I'd be up for that Tony

How have I not seen this before?

So, who can I persuade to join me to see the FemBots when they're in town on the 25th? (I think they're playing at the Pawn Shop or something.)

FemBots - Count Down Our Days

How Is A Grāpple® Brand Apple Made?

Grāpple® brand apples begin either as Washington Extra Fancy Gala or Fuji Apples, depending upon the season. These "premium apples" are the ones that take on the grape flavor best. This Patent Pending process is complex and the ingredient mix primarily includes concentrated grape flavor and pure water. All ingredients are USDA and FDA approved and the process has been licensed by the Washington State Department of Agriculture.

There is nothing but flavor being infused into the apple. A relaxing bathing process prepares our apples for you or your kids. The apple takes on no additional sugars or calories. They are not genetically altered in any way. The apple is as healthy as ever but now has the new exciting grape flavor.

Is anyone else that watched the oilers game last night also gritting their teeth everytime you hear the name "glencross"?

I never read "The Secret", but I bet it says that if you can imagine someone being dumb enough to do something, it will happen. I recently was in a car with GPS navigation, and thought, "wow, this could cause some serious problems if you were really dumb." Well...

I think the funniest part is how polite and understanding the cop seems to be.

If the movie could be compared to an author's writing I'm pretty sure Mr Ed Woods would win the first prize for a "Bad Writing Competition".

Nothing is more discouraging than looking up the author whose work you are about to read and finding this:

"Bhabha has been criticized for using indecipherable jargon and dense prose. In 1998 the journal Philosophy and Literature awarded Bhabha second prize in its "Bad Writing Competition,"[5] which "celebrates bad writing from the most stylistically lamentable passages found in scholarly books and articles." Bhabha was awarded the prize for a sentence in his The Location of Culture (Routledge, 1994). . . "

Unless it is 10:25 pm the night before the chapters need to be read and you realize that the prize was indeed awarded for the exact book you are about to read a part of.

Fuck. Hope you're all enjoying bad movie night.

No kidding, Al. How about this? (The second video in this post)

She has been a mayor, she's been overseer of billions - I don't know how many billions of dollars of natural resources, she's been a member of the PTA, she's been a governor, she's been a mayor . . .

It's like a carwreck, you just can't look away.
