Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Gray matter fatigue
I thought about writing a post, “Top Ten Items Encountered at Paris Hilton’s Cavity Search,” but after my #10 (From Room 209 of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the missing Gideon’s Bible), I came up with nothin’. Nicole Richie’s ________. Donald Trump’s _______.
Like I said. Nothin’. The Muse is underwhelmed by Paris, so perhaps it’s a good thing I decided not to write my own version of Paris’s Prison Diaries.
If you’ll allow me to kvetch, I’m still coughing (have I mentioned that yet?), had a full OR schedule today (7:30 – 5:00 without a break), got home late thanks to a hospital committee meeting, and right now I can think of nothing better but to crawl into bed and watch the end of Mythbusters. Tomorrow looks similarly grueling, including a Board of Trustees meeting. So unless someone can suggest an extremely easy Thirteen, we might be looking at a Friday Fourteen. Or a Saturday Sixteen.
Anyway. Here’s Jake, age five, clambering around at our local park.

The Café at the End of Time
Nice. I would also have accepted “The Eschaton Bar & Grill” or “Fimbulvetr Jazz Club” (baby, it’s cold outside, but our music is HOT HOT HOT!).
Dude! They shot a chunk of tire through the dummy’s head!
Simulated decapitation… what’s not to love about that?
Lyvvie, funny you should mention cancelled TV shows — last night, I started putting together a 13 of old TV sitcom clips from YouTube. Don’t know if it’ll be ready tonight or not.
Pat, I’m still trying to understand that comment!
p.s. (better?) — you betcha. That was great!
I hope you got some rest, Doug!
How about:

BTW, Livvie… I snagged your suggestions for future reference! Thx!
Yes, thanks 😉
(I find it particularly funny on Dean’s blog, where I comment as ‘protected static’, and his WordPress theme helpfully capitalizes it for me when I hit the submit button. You know. In case I forgot.)
p.s. – that’ll teach him to use the Big Brother theme pack. The next release will replace all commentary adjectives with either “double-plus good” or “double-plus ungood”.
Which, as we know, will make everything double-plus gooder.
13 reasons why Paris Hilton’s skinny little ass should still be in jail
Tonight: 2.5 hour Board of Trustees meeting.
I don’t often bail out on posting, but tonight’s brain-fry makes last night’s brain-fry look like a Reformed Oneg Shabbat. Or a church picnic, to use a phrase more approachable to the goyim.
Oh, Thorne? I have only one position on intercourse: it’s a good thing.
Adorable picture.
Hey there! You might get a kick out of this post: http://humans.scienceboard.net/archives/2007/06/08/294/
and you would be well-placed to start a nekked bloggers contingent in the demonstration, no? Only if you can ride a bike, though…
Thanks, CD.
Alethea, that link took me to a page with a header and nothing else. I want my naked cyclists!
Come to Seattle… there’s a fairly large contingent that does this every year. If that’s too far, Eugene’s closer; I’d be stunned if there wasn’t a naked bike ride in Eugene. Stunned.
(In Seattle, the big naked bike ride of the year is actually a semi-sanctioned part of the Fremont Solstice Parade.)
Vancouver has nekkid bike rides, too – usually protesting for world peace or some such noble cause. I can’t watch the news coverage, because my brother is frequently one of them.
Well, what do you know? It appears today is World Naked Bike Ride Day in Canada:

Damn! What am I doing,sitting here on my couch?
Excellent position, Doug!
