The Sharks caused a stir when they decided to add tits and ass to the in-game entertainment… They thankfully backed away from that, kind of.
Notice the women are wearing tight fitting pants and the men are not. Unlike last year when both were wearing loose pants.
We are making progress but still so much to be done….
Sipping a beer after a job well done.
And the trimmings:
With a dog chewing through them…
This year we went to support our local firemen. The pancakes were better, more fire equipment to look at, but the hotter firemen according to my wife are in Mountain View… Must be the pay.
Fried tomatoes that were grown in her back yard. Olive oil from Crete to fry eggs from chickens laying in her back yard. Bacon that was smoked by a local artisan. Bread milled and sourced locally. Cheese is locally sourced as well.
Newspaper also local.
Many years ago, my wife and I read this hilarious story about Dogs in Elk:
Anne V – 01:01pm Sep 9, 1999 PDT (# 1318 of 1332) Okay – I know how to take meat away from a dog. How do I take a dog away from meat? This is not, unfortunately, a joke.
AmyC – 01:02pm Sep 9, 1999 PDT (# 1319 of 1332) Um, can you give us a few more specifics here?
Anne V – 01:12pm Sep 9, 1999 PDT (# 1320 of 1332) They’re inside of it. They crawled inside, and now I have a giant incredibly heavy piece of carcass in my yard, with 2 dogs inside of it, and they are NOT getting bored of it and coming out. One of them is snoring. I have company arriving in three hours, and my current plan is to 1. put up a tent over said carcass and 2. hang thousands of fly strips inside it. This has been going on since about 6:40 this morning.
AmyC – 01:19pm Sep 9, 1999 PDT (# 1321 of 1332) Oh. My. God. What sort of carcass is big enough to hold a couple of dogs inside? Given the situation, I’m afraid you’re not going to be create enough of a diversion to get the dogs out of the carrion, unless they like greeting company as much as they like rolling around in dead stuff. Which seems unlikely. Can you turn a hose on the festivities?
Anne V – 01:31pm Sep 9, 1999 PDT (# 1323 of 1332) Elk. Elk are very big this year, because of the rain and good grazing and so forth. They aren’t rolling. They are alternately napping and eating. They each have a ribcage. Other dogs are working on them from the outside. It’s all way too primal in my yard right now. We tried the hose trick. At someone elses house, which is where they climbed in and began to refuse to come out. Many hours ago. I think that the hose mostly helps keep them cool and dislodges little moist snacks for them. hose failed. My new hope is that if they all continue to eat at this rate, they will be finished before the houseguests arrive. The very urban houseguests. Oh, god – I know it’s funny. It’s appalling, and funny, and completely entirely representative of life with dogs.
And so here we have Kostadis in Lamb:
How do you extract a Kostadis from a Lamb rib-cage? Much like a dog, you wait for him to finish eating…
Here’s what I looked like with an Android:
Scruffy beard, long hair, generally disheveled appearance – all showing how I value function over form.
My motto was: It’s not how you look, it’s what you do. Always trade off doing more even if it means you look worse doing it.
Then I buy an iPhone, and …
I have a new haircut, beard is tastefully trimmed and groomed, and I have the air of sophistication of someone who understands the importance of form tied to function.
My new motto: It’s not just about what you do, but how you look doing it. Never trade off doing more if it means you look ugly doing it.
Sounds about as silly as looking for good Indian food.
