DAMN IT!
Once again, an entry extremely similar to one I submitted appears as a finalist in the New Yorker's Caption Contest.
FINALISTS
| "It's sloppy work like that that gives the mob a bad name." Submitted by Gordon Baumbacher Kentfield, Calif. | |
| "We are trying to reduce our concrete footprint." Submitted by Tim Wilcox Miwaukee, Wis. | |
| "Two weeks ago, this was not considered torture." Submitted by Avery Clapsaddle Neche, N.D. |
My entry read, " And on your right we are exploring a "green" alternative that, quite literally, reduces your concrete footprint."
Tread lightly Mr. Tim Wilcox of Milwaukee, Wisconsin... You're dangerously close to my "Dead To Me" list.
PETA is Stupid
Create Your Own Sea Kitten at peta.org!
On their web site they have a tool where you can make your own "Sea Kitten." Mine, pictured above is His Royal Fishiness (HRF) Prince Liquida IV. Delicious.
Yet again, comedic hero Stephen Colbert weighs in and discusses this and the appeal of "Land Fish" & "Sky Nachos"... (starting at the 1:47 mark of the clip below:)

Happy National Pie Day
Today is National Pie Day, according to the American Pie Council - "the only organization dedicted to maintaining America's pie heritage."
I have begun my celebration by starting my day with an Apple Turnover - the most patriotically American & pie-like of breakfast treats. Who knows what other celebrations the day will bring?

'Return of the 69th'
The basis for NYC's St. Patrick's Day parade is the return of the 69th Infantry from the Civil War. Fantastic.

Insomnia. Again.
Apparently, unbeknownst to myself, I have given up sleep as a New Year's resolution. While it's never been a strong suit of mine, it is starting to get noticeable in its absence. Despite my (& The Wife's) best efforts, I just can't seem to get a good night's sleep. Grr... Been up since 2:00am. Well, I guess I'll go get a cup of coffee. I'm up...
