I came humorously close to running out of gas yesterday in the exact same spot as I did last time. As this mini-drama played out I considered the questionable trade-off between suffering through such an event and the potential joys of getting to illustrate here what a dope I can be for having this happen again. Well I managed to avoid succumbing to my fuel crisis, but this still must have been a glimpse into my future, as this morning I found that Hudson the wonder dog had left me a present in the kitchen in the form of a prodigiously giant poo, quite reminiscent of the morning I nearly drowned in a puddle of piddle (she could nap in a blizzard, but hates rain so much she managed to forego this necessary bodily function during her trips outside all day to stay drier). This leaves me trying to figure out if my life is becoming Groundhog Day, where I will start experiencing the same events over and over. I can only hope not... just like big hands mean big gloves, big dog=big poo, and next time should I manage to find it with my foot rather than with my eyes (like I did with the piddle puddle), I may never be heard from again until some archeologist finds my remains inside a giant fossilized turd.

R.I.P.: Dee Dee Ramone Found Dead in L.A. Thanks Joseph Wilwayco. I guess there's no irony that the author of Chinese Rock would O.D., but sad nonetheless.

Play Time: Create your own South Park Character (Flash required). Thanks David Hoffman.
Link of the Day: Stockflight's The Story of Big Payback. Thanks Scott C. Warren.

Follow-up: The new custom 404 Not Found page on 404lab. Fixed hours after yesterday's observation that one didn't exist. Now that's power!
