Sci-Fi channel continues to show 2012, the 2009 film about the 2012 end of the world:

I saw that and wondered whether it was still a banned topic on the forum.

What a weekend.

First, before 6:00 AM on Saturday, I get a call from my extremely distraught daughter. The night before was her and her cat's first night in their new place. This "new" place happens to be a trailer in the back yard of a house. She woke up, and her cat is no where to be found!

Sometime in the night, she left the trailer to go into the house to use the bathroom. She was afraid the cat got out at that time. In a new neighborhood, he'd be, well, very difficult to find .

But later in the day, she found him, hiding up under the driver's seat. You just can't imagine her relief.

Then on Sunday (again before 6:00!), I heard a big commotion in the yard. I rushed out to find a coyote eating one of my chickens ! I yelled and the coyote ran off. Then the chicken got up and ran to me! She didn't have any bleeding, and she wasn't limping. She had lost a lot of feathers though! The coyote had plucked her lower back . She spent the rest of the day sitting on her nest, recovering. But she's out in the yard today, eating and drinking. Seriously, another 30 seconds and it would have been too late.

Animal drama, animal trauma. But it's all good now.

I think there's a good chance the coyote will be back, though. You need to provide the chicken with a shotgun and drill on how to use it.

I'm bored.

I have deleted the solstice December 2012 in my time machine.
I do not want to trigger a time quake and get banned on the forum.

Have chickens. Will ship.

Happy the cat was found, so glad you saved your chicken, poor thing. I hope you're able to create a secure area like dl did, a lot of work, but worth it.

Hey, I thought the internet was supposed to be shut down yesterday (according to Anonymous). Did I miss it?

A coworker from another building came into my office this morning and asked if he could leave his black backpack in my office while he was in a meeting.

Today I got an e-mail from my sister in which she notes:

"I can't remember if I mentioned I went back east in March for a conference in Boston and also visited Alex and Jennifer. the place I stayed in Boston was right between the two Marathon blasts."

Tonight when I was drawing in a coffeehouse a girl came over to look at my drawing. Turns out she is studying geophysics. That's the first one of those I've ever met.

 

[collinsmark]

Did she introduce herself appropriately?

Oh, my. I totally drained out my bucket-o-ranch tonight. Now I've got to go get another sooner than later.

I wonder if the people at McDonalds "Sound-test" the names of their new products. I went to McD's
yesterday (hadn't been to it in a long time), and the cashier asked me if I wanted a McCrap ( turned out to be McWrap, Phew! ) with my meal. How can I reply? Er...please spell it for me before I give you a definitive answer... or : I think someone's in the bathroom right now...or : is that part of the meal?

I stopped by McDonalds for the first time in about 10 years this evening. (I was starving!)
I ordered a Big Mac.
What I heard from the "sound" device was; "Would you like anything besides your salad?"
Salad?
I just ordered a Big Mac.
"No thank you!", I said, "I JUST WANT A BIG MAC!"
"Would you like anything besides your salad?"

So I turned and looked, and saw that the little LED display said; "1 Big Mac"
I ran though the things that old people like myself might interpret as "salad", and decided that she had said "Sandwich".

I said; "No thank you! I'll just have the sandwich!"

...

When did hamburgers become sandwiches?

 

[dlgoff]

Then, it will surprise you that the most American of all establishments, McDonald’s, sells a sandwich in India with primarily lettuce, tomato, onion, and salad dressing. Called the Salad Sandwich, this entree item sells where a large chunk of the population is vegetarian and has no problem eating a salad inside a sandwich bun.
