Our sunflowers are at about 7 feet tall... but the heat and lack of water is giving them the wilties. Hopefully last night's rain woke 'em up a bit.

Playing with the myriad of games with pyramids in the Icehouse (handy wiki link) set make me feel a little bit like Enik from land of the lost. I wouldn't mind making a light table board to look like the matrix table he used on the show. Played BHK 4 games of Treehouse last night, and I won 3 of the four.

Sorry, Marshall, Will, Holly, Enik... that's my set.

Hm. Now I want a big bowl of honeycomb cereal, and to watch bad saturday morning 70's tv.

Regarding Zendo - found a random Koan generator - might do the trick.

Some sample output -

A koan has the Buddha nature if it contains no more than 3 flat, small pieces.

A koan has the Buddha nature if it contains exactly 2 green pieces.

A koan has the Buddha nature if it consists entirely of upright pieces.

A koan has the Buddha nature if the number of its ungrounded, flat pieces is even.

A koan has the Buddha nature if the pip-count of its upright pieces is not equal to the number of its large pieces.

A koan has the Buddha nature if it contains at least 2 weird, small pieces.

A koan has the Buddha nature if the number of its flat, purple pieces is odd.

A koan has the Buddha nature if the number of its large pieces is even.

A koan has the Buddha nature if it contains at least 3 upright pieces pointing at a weird, red piece pointing at a medium piece.

Hello Kitty
Police must wear this shameful, shameful mark

BANGKOK, Thailand - Thai police officers who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring "Hello Kitty," the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday.


Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late — among other misdemeanors — will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won't wear the armband in public.

The striking armband features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts.


"Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor," said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok.


"(Hello) Kitty is a cute icon for young girls. It's not something macho police officers want covering their biceps," Pongpat said.


He said police caught breaking the law will be subject the same fines and penalties as any other members of the public.


"We want to make sure that we do not condone small offenses," Pongpat said, adding that the CSD believed that getting tough on petty misdemeanors would lead to fewer cases of more serious offenses including abuse of power and mistreatment of the public by police officers.

Sunflowers have always looked a little sinister to me, flowers shouldn't be that big. I half expect them to blast happy pollen in my face, and next thing ya know Shatner will have to call me a computerized half breed to snap me out of it.

If someone gave me pickles for Christmas, I think I might be a little miffed actually. :-p

I'd probably still be a little miffed (I want toys and games for Christnas!!!!), I still like sweetcorn so not as bad. :-)

But see you've never played pickles games or you wouldn't be saying that!

We even have a Christmas based pickle game---we hide a pickle on the tree and the smartest famiy member is the one who can find it!!!

HOURS OF FUN!

Kinda a recent tradition for us. Someone gaves us a glass pickle ornament about 5 years ago and we hid it. When we told my pre-teen brother that he had to find it to be declared the smartest he declared "I don't need a pickle in a tree to tell me I'm smart."

We thought it was adorable and cute.

Unfortunately we lost the ornament that year so we had to improvise with a mini-gherkin the next few years becuase we couldn't find another glass pickle.

We put out an APB with all the family to find another pickle that resulted in about 6 pickle ornaments.

Do you guys butter each other's noses on your birthdays too? That we've been doing since I was a tiny kid!

Nope, and as my 30th is in a few days, I think I'll keep that one quiet until afterwards.

Thank you for the birthday wish! Your pickles look delicious. We canned peaches last year and still have some left over. I wonder if you'll really eat all of them over the winter. =)
