    My friend forced me to make a Dungeons and Dragons Online account and I named my character “Brentardo Fancypants.”

    True story.

    And why should we believe this recantation, Mr. Erasmus? You do realize that the auspicious return of Frog Applause bears with it certain…obligations?

    The “Daily Mail War Map” itself is here:

    http://tinyurl.com/d5m4qwn

    The information and images printed on the map make it appear to have been printed soon after the war began. The numbers of airships and naval vessels are for the pre-war period; there’s a list of “War Funds Available,” and down in a corner there’s a list of neutral nations. Italy declared its neutrality on 1 August 1914, and on 6 August Parliament voted to fund the war with one hundred million pounds, so if the Daily Mail was reasonably quick about updating its facts, this map was available right at the start of the war.

    Dear Aunt Teresa,

    Welcome back! I knew they didn’t have enough evidence to indict. Mom says to tell you she’s happy she won’t have to testify. I told you that lye is better than sulfuric acid for disposing of remains. Does this mean that we can start cashing those post-dated checks?

    Dear teresa.frog.applause

    I remember those days very well. Although Rotifer had just turned 13 he was still nursing, and I was doing anything I could to avoid him (he needed to break the habit of between meal snacks).

    Sincerely,

    /s/ Rotifer’s Mother

    ICE CRYSTALSThose ice crystals look like they formed after an event like freezing fog, like the pictures I posted here earlier this fall. I’ve got some on an oak leaf too but they formed under completely different circumstances. These formed after the temperature went from not cold to near 0°F overnight. The leaf probably fell onto the frozen part of the stream while it wtill had open areas from which water could evaporate from the relatively warm water and then go directly from vapor to ice on the leaf.Not far from the leaf, there was this log with ice crystals formed most likely when moisture within the still warm log evaporated and froze when it left the log:Bigger versions:http://www.lafinlarry.net/nature/xti6000/ice-xtals-9-6187.jpghttp://www.lafinlarry.net/nature/xti6000/ice-xtals-9-6245.jpg

    RE: blog. The Carrot picture is from a wonderful book called Stranger in the Woods. It is full of photos and has a charming story, as I recall. I bought it for my little brother about 10 years ago, I think.

    You can see a live video of the silo collapse at LiveLeak. This falls into the category of “Things you couldn’t do again if you tried.”

    I predict that the guy in the cartoon will turn out to be Nostradamus. And sometime next month it will be revealed that he was really an actor called Stephen Fry, which will cause the end of the world to arrive.

    @Pan LadyBehind the veneer of pearly whitesAnd beneath the glow of shiny potLay the whispers and ennui Of a housewife distraughtFor though she tries keeping The blue devil at bayShe can’t help but think of howTo make her husband payFor this is not the life imaginedWhere are her jewels and pretty thingsInstead it’s all diapers and dustingand meaningless longingsNow there was nothing else leftBut this burning hatredShe wouldn’t be freeUntil she saw her mate dead.

    @blog:“Easy with crust quick” At bat would work, esp if you cut of the good part. I have used a wine bottle for a rolling pin, and ALWAYS use vodka for 1/2 of the water.
