Starting tomorrow I’ll be in NYC for a few days to defend Felis catus, and shortly thereafter to Bulgaria for ten days to defend evolution. During that time, I won’t have much time for the Internet, so I’ll ask readers to hold off on sending me links until Oct. 27 or so. Such messages may get lost in an avalanche of email. If you find something especially juicy, send it along, but try to do so sparingly until my return.
What this means is that posting will almost certainly be much lighter than usual (perhaps Greg or Matthew can pick up some slack); I may even have an open thread or two if readers want to argue among themselves. Bear with me until my return and things will return to normal, especially now that the Albatross is, at least for the time being, off my neck.
10 days in Bulgaria sounds fun. I bet there will be tasty food & you’ll get to see Bulgaria’s way of using the Cyrillic alphabet.
Okay that last point was only something I would like.
Especially if it were printed on TP.
Yes, but Diana wouldn’t be able to read the TP because she’d have turned it backwards so it was facing the wall….

Oh, right.
I can never understand how such an intelligent person can be so benighted on this one tissue. Er, issue.
Well, she does come from a long line of people whose men wear skirts and no underwear — and in one of the coldest countries in the (allegedly) civilized world, to boot…they do seem, in general, to have difficulty understanding the nature of that which comes in contact with one’s nether-bits….

That would explain the Scottish brrrrr.
Dangerously close to “True Scotsman” territory.
Nothing is worn under my kilt – it’s all in perfect working order.
You just try to unroll TP while wearing big mitts if it’s in the under orientation!
What!? It’s not enough for you to hang the toilet paper improperly, you have to stash it away inside big mitts!? I beseech you, in the bowels of Christ, come to your senses!

Perhaps in Bulgaria, they know how to hang their TP and write on it accordingly (though I have no idea why someone would want words on toilet paper – inspirational sayings – it could get weird given the context).
toilet paper and Bulgaria — why does this make me think of the “Bulgaria-entry” in the 2009 Entropa art hoax?
Yesterday I sent you a link of Deepity’s Career advice but it bounced. My e-mail account must be psychic
Hey, wait a minute. I thought atheists were grim and humorless.
Ah, you probably just haven’t been reading enough Camus lately…
Have a good time in NYC and Bulgaria. Do refrain from taking dogs behind the woodshed too badly please.
They have a rabies problem there 🙁
Now, now, I know New Yorkers can be a bit aggressive, but I wouldn’t go that far…
😉
(That’s where the d*gs might need some mercy.)
Have a happy trip there, at the edge of the Western World. You will find a new challenge — Orthodoxy. Best wishes from neighbor Romania.
A big congrats on conquering the Albatross! And safe and happy travels!
Safe trip and report on noms!
Best wishes to Prof. Ceiling Cat. Here’s hoping for great food (can’t bring myself to call it “noms”), and a non-existent creationist opposition to stuff like facts, science, and rationality.
