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...
Webutante was wondering over at Gerard’s place what we look like, so we went looking through our own pages for something old in which our Buddha-sized gut didn’t show. We finally settled on this one which is slightly modified…
I did that one a very long time ago, and if I recall correctly I zoomed way in and sucked in the stomach by about three or four pixels. Digital liposuction; wouldn’t help nowadays. Everything else is genuine though. If memory serves.
Gerard wasn’t satisfied though, and thought it might be realistic to add something back in.
Mmm, yeah. Don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Just why you had to erase the dog from your formal portrait in order to achieve some transitory machoness is beyond me.
I, for example, am secure in my purse dog.

I thought, any self respecting Na’vi would trade his dragon for one of these in a heart beat.

- tim | 01/05/2010 @ 14:54The bow is just half a year older than the picture. I already had to have it re-strung once. To date, it would have to go into the “put more money into it than the enjoyment I got out of it” file, just like my old X-Box, but that’s pure laziness on my part. I can still hit what I’m trying to hit, at 60 yards plus. It’s an informal New Year’s resolution to dust the cobwebs off that thing and give it a workout.
Good ol’ NorCal…this means fifty miles of driving, and three hours out of the weekend. But it’s for the same cause of preservation-of-manliness as puttin’ the hate on the purse-dogs.
- mkfreeberg | 01/05/2010 @ 15:03Seriously, I have shot compound bows and my very own hickory 60lb long bow that I made myself. I honestly like my hickory bow better.
Perhaps it is because I made it, but I think it’s because there is an elegance to it that can’t be matched by the modern machine that is the compound bow. Compounds do have this going for them though, the machine crafting insures that every one of them is the same. The will pull the same, feel the same and resist weather the same. A wood bow is unique in every way. Even two bows that are made from side by side pieces of the same tree will shoot and feel different.
Anyway, the purse dog really doesn’t go with that hat.
