Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
I warned my twelve-year-old son against ever associating with HDBs, that it would make an enormous difference in his life for better or for worse. What I told him, specifically, was that as a young adult he had two things to worry about — not making enough money, or making too much money and losing it all through a HDB. Guess which one happened to his old man.
He found the three-letter acronym enormously entertaining and he cannot believe I haven’t blogged about it yet.
And I wouldn’t, but it seems Daphne is running into those aspects of parenthood I’m dreading most. Fruit of thy womb, seed of thy loins, starts mixing bodily fluids with the High Drama Bitch.
Invite her over for dinner, Michael.
I don’t think so, Mom.
You’re practically living with the woman, bring her to the house.
It’s not that serious, besides she’s kind of insane.
You’re dating a crazy woman? What in the hell’s wrong with you?
She’s smokin’ hot, Mom. Besides she’s nice when she’s not throwing shit or screaming.
Just because of “reality teevee,” this is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets better. RTV and HDB go together hand-in-hand; low-drama people are not fun to watch. People who are on RTV, are HDBs; people who watch RTV turn into HDBs.
RTV is just one minute of something happening, and then another nine minutes of “When X happened, it made me feel…” Low-drama people — people who actually get constructive things done, ladies you would be proud to bring home to your mother — do not talk like this.

Daph’s SN1 has it right, actually. Your HDB appellation may be appropriate, but those types CAN be entertaining as all get out… see her SN1’s “smokin’ hot” comment if that’s lost on ya. The trick is to avail yourself of the entertainment value while eschewing the commitment bits. We’ve ALL been there, haven’t we? 😉

I know, I’m as a dumb as a box of rocks. I didn’t find out what a MILF was until the middle of last year.
- Daphne | 03/14/2010 @ 17:42Daphne, I never heard of HDB until today, but apparently it stands for High Drama Bitch.

Sorry, had to share. Carry on.
- cylarz | 03/14/2010 @ 23:55It has become so widespread and so fashionable, it demands a TLA. That’d be a three-letter acronym.
Just last weekend I was explaining to the young man about my first wife. How important it is to avoid women like this. Then, seven days later, along you come Daphne. Just spooky.
