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.

One of the few e-mail things I really enjoy receiving every week is the update from Electric Scotland, edited by Alistair McIntyre. He just seems like a fine fellow and full of life and good humor. He sends out a huge update once a week, and always ends it with a joke. This week's:

Dr. Carlyle Marney, one of the prophetic figures in the American Church [Southern Baptist], was gardening one Monday morning at his home in Charlotte. It being a damp wet morning he was wearing old waterproofs and an old hat. Suddenly there was a screech of brakes as a chauffeur-driven Cadillac drew up beside where he was working. A very aristocratic lady got out from the back seat, came over to him, and thinking he was the gardner, inquired in a very condescending manner how much he charged. "Ma'am," he replied, "I don't charge anything. The lady of the house simply lets me sleep with her."

And for fans of Lileks' Gallery of Regrettable Food, Electric Scotland always has something good in the Scottish Food feature section, which has many ways to torture starchy tubers and offal for the amusement of your dinner guests.

Remember, if it's not Scottish, it's CRAP!
