Chocolate Dogs, Ice Cream Cats, Cheescake Mice
...all just waiting for hungry humans I had a dream last night, the subject being one of the 4-5 recurring dream plots I've had for most of my life: going somewhere in a motor vehicle.

We Still Like Monkeys
...as long as they don't fling poo Stuff 1: It seems that Wizards of the Coast is gonna shut down the official D&D social networking site, the awfully named Gleemax.

Chocolate Frosting On A Chicken Fried Steak
...two great tastes that should ever stay apart BACK ISSUES OF ALARUMS & EXCURSIONS FOR SALE! Ok, here are the back issues I have for sale.

Bright Yellow Dragon Eyes
...dimly seen through the smoke So, today I went forth, as I did yesterday and so many days these past 6 weeks, looking for a job.

The Adventure Of The Grubby Gardener
...as reported by John H. Watson, MD Yesterday's excursion in the garden was satisfying...if, by "satisfying" we mean exhausting, filthy, hot, sweaty and punctuated by neighbors taking their children indoors when I would cry out "Die, weeds!

The Kitty Cats Go Out Dancing
...and drinking About a week ago, I picked up a 1947 paperback edition of Robert Benchley's book "My 10 Years In A Quandry". It's full of short 2-3 page essays, any one of which is funnier than much of what passes for humor writing nowadays. Not screamingly funny, mind you, but funny stuff nonetheless. However, … Continue reading The Kitty Cats Go Out Dancing

...who envies the duke's fashion sense Stuff, Damned Stuff Went to a Job Fair yesterday. 17 companies, most of which wanted salespeople (not my area of expertise), some of which were telemarketing/work at home scamsters and none of which offered anything for this poor jobless lad.
