USA! USA! We’re Number One! We’re Number One (in sperm)
You may recall my recent blog about the United States, and how we kind of suck at everything (even though we're evidently the greatest country in the world). To restore my faith in this statistically below-average land of mine, I went out looking for something ...
Butte Bar Going to the Goats
You're familiar with the whole 'goats that sound like people' thing (in fact, we had a blog about that yesterday). Now goats are acting like people. Kind of. Read all about the goat and the bar in butte in the Billings Gazette.
(the story doesn't mention who got more free drinks: the goat or the local Butte chicks)
(sorry ...
Dear Prudence: My Favorite Advice Column EVER!
First, the photo has nothing to do with the following story. I do, however, think it's great when married couples have things in common (things like a healthy appreciation for tan cleavage).
Anyhoo, I am a recent convert to the Dear Prudence advice column over on Slate's website...
Meshuggah “I Am Colossus” New Video
I can't take credit for breaking this (that goes to the fine folks at Metal Hammer), but damned if I don't dig this new video for "I Am Colossus." It's from their Koloss record, which hit stores last year. Enjoy!
If You Hate Spiders You’ll Love This Video
This is why I always do a lift-n-check at restaurants...happy Monday, and enjoy your lunch.
(that was a short video. Since you're here, enjoy this aptly titled System of a Down tune with your French fries.)
F Spring. Winter Arrives Tonight!
I do love me some Game of Thrones. Season III starts tonight! Between G.O.T., Walking Dead, and the stuff Hotwife records on Sundays, our DVR could well die.
I also love me some Mother Jones magazine, and I love them for three reasons...
This is a MUCH Better Way to Get Down a Mountain
Yesterday I wrote a blog questioning the sanity of a 100-ish mile run up, down, and around the mountains of Tennessee. If I'm not gonna run down a mountain, and suck at skiing, how might I have a good time getting from summit to base? I think the folks in Mieders, Austria might have the solution:
Running. Tennessee. Moonshineless. No Thanks.
I like to think I'm in pretty decent shape. My resting heart rate is pretty good for one of my advanced years (usually around 54 or so), and I've got this snazzy device telling me how many calories I'm burning, how close my heart is to exploding, etc...
On Baseball…
I have a love/hate relationship with baseball. On one hand, I enjoy the idea of going to MLB games, relaxing in the sun, having a few beers, and the like. Sadly, the reality is usually different when attending a game in the majors. Last summer Hotwife and I went to Boston and Maritime Canada...
Gator Rasslin
If you wanna get technical, it's Gator Wrestling, but since this video comes from central Florida I believe the regional term is 'Rasslin.'
Anyhoo, you can check out the Orlando Sentinel's full story about the gator who busted through a fence, and onto a middle school's campus (we called them school grounds when I was a kid ...
Kill Phil: Volume III
The extended forecast for Missoula is finally looking springy next week. Not so for some parts of the country. For instance, check this photo out from KVLY in Fargo earlier this week:
Spring my ass!
The whole northeast got nailed with a late storm, and even friends of mine in southern Ohio are bitching about cold weather...
Bill Gates: The Rubber of Invention
Bill Gates, yes THAT Bill Gates, wants you to 1) use condoms, and 2) make them better. Regarding the latter, he'll pony up 100k in grant money to the person/group/organization who develops the next generation condom.
(I bet you get bonus points if you make that Windows start-up noise go off every time he goes off)
