Man! Nathan lives in buttass nowhere
How do you stand getting from 7 points to work every day, anyway? Do you sleep under a bridge?
I bet Blizzard never saw this coming! Deckard and Griswold are probably rolling over in their graves, unless they're still in some level of hell...

Mummified Man Goes Unnoticed for Two Years
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) -- The citizens of Amsterdam may now take counsel of talking toilets that expound on the perils of smoking or the futility of war and berate them on hygiene and cleanliness.What would you like to hear a toilet say? And better yet, what might a toilet say to Nathan after his "rapture" experience on John's toilet?
The first such toilets, fitted with sensors to detect exactly what visitors do and to pass comment if appropriate, were installed in a central Amsterdam cafe Thursday. Creator Leonard van Munster, who sees the project as an artistic venture, will build more if the demand arises.
"You might consider sitting down next time," the toilet told a male Reuters reporter politely in a female robot voice. The next user was told that "The last visitor did not take heed of basic rules of hygiene."
Depending on circumstances, the toilet might remind you to wash your hands or ask you to lift the seat.
"It could suddenly start coughing and warn you about the dangers of cigarettes, or name all the cool movie stars who smoke. It just depends what mood it's in," van Munster said referring to people who sneak off to secretly have a puff.
Well, East Branch used to have a building next door. It was Han's auto and transmission shop. A couple of weeks ago, they started knocking down the building and the shed behind it. Now it wasn't a huge plce, so it didn't take that long. One bulldozer took care of it in two days. After that they were cleaning up the trash for a few days. Since then, every day, they've been scraping and pushing around dirt in the same little lot with no apparent purpose. Now that was strange and harmless enough, until they broke open what smells like a sewer line. I'm guessing because I have not the fortitude to walk over to that watery mess and verify it.
Down here in Seven Points, businesses are a lot less formal than they are up in the city, but I have to say, there's one that just exemplifies what I'm talking about. Or rather, it's two establishments together, out toward Cap City. These two business exist in the same building, which really is just a long shack or hut. On one side you have Sam's tire shop and on the other you have Happy Jack's bar. I don't know if the owners are related in some way or just thought that a joint bar/tire shop was a good idea. But either way, if you're a drinking man it sure beats NTB, where the only drinks you can get are from the vending machine!
Crematory Operators Settle Suit for $80M

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- A North Carolina dentist accused of putting semen into the mouths of six female patients closed his office after a panel of the N.C. Board of Dental Examiners revoked his license.
I love his explanation:
"Testifying on his own behalf, Hall denied injecting semen into patients' mouths. He said he was collecting his semen in the syringes because he was tracking the side effects of Propecia, a hair-growth drug. Potential side effects include low sperm count and diminished semen. Hall said he collected his semen after-hours in an office bathroom because he didn't want to do so at home. He said he planned to take the vials to his doctor."

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- Toe-licking is not a crime in the Netherlands -- but it may soon be.
You might think that the library would be a clean and quiet place to work, but you would be wrong. Today is a day like any other here. It is no better or worse. While cruising through life's journey this afternoon, I have encountered mold and a crazy lady shouting while carrying what might have been all her worldly possessions on wheels behind her. I didn't catch all of this one sided conversation but I did hear her shout angrily about a girl asking her for a dollar but she didn't have a dollar and the girl should have just asked her mother for it. But...there was no girl. There was however a very concerned citizen who was kind enough to suggest someone do something about her. Unfortunately, she exited the building just as it was getting interesting.
Alright, I have determined the easiest way to post images within the blogs. That is, for pictures that are already online, (for images on your computer you would have to use Hello or Flicker). Here is how you do it. To insert an image in your blog, (anywhere in the blog, you don't have to put it at the top) simply click the "Edit HTML" tab while you're typing your message and type this code tag:
This email came to us yesterday at East Branch:
From Maria Redburn
Subject: Shirley Hinton banned from Phone use
Ms. Hinton is an older woman with white hair. She has been using our phone to call social security. Yesterday she had a 40 minute phone call and came back for another 20 minutes.
We've all been waiting patiently for you to post on the blog...come on!
Since the two things that dominate my thoughts the most are sex and politics, I began to wonder if anyone had ever written any slash-fiction between political figures. Sure, enough I did manage to find one guy. Unfortunately (or not for you guys), it's all gay. Here's Blair/Brown and Bush/Chirac. There's more listed here, but no links, so you'll have to make do with those.
If you read my comment on the last post, and wondered, "what in this sick world could Brainerd Diarrhea be?" then I have your answer.
