but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines

ALL SHOOK UP

1) I didn't feel the earthquake.
2) Threw a wedding shower this weekend. It was a day full of pleasantries with older British women. On the way home from the party, I had to pull off the freeway so that I could vomit violently behind a Denny's. (Probably not the first time that has happened.)
3) Saw a production of "Cabaret" last night. During the final number of the show, the director added a low grade sound under the seats to create a rumbling, shaking feeling. FREAKED ME OUT. Not unlike the final moments of "Signs" in which I was so panicked, I broke out in sweat and scarred my upper lip with my own finger nail.

Fable of the Moment
Once upon a time, there was a very special lemming named Norm. Norm was a born leader. His colony would do anything he did. Those who did "deviate from the Norm" were banished.
Then, one day, a grave danger threatened the colony: The weasels were coming! The calm resolve in Norm's voice stilled the rising tumult: "To the cliffs!" The colony followed him without hesitation.
And all were lost in the cold, cold sea. All except those who had refused to follow Norm...they were devoured by weasels.
MORAL:
Go ahead and blindly trust your leaders. We're all doomed anyway.
Paraphrased from a Time Egan 'Deep Cover' cartoon: ASAP's Fables: "A-Moral-a-Minute".
Game Theory of the Moment
Slashdot linked to a Slate piece about research on Game Theory at NASCAR...there are deeper strategies than you might think going on as they go around and around and around and around, but still, I think the main reason people watch is the hope that somebody crashes and not the deep brinkmanship going on.

Sidebar Commentary of the Moment
Hrrm, I wonder if Dylan might be pregnant.
