An Extremely Weird Fifth Column

Because we're entering a dry summer from a wet winter, the Health Department expects mice to invade residential areas in large numbers, seeking food. (This phenomenon is detailed in the preceding post.) Let me preface the following by stating that I love mice and would probably put out rice for them if I didn't think the neighbors might attack me with bokkens.

Although Operation Tiki Mouse hasn't happened yet, there are signs that a particularly weird brand of fifth columnist has been employed to raise the level of the citizens' unease:

1. The Hamilton Library, (the University of Hawaii's main library), has been closed since Halloween due to a catastropic flood which left chest-high mud in the basement and first floors. It finally reopened last week.

In the last 5 days, some fuckwit retard--I mean chemically imbalanced person in need of professional mental health assistance--has set 19 fires in the books.

The Hamilton Library's fire alarm system is not operational, yet, because the power supply that's running is a temporary one (due to the flood). The permanent one won't be installed for another year. People who work on the top floor of the library are reportedly getting somewhat unnerved.

2. The Waikiki Aquarium has some extremely rare little psychedelic clams--which will grow to be quite large psychedelic clams--in a low tank for kids to look at. The clams are also used to breed more little psychedelic, and still-rare, clams.



Somebody stole 7 happy clams.

According to Aquarium Director Andrew Rossiter, the remaining 37 clams have been put "into hiding." This is an incredible and surreal statement to make about clams.

3. Finally, the most disturbing news from The Front is this:

They've bought bazookas.

The Invasion Is Imminent

We had a wet winter here, which was nice, because for about seven years this side of the island has had a drought. The trees look lush again, Manoa Falls is once more Manoa Falls instead of Manoa Dribble, and the sides of Diamond Head are green.

Soon, however, summer, and dry nights, will arrive.

As the vegetation accordingly starts slumbering instead of burgeoning, an Army will notice. And it will be stirred to action.

MICE.

Cute, brown, furry, no question. Shy, not. Sitting there eating grass seed, their bright black inquisitive eyes are upon us.

The important thing, according to the State Health Director, is: "Not To Panic."

I'm panicking.

total self-indulgence

Hi! (scans horizon and clocks audience of 7 1/2, not counting Pratt's rabbits)

The last few--or many--posts, I've tried to entertain others. And even You.

Tonight, I'd just like to say that I'm listening to Infidels by Bob Dylan, and I'm really, really enjoying it.

Have a terrific evening/day!

what the funeral might be like, if the Pope were gonzo

from CNN.com:

THOMPSON'S ASHES TO BE SHOT FROM CANNON





DENVER, Colorado (AP) -- Hunter S. Thompson's ashes will be blasted from a cannon mounted inside a 53-foot-high (16.15 meter-high) sculpture of the journalist's "gonzo fist" emblem, his wife said Tuesday.

The cannon shot, planned sometime in August on the grounds of his Aspen-area home, will fulfill the writer's long-cherished wish.

"It's expensive, but worth every penny," Anita Thompson said. "I'd like to have several explosions. He loved explosions."

no, the work week's not going quite this badly, yet

Hot Tip

Having appeared to a Chilean factory owner in a pair of blue jeans, it seems that He may be weighing in in favor of a South American or Latin candidate for Pope:





Never let it be said that He can't pull an election off by the seat of His pants.
