Want cyborg teddy!

Early attempts at human-machine hybrids
Early efforts at creating a human-machine hybrid were unsuccessful.

The subject did not gain any of the benefits of cyborgism — extended lifespan, bone-crushing strength, heightened mental faculties — and in the process, the computer used to augment the human was compromised. (Thereafter all the programmers could do was get it to do was ask for its “ba-ba”.)

Up side: misbehaving children were much easier to control. Down side, this strict control required a lax attitude towards explosive incontinence. (Not even a three-foot stack of towels could contain it.)

Things on the home page of university websites

And yes, this has been noticed by others: in my experience people aren’t really too interested in your fund-raising efforts or the awesome things your outstanding and brilliant Center in Toenail Studies is doing in fungus-stricken New Jersey (though they should be with the latter).

They do, however, really want to know what the local weather is, or perhaps, if you have an art history program.

Meat Treat — A Lunchtime Odyssey

I’ve actually had a job wearing big mascot-like costumes. For a brief period in 1988, I was employed as a singing telegram man, singing birthday greetings, anniversary congratulations and nuptial announcements in a number of places around town. I was able to play guitar and sing, so most of the time, I was given the top hat and tails costume, which yields just a small amount of psychic residue. However, the gorilla suit… (Well, just look around my website, and you’ll see it caused a certain amount of damage.)

All things you should keep in mind as you watch Meat Treat.
