In case folks haven't heard yet, Tumblr is banning "adult content" as of December 17th.

We actually got some thundershowers early this evening, which was a pleasant surprise at this time of year. Before that, I FINALLY got out and went to Calloway's, where I picked up two hibiscus plants (orange and yellow) and three little moss rose. I'll have to get new pots for the hibiscus, but the moss rose can live in a clay pot recently vacated by some johnny-jump-ups.

Here is an absolutely bananapants story out of Canada -- British Columbia child custody case involves a stuffed lion toy as lawyer. And that's not even the bananapants part!

The unusual child custody trial featured the couple speaking in tongues to a stuffed animal they said transmitted the word of God directly to them and refusing legal assistance because Jesus Christ — through the stuffed lion — was their lawyer, witness and judge.

Okay then! The article makes it clear there was a lot going on with this family, none of it good. :-(

I think every House fan on my f-list will know what my very first thought was when I saw this headline:

Idaho Guv Appeared In 90's-Era Western That Was Later Edited Into Porn

Yes. Wilson's college roommate strikes again. :D

Xerox Workcentre Series 7535 and 7556 scanner/copiers alter text numbers when making copies. That is, if your paper document says "65,40," it may come out on the copy as "85,40." WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? :D

I don't even care for babies (well, I don't), and yet I'm enjoying the flither and blither about the princeling. It's like a tiny bit of happy in a sea of sad and ugly news.

Also it's interesting that the BBC news guys warn for the strobe effect of the flashing cameras. I don't think I've ever heard the U.S. news do that.

Matt Smith to leave 'Doctor Who' at Christmas; a new Doctor will regenerate. :(

Jean Stapleton passes away, aged 90.

I was never a fan of All in the Family because I grew up in a neighborhood filled with Archie Bunkers, but Jean Stapleton was amazing.

Go 'Hawks.
