Shhh!! The badgers will hear you...

I seem to have a preoccupation with badgers for filling the awkward spaces in conversations. I fix computers for a living, and people are always asking you about random crap when you're in the middle of fixing it. "What's that?" "Could it be from this?" "Have you tried clicking on it?" "Why isn't it working?" I have taken to responding to questions like this with something along the lines of "I blame badgers." Or if there is a pregnant pause in a conversation I might say "The badgers are coming!" If someone is explaining something to me, and I don't have anything to say I'll ask "Well, that's all fine, but what about the badgers?" I've never seen a badger in real life, but whenever I see them on TV, they look grumpy.

I had a badger once, it was wierd. If you're allowed to listen to music at worka nd enjoy indie rockish stuff off all sorts go to woxy.com and check it out. Or look them up as 97X on winamp radio or woxy.com on iTunes radio. They're my super favorite!
