My Great Big Day of WTF
Apr. 12th, 2010 07:04 pmThe kittens ignored their breakfast this morning, instead staring transfixed at the pair of mallard ducks strutting around the lawn. I am hoping that this is just a brief stopover during their flight to Canada and they do not plan to nest in our yard.
Lord Branwyn and I met for lunch today at a little diner located midway between our offices. At the sound of sirens, everyone in the place looked up and stared in amazement as a young man on a bicycle was forced off the street by a police car and a cop on a motorcycle. This slow-speed chase was followed by what another diner termed "the most pathetic takedown ever" as a vastly overweight and out-of-shape policeman pushed the bicyclist to the ground. He moved so slowly that there was no chance that the kid was hurt. Two additional police cars showed up to deal with the suspect who looked like he weighed all of 120 pounds. No one in the diner had any idea why the bicycle was pulled over; my suggestion was that one of the tail-lights was burned out, lol.
I found out this afternoon that plasticized body parts are going to be on display four blocks from my office. I am not sure if this is being put on by Bodyworks, but it is the same type of exhibit featuring Chinese cadavers of dubious provenance (it is very likely that the bodies of executed criminals are used). Not only will this carnival of horrors be near my office, it will also be right across the street from some of my favorite lunchtime eating places. Yum, nothing makes me want to sit down and eat like the proximity of flesh puppets. Lord Branwyn suggested that we picket the exhibit, but I pointed out that that would require me to go near to it. :(
In happier news, today is the kittens' first birthday. They continue to fill our days with chaos and delight.
