Kid, you're buggin' me ... so to speak

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush told a roomful of top Pentagon brass on Thursday that his administration would never stop looking for ways to harm the United States.

The latest installment of misspeak from a president long known for his malapropisms came during a signing ceremony for a new $417 billion defense appropriations bill that includes $25 billion in emergency funding for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we," Bush said.

"Keep it dry for 24 hours," Cindy said, "then you can shower and wash your foot, but no baths -- don't soak it.  Leave the steri-strips on until they come off by themselves."

So today I got my shower (ah, to feel clean!), and all but two of the steri-strips came off, mostly because the skin they're attached to is sloughing off.  This always happens when my toe swells badly after surgery; it seems like it just blows the top layer of the epidermis off.

The toe looks good.

Odd mental experiences

So zeekar's entry to Livejournal brought up one of those odd little mental conversations you have with yourself sometimes, when you see a photo for the first time of someone you've known for years but never met face-to-face.

"Funny," you say to yourself, "I never pictured him looking like that."

"OK," you reply to yourself, "so what DID you picture him looking like?"

At which point you sort of stare blankly at yourself and make incoherent ".....Uuuhhh...buh......" noises as your brain throws a general logic exception....
