As an accident cleanup operator. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the kids refer to this as ‘FAIL’.

I concur, I think…!

i’m getting concerned Shooby: 1 start in sunny FL sunny and in the 50s: Trying to decide what to work on today The Domenic Republic
people at the NYTimes Travel Show are rolling real cigars
Salsa and soup cream with chips watching the first episode of the new star trek show How does a cold glass me diet coke sound
Preferring working on my own powerbook to working on the PC they provided me with

An excellent song from a band I like to listen to, but can hardly bear to watch (Sorry Adam, you’re a freak).

The gentle man caller in the blue suede shoes
He don’t know what to do
he just wants to look good for you
So he rushes in to tell you what he did today
but he can’t think of what to say
I think you’ll listen anyway.
He wants to have a good time
just like everybody else
He doesn’t want to fall apart
You watch him as he stutters over what to say
It’s just a little game you play
it’s no easier for you some days
You wish you could tell him it’ll be ok
but you feel a little shy these days
cause everybody goes away
Oh…
You just wanna have a good time
Just like everybody else
You don’t want to fall apart this time
I can’t look into your eyes and see the mess we’re in
darling if it’s shit came out
Then I suppose that it’s shit went in
Even though I couldn’t say I’ve been the places that you’ve been
You know you made my heart real strong
even if you made my head real thin
I wanna have a good time
just like everybody
I don’t wanna fall apart
oh..
I wanna have a good time
just like everybody
And I don’t wanna fall apart this time
so would you please invite me in
ohhhhhhh….

oh,
I really really love the red haired girls
I’m just another boy from texas
C’mon and take a spin

Man I sure do love them red haired girls
Im just like all the boys from texas
come on take a spin
hey little girl I got a brand new set of wings

Some great insight by the guy that should be in charge of the TSA, Bruce Schneier.

“The Underwear Bomber is precisely the sort of story we humans tend to overreact to. Our brains aren’t very good at probability and risk analysis, especially when it comes to rare events. Our brains are much better at processing the simple risks we’ve had to deal with throughout most of our species’ existence, and much poorer at evaluating the complex risks modern society forces us to face. We exaggerate spectacular rare events, and downplay familiar and common ones.

We can see the effects of this all the time. We fear being murdered, kidnapped, raped and assaulted by strangers, when it’s far more likely that the perpetrator of such offenses is a relative or a friend. We fear school shootings, even though a school is almost always the safest place a child can be. We worry about shark attacks instead of fatal dog or pig attacks — both far more common. In the U.S., over 38,000 people die each year in car crashes; that’s as many deaths as 9/11 each and every month, year after year.

Overreacting to the rare and spectacular is natural. We tend to base risk analysis on personal story rather than on data. If a friend gets mugged in a foreign country, that story is more likely to affect how safe you feel in that country than abstract crime statistics.

I tell people that if it’s in the news, don’t worry about it. The very definition of “news” is “something that hardly ever happens.” It’s when something isn’t in the news, when it’s so common that it’s no longer news — car crashes, domestic violence — that you should start worrying.”
