Nearly 2006 already?

First of all I'd like to say some things about my previous post. I wouldn't actually wish an agonising death on anyone (even little Johny, as far as it goes with him a peaceful {but soon} death would be fine). Too much suffering already in the world to wish for more.

Went to M'tisa (but it's a dry heat) with Mon cos her youngest brother had eloped a month or so previosly and was finally holding a reception. Also some christenings in a catholic church where I fortunately didn't spontaneously combust or have to hold my head to keep it from spinning (maybe Renee was wrong when she called me an antichrist). As one of the few adults willing ro play with them when other grown ups were around I accumulated many small children throwing themselves at me while at the same time telling me to leave them alone (time to read between the lines and tickle them mercilessly). Was almost killed in the pool when Eskymo (makes kids with ADD look like they're on soma) made a running jump on me from behind without warning (I can still feel exactly where his feet hit my head) slamming my chin into my chest and rendering me groggy for a while and with a painful neck and headache (thankfully he is a small and skinny child so my spine is still intact). His follow up attack was forestalled by the simple expedient of holding him underwater until he decided to leave me alone (cruel but fair {I have a blue card so nothing I do can be child abuse}).

Christmas shopping YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, no, wait, Ohgodohgodohgod will it ever end.
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGH.

Worf still has only three legs. It's taking ages to grow back, maybe time to start experimenting with lizard DNA. Or cybernetics. Will have to look into expanding my laboratory facilities over the zoo break.

Does it strike anyone else as odd that teacher aides, I mean assistant zookeepers share the same union as liquor traders?
