Possumblog

Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Much pixellation has been given over lately to properly identifying persons who strap explosives around their waists and go forth to kill as many innocent persons of other ethnicities as possible, and in doing so, kill themselves. Long time ago, we called 'em anarchists, then there was just plain terrorists, then there was suicide bombers, then homicide bombers, now I see Bjorn Staerk (hey Bjorn!) preferring suicide terrorists.

I believe if we examine the Steve Martin film The Jerk, we can come up with a better name. In one scene, Navin Johnson (born a poor black child) adopts a dog which has just saved the lives of a motel full of guests:

Guest Hey mister! You no call that dog "Lifesaver"!
Navin No?
Guest You call him Shithead!
Navin Good! Shithead.
