So it might be a little more useful to you. Those of you who are actually putting forth the effort to figure it out have nothing to be ashamed of - some of your ideas are close, in twisty ways. Those of you who play to entertain me are doing your usual fine job. I'm running out of really obscure bits... so I'll probably just start cheating.

This one's for QM

The year is 2016 and the United States has just elected the first woman President – born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, served honorably as a nurse during Gulf I, attended Harvard under the GI Bill, graduated Summa *** Laude, culminated a distinguished career as a twice-re-elected state governor with a successful bid for the Presidency of the United States.A few days after the election, the President-elect calls her father and says, “So, Daddy, you will be coming to my inauguration...

The New Denizens of Castle Argghhh!

The new inmates are shown here, keeping a nervous eye on the fuzzy-faced portly guard as they line up in the exercise yard for roll call and ID photos. This pic enlargifies.

Playing Catch-up

I just got where I was going last night, got a quick walking tour of the immediate surroundings. My present world consists of -- in no particular order, since I was still pretty fuzzy from spending a day and a half stuck in airports and airplane seats -- bunker, flight line, bunker, hootch, PX, medical facilities (US and NATO), laundry facility (singular), Greek restaurant (closed for food violation), Lebanese restaurant (open 24 hours), PX, bunker, coffee shop, various headquarters and barracks...

A little blast from the past.

A Shove Against Corporate Greed

My hovercraft is full of eels.

Моє на повітряній подушці наповнене вуграми. Not that the craft I'm currently hovering actually *is* full of eels, but that's one of the gems I scored when I googled "Useful phrases in Ukrainian" last month. Besides, getting it full of eels would involve going Dnieper-dnipping, and it's a tad too chilly for that right now.Although it was pretty temperate when I snapped that.Okay, right about now, you're probably wondering why I was googling "Useful phrases in Ukrainian"...

Veteran's Day 2011

I run through my usual tropes below - but I want to make a special point this year to thank our Vietnam-era veterans - like, Bill, V29, Grumpy, Concrete Bob, 11B40, et.al., who made it their mission to ensure that the current generation of brand-new veterans would have a completely different homefront experience than they had. And to thank all the others, veteran and non-veteran, who have worked to make sure that while America was at the Mall (at least back when we had the money for that) some Americans...

From one paradise to another...

In the world of Top Gun, it's Goose who dies too young. Kittehs watch movies, too. And in the Ziegenfuss household in Hawaii, they got the story backwards. In Top Gun: Hawaii, it's Maverick who dies too young, as Carren had to send him to Piddler's Green yesterday because he lost his fight with an internal flight of MiGs. Goose and family mourn today. Maverick is the tall dark handsome fella on the right. Gandalf the Grey of Castle Argghhh! went to Piddler's Green just a few weeks...

One behemoth swallowing another...

A Feral Infestation

First of all, I have to apologise for my Commo Silence. But as of late, I am back in my ancestral home dealing with a rather intense situation. Still, as the world turns, it has become very evident that in the years of my exiled absence, a feral infestation of non-native beasts have taken over my old neighborhood.

Buy this book... or the fat elf gets zapped with the Death Ray®!

Not much of a marketing hook, but whattayaz 'spect from a Bad Cat Robot who aspires to Evil Galactic Overlordship through the liberal application of her Death Ray®? No, really, our own BCR is on Amazon! A note from the author: "It's live and everything! Plus, I only put it up four days ago and 8 copies have sold.

Staff Sergeant Cowdrey comes home.

If you are on Facebook, look up "Duke the Funeral Horse" for an amazing set of entries on the return of Staff Sergeant Cowdrey. The picture above reminded me of a song - more specifically, the end of the song "Free and Green" by David Kincaid, which was written about the Irish soldiers during the Civil War (though it is not contemporaneous to the war, but was written far more recently): Well, we took his body home And the drums and pipes did drone And pulled a fine black casket...
