Picture of the Day

So, after missing the last two days of work (three, including Monday), I went back to school, today. If I could stop coughing, I’d be a really happy person. My head would stop pounding, my voice might return, and I might be able to sleep more than a few hours without waking up [...]

Pimping and Warfare

Yeah, I know the two seem oddly coupled, but whatever.
Ambulance Driver has an amazing clip of a British gentleman giving his highly polished .02 about Saudi Arabia, Islamofascism and his beloved country. It is excellent, and while AD says the guy should run for Parliament, I’d take it further and say, Prime Minister.
Wyatt has [...]

Thought this was cute!

When I was a little kid, one of my favorite songs to sing in Sunday school (aside from the marching with infantry song) was about a little guy named Zacchaeus. So, when I saw this comic/cartoon, it made me giggle. I’ve included the words to the song in case you need the reference (words are [...]

Oh, the play Shakespeare could write

It’s funny, really. As an observer of what is happening in the Democratic race for a candidate for president, I’ve noticed several things:
Despite his inability to say anything of real substance and stammering to come up with an answer that isn’t some broad statement using the words “change” and “hope,” Obama seems to be steamrolling [...]

A little something good for the soul…

It’s been a while since I shared some quotations that made me think or that I just plain appreciate. I don’t know who to attribute most of these to, since where I got them didn’t do the proper thing and cite them, but I thought I’d share them just the same.
Hope you enjoy them, [...]

Picture of the Day

It’s a soup and sammich kind of day.
In case my diet buddies get concerned: I’m sharing half the sandwich with my mom. She made some yummy homemade soup.
Cures what ails ya!

Christian Artist, Larry Norman

Larry Norman is one of the people responsible for contemporary Christian music.
He’s kind of folksy and is not afraid to use his music to say some uncomfortable things or touch uncomfortable subjects.
While he may not be everyone’s cup of tea, he felt strongly in his belief in God and his purpose in life [...]

Picture of the Day: Wanna do a shot?

Sure, it doesn’t get you drunk (no alcohol), but it keeps you breathing.

Each time I down a dose, I think of this song. Fevers warp the brain, I tell ya.
(Btw., I’ve posted the winners for this week’s caption contest, HERE.)

It’s all hot air.

I was wondering why Al Gorgonzola was so quiet. It appears that we are headed for an ice age. Well, maybe.

1. The average temperature in January was about a third of a degree cooler than the average held in the 20th century.
2. Globally, this is the harshest winter in a century.
3. [...]

Shake what yo’momma gave ya!

In Wyatt’s comments for this week’s “weigh day,” Jim from bRight & Early posted a link to his blog that discussed the Florida Marlins looking for some girthy guys to dance at their games.
I found video of the auditions! I wonder if these guys just did it to stand behind [...]

Total stream of randomness

I decided to spare my students watching me cough up a lung, today. Good thing. I never would have made it through the day. I have successfully coughed up one lung, though. I’m now working on lung number two.
When I’m feeling sick, I tend to eat won ton soup. It [...]

Nectar of the gods

Would it be so wrong if I chugged the whole bottle?
It works well, but I want whatever is attacking my ears and throat to be gone, NOW!
I’m going to go back to whimpering. Now I know what that side of beef felt like in Rocky.
