I bodged together an accelerator for IE8 that pulls up a patent record for a given US patent number.

I resolve to call her up
A thousand times a day
I only made four hundred calls
They took my phone away

More lyrics

Posted on 2009.10.03 at 01:27
Okay, so this is about forty years late. To Taxman by the Beatles:

Just the facts, ma'am.
Just the facts, ma'am.
I don't care about your cat;
Facts, ma'am!
The law is not concerned with that.
I need the facts, ma'am.
Just the facts, ma'am.

Again with the sandwiches

Posted on 2009.09.09 at 19:31
In fact, when I know what is meant by Marmaduke and Rabelais[e],*
When I can eat a twelve-inch turkey sandwich without mayonnaise...

*mispronouced like in The Music Man

Sandwiches

Posted on 2009.09.05 at 11:22
I heard Graceland at a sandwich shop yesterday.
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland
and I thought,
Poorboys and Heroes and Submarines

So does anyone know why Poorboys and Pilgrims is capitalized in the lyrics?

A goofup older than me

Last night saw footage of the Beatles playing at the Royal Variety show in 1963. Paul sang 'Til There Was You and screwed up the lyrics:
And there was music
And there were wonderful roses
They send me
...
Better way to screw up the lyrics:
And there was music
And there were wonderful noses
They smell me
In sweet, fragrant meadows of doggy doo

Lemming cannery

Apropos of Synchronicity II, Googling "lemming cannery" returned no results. I should be on top.

Age and self-perception

Posted on 2009.07.18 at 17:19
A while ago I wondered how it is that people are transformed from dynamic adults into senior citizens who actually buy things like the Jitterbug phone. I am discovering the answers bit by bit. Surely one thing to make one feel old is the number of pills that one takes every morning.
pills
That's (clockwise from upper left) 2x(630 mg calcium citrate with 400 IU vitamin D3), 1000 IU vitamin D3, multivitamin including 400 IU vitamin D3 and 162 mg calcium for a total of 2200 IU vitamin D3 and 1422 mg calcium, 80 mg aspirin, 40 mg fluoxetine, 150 mg bupropion, 3 g fish oil.

Persistent Vegetative State

Posted on 2009.06.28 at 22:00
That's where I got my associate's degree. No, really, I had to cut down a black cherry tree to make way for the shed. I didn't get the permit until December, so there have been logs lying in the yard through the winter. Only now after the slab is in place and the site landscaped am I getting around to cutting up the bigger logs. And I found that the tree isn't dead. I think I'll try to repropagate it. It seems there are advantages to being a vegetable.


Photo of proof of activity.

All those logs and sticks were cut using human power only. You can tell by the color which ones were cut this weekend.

More Wood

Posted on 2009.06.16 at 11:01
This for for anybody who knows Dillon Bustin's More Wood. You can listen to some of it here.

When you fall on your rear
And you begin to fear
Your end is near
It really isn't good
To go to a surgeon
Or on doctors to be splurgin'
When you could be out cuttin' more wood.

Here's a rare shot of the whole herd (with heads visible) in one frame. I cut the date sign some time ago and only now put it up. It's official, my barn survived George Bush.
Party like it's 1999

Do I really drive one of these?

I effing hate this spot, and not just because it reminds me of Anne Geddes. You think you're out enjoying nature, but it's really fake, it's a bunch of humans in stupid costumes.

CANBERRA (Reuters) – A student who fell with a noose around his neck during a mock class hanging that was arranged by teachers has enraged Australian authorities.
The high school student fell from a table while fellow students, under the supervision of a teacher, were photographing a staged hanging as part of an English class project.
"It beggars belief that such an incident could take place," Queensland state Education Minister Geoff Wilson told local radio on Wednesday.

Well, I'd rather be hung from the neck until blue than be forced to read anything more by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, or Steinbeck.

an old man's funnybone turns to thoughts of semantics.

Driver accused of offering walkers money for sex

Nineteen-year-old Trytton Jarvis is accused of exposing himself and offering money for sex to two 15-year-old girls walking on Route 2 in Plainfield on Saturday, ... He also is facing charges of driving up to a woman on Route 100 in Duxbury and offering to pay to have [her] perform a sex act on April 30....

Now, son, let me try again to explain the difference between someone walking on the street and a streetwalker.

Kid 2009

One kid born today at about 5:30 AM. The kid is now nursing unassisted by humans so we can stop bothering it. No one who hasn't had an animal die despite one's best efforts can understand what a relief that is.
