Cascarones crunch,
confetti falls around you--
flowers in your hair.

A favorite phenomenon of mine.

Frogs rain down on Serbia:

He said: "A whirlwind has sucked up the frogs from a lake, the sea or some other body of water somewhere else and carried them along to Odzaci where they have fallen to the ground. It is a recognised scientific phenomenon."

But wait.

This...whirlwind, you say?...Sucked up a bunch of frogs from some body of water and dropped them somewhere else.  Yet, it did not rain frogs and water.  Only frogs.  It didn't rain snails, fish, insects, or any of the various other forms of animal life that must exist alongside the frogs.  It only rained frogs.  That's a very selective whirlwind, don't you think?

I received a comment for my old blog, on a post about some cops in New Hampshire apparently persecuting someone who was open carrying legally there.  The old post is here (from October 2005).  The commenter left a link to a video, saying, "Here's a video of Abbott Presby's son confronting Penny Dean."  Read the old post to see who he's talking about.

The video is here, titled "Cop's son makes fool of himself at public forum."  I usually use the TechCrunch video download tool to grab videos if I think they're relevant, but this one is too big for my dial-up connection, about 16 megs.  So I'm providing a link for those of you with broadband connections, but I haven't actually watched it myself.

Another good one at Wondermark.
