FRIDAY SURPRISE: I told you, but you
wouldn't listen!
Friday, June 01, 2007 Filed in: Permalink
I've been trying my level best to
alert the world about the threat posed by militant
squirrels. They've been testing
us,
attacking
sporadically in an attempt to
weaken
our defenses. Now the unthinkable has happened
- they've acquired advanced weaponry!
Once their internal power struggles have been settled, we're in for a long, hard fight!

FRIDAY SURPRISE: Folks, I don't make
this stuff up...
Friday, May 11, 2007 Filed in: Permalink
The Friday Surprise articles
usually present themselves well in advance of the time I need them.
There's just so much interesting stuff going on in the world that I
usually have no problem finding a topic.
Not this week. It really shouldn't have surprised me, as this week has just been a disaster from the start, but it did annoy me. I just couldn't find anything interesting to write about.
Luckily my old nemesis, The Squirrel, went on another rampage.

FRIDAY SURPRISE: Surveilling the
squirrels
Friday, March 16, 2007 Filed in: Permalink
As you know, I've been on top of
the growing Squirrel Menace. I've alerted you to the pack of
squirrels
that kills dogs, and I've kept you up to date on
the squirrels
that take down planes. It's a tough job, but it's
important to the security of the free world!
Luckily for us all, there is finally one website that dares to expose the deeds of the most notorious squirrels on the planet. Scary Squirrel World: Profiles in Terror is where you can keep up on the most heinous of the squirrel conspirators.

I'll sleep easier knowing that they're one the job!

Now, they've taken down a plane.
What's next?!?
The new face of evil??

A peek into the life of a
world-famous revolversmith

I know you've always wondered: how
does a jet-setting gunsmith work with all of those adoring fans
hanging around? Well, I hate to disappoint you, but unless you
count an overindulged rabbit, no one is hanging around waiting for
me to pay them any attention!
Tyler, the spoiled rabbit
Since my shop isn't open to the public, I get to dress and arrange my environment as suits me. I usually work in sweatpants and a sweatshirt (rarely matching), over which goes my little green grocer's apron.
(You read that correctly; I have two old-fasioned green cotton grocer's aprons, which I acquired when I worked in a grocery store during high school. How long ago was that? Well, let's just say the White House refrigerators were stocked with Billy Beer!)
My shop has no windows, so I'm forced to entertain myself as best I can. I usually do so by playing music at somewhat louder-than-normal volume. One might think this would be a rock-n-roll custom, but not usually - I've been known to play Scottish dance reels, Aaron Copland, Baroque trumpet concertos, and Red Rodney at the same transducer-destroying level. (Eclectic? Hey, I was a music performance minor in college - I'm allowed!)
So if you call and I don't answer the phone, it's because I can't hear it over the noise of the shop equipment. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
