I learned something new yesterday.

Well, yesterday, I took someone off my ignore list. And my popper-upper popped up, telling me I had a new message, and lo and behold, there was a PM from that person dated like December 4.
So if you've got random unread messages in your folders, it might be because you've got mail from someone you're ignoring.

Huh. This explains a lot.

Monkey news
Aside from the bizarre editing, some nice quotes.
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A man who stole a pet capuchin monkey worth was sentenced Thursday to five years in prison.
Kenneth M. King, 25, who pleaded guilty to burglary in the February incident, was also ordered to spend five years on supervised probation. "You essentially took a member of that family," Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Michele Dane Jaklitsch said in handing down the sentence.
Brian and Michelle Howard, who own Janey, a white-throated capuchin worth $7,000, said outside the courtroom that their monkey has been frightened since she was returned to them two days after the Feb. 2 break-in. "She's very clingy," said Brian Howard, who bought the creature as a Christmas gift for his wife. Janey still holds a teddy bear for comfort.
Assistant State's Attorney David P. Ash said King and his girlfriend, Wendy M. Ward, 30, were intrigued by Janey when they went to the Howards' house to by a bird from them. King stole the 3-pound pet because he liked it, and Ward covered for him, Ash said.
After the theft, police received an anonymous tip from someone in Baltimore about a monkey. When they followed up on the tip, they executed a search warrant and recovered Janey, who was identified by her owners.
"You can't hide something like a monkey," said Anne Arundel police spokesman Sgt. Shawn Urbas said at the time
Sorry Shifty, I can't ever seem to find any interesting lizard news. It's all about monkeys.

Since NFH isn't doing her job.
It is with very mixed emotions that I read this in the SF Gate. Talk about blaming the victim. Though Faye Andersen is a cutey, and she seems to like squirrels!

Electrocuted Squirrel Blamed for Outage

(08-03) 14:45 PDT South Lake Tahoe, Calif. (AP) --
A squirrel was blamed for a power outage at South Lake Tahoe that left about 3,200 Sierra Pacific Power Co. customers without electricity. Power was restored Tuesday after about 25 minutes, utility officials said.
South Lake Tahoe firefighters and Sierra Pacific said the squirrel was on wires atop the power pole when it was electrocuted, caught fire and fell to the ground, causing a fire around the power pole.
Nearby residents used fire extinguishers to douse the flames before firefighters arrived.
The squirrel did not survive.
"He looked like he had been electrocuted," said Marty Creel, a South Lake Tahoe firefighter from Engine 3. "He was still and the tail was sticking straight out with some charring."
Animals such as birds have been known to cause power surges. But Tuesday's incident was larger than most, said Sierra Pacific spokeswoman Faye Andersen.
"This does happen periodically. Poor little guy," Andersen said.

What's the Skinny?
Does anyone have any stories invovling sex, lies, and office intrigue? Any dilemmas? Public nudity?

Just because he had a previously-explored idea for a book club, which was ignored, doesn't mean he gets to exempt his posts from the rest of the drivel.

Spanky's not exactly taking your advice:
"If I don't get a call from the Serbian by the end of the day tomorrow I am going to go to her place of employment and plead my case."

Interesting Tidbit from the Fillmore

Friend I am with is a good friend of Someone Who is (Allegedly) Associated with the Fillmore. Who, by the way, is a very good person to know. ANyhoo, I say to this person, "you know, I feel like I have a better chance getting pinched for lighting up a cigarette than a joint in here". He demurs at first and then says "its just bc more people here smokoe pot than cigarettes". I say "That is clearly true, but doesn't really address my fear of smoking a cig in here". He says "well, security will pinch someone for smoking a cigarette but will not pinch someone for smoking pot. The ordinance doesnt say anything about smoking pot but does about cigarettes". So I say "does the ordiance say, no smoking cigarettes or tobacco, or just no smoking?" and he says "Just no smoking." SO I say "cant they get pot somking under that then? Though I guess its okay to shoot up pot or snort it".
So dont be paranoid, 420 people, you have clearance. Just leave the Marbies at home.

Won't matter much in the future anyway. The trend is toward steaming dope or injesting it in food.
I personally don't seem to get as baked off the cookies (more of a body buzz than a good mental baking), but the health benefits can't be denied.
If they can get steaming more popular by developing a steamer that better conserves and utilizes dope, things will be really interesting. People could walk the streets with protopipes and bake all day without even the smell of it on them.
