Devil Blames Self for Carnage

(Reprint correction from previous issue "Devil Blames Elf for Carnage" - 1/15/07)

A written confession by Satan as deposed to the L.A.P.D. office of pre-representative interrogation:

I started talking to myself recently. Ya know, I tend to be quite a lonely guy. I must admit, being the Prince of Darkness doesn't put me at the top of the social calendar. With that I began to mumble to myself under my breath - breath of fire and brimstone, of course. ; ) My voice became clearer and louder, from a whisper to an evil, gravelly baritone. At first I couldn't make out what I was saying, but then it became overwhelming. I was telling myself to go out and commit acts of horrible, bloody flesh-churning violence. Not just telling - commanding. Without being fully cognizant of my actions, I turned suggestion into bone shattering reality. What was I to do but obey. Well, some may say "just don't obey", but they fail to realize just what a relentlessly manipulative terror I can be to a tortured, lonely, outcast soul such as myself. Long story short - limbs, guts, heads on poles. You get the picture. All because the Devil wouldn't take no for an answer. Even now I can hear the evil bastard ratting me out. Anyhooz, that's that in a nutshell.

I made this a while back in the same style as they do on The Onion.

Ramen Anois!



This reporter's name got me pinching myself to see if I was asleep and having a weird dream. My mind could easily have pulled "Ramen Anois!" from Julie Rogue's recent comment to Máire's state fair pic on Scáitháinín Mháire.
... Yeah... I know... his facial expression - You shouldn't chew toffees when you're drunk. (or taffee, if you're an American)

First Day of Class...

Today was my first day of class back at the U of M to start my Masters (and hopefully continue on with my Doctorate) Degree.

One class today.. Another new one tomorrow.

Only one difficulty with the class. I came in and sat down - pretty much in the very middle of the herd of desks, so as to seem neither too eager nor too cloaked. Immediately, a swarm of very good-looking guys rustled in and proceeded to arrange themselves tightly around me, as if I were the 5 in a key pad, and they the remaining numbers. With that, I new my concentration on matters serious and pertinent to my education - at least for this class - would be strenuously challenged, if not DOOMED.

Linguistics guys aren't supposed to be cute?! WTF!

[I yoinked the above passage from an email I sent earlier today. I thought it was so descriptive that I just had to post it here too.]
