Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

'Time Bomb'


Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Please tell me all the cookies will be eaten before I get there. I'm not a sweets person per se, but I do like cider and caramel.

Nope! There will still be cookies. And pumpkin coffee cake, in spite of the great Libby Pumpkin Shortage '09.

After reading about this, I'm glad I put up 9 quarts of pumpkin puree in the freezer.

Damn you. I usually lose weight on vacations, but that was before I became an exerciser-person. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I love the Franti clip. Even as Obama disappoints me (expected) their family delights me.

Liv's best friend from preschool is Jewish, I think we're going to get her one of these for Hanukkah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the great Libby Pumpkin Shortage '09.

And did you guys hear about the Eggo waffles crisis?!?!?!?!?

Noah is super cute on skates!

I had dinner with an old friend, which involved kind of a lot of drinking. Hmm.

Oh good lord! A part broke in two plants?

I remember the first year I taught in the District, I'd go into the cafeteria and there were signs about the bacon shortage. And I laughed at how insane I found it. But now, eggos AND pumpkin. This is a sign of the upcoming revolution. When the food supply goes, the government is screwed.

It was the lead story on the local news the other night. This is why I stopped watching local news.

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

This is why I stopped watching local news.

But how else are you going to get the candlepin bowling results?
