From Phobias, Part III:

"Spiders, we are told by Ranger Rick and his cartel, are actually wonderful little creatures that help everyone by eating bugs. To the arachnophobe, this is like being told that being completely drenched in human blood helps prevent sunburn. The balance of the fragile ecosphere is of secondary concern when you're convinced that spiders are eight-legged little demons who see a glowing vacancy sign outside every ear canal."

From Phobias, Part I:

"Can a fear of death really be classified as a phobia? Isn't that something like a coitus fetish?"

makeashorterlink.com is perhaps one of the most useful web sites ever to grace this great wide inter-connected network.

I am slowly being drawn towards the inescapable conclusion that I, despite all rational thought to the contrary, want to buy a GameBoy Advance and The Lost Vikings to go in it.

I may go nuts and head to Adelaide for some festival or other. Final plans are undecided, but the draw of people I know and love performing, plus people I know and love being there and possibly being able to put me up...those are powerful draws.

Following up on the "new Werewolf is WTF" post of a few days ago, here's an excellent, if geeky to the max, quotation I just found:

In 1989, a random of the journalistic persuasion asked hacker Paul Boutin "What do you think will be the biggest problem in computing in the 90s?" Paul's straight-faced response: "There are only 17,000 three-letter acronyms."
