I got attacked by one once when I was walking home pissed up, it was pretty dark and it was in a hedge so I didn't see it. I think it'd been run over or something, it was already covered in blood and feebly (although still quite strongly) sank its teeth and claws into the bottom of my jeans and my leg.
Fortunately I had a knife on me so I was able to put it out of its misery. Quite sad though, I like badgers.
I ran one over once as well (different badger to this one!), looked in the rear view mirror and saw it ambling off to the side of the road looking pretty unconcerned. You should've seen the dent it put in the front sub frame!

I have no shame in absolutely caning it in front of colleagues. Which will lead to a hangover and it will lead to another night of not getting to bed before 1am.

Assuming you mean XP, if there is only one user and no password defined for them you will not see the logon screen, it will go straight into Windows when you boot. But only if you're using this sort of logon screen.
If you've got the classic logon prompt like this (quite likely if the computers have been part of a network) then you will still see it even when there's only one user, with no password.
So you need to set it back to the default XP 'my first logon screen', I can't remember how to do this though and can't see any of the relevant options on this PC since I'm part of a domain. If you're running XP Pro I think you can do it through the group policy editor. It should also be in Control Panel/User Accounts but my User Accounts page looks completely different and the only way I could get back to the default one would be by leaving the domain, which would be a pain in the arse...

Red Meat, it uses cut-and-paste a lot to cut down on the artwork. A friend copied a lot of the images and wrote a site to allow you to make your own Red Meat comics.
Ideal for me because I cannot draw at all. Plus it's necessarily a very structured format - three panels, one or two characters per panel, who can only say one thing per panel. So you have to really think to turn an idea into a comic. I've got a load I've done over the years, almost all original gags.
So it's about a bunch of disturbed people who live in a disturbed town, hopefully a lot like the Red Meat strips linked above but also with a lot of me in them.
