I don't like pork rinds or NASCAR, don't much care for Benny Hill, but I do like Sir Alec Guinness! Does that mean I'm not an American?

"So, I've decided to give in to all the divine hints, blow off blogging for the day, finish my other work, and then go swimming or take my kidlets to a movie."

Very selfish... what are WE supposed to do?

Eat cake. I'm a *Dark Lord* fer cryin' out loud! [Stamps foot impatiently.] Gee whiz! Take a couple of hours off and.... [muttering becomes inaudible as I head for the Inner Recesses of the Dark Tower to look for my bathing suit. Loud crashing sounds echo from within... eventually I emerge, still muttering and carrying a towel] ...take a couple of hours off from brooding and spinning webs of fear, treachery, and deceit and everybody has a cow! Why do *I* always have to be the Mind for all the mindless minions? What about me? What about *my* needs? Dominating the weak-minded and easily-manipulated is hard work! Why don't people appreciate that?

Oh! You're still here? Um,

YES! I SHALL ASSUME MY WELL-EARNED REPOSE THIS WEEKEND, THE BETTER TO RIPEN MY PLANS FOR TOTAL .NET DOMINATION! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHA!

"Verizon Fire Killed My Blogging for Today."

You can almost sing that to the tune of "Video Killed the Radio Star."

Happy Fourth, Mark, from a Canadian neighbour, and enjoy your weekend. Hope your weather stays gorgeous -- here (near Montreal) we're having nonstop rain. It even rained on Canada Day. Sheesh ... Enjoy, and stay safe.

"And you kids, don't put no firecrackers up your noses!"

Don't you know it's illegal for you to give medical advice without a license?

"So: Happy Fourth, all y'all! And to all my English friends, no hard feelings, okay?"

The Fourth of July is when the English celebrate Thanksgiving.

Reminds me of "Weasels Ripped My Flesh."

It's only illegal if you charge for it.

Good one!

I spent it with kidlets, too!

On the other hand, my parents in Johannesburg had temperatures almost over 10°C (that's 50°F, for you non-metric lot), which makes one feel a lot better about the Pom weather!

"When a Dark Lord screams "Am I surrounded entirely by incompetents?" or "Do I have to do everything myself?" -- well, the answers are "Yes" and "Yes." Anything else means that he isn't a Dark Lord; he's just an organization man.

Looks like the fire was at Fisher Plaza.
