Not much to report this morning... Vague dream memories. Sensations of filtered rosy light, ease and comfort. I didn't want to get out of bed, but one does what one must.



I want some of those Incredibles toys from McDonalds... but they're made in China, and it's McDonalds. Bah.



Maybe I'll get to go to the Miami Book Fair international next year... last year, surgery, this year, on call. I may have to be very careful for next go 'round! Thank goodness for CSPAN2/bookTV.



Note to Mr. 5... See to it that Mr. 11 doesn't make it to that fence. Don't use your sidearm unless you have to. Civilian casualties will not be tolerated.

N.H. couple charged with trying to sacrifice children

A New Hampshire woman and her boyfriend were in jail yesterday on charges they forced their way into a Rochester church in a bizarre attempt to sacrifice her three children on the altar.

``Eighteen years I've been doing this,'' police Lt. Paul Callaghan said yesterday, ``and I've never come across anything like it.''

Police received a 911 call shortly before 3 p.m. Wednesday from the staff at St. Mary's Church on Lowell Street, where Nicole Mancini, 29, of Farmington and John Thurber, 35, of Rochester took the three boys, Callaghan said.

Mancini and the two youngest, ages 2 and 7, were in their pajamas, he said, and she was ``kind of delusional. . . . The church staff told us she wanted to sacrifice the middle child by 3 o'clock.''

Detectives later found out the couple ultimately planned to sacrifice all three children, and already had gone to a Farmington church with that intent but had been unable to get in, Callaghan said.

No weapon was found, he said, and police are investigating the motive.

The three children were turned over to the Department of Children, Youth and Families, and remained in state custody yesterday. The couple were arrested without incident, and each was charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Thurber, the 2-year-old's father, also was charged with marijuana possession.

Man now if I get one of those toys I'm going to think about how many sweatshop children died so I could have it.

If you have to look on the bright side, at least they weren't making dildos, or jester-hats.

How long before someone comes up with a "Chinese Sweatshop Worker" action figure? And How will they feel about making those?

Either they'll finally appreciate working on something they can relate to or they'll start demanding irony bonuses and the insurrection will be quickly squashed by their McDonaldland overlords.

MM.. As long as it's a yummy crock of corn chowder, rather than a crock of what happens after corn chowder.

I'm thinking the latter is most likely- especially considering the fact that they have what appears to be a mutant lobster instead of a proper scorpion symbolizing Scorpio.

You helped me find the music from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," now I need help with another bunny song.

My daughter is enthralled with "Brandy and Mr. Whiskers" (I like it too!) and we're looking for an mp3 or wav of the theme and the words themselves.

Think you're up to it?

The theme song for Brandy & Mr. Whiskers is performed by Lou Bega who is most known for singing "Mambo No. 5".

Wow!
Ha Ha Ha!
Who's a little like water and oil?
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
What's in the kettle and ready to boil?
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
One silly rabbit and one pampered pooch,
Fell from a plane with no parachutes.
Got stuck in a jungle putting down roots.
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
Side by Side,
Different as day or night,
But it's quite alright,
Sharing a life in the trees!
Nose on Nose,
They can be friends or foes,
Whether they're whining or minding their manners,
They're drivin' each other banannas!
Ha Ha Ha!
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
Ahhh!
What will it take for your friendship to thrive?
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
Can you avoid being eaten alive?
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
You snooty little cutie with your nose in the air,
You overly dramatic aromatic hare!
They'll barely survive the fate that they share,
A dysfunctional brother and sister.
Ay-Yi-Yi-Yiy
Brandy & Mr. Whiskers!
Ha Ha Ha!

I'll seek the mp3.

I am impressed! I couldn't even find the words...my Internet searching nose has become rusty.

My daughter will be delighted, thank you!

Thanks!

google is mighty... (it also helps if you know some of the words... I think it's a cute show, too.)

I suspect the mp3 will be more available as time goes by... I haven't seen it on any fansites yet, but my spider is feeling out the region.
