An annual report on President Bush’s health released this week revealed that Bush was treated for Lyme disease last year.

Among potential symptoms of Lyme disease are neurocognative impairment, hallucinations, and psychosis. Hmmm…I wonder…

Here’s a rather entertaining video from our visit to Rocky Mountain National Park showing the SHA girls — Becky, Shannon, Kristy and V — running away from the terrifying spectre of… a chipmunk.

Note also my girly giggle.

You might hear Becky saying something about “bubonic plague.” The reason is because, during the drive up, I had been reading aloud from a pamphlet outlining the various dangers campers might face in the park, and one of them was the possibility that various creatures, including chipmunks, might be infected with the plague. The girls took this remote risk a little too much to heart, methinks. :)

BTW, I’m sorry for not getting my full gallery of Denver pics up yet. Maybe later today. They’re online now! :) Of particular interest, the all-important boob picture:

Heh.

I’ve split the gallery up into three sections: the Denver Zoo, our day in the Rockies, and other pics from the trip. Enjoy!

P.S. Aww, ain’t we cute?

Yes, you can buy the song from iTunes. :)

Peter Evans, July 2: “‘Summer terror spectacular’? Is it a musical? Will the terrorists be holding a musical?”

AFP, August 2: “‘Jihad: The Musical,’ which features songs including ‘I wanna be like Osama’ and is described as ‘a madcap gallop through the wacky world of international terrorism,’ is on at the Edinburgh Fringe festival this month.”

Heh.

UPDATE: There’s video!

I have no idea what brought this on, but something reminded me of the old Saturday Night Live “King Tut” skit, and I started wondering whether it’s on the Interwebs. Well, it is:

Heh.

On the topic of lolcats, bar-studying law grads really shouldn’t miss the Bar Exam Lolcats Facebook group. A few samples:

Heh. (Hat tip: Anonymous.)

Time.com catches up with the lolcat phenomenon:

Fans can watch the layers pile up in real time. I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? has already begotten a gray cat licking its chops and saying I DID HAS CHEEZBURGER–and has jumped species to include a white bunny, its mouth open wide, saying INVISIBLE CHEEZBURGER. Further interspecies hybridization has produced loldogs, lolbirds, lolhamsters, lolmice and–a little masterpiece of verbal economy–the tusked, amphibious lolrus. (The I HAS A BUCKET lolrus, starring a tragic walrus deprived of its only possession, is threatening to spin off into a freestanding meme in its own right.) Humans are also fair game: there are lolgeeks, lolgays and lolbrarians. A popular image of Nancy Pelosi being sworn in as Speaker of the House has been given the caption I’M IN UR HOUSE IMPEACHING UR DOODZ.

See for yourself here. Personally, I prefer this:

Many more lolcats at I Can Has Cheezburger.

Casey, describing his 4th of July party: “Maybe 30-40 people showed up. The best thing is that everyone brought beer, but very few people drank beer (I always serve copious wine at parties). As a result, I estimate that I presently control 26% of the world’s beer supply.”

In case you’re looking for new things to worry about, here’s a list of eight ways life on Earth could end in the 21st century.

Decepticons are not specifically mentioned, but “Robots Take Over The World” is #5 on the list. Such an event would, on top of everything else, exacerbate the health-care crisis, since robots eat old people’s medicine for fuel.

P.S. The “list,” which I found on Fark, is actually based on a four-year-old book. You can read some previous articles about it here and here.
