I’ll be going to talks and having interviews most of the day at TAM, so don’t expect much beyond persiflage. Alert reader Linda Grilli sent me today’s Non Sequitur strip, which is quite funny. I don’t know how Wiley Miller gets away with this stuff: the strip appears in over 700 newspapers.
Oh, and don’t forget: it’s Bastille Day!
So pigs did fly! And it’s Mr. Almighty keeping the man down!
Makes so much sense….

Of course, I had to look up persiflage. It sounds like it should mean something like personal camouflage. 🙂
Ahhh you think it’s a portmanteau but it’s a word in itself! It’s like when you think there is an alpha privative but it’s just a word that starts with an “a”. Sneeky, sneeky language!
It *is* Bastille Day! Rush Remembers 🙂 http://youtu.be/V7yxA9vt2-c
Thanks for that. I wish my parents had been cool enough to take me that show. Would have made me the coolest 4th grader ever.
Beat me to it. Very, very cool. The next year (’77) was the year my bros & I discovered Rush. 2-3 years later, we were attempting to play the stuff. Not too many folks doing Rush covers back then. 😉
I’ve had that song in my head all day 🙂

That’s Mrs. Almighty.
The Onion can of course publish detailed articles about Intelligent Falling. Checkmate, atheist physicists!
So grabbity isn’t static electricity from when Ceiling Cat rubbed the Earth?
Now I’m theologically confused.
Akshually, grabbity is what Baihu is always doing to my shoulders….

Grabbity is how our Siamese got her name. K’ehleyr, Kilgon Warrior Kitteh.
And that’s what happens when K’ehleyr, Klingon Warrior Kitteh helps me type.
You need some spiritual guidance from The Mighty Whiskers in the sky.
Five Hail Meows and 5 bucks in the donation jar of kitty treats.
And don’t forget the three belly rubs! Mustn’t forget the belly rubs.

Aye, my bad. I pray the Great Ceiling Cat will forgive my error.
