From Brigid's Home on the Range

Her writing usually waxes poetic, triggering melancholy memories and tempering them with a beautiful philosophy of life and an appreciation for all the glory that surrounds us. She draws upon her incredible range of experience and talents to add something worth pondering to every day. For variety, you get some incredibly knowledgeable commentary and reviews on guns and shooting tempered with some military history or possibly some great flying stories and a couple of times a week some food porn photos and to-die-for recipes.

But today she goes all Iowahawk on me with an email disclaimer that absolutely must be appended to everything you are tempted to send out lest you be sentenced to a life of penal servitude for failure to disclose the danger and possibly threatening the safety and well-being of the children, working poor and unfortunates of the world:

IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is of a sensitive top secret nature, or classified, or not in any way to be read by persons with no sense of humor, low pain thresholds or religious beliefs that involve aliens or large numbers of virgins (void in New Jersey). We take no responsibility for non-receipt of this email because you are still running Windows NT as everyone knows how well that worked out. If you received this email in error, even if it is addressed to you, forwarding of this email is not authorized, (either explicitly or implicitly) and constitutes a possible breach of Al Gore Internet law or a disabling social blunder. Any sentences involving the name "Charlie Sheen" were inserted in error and are to be ignored. No animals were harmed in the transmission of this email, although the yappy dog next door is on borrowed time. Be advised that there are no hidden codes or messages contained herein, however that contrail of Acme Airways Flight 102 that goes over your house at 2 PM each day is giving your neighbor the directions to the Mother Ship. Reading this message backwards will only give you a headache but if you listen to Abby Road backwards you will hear "Paul is Dead". So just ignore that warning box from SpySweeper. If if makes you feel better, pour a circle of salt around your chair, wave your hand over your computer and solemnly mutter "OMNI OMNI VOR" (Latin is allowed) and with that blessing, you should be safe from Malware.

Consider yourself warned!

She's a true artisan with words and photos and a bona-fide treasure of the internet.

And her cookies are worth killing or dying for.

:) Her 'Latin' needs a little upgrade from 1950s navaids, though . . .

One of the commentors on her blog noted that rather than "omni, omni, VOR" he had been very successful using "Loran, Loran, NOTAM, TACAN" as the incantation.
