Wednesday: Technically, it’s a Ferret

That, my friends, is the best line from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which you can see here in stunningly low quality:

Or you can just do what I did and buy it at Target for nine bucks.  Your choice.  So anyway, nothing big really happened today, so I don’t really have a subject for tonight at all.  So let’s try a stream of consciousness (warning, this might get either very boring, offensive, or both).

So of that’s technically a ferret, what is it actually?  Is there a difference between what’s technical and what’s actual, or are they both the same and do people just think they sound more believable when they say ‘technical?’  I mean really, what is the point with technicalities anyway.  The only place where technicalities actually matter are in court… which really is false in itself.  If you have a jury, and someone has evidence that can’t be shown because of a technicality, do you really think those 12 people are going to completely ignore that piece of possible damning evidence?  Sometimes people act like other people are machines, saying ‘technically’ this and ‘technically’ that.  Well technically, technically has no bearing on the actual world.  Well technically, that gunshot didn’t kill him.  The fall from the roof did.  Well yeah, no duh.  You’re still going to prison for murder my friend.  Technically I didn’t take your yogurt from the fridge, my hand did.  That’s funny, because right now there’s a nice big glob of yogurt making its way down your shirt.  I don’t think your hand put it there.  Technically, it’s a ferret.  Really, because last time I looked that was a blond kid in a cloak.

Ok.  I’m done.  That was kind of weird, just typing whatever comes to mind.  I don’t know how I got from ferrets to yogurt and back to ferrets, while passing juries along the way.  I’m sorry if that was boring, but it shouldn’t have been offensive (unless you’re either a criminal or a glob of yogurt), and I think it’s time for the song.

SONG OF THE DAY: HOTEL CALIFORNIA

 

This is one of the classics, and I think is on some lists as one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time.  I like it.  I don’t see why you shouldn’t, unless you’re Anthony and listen to a band that’s really just a bunch of high-voiced geeky guys with too much time on their hands.
