Let’s all play with the little fuzzy ducklings, little fuzzy ducklings, little fuzzy ducklings.
Let’s all play with the little fuzzy ducklings, until we’re exposed to Salmonella.Let’s all incubate the Salmonella, Salmonella, Salmonella.
Let’s all incubate the Salmonella, until we get diarrhea.Let’s all have persistent diarrhea, persistent diarrhea, persistent diarrhea.
Let’s all have persistent diarrhea, until we’re hospitalized for dehydration.Let’s all get an iv drip, an iv drip, an iv drip.
Let’s all get an iv drip, until we also need antibiotics.Let’s all take antibiotics, antibiotics, antibiotics.
Let’s all take antibiotics, until we find out the strain is resistant.Let’s all barely get better, barely get better, barely get better.
Let’s all barely get better, until a little while later when we come down with abdominal pain and alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation consistent with irritable bowel syndrome and painful reactive arthritis in all our lower joints and also have bone spurs and burning urination and spend years and years in agonizing misery wishing we had never touched those fucking fuzzy ducklings.I’m writing a children’s book.

(From Littledogstar’s DeviantArt) A piece of art I was given that still makes me smile…:
How Good Omens Was Not Written
At the Neil Gaiman Q&A at Anticipation (Worldcon09) in Montreal, he mentioned something about how people tend to believe that he wrote the plot to Good Omens and Terry Pratchett went after him strewing all the jokes.
The original now belongs to Neil, thus why I don’t have a proper scan but merely a photograph. 8)
Neil and Terry belong to themselves. >_>
Inbox back to zero. Worth the effort, as I found an embarrassingly large uncashed check. It’s no batgirl photo, but nice, none the less.

Seasoned Google product manager and swashbuckling linguist, Inigo Montoya, was recently promoted from the Hey, Self-Driving Car! project to the Gmail Offline…Heh…No, Just Kidding You Actually Have to TOTALLY Be Online…Yeah I Know, Right? project.
Progress continues apace.
“ No person or entity shall manufacture or knowingly sell food or any other product intended for human consumption which contains aborted human fetuses in the ingredients or which used aborted human fetuses in the research or development of any of the ingredients.”
An actual piece of actual legislation written by an actual Oklahoma state senator, who was later quoted as saying, “I don’t know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here.”
Why? Because some anti-choice dumbasses are whipped into a tizzy because Pepsi had the gall to contract with a company that has developed a sort of automated taste tester that uses stem cells from a line originally derived from a human embryo in the Netherlands in the 1970s.
Yes, those 1970s. I mean, really now.
