Robot Monkeys

We just had an earthquake! Yay!

Since I moved out to California, I’m been wanting an earthquake. Not big one. Just something to rattle the dishes and let you know you had one. And we had a 5.6! Perfect right? Not really. I missed it. I was sitting IMing Sarah about something when she said, “Did we just have earthquake?” “I don’t think so.” Then sure enough, the USGS reported it, and if that wasn’t enough, my upstairs neighbor came down and asked about the earthquake. Everyone seemed to notice it except me.

The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi has died a day after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys.

The revolution begins.

Scene: Registration table for a pediatric cancer benefit marathon. A stereotypical teamster guy sits behind the table.

Enter woman runner

Teamster: “The registration fee is 30 dollars.”

Runner: sheepishly“All I’ve got is 29.”Smiles hopefully

Teamster: “Look lady. If it was up to me, I’d let you go, but these cancer kids… They’re real ball-breakers.”

Enter bald kid with an IV

Jimmy: sneering“Do we have problem here?”

Teamster: “N-n-no Jimmy. Th-there’s no problem.”

Jimmy: eyeing both “I didn’t think so.”

Exit Jimmy

Bound to be THE social event of the quarter. (Sadly.)
