters.

I've started reading a book, The Philosopher's Dog by Raimond Gaita. I suspect I will be recommending it, as I've been very impressed before with Gaita's philosophy and writing. I doubt I'll fault him on the subject of animals.
