Not really amusing me because it's pretty macabre, but we have a slow flowing drain and I poured some draino down through the inspection plate to try and move things along a bit, and then a toad popped up near the hole. I tried to get him out, but he hopped back down the drain, so now I keep thinking he's going to disolve in the draino and become this toad skeleton at the end of the drain against the wall of the gravel pit.

Gross i know. Please don't judge.

I guess we'll now add Draino to the ever-growing list of things that will kill you in Australia.

Make it into a cake, or it didn't happen.

Yes

Funny thing about the Uncledigr that passed the other day. I mentioned he was a Marine. Outside of that he was still one tough sumbitch. He survived a couple really bad car wrecks, back when cars were made of steel and seat belts were for pussies. He tangled with a running circular saw, and only lost a thumb.

But apparently, he was pretty nice guy, too.

I'd never heard this, and Momdigr only heard it during the eulogy.

Years (and years) ago, this poor, dumb bastard breaks into Uncledigr's house. While he, his wife and first of two kids were home. Uncledigr came around the corner, found the noise he heard, and just beat the tar outta this guy. I mean, just within an inch of his life. Beat him unconscious. When Uncledigr came back to himself, he said that he was really scared he had beat the guy to death. So, he scoops guy up, puts him in the car, and takes him to the hospital, where a doc asks "What happened to him?". "I think I killed him."

He didn't kill the guy. The guy was just beat the shit out of, after all. But, the guy turned out to be an ok guy, too. He came back (much later) and apologized to Uncledigr. And, believe it or not, they became friends, kinda. I mean, they didn't have a "Broke Back Mountain" thing, they didn't go fishing together, they didn't exchange Christmas cards, but...

This guy spoke (delivered the eulogy) at Uncledigr's funeral.

That speaks volumes. To me, anyway. About both of them.

:devil:

Wow!

The winner forgiving happens occasionally, but the loser forgiving is rare as hen's teeth. Uncledigr must have been quite a guy to have the loser forgive him.

That is amazing!

Mr. Clod has been up all night with a work problem (major server on the east coast is down, costing the company roughly a thousand dollars each minute.) He is on the phone with whatever third-party software company who is responsible for the failure, and has reached the point where he is no longer mad or panicking, but brutally calm and mocking.

They have told him that the person who they think can help him will not be in until 8 AM, and he has in turn told them that they will remain on the phone with him until that person arrives. In the meantime, he will lead a group workshop on how to improve their escalation procedures. He just jovially but sincerely instructed one of them to take notes, and type it up for documentation later. It's freaking hysterical.

I work the other side of that phone line and no it isn't.

At a thousand dollars a minute they could fly some goons to the dude's house and drag his lazy ass out of bed.

At least that would happen in a lot of the movies I've been watching lately.
