Don’t know who’s in town for the holidays, but I will be, and am happy to scratch up the Beer, Bacon, and Tofu if folks would like to get together sometime over the holidays.

the problem with family values, is that not all families hold to the same values.

By a cool little Chicago group called Big Dog Eat Child.

Sadly, didn’t get to go see these guys when I was up there, but, hey, I was hanging with Ukrainians, sabres, and I think that was a potato salad.

Anyway, Ninja Breakfast cereals are on their Main Page, but here, for your edification, is Jones BigAss Truck Rental and Storage.

I adore short sketch comedy like this when it’s well done… if anybody’s got recommendations in North Texas, let me know.

Excuse me a moment…

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, sorry.  Guess which bank I’ve been smack-talking years and expecting to fold, based on working inside its hopelessly-corrupt CMBS bowels?  Not that I’m all happy about folks losing their jobs… not all of them worked in positions where they could have seen this coming, and I’m sure that the real shitheads who’ve been steadily engineering themselves into a ditch will get off scot free, as usual.

I was a meaningless pawn surrounded by overgrown frat boys who would cheat a baby for its first tooth… but I got out while the getting was good, and I’m glad I did.

Of course, the problem with being able to run your prey to death  is spotting the particular prey, rather than chasing sixteen of them in endless order b/c you can’t pick one specific animal.

But if you have binocular vision and a heavy stick, and can get close enough to make a throw, then picking out Mister Gimpy as he tries to get away in a savanna or mixed-terrain environment (a “rabbit stick” is an almost perfect tool for “legging” quadrupeds), makes an awful lot of sense.

Combine that with our ability to hyper-communicate using nothing but our eyes (the “whites” of our eyes are an incredible commo advantage), and we turn out to be niche, but potentially very, very effective predators.

More evidence that it is not only good for you, but with nuts (why are so many folks allergic to nuts?  Real nuts, or tubers like peanuts and cashews masquerading?), apparently forms an almost optimal diet.

Can Whales have… Harpoons?

AGM-84, that is?

well, take a look for yourself.  Epic Fail.

Complete with “Oh, you want some more, huh?”

This ought to be just HIGH-larious.

SUPPOSEDLY we’ve possibly won a car in one of those random-drawing contests.  Or a tv.  Or a trip.

This is one of those “come listen to our spiel” thingumbobbies.

We’re going later on this week… b/c this strikes me as a golden opportunity to treat my wife to a coffee across town while giggling hilariously.  Stand by for vicious blogsnarking.
