You should never dress up a bait-and-switch by telling your customers “OMG you guru.”

Were I to use that extra space, what happens to that data 24 months from now? Am I upgraded to Maharishi then extorted?

I just wrote about 500 words in this text box, accidentally refreshed the page, and lost it all. Do not use the web interface for real work. So bummed. I may try to re-write it all later.

“Getroued met Mr. Min, gemis deur min”

- Lyrics For Jack Parow’s – ‘Eksie Ou’

This line drops perhaps the most perfect syncopated meter of any rap song ever.

I’m looking for ideas for good (not Michelob Ultra) drinks that are light-ish on alcohol content and summery. Do you have any favorites?

I’m asking for my face.

La paloma. A low-cal way to get shitty:

A good silver tequila, diet Squirt and a little lime juice.

80 proof tequila is 64 calories/oz. So half a bottle is still within a daily calorie intake if you skip a meal. (not that I would suggest anything that extreme)

Good tequila = 100% agave.

Cheap + good= el Jimador.

La Paloma is the most popular tequila-based cocktail in Mexico!

I mean, can you imagine how large my grocery bill is?

It’s at about 7 or 8 years that a child turns from “cute object of your love and affection” to “jobless roommate.”

As ephemeral as a total eclipse of the sun, another epi of the podcast shines like a pre-1969 quarter found in your tip jar. That is to say, our fans have upgraded us from “not very good” to “average.”

Bond’s BB Gun

David Hurn recalls that when he was commissioned to shoot the Bond portraits required for the publicity campaign for the second Bond film, it was decided that the main image in the poster and advertising campaign should be a strong portrait of Sean Connery as Bond 007 with his Walther pistol. When Connery arrived at the studio for the shoot, it was discovered that no one had brought the gun needed for the shoot (a Walther PPK). By chance the photographer practiced air pistol target shooting as a hobby and had the air pistol he used for this purpose (also a Walther). Without telling Sean or the other representatives of United Artists the photographer decided that “we would use my pistol for the pictures and presumed that should anyone have doubts on their seeing the name Walther on the gun, they would be reassured.” The long barrel of the air-pistol was to be removed by airbrushing during the designing of the actual poster. This was never done.
