My work colleagues keep telling me off for drinking too much coke. Yes I KNOW that it's sugary badness that rots your teeth, but since I don't drink tea or coffee what else am I to do?!

My moan for the day: bloddy health and safety Nazis! I've been told that I can't do dissections or sampling in streams or catch small animals for study next year. I'm going to fight this. How am I supposed to teach Anatomy and Ecology and keep it interesting without doing fun stuff (which always has an element of risk - I mean, can you think of anything fun that is absolutely risk free?!)

Rant over! What's on everyone else's minds today - apart from samwiches?!

You could take some shovels and go hunt on the roadside for roadkill. 'Pre-deceased anatomical specimins', plus cleaning up the environment. I s'pose you might have to like jigsaws for that one though.

I have writer's block at the mo, and I've found I might have to go back to Cubicle World ie paid employment. Suckage.

Not sure of the V reference, and I've both read and seen it (unless we're not talking V for Vendetta here)

Nice idea about the roadkill but I think the powers that be would be even more upset about that than the oh so risky pig heart from the butcher idea!

Sorry about the writer's block. What you need is a boring desk job where you can serrupticiously write all day whilst getting paid for it. I spend a happy year as a Receptionist doing that!

So, am I right that everything fun has an element of risk or can anyone come up with a fun 'safe' activity?
I thought of reading but then then there are those pesky paper cuts. Plus I go in for 'extreme' reading, like reading whilst walking (or even driving, but only when there are big queues!), or when in the bath!

'V' - sci-series wherein the aliens-disguised-as-humans liked to snack on rodents.

I've done the 'Boring Desk Job, Hidden Notepad' before. I just prefer the writing without the getting up early and dealing with idiots part. Sigh.

I think you might be right about the mutual exclusivity of 'fun' and 'safe'. Depending on your klutz level, though, pretty much anything can become unsafe fairly fast. Reading is about the safest I can think of, provided it's not combined with cooking etc.

PS I was intrigued by Pratchett's mention of Extreme Sneezing in his last book. The mind boggles. (And I still see David Tennant as MvL.)

You! It was your fault that this has got stuck in my mind! I couldn't remember who first proposed this to me but I had to phone round all of my friends in excitement over the perfectness of the idea! I'm a bit worried as I have heard that the BBC is planning on dramatising Going Postal this Christmas and anything less that the georgeous Scotsman will be a SEVERE let down!

Reading IS a pretty safe activity, but so's being at the comp, chatting/playing games/whatever. I don't really see anything happening with that, unless it was a REALLY freaky, bizzare thing.

But what really, what IS absolutely safe? What carries a 100% guaurantee that absolutely NOTHING bad will happen, fun or not?

My opinion, the only completely safe thing is being dead; nothing bad can happen to a corpse (unless they're undead or something, but they just need to be killed again).

o.m.f.g. i just came back from a friends birthday party, and while i was there, and everyone was asking what we were gonna do next, michelle (bday person) said "okay well we HAVE to watch Dr. Horrible." and i went "......Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog?" And she just grinned at me and nodded.
mind you, this girl is not a firefly fan, or a whedon fan, and i think she's only seen serenity once, and it was shortly after it came out on dvd. i nearly went through the roof.
after everyone else was finally introduced to it (only three of us out of about ten had seen it) the FIRST words out of another friend's mouth were "ok so when are they putting this on broadway?"
to which everyone immediately agreed "OH MY GOD THAT WOULD BE AWESOME"
"or a high school stage play, because i could SO see that on a school stage"
now i must convert them to the browncoat cause ^_^
btw michelle paid to download Dr. H from itunes. XD

I have been told that I may be allowed to take them out looking for wildlife footprints. I may have to go out and plant some so that I can be sure of a good lesson! Now where can I get hold of fake fox feet?!

Sorry, I'll stop going on about work now and share in FLT's joy over Dr Horrible popularity. I've managed to share the love with a couple of non-sci-fi friends too! No-one can resist his might! Bwahahaahahahahahaa! (I've been practicing projecting from the diaphram!)

Once we got a puppy ( I was 6) and my mom said I could show dad in the morning ( now mind you he got home from a business trip around 2 am ) at 6 am I went running into the room , yelled "dad look what we got" and launched the puppy onto him. Being my dad he blinked, said " that's nice snicklefritz" shoved the dog to the floor and went back to sleep.

Yummy! Celebrating the removal of a 6-1/2 foot long snake from my little backyard chicken coop - friend of ours, a local high school natural sciences teacher came and captured the reptile (that's been dining on the eggs for a week or more) - he was delighted as he'd never seen that size of this particular type of snake - and I was over the damn moon that the sucker was evicted - not a pleasant thing to find curled up in a nest box!

There are many snakes that are called 'Chicken snakes'. Did it look like this?




That's the biggest common snake in the US and is called a Grey Rat Snake or Elaphe obsoleta spiloides

You were privaleged to see something of such great beauty! I'd be happy to pay it a tribute of eggs in return for the honour of a visit!

Heh, Emma - yes that's EXACTLY how it looked - and despite the fact I was not amused by it's theft of the eggs - had it just stuck with partaking of the rodents, it could have had a permanent home here! Our professor friend was absolutely thrilled with it and having spent his entire life here in Tennessee - he said it was the largest example he had ever seen; so we did pause a moment and appreciate it's long life and superior growth (AND healthy diet!). This particular friend of ours is enamored of all living things and you can be assured that he will give it great care before finding a safe (and rodent-rich) environment to release it.
The professor said he would take it to several of his classes so that his students could appreciate it as well (despite the fact the reptile DID bite him during the capture). I have grown much more accepting of snakes but I just don't like them in my hen house!

Surprisingly no matter how often you explain to snakes that they can have all the rats they want if they leave the eggs alone, they never listen... eggs are like ice cream to them..

Chicken snake is just a nickname. I don't think it's supposed to reflect on its courage! After all, lots of different snakes are known as Chicken Snakes, including pine snakes, corn snakes and rat snakes. I guess farmers only care about how the snakes affect them rather than naming them after their natural habitat or prey items!

Sorry, lecture mode disengaged.

How is everyone this morning (/evening for some!)

Did my research to find the same thing on the snake species as you just said Ems, does that make me a huge geek?

how's everyone? I seem to be rediculously busy, not to mention struggling with drugs, getting messed about by hospitals but can't complain too much, been to the cinema lots recently, finally got my garage cleaned out (feel massively guilty as I stood on the sidelines cheers on as was feeling very poorly) and went and saw open air Shakespeare last night.

If I could just get my body into some kind of working order then life would be a lot easier

Oooh, what did you see? Was it any good? I'm so very excited by the David Tennant/ Patrick Stewart Hamlet tickets I have for September!!

Sorry you're at a low ebb, health wise.

By the way, not geeky at all to be interested in snakes, just shows you have good taste!

Huh. Seems there is a fairly strong contingent of Iowans here on the board.

I REALLLLLLY want a Mojito this evening. Maybe several.

Mojito recipe
Scale ingredients to servings
3 fresh mint sprigs
2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz light rum
club soda (I like lemon lime soda)
Sonic crushed ice (if you can get it)

In a tall thin glass, crush part of the mint with a fork to coat the inside. Add the sugar and lime juice and stir thoroughly. Top with ice. Add rum and mix. Top off with *chilled* club soda (or seltzer). Add a lime slice and the remaining mint, and serve.

Take heart, the day will indeed end, just as soon as the clock hits 12:00 Am.

Thanks for the luck, and mojitos sound so very good right about now.

Iowa is really nice, I'm from Chicago originally and there is a different pace here among the corn and soy beans, lol.

God, today was a crap day. It feels like everyone was complaining.

I had to pass two calls to complaints and another two to my supervisor :(

I'm so glad this is my last week of lates for a while. At least I won't have to put up with endless calls
