    Jeff Renner, badass weatherman!

We now turn to that most engaging of banalities, the weather! Here with us is andr00:

Hi andr00, it looks like we've got some sun, moisture, and air, which are all obvious signs of weather. Some of the moisture is going up and down through the air, and I guess you'd call that precipitation. And evaporation. We haven't seen this much precipitation here in Seattle for months, it seems! Back to you, andr00.

Thanks, andr00. Yes, the weather has indeed been almost annoyingly good. All that sunshine and warmth. Makes a man sick, you know what I mean? Barf! Puke! And it sure looks like more disgusting sunshine and low humidity tomorrow.

Oh, look who thinks he's a meteorologist now! But you're right, andr00, chance of precipitation is under 20%. Look at these maps. You call this a low pressure system? And our landscape isn't exactly bringing it down either. I cause more adiabatic cooling when I turn on the kitchen vent! Lousy Cascades.

That does it for the weather. Next up: Sports!! Over to you, andr00.

Thanks. Well, it looks like professional sports are still stupid. Here we see the Seattle Whatever they are, losing. Or maybe they're winning. What difference does it make? They're a corporation owned drain on public resources that does nothing but distract everyone from the boredom of their own clamorous inactivity. And run around with balls. Yes, sometimes the ball running is amusing. Let us all clap our hands for the game players. Clap.

That was awful, andr00. You're fired. Finally, in local news: a heartwarming tale of sitting around the house and drinking coffee!

Ok, ok. Actually I haven't just been sitting around. I went to Mt. St. Helens last week, and it's like looking straight down the barrel of Mother Earth.


Hanging out with the Helens

On the way to Mt. St. Helens, we passed a driveway bracketed by the biggest ceramic/glass insulators I've ever seen away from high tension powerlines. Made into lamps. With American flags stuck in them.


Bob Dole is an enemy of the Daleks!


Ex-ter-mi-nate!
