An epiphany over something that I've been trying to wrap my head around for ages has just given me a happy. (Well not exactly a happy but whatever the extreme polar opposite of desperation is. Hope?)

I was just looking up poison oak with google, and I came across a website where people seem to be posting home remedies for the rash that most people get when they come in contact with poison oak or poison ivy (yes, there really are people who aren't allergic to poison oak. I'm one of them). One of the, erm, "remedies" is this:

Ingredients: Quaker Instant Grits and Honey.
Instructions: Mix 2 bags of Bacon Flavored Quaker Instant Grits with hot water. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and mix until you can't see the
honey. Eat this for breakfast. Then do not go around poison ivy. You are guaranteed not to get infected.


If it's not obvious to you why this is so fucking humorous, it's because if you "do not go around poison ivy", you're not going to get the rash, no matter what you ate for breakfast.

Thanks for explaining that, fuckbaked. You truly are a king of comedy.

the Resource Centre gives me the BIGGEST happy.

It's as if someone sat down and said, 'how do we solve all of GGM's most pressing organisational problems. in one place. for tiny amounts of money.... like THIS'.

'and actually, maybe we haven't done enough and could tell her how to do all the things she has no idea about as a bonus. Yes, let's do that as well'

I heart them *so* much.

It was so dark a couple of nights ago that I could see the Milky Way from a field in the New Forest. I believe this is quite unusual in the UK, I’m sure I read somewhere that it is only visible from certain remote areas in Scotland and Wales. So there I was, gazing at the sky in amazement whilst waiting for the ponies to finish their dinner when suddenly, for a split second, there was a bright light zooming across the sky. It can only have been a shooting star.

I saw a shooting star - how fucking cool is that! And so very Christmas-y as well. I’m off tomorrow to be pampered by my mum for a few days.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas, mice.

This morning I rummaged at the back of the wardrobe in the wee bedroom to find a T shirt to wear, it being awfy cold oot. And it gave me a big happy when I found my Say Bollocks to Flamingoes T shirt that Seldom Killer had made to commemorate the Big Barbepicnic in Brockwell Park in Summer 04.

Now I just need to find where I put my No Kiss Kiss Bears for you, Queer Granny shirt and I'll have the full Barbelith fashionwear set.

I can't believe the Daily Express has given me a happy.

A few days ago, they had a list of "ten facts about penguins". One of the facts was "penguins sleep more deeply in the morning than in the afternoon". The one that followed this was "the above fact was discovered by a French researcher who kept note of how many times he had to poke sleeping penguins with a stick before they woke up at different times of day".

I can't get it out of my head and it's wonderful.

That french researcher was probably the guy that made the march of the penguins movie. "Hey get up you, we have a movie to shoot!" Small surprise, the penguins looked so unhappy in that movie!

I wonder if Peter Jackson tried that with the main actor in his new flick?

I adore the fact that poking penguins with sticks is now scientific research. If any UK (or Antartica) university offers a diploma in it I'm so there ...

I love the fact that, because it was scientific, the stick will have been applied at a precise and consistent pressure by a machine invented for this purpose alone. I hear the whirr of an electric motor and see plump, penguin tummy being deformed to a depth of 8 millimetres. Retract ("whirrrrrr"), stop ("clnk"), re-apply ("whirrr"-"SQUEAK!").

am I the only one who doesn't get a happy at the thought of humans poking penguins? I like my penguins living stick-free, in fact, I like the idea of penguins poking humans with sticks.....

Yeah - just why is it acceptable for humans to poke penguins? Does it have to be justified by the penguin being really, really naughty...oops, I mean for scientific research.

Couldn't they be put on the Naughty Berg instead?

(new thread, anyone?)

Of course, if the penguin was cycling on the pavement it would clearly be ASKING for a good poke.

Is that your justification for poking badgers with spoons?

I think I missed the part where I needed a justification.

Tonight we had a Christmas Quiz at Duckie and our own utterly fabulous Miss Cherielabombe, cheered to the echo by Xoc and Ganesh and sleazenation, won a bottle of Tequila on stage in the ultimate nativity quiz. Yay Cherry Bomb!

And this morning, still pissed, Xoc and I have - for no reason whatsoever - taken to talking to one another in crap West Country accents a la the more 'rustic' members of The Archers. It may reflect the amounts of alcohol remaining in our systems, but we're both finding this ridiculously amusing.

I just bought a jacket in the sales that I tried in September but it was too tighht on me. Now it fits perfectly AND it's half what I would've paid then!!

YES!

I have officially crossed the boundary of 4,000 words, and as long as I can hit 5,000 words before 5pm tomorrow I can watch some more of my Twin Peaks box set in full and decandent knowledge that I am on leave from work until Tuesday to write an essay that has, in fact, been completed!

I have also just seen a squirrel get twanged by a slender yet surprisingly bendy tree branch.

Hehehe.

Probably not but, I'll take my chances that none of you know where I work or live.

The likelihood of getting rolled is remarkably slender and by tomorrow morning the money will be Canadian Travellers Cheques.

Cat calls 911 to help owner, police say


January 2, 2006
COLUMBUS, Ohio --Police aren't sure how else to explain it. But when an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911 call, an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living room floor. The cat's owner, Gary Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed having fallen out of his wheelchair.

Rosheisen said his cat, Tommy, must have hit the right buttons to call 911.

"I know it sounds kind of weird," Officer Patrick Daugherty said, unsuccessfully searching for some other explanation.

"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.
