General link propogation

[ciphergoth]

I am going to the pub tonight even though I travel to Whitby tomorrow. Might as well start the drinking marathon early...

A story for the 21st century: we were having coffee in the Elephant House on George IV Bridge on Saturday when I overheard a conversation on the next table.

- "I'm going to have to change my ring tone before I see my folks"
- "Why's that?"
- "Well, my Dad gave me a ringtone for my birthday, and... you know how it is, like when your folks give you a sweater..."

I've started saving up links I want to propogate to put in one big post, rather than making lots of little posts. I was in the middle of doing this when I had to reach around the back of my computer; I accidentally jiggled the lead of my PS/2 mouse, and of course that makes it stop functioning until you reboot the computer. Of course. WHOSE FUCKING STUPID IDEA WAS THAT? I found I could submit the post using only the keyboard, but I could not make it private without the mouse. I made it private later (after fighting with network troubles following the reboot). Here are the same links (and more), presented more presentably.

• Lapine caption competition (thanks, adjectivemarcus!)
• The usual tired anti-polyamory crap, disappointing coming from Salon. (thanks cairmen)
• Nik's quote from last Wednesday: "You don't want to eat brassica at three in the morning"
• I can't remember who reminded me about get your war on; just spent a while re-reading it and picking out a couple of faves:
  • Shalom
  • Fuel alternatives
• Those against random US aggression are trying some inventive approaches to stemming it
• Finally, jinxremoving pointed out slowwave.com to me, I wandered through and selected some favourites again. Unfortunately my browser seems to have lost the ability to render these GIFs for some mysterious reason, so I've forgotten which is which - you'll have to click and enjoy...
