"Big in Japan"

So that's where Voltaire got the name for his latest Deady book!

the phrase has been around a while. it's a handy "comeback" for artsy types who don't get much notice 'round home. doesn't work if you're japanese, of course.

Anyways -- 'nother candy I want to try.
Wine gums.

Nope, chewy candy. It's British.

humility is for the unenlightened! the world's problems would be solved if they just used BGN as the basis for all law. :D

**ZOOLOGICAL RESEARCH**

You may recall the Cephalopodidae specimens I exhibited a while back:
Image

Newly uncovered evidence indicates their range extends beyond the "Old Dutchman's Store" after all!
Image

While not photographic, this technical illustration clearly shows the distinctive features of what, due to different coloration, is likely a subspecies which I have, for the sake of convenience, dubbed Octopus gummicus rikkii.
(official nomenclature will have to wait until the International Gelatinous Cephalopod Taxonomy and Nomenclature Committee's next meeting, currently not yet scheduled.)

More evidence here! http://www.tavicat.com/ranklechick_oog01/D5652E55-56F8-4E12-B2B3-C4B173D767CA.html

Also excellent observational studies of feline behaviour: http://rikkisimons.livejournal.com/44908.html
