I want to meet the person who thinks pancake batter in a spray can is a good idea.

I’ve been asked occasionally where my “scpetrel” handle comes from — no, it’s not “South Carolina Pet Relationships,” although that’s a good guess. No, it’s really not. Sorry. My alma mater’s mascot is a stormy petrel, which is a seafaring bird akin to an albatross. It was the favorite bird of James Edward Oglethorpe, who founded the state of Georgia and gave his name to the university. I wrote a features piece for the college paper back in the day about the origins of said mascot, including some original source citations about the poor petrels (which are oily birds) being set on fire in a storm so that the sailors could follow them to land. I am not making this up, I swear. Anyway, how’s this for a word of the day? I like the second definition.

I spotted this in the break room at work and couldn’t help but take a photo. Food poisoning, anyone?

To any of you who doubt that the world will be coming to a terrible end soon, let me show you one of the signs of the coming Apocalypse.
It’s a an electric toothbrush with a remote monitor.
In the words of Lewis Black:
” … the left hand side of the brain looks at the right hand side and goes, ‘It’s dark in here, and we may die.’”

We’re in Atlanta for a few days and went to the Georgia Aquarium today. Chopper and Helen overheard a comment that I am just relieved that I didn’t. We were in front of the penguin exhibit and a genius said:
“Oh look, they put bands on the penguins so they don’t fly away!”
There is no possible way I would have been able to keep my mouth shut. Not Possible. Some poor child is going to be traumatized later when she learns that penguins don’t fly.
Another genius comment, although not as bad, came in front of the sea lion exhibit. “Are those fish or mammals?”
And finally: “What is that fish with the saw?” while holding a card identifying said fish as a “sawtooth shark.”
Dear Lord. Today’s Quote of the Day from Scott Adams seems apt: “If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?”
Nope.

"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."
