This is why parrots RULE
May. 21st, 2008 07:03 pmI know, this is my fannish journal, but this is the bestest thing ever: Lost parrot tells veterinarian his address.
Actually, I am probably less amazed that the parrot was able to do this and simply incredibly pleased that the featherbutt got to go home. Though I will admit to being amused by the fact that he wouldn't talk to the cops.

A 404 page I just stumbled across gave me a good giggle, so of course I have to share. It's a little lengthy but I don't think it really needs a cut.
The page which you requested was not found on this server, or the server was instructed not to let you have it. There could be a number of reasons for this error. The most common include:
- The Web Master for this page is a Lazy Git. The page which you requested may not have been built yet, and as such is not available for viewing.
- The page which you are looking for may have moved, or been deleted.
- The Web Master may have been working on these pages very late at night, and run out of caffeine. This causes frequent minor errors such as misspelled hypertext links, misplaced files, and mystery documents which disappear into thin air (or thinner electrons). You may have been directed to the wrong page. Mea Culpa. I'll try not to do it again.
- You yourself may be working under the influence of too little caffeine, and have typed in the address incorrectly. Double check the address, and try again.
- The little spiders living in your computer are feeling neglected, and have decided to play tricks on you. Tell them you love them, beg with them, plead with them, and try reloading the page. Maybe they'll give you what you're looking for on your second attempt.
- You might simply not exist. This server regularly refuses service to people who do not exist. Double check your reality, and come back when you have the answer to life, the universe, and everything. (Are you really sure it's 42?)
If all else fails, you could try sending email to the webmaster, Nightshade@Shades-of- Night.com with a description of the problem you encountered, and perhaps the universe will see fit to serve you better in the future.
Thank you for your understanding, tolerance, and sense of humor.

I'll say one thing about the Open Source Boob Project: it sure did a great job of keeping my mind off of Pennsylvania and the Democratic quagmire yesterday.
Which is part of the reason I'm going to risk talking about it here. I'm not going to post any links - if this post is the first you've seen of this mess, take it as a sign that the gods don't want you getting wrapped up in internet drama.
( Blah blah blah )

I have mixed feelings about the political process in general but I hate elections in this country and the bigger they are the more I hate them. I hate the smear campaigns that everyone agrees in hindsight were so much bullshit but still work, I hate how often candidates are less interested in talking about why they're better and more interested in talking about why their opponent is worse, and I hate the ridiculously obscene amounts of money involved. I hate having to choose who makes my gorge rise the least.
I am not unaware that I am fortunate to live somewhere where elections don't routinely involve violence. I exercise my right to vote, though it could be argued that the process has become so distorted that casting a ballot is only a bit of mummery and any genuine rights to choose how I am represented in government were lost long ago. Regardless, no one can say I don't show up.
But it's still disgusting.
