Return

Posted by apostropher

I'm back from vacation and what a lovely vacation it was. A solid week of wine-fueled idling on the sound side of Rodanthe (third house down from the top left, specifically). We arrived early Saturday afternoon to note that between ourselves and the two other cars already there (carrying one person each), we had five cases of wine for the week. The house was completely swank -- more than any beach house I'd stayed in previously -- reminding me again just how much I'd like to be stinking rich. Sure looks nice from here. One of our crowd noted that, deprived of an internet connection, I actually sleep quite a lot, though I suspect cracking a bottle every day at noon helps at least as much.

So, I'm back to the paying gig now and while I'd like to promise new hilarity and insight, I have some serious catching up to do, so I'm not likely to write much. Every time I say that, however, bursts of posts tend to follow in rapid succession, so your mileage may vary. I only just got to post this now because I returned to find my website non-functional due to the dreaded 'Resource Limit Exceeded', server admin speak for "comment spammers on your site nearly took down our server." So, a new round of anti-spam measures are in place now: the scripts are re-named, the comments link will not open a pop-up window but will go to the individual post with comments instead, and you'll need to preview before you can post a comment. I stopped short of requiring TypeKey registration, but that could be next if the assault continues.

Until I get caught up (or bored catching up), I'll leave you with Hufu - The Healthy Human Flesh Alternative for vegetarian cannibals. It's finger-lickin' good.

The penis popped up into the news a lot while you were gone, from broken penises and Loreena Bobbit II to free Viagra for sex offenders.

The penis popped up [...] a lot while you were gone

That's between you and the Lord, my friend.

Thank God, it was not between me and the Lord. I pity the poor fools who got the short end of the stick on those deals.

Oh lord. My favorite quote from that site: "We also found that HufuTM is a great product for cannibals who want to quit."
