Why Is the Rum Gone?

I admit the first thing that went through my mind when I saw Lisa Wheat's pictures over at Uncharted was this: Why is the rum gone.

Not knowing, of course, that one of the ships used in Disney's Pirates of the Carribean -- from whence the rum lines comes -- is docked permanently at Disney's own Castaway Cay in the Bahamas.

So now I want to go there. Sigh. Until that happens, I can just read Lisa's story here.

The Best Part

Kerplunk! by Patrick F. McManus

Admittedly, I myself was getting a little tired of the advances in technology. It used to be that all the different kinds of wackos sat out in their little isolated cabins or apartments somewhere. Each went through an entire lifetime without seeing another wacko of his particular ilk. Now a wacko can get on the Internet and find the other nine wackos in the world who are just like him.

McManus goes on to say they get to gether to decide what to blow up, but given the Unabomer lived in an isolated cabin as a Luddite and still managed to blow things up, there's a little flaw in McManus' logic. Nevertheless, I see where he's going with this.
