Promoted

Now that things are apparently working again, I can let you all know that Pete and I were promoted to rokku kyu (6th level green belt) in Taijutsu tonight. Yeah, so havachu!

Testing

I was just farting around with settings. Hope I haven't broken anything.

Wierdest shopping list ever

"Let's see, sir: That's one jumbo package of number-three diapers, three small bottles of "Chicken Dinner" baby food, and one turkey baster. Will that be all tonight?"

I wonder how these clerks manage to keep a straight face when someone like me rolls through their lane. The only thing better would have been for me to have The Wife with me, dressed in thigh-high patent leather boots, hot pants, and a fur coat.

Get that smirk off your face, Jim.

Just for the record, two of the three things on that shopping list are for the paralyzed cat who's not eating or drinking.
