I was just checking into some old business and discovered that today marks the 6th anniversary of my first freelance invoice. Time for a beer!

Spam so nice I had to reprint it sans links:
How about your good self?
All say, How hard it is that we have to die -- a strange complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
Blight, searching for a place to order medication?
Good sense is the master of human life.
I couldn't claim that I have never felt the urge to explore evil, but when you descend into hell you have to be very careful.
Civilization must be destroyed. The hairy saints of the North have earned this crumb by their complaints.

People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.
Your easy-to-use solution is here
You are really anonymous!
Ask yourself whether you are happy, and you cease to be so. Her great merit is finding out mine -- there is nothing so amiable as discernment.

See, when PETA
compares slaughtering animals to the Holocaust or other mass murders of humans, the message they send isn't so much "all life is sacred" as "you meat eaters are loathsome monsters skulking somewhere beneath contempt." And they wonder why they only convince teenagers.
I'm all for humane treatment of animals, but they need to come up with a marketing strategy that doesn't alienate pretty much all of their audience. Some have argued that ads like these get people talking about the issues, but I've only ever heard people talk about PETA and how idiotic they are after seeing this stuff. My best guess is that they're making these headline-grabbing ads to make donors happy, but who can say?

Sure, you've heard of this
already, but come on. Jewelry in your eyeball! I am hoping that someday soon we will install skull windows to permit intracranial voyeurism. I would also like to have an ant farm under my skin, please, Dr. Cosmetic Scientist.

This
is 100% awesome. Subscribers to Reason magazine get a special issue this month with a satellite image of their house on the cover. Sometimes I just love people. [NYT reg required; sometimes I hate people.]

"Police said the girl was charged with possession and dissemination of child pornography."
For pictures of herself. Stop exploiting yourself! Stop exploiting yourself!

Fighting irony with irony.
Yes, we're teaching Iraq all about democracy and American values. Today we shut down a newspaper. (Link requires NYT reg, sorry)
