This week I’ve been under a spam attack. Some bot is posting references to each and every post on this site multiple times for multiple products. It may go on a long time, since a machine can’t be told that the stuff will never ever actually be published on this site. But it wastes my time deleting email announcements for every incident, and cleaning out my spamcatcher daily. But it was a decent week altogether. The best meme I’ve ever been tagged with comes from Saskboy. I’ll make up my own rules and say it’s allowed for me to skip this one. If Kentucky goes communist, well, I live close to a border. I skip memes a lot, although I shouldn’t, because I once responded to a meme and got a job out of it.

Instructables has a photo essay on the process of shipping a tiger to Canada. According to someone who does this a lot, the hard part is getting the tiger into the box. The author had a little trouble actually finding a tiger, due to their camouflaging stripes, but he got the job done.

The weirdest news stories of the week. 

MA AND PA

(Thanks, Rich!)
There was a romantic full harvest moon rising on the eastern horizon. Ma and Pa, both in their seventies, were enjoying the beautiful autumn evening together, sitting on their front porch swing, rocking gently.

Suddenly, Pa turned his head and said to Ma, "Screw you, Ma!"

A minute or two went by. Then Ma turned her head toward Pa and calmly replied, "Screw you, Pa."

Again, another minute passed, and Pa said to Ma, "Screw you, Ma."

Another minute went by, and Ma said to Pa, "Screw you, Pa."

Yet another minute elapsed, and Pa responded to Ma, "Screw you, Ma."

A minute later, Ma said to Pa, "Screw you, Pa."

There was no reply - just complete silence for several minutes.

Then, Pa turned to Ma and said, "I don't know about you Ma, but I really don't get too much out of this oral sex!"

Thought for today: Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
