23. November, 2001 - how was your turkey?

• 13 percent of turkeys are bad. Full of sam & ella. That's good eatin'.
• Today is Buy Nothing Day. Personally, I cut way down on my shopping in various stores as they put up the Christmas decorations (starting well before Halloween in some cases). Once the decorations go up, I only shop there only if I have to because it's the only store carrying the item I need. I'm happy to shop somewhere that costs more that doesn't slap me in the face with Christmas decorations in October.
• Mastercard baseball tour ripped off from real fans. Fargin bastages.
• Michael Fraase is having More fun with spammers. And I can finally read the article, because the slashdot effect seems to have worn off. Personally, I just route most of the spam through SpamCop, but he seems to have more energy than I do.
• Is there a Fannish Accent among folks who attend cons? Sure looks like it, especially to a mundane speech therapist.
• A Suburban D. C. County outlaws smoking in your own home, if the smoke wafts across a property line. Okay, that makes a kind of sense, but how about we do the same enforcement on cars, buses, leaf-blowers, power plants, flatulent people, and Congress-critters. Or have I repeated myself?
