One: I'm not going to hop on the Google-bashing train. Whatever ills have befallen them, brought about by their own hubris or not, they still run one heck of a search engine. It's important to remember this in times of confusion and frustration. When trying to search the internet to find a bible belt, an elongated strap literally composed of bibles / depicting biblical scenes / etched with scripture and meant to be worn about the waist to keep one's pants in place, the majority of the search results will not be pertinent. Don't blame Google - it's not their fault.

Two: It seems I was one of the few commuters not affected by the torrential downpour wreaking chaos upon this fair city's mass transit system this morning, but I'd heard from others that havoc and mayhem were in full effect city-wide. These claims were corroborated as I entered my office and saw our building's resident bum, "Red", passed-out with his face resting on the sidewalk as usual, but wearing a clear plastic rain poncho.

I'm confused: are you hankering for a pun?

Congrats on the job. I didn't know you spoke Spanish.

yes, i too shall not harp on google. plus it briefly made my blog number one for the search term 'gored in the scrotum' (it should be noted that morland's blog shall now have the honor, thanks to this very sentence).

This is the number one hit when you type "gored in the scrotum" in google.

Note the sentense forth from the bottom: "Another American, from Georgia, was gored in the scrotum, in the bullring, in what the government spokesman said was a "slight injury."

I've actually slipped, but on the same page.

Look for yourself.
