Partly Redundant, With a Chance of Grammatical Errors

I've written before about the DC Alert system. I just recieved the following text message and email alert from the DC's EMA that I had to share:

The Department of Defense,(DOD)will be beaming a white memorial light skyward in a vertical manner at the Pentagon on 2 successive full evenings from dark to dawn on September 10 and September 11th only during the hours of darkness.
Over the weekend DOD will be installing and testing the light beam so you may also see it then. EMA will continue to monitor.

Do they mean "dusk to dawn"? And doesn't that sort of include all of the "hours of darkness"? Can you beam a light skyward in a horizontal manner?

A former blogger informs me that, as he lives near the DC Jail, he has been the recipient of a special alert when they were testing the jail's siren that ended: "This is only a test?"

This sort of fun can be yours if you register for this service at https://textalert.ema.dc.gov/index.php.

Ring the Alarm

When I caught this video on NewNowNext I wondered why it was on that show. I just assumed that it was because Beyonce has a big gay following. But then I got to the end and saw her deconstructed twitches. It was then I realized that Miss Knowles must be learning new moves from drag queens.

Also, why is her album called B'Day? I realize it was released to coincide with her 25th birthday, buy wouldn't B-Day be more appropriate? Because whenever I read that title, I can't help but think of this.

Butterstick's Stuck

CNN.com - Transcripts

S. O'BRIEN: Some big baby news to tell you about out of Atlanta this morning. The zoo there is celebrating the arrival of its first panda cub. Listen.

Yes, that's squeaking. That's little Butterstick 2.0. Remember the first Butterstick (INAUDIBLE)?

M. O'BRIEN: Yes, we do. There you can actually get a pretty good view there.

S. O'BRIEN: Yes, you really see the mom. But the baby, she's moving her head. You can see the baby a little bit. The mother's name is Lun Lun. She was in labor for 35 hours. Bummer. That is the longest labor recorded for a panda. And as tradition goes, they're going to wait 100 days before they name the panda. I bet the zoo's going to have a big old contest for that.

M. O'BRIEN: Oh, yes. and in Atlanta, probably hi yall, you think that? Just a thought.

S. O'BRIEN: No.

M. O'BRIEN: No.

S. O'BRIEN: I'm sure it won't be. Of course, 100 days, that means they expect the baby's actually going to survive and it also apparently takes a while to figure out if it's a little female butterstick or a little male butterstick.

M. O'BRIEN: Or could it be margarine? You don't know.

S. O'BRIEN: Stop it, please.

Congratulations, Atlanta.

Ours is still cuter.

Gay Sheep to the Slaughter

I got an email from someone at PETA. I assumed they wanted me to pose nude for an ad campaign like other big stars who are vegetarians. Then I remembered I am neither a star nor a vegetarian.

She must have googled some combination of gay, sheep, and blog to find me. She wanted to bring something to my attention...
Out of the Closet: 'Gay Sheep' Experiments Exposed

I was wondering how the scientists figure out if a ram is gay. Does it involve a candy dish, Joan Crawford postcard, mascara, and some mineral water?
