I've not had an Internet connection today. I'd like the drama of blaming it on Ernesto, but since he's off menacing North Carolina at the moment, I'll have to settle with a more prosaic answer: my house was hit by an Israeli drone/missile. I've snapped a picture of the hole it put in the side of my house:
It flew from room to room frying all the electrical circuitry in its path -- its wind current alone messed up the starburst pattern I'd vacuumed into the livingroom carpet.
I'm sad to report my dog's lost one of her legs.
I don't know why the Israelis targeted me (Does anyone ever?), but I've new-found respect for what their drone/missile thingies can do.
And the Jews owe me a dog leg.
Posted by floridacracker at August 31, 2006 06:02 PMJust like a joo-missile to do a bunch of drunken scratching around the target before delivering its disproportionate death strike.
Posted by: marc at August 31, 2006 06:41 PMThat's either missile-fin damage or something inflicted by that damn twirly drone. Or both.

Posted by: Gel Mibson at August 31, 2006 08:44 PMCoincidence alone can't explain this. I found an almost identical hole in my apartment door today. I know for a fact the cause was a Magic JudenMissile, since my last bagel is missing from the kitchen -- which I certainly didn't eat this morning as part of a light breakfast, washed down with a cup of coffee.
They did, however, taunt me by leaving 1/3 of a tub of lo-fat cream cheese in my refrigerator. As proof, the fridge was almost completely unexploded. Thankfully, the Cheerios emerged unscathed.
(Mr. Mibson -- sorry to hear about your prostate. Bummer.)

Posted by: Donnah at August 31, 2006 09:51 PMHeartache?! Don't tell me you also found a brand-new stuffed animal/small toddler's toy, with the price tag still attached, as well?
Monsters!

And you and yours have a great Labor Day weekend, ya heah.
Posted by: trambo at September 1, 2006 12:17 AMOy Vey! The missle, it was intended for 'others' and apparently strayed far from its original course no?
or not ;p
Have a great weekend.
