Blab. Before 10 PM last night, a reader whose bedtime is dictated by mommy and daddy writes:
Well I'll be plurped...there's no plurp yet!
Actually, there will always be a Plurp. But, unlike England, it can be up late.

Blab. A reader quotes us. For some reason.

Rats? Why did it have to be rats?

"Dad would have never made it past the rats....he hates rats."

Oh Indy - you're so sexy.

Flattery will get you everywhere. Well, maybe not everywhere. Not Paris, for instance. Or Albuquerque.

Blab. A reader suggests an astonishing correlation.

Speaking of the slanted Enron E I thought Dell bought it. Have you seen their logo? Worldcom announced another 3.8B gone missing. Wonder how much they'll get for the Worldcom logo.

Blab. A reader calls its junkyard dog lawyer.

DorianConstructing the blue dog from seven dozen color printouts violates the patent held on the technology that created South Park characters. We request that you restrict your construction choices to an even prime number of components as the patent does not cover that case.

dorian

Our people will call your people names. Umkay?

ChrysalisBlab. A reader strung out on mind-altering drugs writes:

The floating furniture patent should keep John happy (providing they are filled with Helium.) - Morton
We wish Morton and John our best as they float off into the night sky, suspended beneath their large, blue, inflatable chairs.

Blab. Only one reader was brave enough to suggest a caption for our Wacky Plurp Image Reader Caption Contest. Whuzzamattahyou people anyhow? Cat got your fingers
 

Brooke Screen
Look Green
Caption:

They are all wide eyed.  I want to see their bushy tails.

Naughty reader! That is illegal in many parts of the world.

Blab. A Treasured Reader quotes from parts unknown.

Death with or without Dignity. How do we decide?"Attorney General Ashcroft is committed to confronting injustice by leading a professional Justice Department free from politics, defined by integrity and dedicated to upholding the rule of law. He will make certain that the Justice Department fulfills its promise and honors its heritage-not only by enforcing the rule of law, but by guaranteeing rights for the advancement of all Americans. "

"The misuse of language induces evil in the soul." - Socrates.

And apparently in one's government also.

-AJL

We feel certain that Mr. Asscroft will write a country-western song on this topic. And when he does, we will be happy to feature it here on Plurp. We consider it our patriotic doody.

Blab. A Chinese spammist sends us a nearly indecipherable spam, except for including this picture ...

It's ... it's ... green !

... and pointing to this Web site. We still don't know what the green stuff is. We're pretty sure we don't want to know.

Blab. A reader gesunds:

sekusutomo
Gesundheit! And you should know better than that, having casual and unprotected sex with multiple partners. You'll catch your death.

Plurp. Now, let's see. Who would possibly coin the phrase a distinctly American internationalism?Violent pacifist

Or how about convincing or compelling states to accept their sovereign responsibilities?

Hmm.

Let's see. Uh ...

Gosh, we can't think of anyone.

Plurp. Speaking of which, go read the full text of Dubya's national security strategy document. (It's long. Take the time. It's important. PDF version available here.) First lick policyWe're not sure when the U.S. last had a shift in its strategic relationship with the rest of the world that was this huge. Not in our lifetime, that's for sure.

We wish we were smart enough to understand the implications of these massive changes over the next several years and decades. We know we're not. And we know a few other people who aren't.

Yo. So if you're the evil dictator of a rogue state, and the U.S. is threatening to attack you and blow you up and throw you out of power and stuff, whatever can you do to prevent it?

According to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, the answer is, Get yourself a nuclear weapon.

So nice of Donny to let Saddam know, isn't it?

Plop. Those wacky Greeks! As noted earlier, they really did ban computer games. Now they're arresting people.

Greek police have been accused of using "Taleban tactics" after a fresh wave of arrests under a controversial law banning all forms of computer games closed down internet cafes around the country.

Four arrests were made in the northern town of Serres, another in the central Greek city of Larissa and a sixth in Orestiada. 

In each case, computers were seized and impounded as evidence of criminal activity. More arrests are expected. 

Aren't they funny?

You're under arrest !

Yow. Speaking of funny, who else would have thought of a Cenobite game show? We are consumed with unendurable laughter.

(And yes, the Tribute to Ray Harryhausen is pretty darn funny too. We're not sure which is funnier, though, the premise or the language.)

Plurp. Who knew there were lesbian horses, anyway? (rebecca)

Our readerBlab. Anticipating today's Plurp contest, a reader from the future suggests:
She's got Freddy Davis Pies!
Does she?

Blab. A Treasured Reader reacts to the recent and disturbing trend of feline appearances here on Plurp.

Hi Captain Plurp,

Is Christopher looking for a challenging job opportunity in sunny Southern California? I understand he'll have an edge on the competition if he is a strong swimmer. And his recent rabbit experience may be a real plus. If he's interested, I understand he should contact 1-800-EAT-RATS.

Your Midwest Correspondent

We appreciate our Midwest Correspondent's image of Him Whose Name eating rats. Given his finnicky eating behavior, we can only imagine him starving to death in a room full of rats, holding out instead for stinky tuna.

But - oh - we're off in reverie again!

Rats. Why did it have to be rats?"Beverly Hills is a nice place to be a rat," Ray Honda explained, admiring the cool, verdant landscape of the moneyed class, with its fruit trees, bird feeders, swimming pools and dog-food bowls. "It's a very good address."

Mr. Honda, a Los Angeles County health inspector whose speech and demeanor bring Peter Lorre to mind, was quick to append, "the four-legged kind," adding: "More rats than people, probably. And when they get really bad you can smell them."

The rats or the people? We're so confused!

Blab. A reader sends us an enigmatic number.

21
Yeah, so, the image of some actor on Smallville is thereby rendered on that number of 8.5"x11" pieces of ever-so-analog paper, which you can then tape together into one very large image of said actor. If you want. If you care. Can we see a show of hands on this?

(Make sure you read all of the reader comments.)

Blab. Another reader (at least, we hope it's another reader) frets about something completely different.

How come these guys haven't won a Latin Grammy yet? Surely they must have a "Gravis Metallum" catagory.
We blame it on their appearance in Plurp earlier this year.

Blab. Seeing us desperate, yesterday, for a blue dog t-shirt, our readers come through. As usual.

Here you go, a blue dog t-shirt
Right. There is a wonderful ambiguity of reference in English grammar. Our Treasured Reader engages in projectile ambiguity. Splotch!

Blab. An especially Treasured Reader provides all of the relevant links.

here's the blue dog book. also BlueDogStuff (not affiliated with the artist Rodrigue) and, the original and best.

your blue watchdog, 

Kafkaesque 

Just look at all those swarming copyright restrictions! We fear being stung.

Blab. A reader who should have read the previous entry instead writes:

Why don't you make some Blue Dog T-shirts and sell them? Check out www.cafepress.com.  You can make 'em and they'll sell 'em, and you get money.  Money is a good thing.
Dear reader. Dear reader. You can get immediate access to an entire line of blue dog intimate wear by first purchasing any item of Plurpwear.

Blab. A reader suggests that we, like, read things.

Good essay about the present war. Even if you disagree with him, it's good for deciding in your mind exactly why.
Yeah, OK, whatever. It was too long for us to follow.

Blab. One of our most obsessive-compulsive readers writes:

You and Ashcroft - leave Martha alone! 
When the world is freed of cake decoration as an organizational paradigm, we will sleep the sleep of the contented.

Blab. A reader insists that we investigate an inverse link.

Buridan's Ass 
Fine.

Blab. On the topic of recent searches to our unworthy Web site, a reader expresses an opinion.

"Yoda naked pictures"??  That's disgusting. 
Well, we haven't actually seen them ourself, so we couldn't say.

Blab. A reader gets all worked up about stuff.

"If the words are wrong, people will be misled, disappointed, infuriated."

Uh-oh! 

And we treasure that.

Blab. A reader suffering a guilt complex writes:

It wasn't me.

Just wanted to be clear about that.

L.

Right. We will deal with you later.

Plurp.

I don' go Raleigh.
We learn from our cab driver (from Ghana) tonight that this means, in the pidgin of his compatriots:
I am coming from Raleigh.
And indeed we are, after three days of meetings in North Carolina (or, at least, that's where they said we were - it looked like the inside of an airplane, the inside of a motel room and the inside of an IBM site, just like everywhere else in the world), back.

We like being back.

Yo.

The head of the Iowa office of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms was charged with public intoxication and was being investigated on allegations that he threatened some teenagers with a loaded gun.
But was he smoking?

Yo. Silly patents. For you silly patent fetishists. And you know who you are. You do.

Yo.

Some call me ... Tim.That's the most foul,
cruel,
and bad-tempered rodent
you ever set eyes on!

Yow. Here's an idea! Remember those noxious folks who were violating the artistic rights of movie makers by editing out things they didn't like, like sex and violence, and then reselling the edited versions? What swine.

But now the movie makers suggest another possibility: third parties that add more sex and violence to movies that are too tame for a certain audience.

Now you're talking!

Yo. Not less sex, MoSex.

Yo. Not less violence, more violence. As in Snow White and the Seven Shao Lin. No, really. Weirdest dang thing we've ever seen.

Yak.

You go beddy-bye night-night?

I go online go Plurp-Plurp.

[typing]

You can't write that. We're adults.

OK. [typing anyway]

My life is on Plurp!

Think of yourself as Alison Stern.

On the stupid scale, this one goes to eleven.Plop. It may seem odd for us to criticize the bad taste and insensitivity of others. After all!

But the idiots at Rockerfeller Center who commissioned a sculpture of a falling woman to commemorate those who jumped to their deaths from the WTC on 9-11? They take several cakes. Doncha think?

Plop. Are you a programmer? Do you surf the Web? Have you ever come across, oh, say, information? Then you're under arrest.

Police said Azam was suspected of "collecting information of a kind likely to be useful to Islamic fundamentalists committing or preparing an act of terrorism, or had documents or records containing information of that kind".
Can someone explain this crime to us? 'Cause we're, like, too stupid to understand it.

Meanwhile, we're erasing our IE cache. Hey - you never know.

Plurp. Last October, we said that the U.S. military action in Afghanistan was the beginning of WW III. Some of you wondered if we had lost our hubcaps. It's just a little bombing in another third-world country, you figured.

In case it isn't yet obvious, that's not the case, as scary Donald Rumsfeld will tell you, in this impressive, run-on sentence.

Iraq is not separate from the global war on terrorism, it is part of it, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told the Senate Armed Services Committee today. 
Think of Iraq as the next skirmish. A really big skirmish, we grant you, against a determined adversary who has both chemical and biological weapons and the means to deliver them. But a skirmish. And not the last one.

Yo. Interesting NYT editorial on the new head of the ACLU, who took his job on Sept. 5, 2001.

It was an A.C.L.U. lawsuit that led to a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling last month that the Bush administration could not routinely conduct deportation hearings in secret.

"Democracies die behind closed doors," said Judge Damon Keith, who wrote the opinion for the three-judge panel.

In another case in which the A.C.L.U. participated, a federal district judge in Washington ruled that the names of detainees suspected of immigration violations had to be made public. "Secret arrests," wrote Judge Gladys Kessler, "are a concept odious to a democratic society."

So, there's hope.

Yo. Wanna buy Enron? You can. Or, rather, you can buy just about everything that Enron ever owned Soon this will be ours !at an online auction next Wednesday and Thursday.

We've got our eye on that big Enron corporate E logo. We think it would make a nice coffee table.

Yow. OK, here's the deal. Having invented it, and having seen it catch on in another blog, and anticipating that it will become a World-Wide Phenomenon, and get displayed on the cover of Time Magazine, we feel compelled to invent a terribly catchy term for it:

Google SpewingTM!
This is, of course, the practice, on your Web site, of giving a link to Google. When you click on the link, you get a Google search result page that is specific to a certain, predetermined site. When clicking on a link on that result page, you generate a hit to the predetermined site with a predetermined search string. This causes an entry in the predetermined sites's server logs, coming from Google, with the predetermined (and, as the art form would have it) odd search string.

Wow. What are we talking about? (Yes, we've been doing patents this week. Sorry.) Let's look at some examples.

Let's Google Spew our dear friend leuschke with the search string terrorist plot. (Mr. Asscroft - are you reading this?) To do so, we give this link.

Or if we wanted to Google Spew our dear friend John Asscroft with the search strings violence, outside the protection of the law and criminal misuse, we would give this link.

So, see? Readers clicking on our links, then clicking on the Google links that these generate, get to Dr. Leuschke's site (or doubleplusgood Asscroft's site) on a page that contains those terms. And the point is: Your clicking generates a record in Dr Leuschke's (or Herr Asscroft's) server log, indicating that somebody found their site from Google, looking for that particular search string.

And, if they are compulsive server log spelunkers (or if, as is likely the case with Imperial Wizard Asscroft, they have vast staffs and massive computers to do it), they end up with a puzzle to go solve.

(Did that make any sense?)

Get it? Ain't this fun? Please do tell Time Magazine. And mention our URL.

Yow. It's that time of year again. Yep, it's Wacky Plurp Image Reader Caption Contest time. (We were never good at catchy names.) So you should, uh, ...

MiaBlab. Somehow, almost miraculously, a reader finds Mia.

Mia is kind young girl, with healing powers. Every winter, Mia takes care of the northern town of Imil. Mia is also part of the Mercury Clan, and protecter of the Mercury lighthouse. Mia has the second most PP and second least HP.
Use Mia wisely and you should have no problem at all defeating Saturos and Menardi.

Blab. Another reader reveals its fetishes.

I want a blue dog t-shirt
It's good to want things.

If our Treasured Readers know where to find such a thing, they should tell us. We love pandering to our readers' fetishes.

Blab. Speaking of fetishes ...

If Quorn Curry is not your vat of fungus, then how about a nice, juicy Beet Burger?
That's disgusting!

Blab. Let's review. Yesterday, a reader insisted that we talk to Christopher and rabbits. Back to the days of Christopher Rabbit and Pooh, we said. Today:

Christopher Rabbit? thought it was Christopher Robin
Uh, that's correct.

Do try.

Blab. A reader who knows, warns us.

Dear Steve 

Never Never Never believe any black and white reasonably small furry thing that looks like that thing in your pictures that claims it won't bite.  NEVER.  It will. And it will enjoy it SOOOO much. If you want less pain and fewer bites get a sewing machine.

One Who Knows

Actually, our reasonably small shedding thing is gray and white. We had a black and white thing a few years back. Shedding: Less is more.That particular hellspawn put Helen's mother in the hospital, and regularly ripped us to shreds.

Our current theory is that diluting the black down to gray also dilutes the demonic tendencies.

Our next beastie will be pure white. And hairless.

Blab. It's Beast Day here on Plurp.

Looks like Him Whose Name Must Never Be Spoken is putting on some serious weight.
The alternative is that he sheds it or excretes it. We consider ourself fortunate.

Yo. Top search strings in our own gleaming chromium search engine this past week?

Yow. Rosie, the (analog) magazine whose identity is based entirely on the fame of comedian Rosie O'Donnell, is ceasing publication. One can only hope that Oprah and Martha are close behind.

Note to prospective magazine creators: Have something valuable to say.

Blab. One of our many obsessive-compulsive copy-editing readers writes:
If this were a Web page, wouldn't it be trying to sell you something ? Or trying to tell you all sorts of boring and _idiosynchratic_ things about its creators?
Like, say, they can't spell worth beans?

We thank our obsessive reader, and to allow us both to sleep at night, we have corrected this errant letterage.

Blab. A reader has evolutionary aspirations.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle...
And you'll let us know when? Excellent.

Blab. A VISA employee named Helen writes:

Steve,

You must be mistaken.  We never ordered a chafing dish for anyone we know........ You had better check your VISA bill.

Helen 

Funny. It looks like a chafing dish to us.

Blab. Of concern is that Him Whose Name Emerged From Giant Barrels of Fungus seems to have developed typing skills.

Trust me

Steve,

Come home.......all is forgiven.  I promise I won't bite.

Christopher

Seymour suggests that this may not be entirely true.

Blab. Of even greater concern is the discovery of a gibbering reader in our Blab box.

Yog-Sothoth! N'gai! Ph-nglui mglw'nafh Mia R'lyeh plurp wgah'nagl fhtagn!
A translation can be gleaned from  various arcane and forbidden sources of ancient evils.
Yog-Sothoth! In the woods! In her house in R'lyeh dead Mia waits dreaming of Plurp!!
We recoil in terror at the implications of these eldritch syllables.

Blab. Taco Bell is still open late. At least, that's what this reader believes.

Tacos are good.  But where are they? Can't seem to find any. 
Tacos do not exist. They are a residue of the dreams we have implanted in your mind. We are working on this problem, and we are confident that will produce taco-free dreams in the near future.

Blab. Another reader exposes its raw desires.

I want naked pictures of me
Done. Check your mail.

Blab. A reader insists that we ...

Ask Christopher about rabbits.  OOPS!  They're gone.  Or eaten.  ummmmmmm
Back to the days of Christopher Rabbit and Pooh ...

Blab. A reader sends us an unreferenced, dependent phrase.

Or Steve can be terrified by his wife who is tooo far away.
Steve is always terrified by his wife.

Blab. A reader gives the rest of you useful advice.

there is no quality here. Look elsewhere.
You have zero quality anyway. Get over it.

Blab. On the Hannibal Lechter Fondue issue, a reader writes:

oooooooo. Fondue.  phhhuuutttt.
Briefly, we wondered what our reader was spitting out. Then we decided to think about something else.

Blab. On the subject of giant barrels of fungus (and we seem always to be talking about that this week, don't we), a reader writes:

What's this Quorn Quap!?
We're not familiar with Quorn Quap. Perhaps you're thinking of Mary or Curt Quap?

Plurp. And now, we reap the fruits of another interminable all-day meeting.

Right out of the bat

Yo. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Coming soon to a theater near you.

Yo. A couple of weeks ago, a new resident appeared spontaneously in our apartment. It is a small, pink and white creature named Seymour. Him Whose Name Topples Vases seems to have become fast friends with Seymour. They are seldom apart, and have been heard roughhousing at the end of the bed around 3 AM.

Thus checkmated, the detained reader confesses its real intent.

I hate rabbits!
Just the waskally ones, or all of them?

Blab. Did you hear the news today?

Students at Yale today staged a protest of the fact that it's Monday and there's still no Monday plurp to read. According to Pentagon sources, Steve White is either a) a famous government official or b) being investigated by terrorists.

You decide.

Can we be terrified by government officials? That seems more likely.

Blab. In other news ...

Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is my Fiance's Brother's Girlfriend's Third Cousin 
So is Madame Antionette. Neither of them have been indefinitely detained. So everything's find.

Blab. Speaking for herself, the lady says:

Qu'ils mangent de la brioche - Mme. Antionette
Madame Antionette is, of course, reminding us to beware the magnetic quills in our bread. Very dangerous.

Blab. Subtly poking fun at us, a reader writes:

Apropos of nothing, other than sharing a wonderful taunt... The world needs more work of this quality. 

You wouldn't recognize reason if it were wearing a Captain Reason suit, jumping up and down on a harpsichord, and singing "Reasoning days are here again" while completing logic puzzles.

Blab. Keeping up with all of the crucial current events, a reader writes:
Speaking of a giant barrel of fungus...

(Were the people who named this product also the ones who came up with the name Soylent?) 

The miracles of modern food technology!
Quorn™ foods are made with mycoprotein, a protein in the fungi family, similar to truffles, morels and mushrooms. Mycoprotein for Quorn™ foods is grown using a controlled fermentation process so that it can be harvested consistently. In addition to mycoprotein, other familiar ingredients such as vegetable flavorings and a small amount of egg white are used to prepare Quorn™ foods giving them their meat-like texture and delicious taste.
Yum.

Plop. Last night, Him Whose Name Was Fermented In Giant Barrels decided it would be a dandy idea to dump the vase over on the dining room table, eat the roses, then leap on top of our feet at dawn. Shortly thereafter, we decided it would be a dandy idea to grind him into small, hairy pieces and use them to fertilize the marigolds.

Currently, only one of these plans has been executed.

Planning

Yo. And then, for no particular reason, we were no longer on the Google list of places to get information about Simonya Popova. (Readers who are less drugged out than usual might remember that we were #1 (and # 2) on Google just last Friday.)

Not just dropped to #3, but dropped altogether. Not even on the list. Anywhere.

We smell conspiracy! Frankly, we suspect Paul Ford.

Plop. Did you think that mess with priestly pedophiles was all cleared up? Wrong.

Parishioners are rallying behind accused priests. Clergy are suing alleged victims and complaining to the Vatican. Experts in church law are questioning whether the plan violates priests' rights. [...]

"It is unraveling," said the Rev. Richard McBrien, a liberal theologian from the University of Notre Dame. 

What's the expression for, Be patient? Is it, Keep your pants on?

Plop.

PlopWhile most of us cherish our time in the great outdoors, certain conveniences are welcome improvements inside. Master woodcrafter Don Mintz salutes domestic progress in an imaginative way. He's created real "furniture" for the bathroom. Our Moose Seat and Cover are carpentered of 3/4"-thick white oak individually handcarved and handpainted with a handsome moose head on top, then handfinished to a warm luster. Hinge fittings are solid brass. Handcrafted in USA.
