"To see the look on the faces of the kids as we were handling and weighing the toads and then euthanizing them was just...The children really got into the character of the event."

Best game ever?  I dunno.  Haven't played it yet, but the title is promising.

The cane toad has been a serious ecological problem for Australia for a long time.  They introduced the toads as a predator for a certain type of beetle that was destroying sugar cane.  Turned out that the toad wasn't a very efficient killer of these beetles to begin with, but it was however killing a lot of the native species that were trying to eat the poisonous toad.  Interesting solution they're offering up.

I never thought he did, but apparently he felt it necessary to prove it.  I think, all the personal drama between him and Goldstein aside (and I mean every last grisly bit of it), Pat's overall a good soldier.  Occasionally he throws out a weird one, but at least he isn't endlessly antagonistic to conservatives or conservatism.  Certainly he should get credit for how relentlessly he hounds the LAT. 

I don't think we should dismiss Patterico, and if you're on Patterico's side, you shouldn't dismiss Goldstein either.  Jeff has a lot to bring to the table regarding classical liberalism, individualism, language and intentionalism.  I think ugliness of the personal drama is starting to eclipse the original debate, which was of critical substance.  As I said in my first commentary on the whole thing, we need both of them.  I meant it.  I don't think it serves any of us well to have Pat and Jeff completely destroying each other, or their readers trying to do the same by proxy in comments and elsewhere.  I'm hoping they call a truce at some point, and this goes back to being solely a philosophical argument.

There's a local chain of sporting goods stores called Chick's that's shutting down.  Wanna guess what it's becoming?

I'm trying to get my head around the currency shenanigans and Turbo Tax Timmy's comments.  I would appreciate anyone who could point me to/give me a brief primer as to what the deal is.  I *think* I understand it but I freely admit that currency trading goes whizzing right over my head most of the time.

Look, I like to pretend I know what I'm talking about when I kick people in the shins.  Help me, Morons, you're my only hope!

The trailer for Spike Jonze's new film was just released today (I think).  Can't. Friggin'. Wait.

But keep it toilet related.

A family living near the 67-year-old folk and rock icon's house in the posh California beachside community of Malibu have complained to city officials about an outdoor portable toilet, which is apparently used by guards on Dylan's compound.

Cindy and David Emminger say the toilet wafts fumes from waste treatment chemicals, and that the smell makes their family feel ill.

P.S. - This mug is HUGE.  It currently holds two full 12 oz beers and, as you can see, is not remotely full.

Public Fister.  That is all.

P.S.:  The Memory Hole has not dropped into same and is being developed as we speak.  Certain limitations of the crawler originally developed are making the scraping of large sites more troublesome than originally anticipated.

On the soundbite culture.  It gave me a serious case of the LOLs.
