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...
Quadruple-threat today.
Oldie but a goodie. Sometimes it’s a Californian moving to Montana for the winter, sometimes it’s a Texan popping in to Vermont. Always in diary form, always funny as hell. Seems appropriate for this time of year.
Dec 8 6 p.m. It’s starting to snow. The first of the season and the wife and I took our Chardonnay and sat by the window watching the soft flakes drift down over the area. It was beautiful!
Dec 9 We awoke to a big beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Every tree and shrub covered with a beautiful white mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time and loved it. After I did the sidewalk and driveway the snowplow came along and covered up our sidewalk with compacted snow from the street so I shoveled it again. Great exercise!

Dec 16 Fell on my butt on the ice in the driveway.

Dec 24 If I ever catch the sonofabitch that drives the snowplow I’ll drag him through the snow by his balls. I think he waits around the corner until I’ve finished shoveling so he can come by at 80 mph and throw the snow up on what used to be my lawn.

Dec 28 I set fire to the house so I won’t have to shovel that shit off the roof.

Jan 5 Sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service shoveling snow for senior citizens.
And on a separate subject, this looks like an Imus appearance of some kind; The Day My Wife Met…
Speaking of meetings, Titanic meets IM.
Ten things code doesn’t do in real life, as in, computer code. You know, as opposed to movies. I’m sure you’ve seen this awful movie by now. Or this one, or this one.

I ADORE that story. It never fails to make me laugh. Harder and harder as the season progresses, of course. I’ve never heard the community service end, though. That’s a tidy 2006 ending!
