Yes. I'm not kidding. My mom's birthday is today.

And, since it's April First: http://aprilfoolsdayontheweb.com/.

Also, I meant to post this yesterday. Since it's weird.

And there's this, which is old, but still worth sharing.

He comes in and asks to use the bathroom. Denied.
He says he just wants to get some water. Still denied. And it's not like he can't just walk an extra few feet into Safeway and use the water fountains there. Or to the Wendy's, where they have cups, and ice. Or, hey, the Safeway has a Starbucks that gives you a whole large cup full of ice and water. With a straw.

I'm considering pointing this out, when suddenly:

"Silent Hill? They made a game of that?"

I'm pretty sure even the crickets you normally hear during moments like that were stunned into silence.

Edit: I forgot, I was going to add this. I thought it was funny....

Some of you might know that name, because you know goochs_dad2001 from yahoo chat.

That very happy dog in the video now has terminal cancer.

I'm not sure what there is to say. Losing a pet is hard. You can't prepare for it, and nothing makes it better. We're all lucky to have the time together that we do, and pets like Gooch are very lucky to have found themselves with owners like goochs_dad2001.

Aw. Kitties.

Thanks, femme_politik.
