That is damn funny!

I think Carl would have approved :)

I was taught to leave two spaces when I went to school. I used two spaces since then until now. I work at a newspaper and they taught me that if you use two spaces after a period it creates 'rivers' of white space running through the columns.

it was a hard habit to break.

Tigerbitten - who says harmonica holders don't look like sandwich holders LOL :)

oops and I meant to put that I'd really love the Early Bird Alarm clock!

Cool!

Neato Story too!

GNARLY!

I live in BC (where Cranbrook is) so I can totally relate. In the town where I live there are tons of deer that have been crowded out of their natural habitat by development and have learned to live with suburbia. We literally have deer downtown and although they are cute and beautiful, they are hardly domesticated.

The fawn is fine, BTW. Mother deer let their babies sit quietly for up to 24 hours; every year so many fawns are brought into the SPCA or animal control when they should have just let them alone. The fawn looks perfectly healthy (and very young) and the laying down thing was just instinct. If there is danger they lay low in the grass (but there is no tall grass in the suburbs). Deer usually won't go where they are in danger, like a back yard or something and certainly don't go around picking fights with dogs - but they will defend themselves and their fawns.

I doubt that dog is totally fine though, it took a very hard beating. One of my coworkers has a sharpei that got between a mom and her fawn while in her driveway last year and the vet bill was $4,000 due to internal injuries and about a zillion stitches (deer hoofs are sharp).

I hate to see dogs get hurt because of interactions like this, because sometimes they are unavoidable. What makes me sad is that this interaction didn't seem all that unavoidable. She knew the dog's name, so I am a little mystified that she didn't try at the very least to protect it by at least putting the camera down and turning on her garden hose or something.

I love that! I live in a town that doesn't have any parking meters (yet) but when I got to larger cities that FAIL would be a welcome sight!

I also love the positive spin!

I love these guys. they are just brilliant :)

I'd also put Carl Sagan under cultural and social studies.

I'd also take a cooking class from Carl Sagan (if he were alive) I bet I would still learn something...oh wait... apple pie!

I love my crocs...

sigh.

Huh, William Gibson was right! He wrote about 'augmented reality' or really his version was like geo-coordinates with pieces of art all around and you could be hooked into different channels to see different realities.

Spook County (country??) sorry I'm sleepy :)

I think this originated from somethingawful.com under the forums "Goons with Spoons" I just made one on Monday and put the 'quasi' instructions on my facebook (the album is tagged so anyone can view it as long as they are logged in).
