Awesome short piece by R.U. Sirius on neutrality. Well worth reading by those of us whose certainties--left, right, and center--are shaken by the Current Situation. Not as stoner-punny as his usual stuff, and ends with a great Lao-Tzu quote.

Evil evil clipart cartoons. Do read them all. Better and better.

The Stranger gets something right. Not perfect, just right. Has anyone else been exasperated by the boring, reactionary left lately? Anyone else feel that nobody's speaking for them?

What robot are you? I almost didn't add this link, because I am ashamed of my inner robot. It turns out I'm not a highly evolved, hu-man eating deathbot; no, I am merely C3P0. D'oh.

Beware the slug-killing robot! Will it rise up against its hu-man masters? "Ha ha, lowly hu-man! I can generate electricity from your body with GREAT EFFICIENCY!"

OCD Watch: I've checked for USPS mail three times today. I just realized that it's Columbus Day (isn't it?), but now I'm wondering if I'll keep checking. Why not send me something and keep the cycle of random positive reinforcement spinning:

Rob Lightner
322 10th Ave E Apt C1
Seattle WA 98102

Thanks.

Another stupid writing game sample.

CHLOROPHOBIA - TOMORROW'S HEADLINES TODAY

Episodic delerium reported citywide. Simple pillow fights turn deadly as children escalate to bestial violence. Driving now "extreme sport" - hallucination overtakes alcohol as number one highway killer. One man alone against his demons. Seattle mourns elders drowned in imaginary fire.

From the mayor's address: "I want to assure the international business community that our seismic activity is entirely contained. End-stage lovers feeding on my...no. Er, Seattle is a city of change, and our recent public health eruption is just another - what the fuck? Get down, get down! The bunnies - they've -" [Transcription ends.] Thirteen people were wounded and two killed; police claimed their weapons were jammed.

Am I the only mens sana left in this town? In the world? No net connection, all static even on cable. I tried five apartments in two neighborhoods, all wide open - not that there's any looting to worry about. In one I found an elementary-school-age child in her bed cleaning mini-blinds with a toothbrush. She wouldn't talk to me or even look up, and the room stank of urine. Of course all the swirling crazies can tell me is strictly from Pentecost. I briefly thought maybe I was the crazy one, but that's too obvious, and I probably deserve better writing than that. I'm heading north tomorrow.

Dance madness strikes Vancouver.

More anthrax, please.

I went to Ikea with Jen and Therese last night for a frenzy of consumer confidence. They implored me to eat dinner with them there; hungry as I was I could not resist. My stomach is still a bit distressed. There's not enough ice cream sandwiches in the world to absorb the brown sauce still filling my guts.

Got some cool stuff, though.
