Okay, how bored do you have to be to lick a toad?

Sitting in a meeting in Austin TX, I took a few minutes to read local news in KC. Blaring from the front page was the bold headline

"KC Man Accused of Toad Licking"

Just have to wonder how bored do you need to be, or desperate for a buzz that you are running around intentionally licking toads. Next thing you know folks will be eating mushrooms growing on cow dung...

I live in a cat house, over a bar...

Over the weekend, someone pointed out two interesting facts. First, I have cats, 3 inside and 1 outside cats (plus a dog, but that is another tale). And I am building essentially a irish pub in my basement, with pool table, dart board, kegs, the whole bit. So this allows me to proclaim "I live in a cat house, over a bar".

I like that in a perverse way...

Seems CSI NY has invaded Second Life...

I wonder what the rules of evidence are in a virtual reality...

The trick will be to get the right balance of work and drink....
