Caught in my spam filter, an e-mail advertising in the subject line: "make yourself look really spiny!"
Is that a good thing? Really? Because I for one prefer things non-spiny.
Walking by the pool in my apartment complex, it smells like summer. I watch a dad in the water tossing his little girl up into the air. It reminds me of something my parents used to do with me, back when I was very young and very small.
They used to toss me back and worth between them while in the water. Imagine their surprised when one day I stopped giggling long enough to vomit all over. I don't think we played that game again.

Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.
