If I'm reading one article on a newspaper site linked from someplace else, I shouldn't need to subscribe. While a few sites can let me get away with disabling my adblocker, most actually want me to pony up for a sub--no more free trials. Even private browsing mode doesn't work.

It is a universal truth: Greed abounds.

So I twisted my ankle at work today, didn't really hurt until I got into the car and drove home. Meh, just another sore spot.

In other news, I'm about to throw my phone across the room. Shouldn't have to keep proof reading posts every five words because it makes up random words.

I thought about how many of the CSI/NCIS/L&O style police dramas are on all the rerun TV channels these days, and I was reminded of a funny. Maybe this one's been done in one show or another, but I always wanted to see an episode where what appears to have happened was really what happened, the obvious suspect did in fact do it, and the cast is tying themselves into knots trying to prove otherwise because (by genre rules) it's never that easy.

That has happened in real life. Back during WW2 a lot of soldiers would write "Kilroy was here" on everything. A young lady in England was murdered, and the message "Kilroy was here" was at the murder scene. The police started looking for a soldier that might have done the deed. In the end they found the murderer was a local man named Kilroy. He wondered why it took them so long to find him.

Aw, congrats! Hopefully it can be a fairly open ceremony with more than 3 people. There were some pretty restricted weddings in the past year. I told my friend that when they can, they should have a big, late reception. All I got to see were pictures.

I'm going to be a married man soon.

So if a fork with three tines is referred to as a "Trident", are there "offcial" names for forks with two, four, and five tines?

Bident,Quadrident,Quintident?

Perhaps, playing a game of Talisman to just past Midnight before a workday wasn't the brightest of ideas, but on the bright side, I did win.

I'm dog-sitting next week, so I want to find a sumo suit for my doghters Corgi daug. Needs to be tri-color and match her real coat.


"But... she looked so hungry all the time!"

Random thought: I rarely have sucky customers so I feel like I don't have that much to post about. If I do it goes on the fb page.

Husband: In Zack Snyder movies, people who get stabbed and shot bleed like 10 times more than normal.

Me: The average adult human has about 1 1/2 gallons of blood in their body at any given time.

H: How do you know that?....oh, right.

To which I said, "Yep. It's right next to the do-it-yourself vasectomy kits."

That is one of those gifts that some women give to their man.

That the gift for when she's too cheap for the orchidectomy at home kit.
