I don't understand why people want to protect sharks. They're sharks! They're bloodthirsty killing machines who've remained at the top of the food chain for millions of years. Isn't it time they had a little natural selection?

I know there'd be changes in things, but I'm pretty sure we'd be able to handle it.

OK, I don't mind people killing sharks if they were going to use them. The meat is really quite good and the sopranos need the skin for suits. But killing a shark for its fin, an elephant for its tusks or goose for just its liver just rubs me the wrong way. Needless waste is wrong on any level.

That would be a KEWL hallowe'en outfit!!

Speaking of which, anyone going to a hallowe'en party and dressing up? If so, what are you going as??

Well, last year I went to a party as a member of the vast right wing conspiracy ...

This year, if the party happens, I might go as a pirate. I had considered going as a witch, but having done the non-costume costume last year, I have to wait a bit, I think.

I go as a witch *every* year!

I think my wife is getting a bit cranky about the fact that we never get to do anything for our anniversary since it is on Samhain, and we are always having a public ritual...
