Now Marley, we’ve touched on all this before. That’s just one more symptom of the indefatigable love affair the British have with the French.

Last year I found out the hard way that one can’t take a position like “routine circumcision of infant males is genital mutilation” without attracting unwanted attention. I was so freaked out by the ensuing vicious personal attacks, in fact, that I promised myself that for the sake of my sanity and my son’s safety I’d never mention the issue publicly again.
But then something...
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was ZOMG...

Y’all know that during copulation the female BITES OFF AND EATS the male’s head, right? And that this happens not only because the female is hungry but because the male’s ejaculation is triggered by decapitation?
What in the actual fuck is that all about?
This, by the way, is why that old Chinese dude called David Carradine ‘Grasshopper’ all the time. He...

And me?
I’m thankful I have a huge-ass cast iron skillet in which I was able to roast my turkey neck and legs so the rest of the carcass didn’t have to get dried out and overcooked in the roasting pan.
And my dog. He’s cool.

I’m thankful my pimp developed carpal tunnel from brushing the chinchilla collar on his coat every night.
I’m thankful for my mint-flavored mouth dam.

Songs At Which I Excel In Karaoke

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover Metallica - The Call of Ktulu Rush - YYZ Led Zeppelin - Black Mountain Side Pink Floyd - Any Colour You Like The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness John Cage - 4’33”
I skimmed this list so fast I didn’t get the brilliance of the joke until 4’33”. Genius.
I just, finally, watched STAR TREK...
Well. That was a movie where people wore yellow, blue, and red uniform shirts.
It’s late and I have to get up in six hours or so to start the multi-hour cooking marathon so I’m not going to spend a lot of time criticizing, analyzing, and berating the movie. It’ll take me a while. I’ll just toss out two positive things (sadly, they may be the only positives) and one...

The road between LA and Phoenux is soooooo boring!
Sure. Until you hit Quartzite. Because that’s a crazy cosmopolis.

you know you want some.
I just squirmed uncomfortably at the thought. OH, you mean LONG underwear! I thought… nevvermind.
Smartwool merino wool t-shirts. I prefer the microweight shirts but I’m in PHX and don’t need much more than that. The tights, according to TheWife, suck.

Finally shaking my cranky mood and getting ready...
doublejack:
Riding down to Atascadero (near San Luis Obispo) for the first Thanksgiving with my parents in several years.
I’d hoped to get on the road by noon, but the mechanic who promised my bike would be read by “noon at the latest” called me at 1pm to say it’d be ready by 2pm.
Oh, and since it took him longer than expected it was $169 instead of $120.
That was on top of being fairly out...
Fisking the BCS Website →
Well, I’ve discovered my new calling: fisking everything on the BCS blog. The first entry is from the chancellor of the University of Nebraska. Enjoy.
Longish, but I totally recommend reading it if you have any interest in college athletics.
Then again, I’d probably just have focused on (read: laughed at uncontrollably) the following paragraph:

I don’t like to bake because American education failed me. How many cups in a pound? Wet? Dry? Fucking metric system. Pass the Tia Maria.
Yo. One’s a volumetric measurement and the other is a force (or weight @ sea level…sorry I’m a pedant) measurement. Conversion depends on what ingredient you’ve got.
The same problem would present itself if someone...
