Heh...


Looking forward to it... and the one following that.

So am I

There's also a bit of a precedent for Crufts for Rhinos:

If anyone can do this, Texans can.

Is it a cook book?

My books? No, this is my writing over here: http://nopandas.com

I'm sure many of you are frustrated with election results.


It could be worse. Look at how Republicans (and Democrats too when they had the opportunity) gerrymandered the districts in Texas. Basically they limit the opposition to a handfull of heavily concentrated but small democratic districts and the rest reach tendrils in to urban areas to dilute their vote with large rural and suburban areas. I'm in Randy Webber's (R) 14th district (slide 23). Many other NASA workers live in this district represented by an anti-science climate change denier.
But take a look at Ted Poe's (R) 2nd district (slide 35). How in many hells could anyone consider that a representative district!?

Police have launched an investigation after a body was found in a suitcase recovered from a west London canal.

The death of the unknown person was being treated as "suspicious", detectives said.

Suspicious? No , Sherlock!

"Look Guv
The bloke climbed into the case, zipped it shut and did up the padlock, then hopped into the canal.
Clearest case of suitcasecide I've ever seen"

"Suitcasecide"

There was a local fellow with known gambling debts. His body was found locked in the trunk of his car with a shotgun. The death was ruled a suicide.

Wasn't there an MI5 guy who was found in a suitcase and the immediate reaction from police was suicide?

Wasn't 'Man in a Suitcase' a tv spy drama?

I seem to recall the MI5 case was thought to be a sex game gone wrong...

Does that mean that next time I fill out an anti-discrimination survey, I'll be asked:
'Are you, or have you ever been, a practicing holdallsexual?'
