"Oh God, Doctor, I was hoping it was cancer"

Read this story to understand. It's not a rant; this is the story of an admirable man.

I'm not sure I'm up to this

Fuck Politeness nails it on that fuckwitted douchebag Nalliah. I'm not sure I can come up with any better words. In fact, just about every time I see something that makes me want to rant, someone else has already done it better.

Meh. So it may become a blog'o'links. Whatever.

Jabberwocky

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Frumiousness

Frumious, adj
Definition: fuming and furious
Etymology: 1871, coined by Lewis Carroll, who said it was a blend of fuming and furious. He used it in both "Jabberwocky" and "The Hunting of the Snark" (1876).
