« What the tinfoil doesn't protect you from, the wine will. :) » The only thing I've seen this week is the inside of the bus, the datacenter bunker and the dog park as, like Murphy's wisdom demands, everything tends to happen all at once and in the most inconvenient manner possible. And that doesn't even include the blasting of bedrock or rising water. At least the lift hasn't decided to trap me this week. Amidst all the rather usual and dull news these days I read that Deep Throat decloaked at the urging of what sounds like family trying to cash in before he kicks it, which is consistent with the three people who might confirm or deny the verity of his admission refusing to do so. I don't know why, but I feel violated somehow as I remember watching the 10 o'clock news' Watergate reports every night as a kid and imagining Deep Throat as a kind of folk hero, the kind you only see in comic books and movies. A mysterious everyman who did the right thing. A man who spawned more tinfoil hat conspiracy theories than Area 51. A man who gave us a modicum of hope that not everyone in DC was a crook. Now, in a very undignified, very American manner the hero comes out to sell book and movie rights to his story so his family can profit after he's pushing up daisies. It's a pity that there aren't more people like him in Washington these days given that Watergate seems like a quaint misdemeanor by current standards, but why bother when you can be a dirtbag, make millions and still sell book and movie rights to your sordid tale without shame. Perhaps it was inevitable, but I'm disappointed that the mystery man didn't take it to his grave and leave his family to sully themselves alone. Who knew that journalists would have more scruples 30 years on? Three cheers for Woodward, Bernstein and the Fourth Estate.

The bad news is that the last call jarred loose a few new issues, as last calls will, but we’re still very close. The working group is doing great, I love ’em.

My eyewear fetish is something I've always thought of as a compensatory tactic for my inability to have the more traditional shoe fetish due to my titanic 10-10 1/2[US] feet which could never look dainty no matter how stylish the footwear. My secret fetish is hats. I adore hats, but aside from the more practical winter coverings for my cranium I usually look, but don't buy. I always envied the Queen Mum for her abiility to wear the ugliest of hats without the slightest sign of self-consciousness. All those awful hats with matching ensembles paired with the royal smile and wave saying, "Fuck all the little people, I love my hat! I am a sexy beast!" I would have paid good money to see her wear a fuzzy, fringed pimpdaddy hat with gold capped teeth. I wonder what family did with all those hats she left behind and didn't get buried wearing. This Easter peep hat [Hope Hat, Uudenmankatu] caught my eye and I had to stare at it for a brief while with lust. My usual internal dialogue is, "Would I wear that hat? Yes. Would I wear that hat outside the house? Hmmm....no." It's always the same unless the hat is black and doesn't attract attention. I used to wear a black bowler, but I got way too many smartass jerks asking me if it was Clockwork Orange day. Clearly they were uncivilised cretins who hadn't ever seen Emma Peel in The Avengers. But hats like this make me wish I had what the Queen Mum had in the hat hutzpah department. Of course, with a 7 3/4 hat size, the cute Easter peep hat wouldn't likely fit me any more than a cute pair of fashionable shoes would fit my Cunard sized feet, but we always desire most that which we cannot have or look good in...don't we? And, for anyone who has ever enjoyed the marshmallowy goodness that are marshmallow peeps, it's Peeps Week time again with Dr. Fun. :) Hats off to GoogleHats off to Google 05/09/2004 05:11 PM Singapore Business Times May 9 2004 8:42PM GMT African Hats and HairAfrican Hats and Hair 10/30/2003 01:42 PM Hats Off!

The only canine enlisted in the Royal Navy, Just Nuisance served from 1939 to 1944 in Simon's Town, South Africa (on his papers his occupation was listed as 'Bone Crusher' and his religion 'Canine Divinity League [Anti-Vivisection]'). Providing a great source of morale to sailors stationed there he would escort them on train trips and make sure they made it back to base after a night on the town. Of course being a sailor himself he was privy to a few brushes with the law as well by traveling on the railways without a pass (punishment: Confined to the banks of Froggy Pond, Lily Pool, with all lamp posts removed) or sleeping on an Officer's bed (punishment: Deprived of bones for seven days.). Married, and survived by five children, on his death he was afforded a funeral with full military colours. You can read his biography (which spawned a television series), or merely pay respects at his stat ue next time you're in Simon's Town.
