Journal buffer-overflowed's Journal: Hodgepodge: My Dog, Slashdot, and Something which Amuses me. 1
My dog is a 75lb, 4' 8" from head to tail and 2' 4" at the shoulder monster who believes that she is a cat.
She skulks like a cat, she acts like a cat, she's skittish like a cat and she even kneeds you to wake you up like a cat. She is cat-dog, destroyer of worlds.
If it weren't for her sheer size, doglike appearance and the fact that she doesn't make me break out into hives, I would suspect that we had misidentified a bobcat. Blood tests and a preference for dog-food confirm that she is in fact a card-carrying member of genus Canis species Lupus. Behavior implies that she may also be of sub-species familiaris, but the jury is still out on that(I suspect that they may have swapped the blood samples at the lab... the Feline conspiracy is vast).
Slashdot:
I've started thinking of Dupes as Mulligans. It's simply Taco and crew trying to give us a chance to get it right(definition of right subject to change at any moment upon the whims of our dread overlords).
Oh and the auto subnet banning stuff is still broken(well, broken in the sense that it doesn't work too well). I liken it to using a shotgun to try to kill a butterfly. Yea it works, but there's always all of that collateral damage.
Something that amuses me:
The NASCAR viagra car. Driven and operated by men dressed in identical fashion and cheered on by men dressed in nigh-identical fashion while it circles a track via left turns for 2 hours. That's definately a metaphor for something.
Heh - Good Analogy! (Score:2)

Like using a shotgun to kill a butterfly in a crowded room.....
Yes, I'm still bitter about getting some steel shot in my ass from Malda's double barrel...
