Mothers have induced the births of their children to avoid the day. Hell is having a party. But is it really 6/6/06 today, or did we miss it by 4 years? Is 666 even the number we should fear, or is it 616?
Whatever is going on today, you can be sure that one movie is insanely glad for the bruhaha.
Seniors at a Maine high school released 10 goslings and 45 chicks into their school as prank. School administrators freaked out and closed the school. My favorite line?
When students arrived, they were taken to the school gym, which had been sterilized, before being sent home.
Which had been sterilized?! How do you sterilize a gym, exactly? And do it in less then 2 hours, since the first teacher to report the birds came in a 6am, and I’m guessing some enterprising students showed up around 7:15. That’s an impressive feat.
I remember senior pranks getting pretty crazy when I was in high school, but never did I hear of the school even considering closing over one of them. The last bit of overreaction? A court date is still being considered.
I am so trying this. We can’t even play with the dog in the backyard without being bitten to the point of distraction. Of course, having a rain forest’s worth of vegetation in both our backyard and the neighbors probably isn’t helping.

Somone was in a hurry. How does this stuff get on the wire?
This is a vacation post… yes, I’m blogging on vacation. We had the most amazing ice cream today and that is not hyperbole. A co-worker of mine is always looking for a franchise opportunity and I think I found it.
It is Mount Desert Island Ice Cream (slogan: Fearless Flavor); no website. They have the most spectacular ice cream you will ever taste. How good? Let’s put it this way, I probably eat a pint of ice cream a year (don’t like the stuff). I ate half a pint today and plan on going back. Technically, I had sorbet, but I sampled half their flavors before I settled on Blueberry-Basil Sorbet. J– had Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream (which I gratuitously sampled). Mexican Chocolate was a concoction worthy of Montezuma himself; a Mexican chocolate caramelized with brown sugar, curry, and cinnamon, all blended smooth as ice cream can come. We went back to thank them for the samples and, truthfully, tell them it was the best ice cream we’ve ever had.
We’re going back tomorrow. I hope anyone who Googles Bar Harbor, Maine sees this post and checks out Mount Desert Island Ice Cream.
I’ve never felt so guilty leaving my pets. Posting will be lighter than normal (which means it will be non-existant) as I’m on vacation. Ta.
Overhead at home:
“… then there’s the Mejer’s list at work which may or may not contain things on the first Meijer’s list…”
AAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Man, what a boring ass day. After a morning of repetitive edits, I got a string of repetitive meetings. Then, when the afternoon finally arrives, I get another, monumental, repetitive task. All in a days work (well, two actually, since I’ll be finishing the mind-numbing edits in the morning) for this little slave to higher education.
I’d log on to WoW, but I’m afraid I’ll just wind up farming $MINERAL. Less than 3 days until I climb into the Jeep, J– at my side, and head for the East coast. Oh, did I mention that the main road into the area we’re staying passes over a river that’s currently 8 ft (that’s 2.4 meters) over flood stage?
Ok, upbeat frame of mind (note, I will try to avoid using “positive” as anything other than a math operator from here on out): my current ToDo list consists of:
All in all, not a bad list. Of course, I haven’t seen J–‘s list.
