SobaNatto

Today's lunch: Buckwheat soba with natto. It doesn't get any better than this. Unless, of course, you add the Dr. Pepper and homemade brownies for dessert.

Gotta be the plum pudding at Christmastime. Either with the white sauce, or served plain and flaming...

Captain Richard Phillips freed

... and that's the way it should be done. Navy snipers - God bless them - took out three pirates when it looked like Captain Phillips was in imminent danger - and the fourth pirate surrendered.

The news report on KSL quoted Jamac Habeb, a 30-year-old self-proclaimed pirate in one of Somalia's piracy hubs, Eyl, that, "our friends should have done more to kill the captain before they were killed. This will be a good lesson for us. From now on, if we capture foreign ships and their respective countries try to attack us, we will kill (the hostages)."

Well, Jamac, you're a moron. Three of your buddies are dead, and roasting in Hell over a slow spit. And you, and the other pieces of maggoty camel ejecta from your fly-ridden group of human detritus will get the message in the same way - a 50bmg slug through your twisted brains. Come get some!

Have a nice day.

Love,
The United States of America.

Doc Rat: Medical Jargon

Today's Doc Rat was funny - but I had to go to an Oz Jargon site to get the meaning of "L.A.D. was cactus".

Listening to medicos and nurses chatter can be like trying to decipher Schwyzerdütsch as spoken by a Texan...
