So I can't really put it off any longer. When Ross and Bronwen and Max all tell me to get my act in gear, I listen. Anyone would listen. That is like being told by God to Lay off the mini eggs. You lay off the mini eggs. You walk right past that delicious, delicious candy, and go back to Kit Kat or whatever. Because God Himself told you to do that. Of course, you wouldn't do it for anyone else. Unless it was Max Bronwen and Ross, obviously.

Anyway, sorry for the long delay. I've been entertaining guests for like the last three or four weeks, it seems. Then I got sick (again!) yesterday, so that day was a total write-off... Oh, and I also bought (and read) the entire His Dark Materials trilogy (Part 1 is The Golden Compass) ... they were awesome. Props to Kel for that one. Good call. I def. recommend them. But they are distracting, for sure. I finished the whole thing in about 4 days, so it was quite the blitz.

I found something that is kinda gross, but for some reason I wanted to show you... Oh yes... an article called Your meat isn't sick. It' just non-ambulatory. Which is a great title. It's an article about some video of someone who used a forklift to push a non-ambulatory cow into the "grinder" to make meat, or something. Needless to say, someone didn't think that was super cool. But my favorite part was (as it usually is) the comments. You have to really read through the whole thing to get the most effect, because there's just a few gems tucked in between tons of animal activist, vegetarian anger. Here are a few samples.

"how now down cow"

"If God didn't intend for them to be eaten, why would He make them out of meat?"

"I like chicken, I like liver, meow mix meow mix please deliver!"

"Where's the BEEF?"

"I love my steak. Mummmmm. I don't really care when it stops walking, as long as it can't moo when it gets to my plate. ..."

"In Iraq humans do things a lot worse to each other. Maybe the USDA can go to Iraq and inspect it."

Goddamn that Meow Mix one makes me laugh every time.

Here's a funny enough link from a friend who typically doesn't like to get credit for things he does: A GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC EXPRESSIONS USED IN EVERYDAY CONVERSATION

Here's a chess links for the cool ones among you: Every move explained - Spassky vs. Bronstein 1960 Soviet Championship

Here's one last link, that you might have seen before. Best. Asian girl T-shirt. Ever.

K, and on that note, this sick puppy has to hit the sack. To my numerous friends and family who I have been neglecting, I am sorry! Actually, it's my family that's been neglecting me on the electronic relationship front, but friends, yeah, sorry. I'll be better soon I promise.

Say my name,

Miotch!

Who can can you do? - Fran, 2008-02-20, 09:57:27 I kind of like this one "Humans are the sickest animals. Who can can they do this to others and call them self intelligent. "

Do we do the can-can? - Mitch, 2008-02-20, 10:25:57

marvellous - m, 2008-02-20, 20:39:59 you can get a cheeseburger in a can now.

non-ambulatory and George Orwell - MDP, 2008-02-21, 14:53:16 George Orwell wrote a brilliant essay entitled "Politics and The English Language" http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htm that I think paints a very good picture of what is going on behind calling cows "non-ambulatory." Written waaay back in 1946 that man continues to have a finger on the pulse of humanity.

Pass - Fran, 2008-02-24, 11:59:51 'Finger on the pulse of humanity' is fresh enough in my opinion.
