Off-Topic: Leonidas Bush vs. Persian Chimp

And, for those days when you're in a really jingoistic mood, "How Japan Became America's Bitch".

I rode my motorcycle out to Yuma on Sunday. It's about 400 miles roundtrip. After refueling, I went inside to purge fluids, and decided to have an ice cream cone. Total impulse purchase, but it was 80-some degrees, and I was wearing a full gortex riding suit.

As I stood there licking my ice cream cone, an old lady came in. She looked at me with a superball ticket in her hand, and asked, "Is this your ticket?" I told her, "no honey, it's yours." Turns out she had five of six numbers, and the ticket was worth more money than the store could give her. When they told her to log in on the web and all the instructions would be there, she responded that she didn't know how to do that. She was clearly addled. At this point, the epiphany struck. We all get everything we want, only not at the time in life when we can/could use it. Guess it's the same for pigs.

I was listening to the White Album on the way to work this morning. Some piggies are more equal than others.
