Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That sounds like a lovely evening, Plei.

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

Now I just need a waterproof laptop. That floats. And has little propulsion motors to keep it right in front of you, and laser rangefinders so it knows where it is in relation to your head.

eta: And a very short range microwave weapons system for getting rid of bubbles that get in the way of the screen.

Yes, you should definitely work on that, Tom. Also there should be a separate spigot in the tub for wine so you don't have to get out to refill the glass.

How is it that laptops today don't have that?

So twice this week I have seen a guy in a carrot outfit handing out flyers on teh street. Today he was dancing. Everyone should get to see a dancing carrot on their way to work. The world would be a much better case if they did.

I, for one, welcome our new vegetable overlords.

More embarrasment for Kansas.

The Kansas Board of Education voted 6-4 Tuesday to include greater criticism of evolution in its school science standards, but it decided to send the standards to an outside academic for review before taking a final vote.

The Kansas school system was ridiculed around the country in 1999 when the board deleted most references to evolution. The system later reversed course, but the language favored by the board Tuesday comes from advocates of intelligent design.

The intelligent design concept holds that some features of the natural world are best explained by an unspecified intelligent cause. Evolution is a fundamental scientific theory that species evolved over millions of years through natural selection.

The standards are used in developing state tests for fourth, seventh and 10th-graders, though local schools have the final say on what is taught in their classrooms. Students will be tested on the new standards in the 2007-08 school year.

The board is expected to vote on final approval of the standards in October.

"The intelligent design concept holds that some features of the natural world are best explained by an unspecified intelligent cause." Oh, that is so not science.

On ET a couple of nights ago, they showed Pamela Anderson on the red carpet at some event with someone dressed up as a carrot. Clearly the carrots understand the power of celebrity endorsements.
