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...
But Is He In The Registry?
About two weeks ago I made mention of a registry of marriage counselors, which deliberately divided the marriage-fixing profession as far as who was out to fix marriages, versus, who was “neutral” or, to put it more simply, who was out to sabotage marriages.
Well I’m not sure where, as a marriage counselor, your name is going to be listed if you’re telling your patients to strip buck-naked and yell at trees. That’s what the patient said when the cops busted him, anyway. To those who have never been married before, I’m sure it’s a no-brainer that having your husband hauled off to the pokey for indecent exposure, disturbing the peace, and whatever other offenses they have in Germany, would be deleterious to the marriage. Never-before-married people do seem to be experts on being married, I’ve noticed. But as a guy who’s been married before, I’m having second thoughts. If your woman is making you want to do some yelling, taking it out on the trees might have a pressure-releasing effect and it might prolong the marriage. Of course as a guy, I’m thinking if your wife makes you want to yell, prolonging the marriage is not necessarily a good thing. Unless the yelling is…well, I digress.
I wonder what the ladies would say. Single, and married. It would be interesting to find out.
A German man has been arrested after a marriage guidance counsellor advised him to run around naked shouting at trees.
Dieter Braun, 43, from Recklinghausen said the stress release technique had worked perfectly until he was arrested.
He told police that venting his anger on the trees had stopped him shouting at his wife.
“If I didn’t go to the woods and scream at the trees then my marriage would probably be over,” he said.
He added taking his clothes off at the same time made him feel more relaxed.
“For me it’s a type of relaxation therapy. Feeling the breeze on my naked skin really calms me down.”
But local police said other visitors to the forest did not find his behaviour relaxing and have now charged him with causing a public nuisance.
I hope they go light on his sentencing. I know I shouldn’t be thinking this way, but I’ve had a few marriages where that guy could have been me.
Women. Can’t live with’em, can’t live without’em, can’t cut’em down, split them up into logs, and burn them in the winter.
