Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,
an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?
Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses
contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,
a singular development of cat communications
that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection
for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents;
you would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance.
And when not being utilized to aide in locomotion,
it often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
O Spot, the complex levels of behaviour you display
connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array.
And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend,
I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

Michael Jackson, dead at 50.
...or is he?
There's the argument that he's been dead for years, and played by a badly-surgically-altered double. Some even go so far to suggest he was actually a robot or alien in a Jackson mask. ("He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil." Much as I like the idea of Darth Jackson... I'm thinking, "No.")
I'm actually more inclined to think it's a publicity stunt, and in 6 months we'll all get to experience The Miracle as he shows up somewhere and performs, thereby proving he really is the King of All Men and the Second Coming of... something. |

Oregon woman obsessed with rabbits arrested again.
Best part: "Sakewitz was sentenced in April 2007 to five years probation and was banned from owning or controlling animals. She also was told not to go within 100 yards of a rabbit.
"That summer, Sakewitz was ordered to spend three days in jail for violating her probation by keeping a rabbit in her house."
That's right... not only did she receive a restraining order, but it took less than 4 months before she had to do a stint behind bars for violating it... by being too close to a rabbit.
This is what happens when the crazy cat lady pulls a nutty, folks.
But wait! There's more...
Oklahoma druggist arrested for killing holdup man.
There are just so many things wrong with this. Not with the shooting of the kid the first time, no. Nor with the second robber, the getaway driver, and the mastermind all being charged in the kid's death. The kid may not have died if the pharmacist hadn't flipped his lid--but being that he was shot already in the head, that seems kind of unlikely.
No, it's the idiots who seem to think that he did the right thing and that it wasn't murder... that's what's wrong. WTF? Dude calmly whipped out a second jammy and busted 5 caps in the unarmed, unconscious, already shot-in-the-head teenager who was lying on his floor after he got back from chasing the other dude round the block. Ummm... that wasn't adrenaline-fueled self defense.
Suitable punishment if convicted of capital offense: be shot in the head with a small caliber round and be left to slowly die in a bloody pool. |

Right.
I'm giving you an assignment.
Yes, you in the chair. The one staring at the monitor.
During the month of June, you are NOT (repeat NOT) allowed to have anyone you know, are associated with, or are related to die. Especially of some long, drawn-out illness. Capiche? No more deaths. I am tired of attending funerals for the immediate relati of various friends. VERY tired.
So no more dead relatives. I trust everyone can meet this one, simple requirement without any undue stress or exceptional effort.
In the even that one of you cannot remain under this very high bar, I shall be forced to think up some horrifically unbalanced punishment. And whilst that is normally a very fine time for me, I would not enjoy it in this circumstance. So, please, for me, fall into line and cooperate? Thank you SO much.

Resurrection!!! Tonight!!!
It seems as if we're having some sort of movie release party for some film I've never heard of which looks pretty bad (which is probably why I've not heard of it), but that means we'll probably have free stuff to give away. Free is good, therefore you should all go. Besides, it's really warm out, which means all the little gothlings will be showing off they're new summer... um... non-wardrobes.
Come to Res! See flesh! Drink drinks! Good music! Drive my profit up! Maybe win free stuff!
Resurrection!!! Tonight!!! |

| Organized Retail... what? |
[May. 12th, 2009|01:26 pm] |
One of the main things I combat at work is known as Organized Retail Crime, or ORC. ORC is what you have when a group of people are working together to turn a profit from shoplifting and theft. The FBI estimates that retailers lose over $30 billion annually to ORC groups in addition to the $30 billion they lose to regular internal and external theft. So catching or foiling such attempts is a "Big Thing" for us.
To help combat this industry, retailers and law enforcement have come together and created few organizations through which they share information about such cases in the hope that spreading intelligence will give someone a chance at apprehension. The two biggest of them are Law Enforcement Retail Partnership Network (LERPnet) and Organized Retail Crime Intelligence Network (ORCIN). My company is a member of both, and a founding partner in ORCIN. It goes to follow that we have a lot of material distributed internally from and on ORCIN, promoting its usefulness.
The ORCIN logo we use:
Of course, most successful people in LP are geeky in some way or another, and all of us are sarcastic to an extreme. Recently, we received a poster that was to be hung in the LP office concerning how to identify if your just-popped case was ORC... which has led through a couple of conversations to this:
( OrcIN, cut to save your page. )
This is exactly why I try not to let my employees to have too much free time... : ) |

Many thanks to the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) webgodd_s, whom I hereby curse for causing me to need my inhaler...
"...harnessing the power of massed, organized, public teabagging..."
"Presumably if he is being teabagged while doing so, the message will be a bit muffled."
"Well, who wouldn't want to teabag John McCain?"
"I think there's a big split between the teabags. The social teabaggers and the fiscal teabaggers are kind of moving apart."

Update on the woundage:
Very slight blackness around the right eye, hardly noticeable. Cheek is a little tender. What really hurts is my right leg just below the knee, which must have been where I landed when we took the girl to the concrete. Other that that, in good spirits, both physical and mental.
Off to steal someone's soul for memorabilia purposes. Woot! >: ) |

Well, this is what I get for missing the brawl at the GB last Saturday. I might be waking up with a nice shiner tomorrow.
But, so help me... I love combative fools. >: ) |
