bounce away the virii

while many of you reeds have finals, i'm sure the lack of TDN has still been on your mind despite the constant stress the semester is putting you through.

fear not!

this blog shall return soon. for now, i am ill, and my level of funny has been drained.

i'm working it back up, you know with funny pills, and giggle drops.

today is monday, december 18th--and this is your half-assed, run-down installment of TDN!

ok, i never finished that thing about the visually impared hunting.

right, that's obviously not a good idea.

i'm very against discriminating against the visually impared, but it seems like a laser can tell you to shoot a human same as it can tell you to shoot a deer--how can the laser tell?

(got an answer, science?)

ok, and here's some new news:

Health officials blamed a highly contagious, hard-to-get-rid-of virus for an outbreak of illness among nearly 400 patrons of an Olive Garden restaurant outside Indianapolis.
(CNN, "http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/12/18/olive.garden.outbreak/")

right. so some olive garden closed down in indianapolis, indiana.

apparently the cause was a "hard-to-get-rid-of virus."

way to play the scapegoat card, olive garden. why don't you just take the blame for this one and quit blaming the poor hard-to-get-rid-of virii?

seriously.

and to end it, here's one of those guys who can bounce quarters really well and then gets really excited about it.

have a great monday night, reeds. let's hope a good night's sleep shakes the sickies outta me.

part I: blind texas gun laws!

good evening, reeds!

it's late afternoon; the sun is setting on this thursday, december 14th, and i'm here to give you another installment of tiny damaged notions!

let's play a little game called "how much absurd," shall we?

it's easy to play. you simply point out "how much absurd" this next news blurb has. got it?

(blog.washingtonpost.com, "http://blog.washingtonpost.com/offbeat/2006/12/blind_texas_gun_laws.html")

"visually impared texans, grab your rifles!"

that's a good start.

then, of course, there's a picture of rudolph to accompany the report. seemingly illogical, it pertains to the "laser sights" that visually impared citizens would be using to guide their santa-esque bullets to the chimney-esque prey.

now granted, this was a blog post; and blog posts can be, at times, ridiculous.

(hello)

but, it raises a valid point: the visually impared, hunting?

more on this tomorrow...
