More fainting goat goodness
I don’t know whether to thank my friend Houston for this link or contemplate diabolical payback.
If you’ve never visited Your the man now, dog! before it’s worth a look around.
It’s time to play the music, It’s time to light the lights
Spotted these over at Moodgarden
They’re Silicone Dog & Frog cooking mitts.
These would make a great gift for Cynthia as they combine her love of puppets with her love of cooking.
All creatures great and small
As I was riding in the elevator today a group of co-workers were discussing Fainting Goats.
I had never heard of them before so when I got back to my desk I did some research.
Yup, they exist. They are also referred to as Myotonic, Tennessee Fainting, Nervous, Stiff Legged and Scare goats. apparently they have a genetic condition called myotonia congenita, a condition in which the muscle cells experience prolonged contraction when the goat is startled.
The actual degree of stiffness may vary widely from goat to goat and is based on a number of factors, including age, species purity, and degree of fright.
There is even an International Fainting Goat Association.

We all know at least one Eleanor Abernathy
I spotted this in Sig’s Lagoon last night.
Unfortunately the only people I know to give this to would probably be offended.
She sells sanctuary
What a glorious weekend, weather-wise (and otherwise as well).
Cynthia and I took the opportunity to work in the yard today.
We bought a water feature. Yea, too much Ground Force on BBC America.
We built a small area we hope will be attractive to birds. If nothing else, it sure makes that corner of the backyard really pleasant.
A tale of two bartenders
Conn’s leaving Catbirds.
And by leaving I mean he’s been fired.
I had to stop by on the way home for his last day on the job
So he could pour me one last drink
Even if it was just a coke
We love Conn.
Crazy Mike tends the back bar at the Continental Club
Crazy Mike cannot be fired
He’d have to be exterminated using some type of tent involved fumigation
We love Crazy Mike
Geek gathering – April 7 2006
We are trying yet another new location for the monthly geek gathering. This month it is Tropioca. It’s a bubble-tea cafe with free wi-fi. It’s pretty nice here.
It’s my first experience with bubble tea. Bubble tea is a tea beverage with tapioca balls mixed in. As you might imagine, there are many references to the “balls”…
