Paris, in honor of keeping your lap from overheating.

Not a bad shot at FotW, but you used punctuation correctly and spelled everything right. Rookie mistake.

And I think all us freetards will hear that word for a while, just because it spurs the flamers into action. And that's a good thing.

Network down? Must be New Year's Eve gunfire

Poor Raccoon

I had a power outage in my neighborhood and the repair work was done next to my house. Naturally I had to walk out and watch.

Right below the transformer was a raccoon that I assumed had to gone to his great reward. Not so, about an hour after the power outage, he got up and stumbled away. His body language was like that of Paris waking up with a *very* bad hangover.

Growing up around raccoons, I've seen specimens that could easily go over 100 pounds (45 kilos). The neighborhood lore was to treat raccoons as if they were the monster in a "dead teenager" movie: cross the street to avoid them and don't assume they're dead just because they took a shot that would kill you.
