Currently blogging from an undisclosed location. I am in somebody elses office, the occupant is on vacation so they set me up in here to check email, do work, goof off. She has some nice pens so I have to take one. Let that be a lesson to you, if you go [...]

I don’t watch American Idol (and I am not watching it right now, but I really like the girl with the big afro, not that I’ve seen the show or anything, and Bo, if I had been watching the show I would probably like Bo also, but like I said I’ve never seen the show) [...]

Rechristening of the blog.
Filed Under General | Leave a Comment
The Captain’s Blog v2.0 is now known as The Platypus Society. Now I realize what a headache it will be to go through all the directories and update the name, plus contacting everyone who linked to me, but damn the torpedoes, I’m changing the name.

I found an advert for the Roller Cycle at some random blog, I can’t remember where I saw it so linkbacks be damned.
Question that comes to mind. Let’s say your rolling along at, say 25 mph, and oh I dunno, you hit a hole while offroading your roller cycle and take a major faceplant [...]
