Soda Response II

Recently I was forced to subsist on barely edible food.  Yes, I’m talking about a Hardees Six Dollar Burger.  Tragic!  Alas, sometimes I just don’t have time to prepare a proper venison steak. It was after midnight and the clueless … Continue reading

Soda Ban Response

From lead nanny state busybody Bloomberg who apparently thinks it’s within government’s purview (from the consent of the governed?) to outlaw large soda cups: “We’re not taking away anybody’s right to do things, we’re simply forcing you to understand that … Continue reading

E-books: Resistance Is Futile

Our household is aggressively dangerously unforgivably literate. All through the house, words are disassembled, deconstructed, folded, spindled, mutilated, adored, trashed, preserved, deleted, savored, swigged, passed around like a joint in Phish concert, consumed like beer at a kegger, and inhaled in a way Bill Clinton denied. Scrabble is a contact sport. We alliterate even when the drapes aren’t drawn. Similes and metaphors are bounced off walls like free radicals in Ron Paul’s brain. Words are mixed in good ways and bad and (in my case) foreign ones are mispronounced with wild abandon. All words are welcome in our house. (I’m the only one who swears but I don’t fucking care if you disapprove.) Further, as you’ve no doubt noticed from reading my blog, I’m willing to walk around in public without using spell check.
