If I’m not able to find Lost to watch over the Internet, I guess I can get a prescription for Losticil:

California cheese comes from happy cows, right?
On January - 31 - 2008
Wrong! Dairy cows are pumped full of hormones and milked excessively and continuously until they can’t produce any more. Then they’re put out to pasture, right? Nope, they’re sent off to slaughterhouses, which is what happens to most cows of course, but by that time their bones are so weak from calcium depletion that a lot of them can’t even stand up once they arrive. The ones who can’t stand up are called “downers,” and are not allowed to enter the food chain. Enter the slaughterhouse workers whose job it is to get them standing so that they can pass inspection. The mama cows are kicked, jabbed in the eyes, shocked repeatedly, dragged with chains, sprayed in face with high-pressure hoses, and rammed with forklifts.
The Humane Society of the United States just released a video of the cows being abused that was taken by an undercover worker last year. People wonder why it wasn’t released sooner, but here’s what I think. A lot of people like to believe that meat comes from the supermarket. They don’t want to know what goes on behind the scenes. This kind of mistreatment of animals goes on all the time, and there are countless videos documenting it. Like I said, people just don’t want to know about it. The only reason it’s in the news now, in my opinion, is that it may possibly affect our school children.

“I see,” said the blind man…
On January - 28 - 2008
Every time I say, “I see,” I have to resist the urge to follow it with, “said the blind man.” I can’t remember where I heard that so many years ago, but I think it’s from this nonsense verse (Thanks, Internet!):
‘I see’ said the blind man
to his deaf wife
over a disconnected telephone
in 1866
Another nonsense verse I can never remember all the words to, so I looked it up today (Again, thanks Internet!):
One fine day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back-to-back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
And rushed to save the two dead boys.
A paralyzed donkey walking by,
Kicked the copper in the eye,
Sent him through a rubber wall,
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all.
(If you don’t believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man — he saw it too!)

Almost here…
On January - 27 - 2008
Season 4 of Lost starts this Thursday. Too bad we don’t have cable anymore… never got it hooked up after the move and decided it was nice not to have the damned thing on all the time. Besides we have over 700 DVDs, so there’s always something to watch! I need to figure out how to hook up some rabbit ears (do they even make those anymore?) to the old TV set. For now, enjoy some silliness!

I wish I knew why there’s a rusty drum of sulfuric acid* in my backyard. :-\
*Made me think of this, of course:
Billy was a chemist
Billy is no more
For what he thought was H20
Was H2SO4
