Oh Ho, What Fun We Shall Have, Ripping You to Shreds

Someone recently joined the Pagan forum I'm on. Seems relatively harmless, if a tad bit eccentric. Very poor grammar & spelling. Seems like they may be from another country. Apparently they wear their robes & cloak in public. Ok, fine, whatever. Other people think he's a troll, which he may very well be, and if revealed as such he will be ridiculed within inches of his e-peen's life. He may just be living in a delusional little fantasy world, in which case we will seriously hurt his itty bitties and leave him with the overall impression that Pagans are bad nasty people.

In a thread about 'dark deities', this person mentioned a few familiar Gods... and the goa'uld. For once, Rob's incessant t.v. watching paid off and I knew right away the pop reference for a goa'uld. It's the bad guys on Stargate: SG-1. Now, granted, I am not omniscient and there may be a historical entity known as a goa'uld. SG-1 did that with the other races, using God names from history for their aliens, which is part of why I was never a big fan of the show. Maybe there's a historical goa'uld reference & it's like the lamishtu, or a were-being of some sort. Maybe it's a malevolent faery. Fucked if I know.

I might have missed that particular word if I'd done what I normally do & skimmed the post, but other people broadcasting their troll-detection alerts made me read a little more carefully. Instead, I hopped right on there and asked, "Who, or what, is this goa'uld of which you speak?"

Yeah, this is what my life has become. Feeding trolls on teh internets. Thinking about taking some travel agent classes over the next year or so, expand my marketability once again. Of course, with expedia.com it's already obsolete, but big corporations still need travel agents to use expedia.com & the ilk.

Edited to add: Someone else stepped in my damn troll-trap. Freaking clueless Buddhist. AAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!

Stoned Dog is Stoned

Chelsie had to get her bordatella booster & heartworm check today. She gets a mild reaction to the bordatella vaccine - lethargy, listlessness, some wheezing & a runny nose. The vaccines always whup her butt. She is not feeling hot at all. I gave her some children's Benadryl a little bit ago and now she is extremely stoned.

The vet said a single child's dose of Benadryl wouldn't help her at all at her weight, but I would rather err on the side of caution - and guess what, doc? A single spoon of children's Benadryl has cleared up the wheezing & runny nose - but her pupils are pinholes & she is randomly waving her paw at various things that only she can see. She should be back to normal tomorrow.

In the meantime, I am letting her lay on my bed w/her chewy.
