A few years back, Holly and I attended an event sponsored by Intel, in Atlanta. We were guests of my boss at the time, Bliz, and the event was for OEM chip users. The night was dinner and drinks and entertainment, provided by none other than Richard Jeni, who was already a well known performer. [...]

Last night I was talking to Andy on iChat, and was telling him about making dinner earlier, adn enjoying cooking…. the timing, the pressure, the presentation at the end, the satisfied sounds of people enjoying it. it’s like sex, but messier.I hate to toot my own own horn, but that’s pretty freaking funny.

Police use stun guns on greased, naked studentWESTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) — A high school lunch period was disrupted Monday by a greased, naked student who ran around screaming and flailing his arms until police twice used a stun gun on him, authorities said.Taylor Killian, 18, had rubbed his body with grapeseed oil to keep from being caught, and got up after the first time he was shocked to continue running toward a group of frightened students huddled in a corner at Westerville North High School, Lt. Jeff Gaylor said.”That prank went a little farther than he intended, I guess,” Gaylor said.Officer Doug Staysniak was monitoring the lunch period when Killian, with long hair and a full beard, ran in the room toward students, who screamed and ran away. The officer is normally assigned to a middle school and did not recognize Killian as a student, Gaylor said.Police said that an administrator ordered Killian to stop, but that the student made a sexual gesture and kept running.Killian is in jail and charged with inducing panic, public indecency, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct…. There was no indication of substance abuse or a medical problem.Back in the old days (ya know, the late 80′s), the kid would be given detention, maybe suspended.
