Chatting on plastic, someone expressed their desire for a cadre of well-trained fecal attack monkeys. Fuck the home security system. Screw the guard dog. Don’t even bother with the window grates. All you need is a half dozen well trained, well aimed bonobos, and the ultimate in home security is yours. You could probably take over your neighbors’ homes while you’re at it.

Sorry I’ve been away lately. Substantive posts will return sometime soon. It’s the peak of the semester for me at work right now; we’ve adopted a puppy (now nine weeks old); and my wife is out of town visitng her sick grandmother. So send happy thoughts to my wife in northeastern Oklahoma, and send any good potty training karma to me in Atlanta.
