Ingenious Idea of Robber.

I’m craving some sweets. A doughnut, milkshake or ice cream sundae. (my cravings usually go towards savory or salt.) I wonder where my sweetie got herself off to today… I’m just chillin’. Got my chores done, and will do my laundry tomorrow.

Absolutely Innocent According to Way He Explained it, but Judge Was Doubtful.

The other evening a man of the burglar type stepped up to an old gentleman and, handing him a piece of paper, said:

“Sir, would you be good enough to read me the writing on this piece of paper?”

The individual addressed consented and, moving toward the rays of a convenient gas lamp, read the following words:

“If you utter a cry or speak a single word I shall shoot you. give me your watch and chain and your purse at once then pass it on.”

Completely taken off his guard, the gentleman handed over the articles asked for and walked off. A few steps brought him to a policeman, and, relating his story, the pair proceeded in pursuit of the stranger, who was not yet out of sight.

Next morning, before the magistrate, the vagrant was called upon for an explanation.

“Your honor,” he said, “I am not an educated man, and, therefore, can neither read nor write. Last evening I picked up a piece of paper, and, it striking me that it might be of some importance, I took it to the first person I met and asked him to decipher it. The gentleman read it quietly to himself and then, without saying a word, handed me his watch, chain and purse and walked off without giving me time to recover from my surprise or ask him what it meant.”

Best shot I could get of newt this morning…he was all snuggled up close, and I reached over to grab the camera… he picked up on the photo-vibe, and made a run for the litter-box. (I’m not into kitty-scat photos, so that ended that.)

When I come back from the dead, I want a halo.

text m’s I got this morning, via livejournal.

Kind of unusual. These appeared during the night, as I slept. I think I have an idea who did it, but I’m not sure. I did like getting a random howdy, though.

(f:god)i think you forgot to wipe your ass when you were on the toilet just now

(f:god)mensa just called, they wanted me to tell you you’re too creepy even for them

I wonder if they’re totally random, or from someone on my friend’s list. I actually had to think back, and see if I was on the potty at that time. I wasn’t, but it’d have been bonus wacky if I had been.

Hee… the Scotsman is keen. I love his peg-leg that doubles as a machine-gun.

Newtie’s mers won over my sweetie tonight.

speaking of freakishly cute…. this entertains me all too much. He doesn’t want Trix, he wants your pointer.

Today’s featured site on the Cruel Site of the Day got me thinking about music during gaming, surfing ambience, things like that.

A Estonian band called Rondellus has produced an album of classic Black Sabbath songs sung in Latin and performed in an authentic medieval manner with period instruments. Just think of “War Pigs” as a Gregorian chant.

The CD is for sale and the site includes sound samples and blah blah.

At first it struck me as funny, but you know I can’t just leave anything like that.

Imagine presenting the music as passages from a Latin translation of the Necronomicon or tome of choice. If you aren’t expecting Black Sabbath, the slowed tempo and radically different style can disguise the identity of the song for some time. Just the thing for a campaign involving Goths and R&R and backward masking and MK-ULTRA and Anton LaVey and Bobby Beausoleil and the whole merry gang.

parting thought before bed…night night
