We're deliberately playing non-rock music at the beginning. Tonight I'm thinking of torturing my entire crew with Steely Dan, woooo!

It's all true:
In the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, over 50 cats prowl about catching rats which threaten to destroy the ancient paperwork and materials. The head of the cats is called Dimitri. The cats must be "powerful". Read, fat.

Large Russian Cat:
Gimme a break, it's lunchtime.

Rats of the Hermitage:
Look out, Serge. Here comes Dimitri. Oh, ha ha. He has a milk mustache.

Actual tech support calls:
"Tech Support: "Hello, tech support, can I help you?"
Customer: (slowly) "Oohh." (pause) "I think I did a bad thing."
Tech Support: "Ok, so tell me what's up."
Customer: "Well, my computer was running great. Everything was working fine, I had no problems whatsoever."
Tech Support: "Ok..."
Customer: "So I decided to open it up and have a look inside. I saw all these wires dangling all over the place. There were grey flat ones, and small red, black, and yellow ones, and it seemed like they weren't connected to anything. So I decided to plug them all in."
Tech Support: "Um, you mean you plugged them all in? What did you plug them into?"
Customer: "Well, whatever I could get them to connect to. I saw pins sticking off of some of the boards that didn't have anything on them, so I plugged all the loose wires in to make it run better."
Tech Support: "And then you..."
Customer: "And so I plugged them all in, and I hit the power button, and there was this loud bang and a flash and a puff of smoke. Now it doesn't work at all."
Tech Support: (suppressing all emotion and turning deep crimson) "Can you hold for a minute, please?"
Kaboom! "Explosive" doesn't adequately describe the laughter. I related the story to some co-workers between gasps for breath. Several of the techs and I had quite the laugh fest while he was on hold. After about five minutes of eye-popping, sweat-beading laughter, I wiped away the tears, took a sip of water, and came back on the line. I knew it'd be futile to even attempt to troubleshoot it.

It seems some Americans cannot do anything without their pets anymore, even when they are quietly searching for internal peace.
Some people have been bitten by a new yoga bug - the kind that allows you to meditate with dogs.
The practice, launched in New York, has spread from Miami and Hollywood.
Some call it "doga," others "Ruff Yoga."

So last night, I walk out to the lobby to tell the box office girls that it's time to close the doors and start the show. I overhear this guy standing there, saying, "Yeah I don't listen to much talk radio, but I read about this in the Mercury so I thought I'd come check it out" and I say, "You came based on the Mercury review?" and he says, "Yeah" and I laugh, and he says, "What?" and I say, "That was a terrible review" and he says, "Well that's how I knew I would probably like it." So pbbbt to you, Toussaint!
Anyway it's all over now and I've got serious post-show blues.
