Silliness

Our Bacon
Who art in heaven
Smoked be thy Name
Thine order come
Thine will be well-done
On earth as it is
In Memphis
Give us this day our daily slab
And lead us not into vegetarianism
But deliver us more bacon
For swine is the skillet, the flavor, and the pork belly
Forever and ever
HAM-en.

A few of us made this up a while back, and I just found it on my hard drive.

Texting With My Brother

Last night The Rudies opened for The (English) Beat, and during their set I sent a text message to the older of my older brothers, the one whose utter coolness, along with early MTV, helped mold my musical tastes.

Me: We are about to see the english beat. Wish you were here..

Nate: Can u save it for later?

Me: Lol. Don't think so. I just can't stop it.

Nate: Roger. It ranks right up there. Specially when im wakeling up.

Me: Every saturday when you're window shopping? By the way, have you met jeannette? 

OK, so maybe he and I found it funny, and you don't or won't. But if you are a fan of the Beat, I hope you'll get a chuckle out of it.

One Reason I Love The French

The best thing about this video might be the fact that it's one continuous shot. One. Shot. Chapeau, les gars, chapeau.

And the boys in the game room? I taught them. Not them, but boys who looked just like that at the IUT and ESC of La Rochelle. That scene brought a smile to my face.

Ten Bucks

The premise of this website just tickles me. And makes me wish I'd thought of it.

I just spent ten dollars on an unknown object. That's right. I have no idea what I'm going to receive from SomethingStore. I'll post about it once I get the item.

From The Ice-Age To The Dole-Age

There is but one concern
I have just discovered:

Strawberry cream cheese!

Have you tried this thick pink goo?
If you've not, let me ask you

Could you eat it with a steak?
Would you try it on some cake?

Have you had it on some toast?
Would you like it that way most?

Please try just a small wee bit
This sweet cream cheese is the shit!

Apologies to Morrissey and Dr. Seuss.

The Whole Fam Damily Is Doing It

Mike has spent the last couple of days posting old photos to his blog. The latest are baby photos of Allan and their sister Jo Ann. Now Allan has posted another baby photo on his blog. So what the hell, let me jump on the baby bandwagon. You've seen me in my high school glory. Coming Soon: The Awkward Years.

Or not.

God Bless Allen Wrench

You came into my life
In a time of strife

Because of the lure
Of Swedish furniture

Oh the joy you bring
When you do your thing

Your octagonal head
Puts together my bed

(With apologies to any real poets out there).
