I should stop watching videos about Lollipop Chainsaw. I always just end up with "Hey Mickey" stuck in my head.

Still, could be worse. At least "Hey Mickey" is a good song.

Make that my second best avoidance technique. It was closely followed by my best one - going for a walk. I saw some cute cygnets though, and we picked up a load of fallen branches for firewood. I hate it when it's windy, but at least it's profitable.

I'd ask you for a comparison, but I know where that path leads.

Whoa! I have just seen the most terrific picture. I hope this works.

Hmm, no, not quite. If you follow the link, you need the second picture along. It's not the man in the pic, it's the shop behind him.

Going camping with my son's scout pack today. I'll need vodka before the sun falls. I don't think they let you have vodka, though.

Ooooh - you must all go check out Google. Now. Alan Turing's birthday is being celebrated by a digital recreation of an analogue computer thingy on the main page.

It.

Is.

AWESOME.

That is a remarkable device. I enjoyed the video despite my longterm hatred of Legos.

I just had an AtCT idea in the middle of writing my SFF challenge.

I am overloaded with jokes and now I don't know which one to write first.

Oh, and does anyone know a treatment for ticks? (Just research, I promise )

The best I know to handle ticks is to spread clear nail polish on them and then BURN THEM WITH FIRE!!!! Ok well you can skip the fire part. But the nail polish is good because it stops them from being able to breathe so they retract their nasty little heads. Then from there you can pull them off. If you try to pull them off with their head still inside then the head stays in you and can get infected and what not.

Hope that helps.

Never use nail polish or another irritant (including hot matches) on a tick. It increases your chances of getting Lyme disease, as the tick vomits its stomach content into you as a reflex.

The best way to remove a tick is with a tick remover, or tweezers if you don't have one.
