So, I have Coyote on google alert, and some big Basketball thing is coming. This means I get a lot of google alert emails about the Men's or Women's Coyotes, who are basketball players and therefore firmly outside my sphere of interest.

(Last year I had to add -hockey for this reason.)

But Google, those bastards, are TOYING WITH ME. Today I went in after getting the millionth basketball email and added -basketball to my alert. And went on with my day.

Google retaliated brilliantly, by sending me a second email alert for the day, which was all about Coyote Football.

GOOGLE! *fistshake* You may have won the battle but you will lose the coyote war!

PS: I am leaving this afternoon for Corporate Parts Unknown. Here Be Dragons And Crap Coffee. No Man's Filing Land. I will have the netbook but will be in transit and/or with my boss, and thus not handily available should emergencies occur. The last couple of times I left the internet alone to go camping, it imploded, so I wish you all the best of luck and advise you to buy canned goods.

What's weird is, if anyone else warned people about imploding internets happening while they're away, everyone (rightly) would say, "Yeah, sheesh, get over yourself!" But when you do it... *eyes pantry, inventories canned goods and candles*

honestly I am kind of torn between being afraid for the internets exploding and being excited to see what happens next. you can't deny that internet explosions rarely seriously hurt people and they can be awfully fun to watch as they burn.

If I don't get my internets, people get bruised.

There is a certain thrill. :D

I'm more worried about your office imploding/being invaded by coyotes. I swear to god I wouldn't be surprised if you came back to find one sitting in your chair, nomming your signplate.

You do have a signplate, do you?

Ladies and gentlebeings, we have discovered Sam in a previous life.

Safe journey, Sam.

We'll keep a light burning in the internet 'til you're back.

Go well! Be safe! Don't fall! Don't eat anything you can't identify, even on a dare!

Have a good time! Don't worry about us!

Is Sam gone yet?
