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...
To those of you who thought this was a tad on the obsessive side…and I know you’re out there, I’ve talked to you. (“You were going to make the judge sit through fifteen slides, really??”) This is for you.
In my capacity as Chief Executive Officer, by the Grace of God, of House of Eratosthenes The Blog That Nobody Reads…and let all the civilized world tremble in the face of my wrath…I hereby proclaim in my infinite wisdom, this (hat tip, once again, to Gerard) to be the finest video of the year. In all aspects. The hootin’ and hollerin’, the thigh-slappin’, the solving long overdue problems, the “Yeah Go Get ‘Em”‘s…calculating least common multiples…
Enjoy. Yes, I know it reeks of “staged.” I don’t care. This is a man whose priorities are set properly. Beats the hell out of dismantling nuclear weapons in the very same stretch of days that “Ah’m A Dinner Jacket” guy starts building up his own stock.

I have the same problem as this guy – sort of.
I buy polish sausages from the dollar store – specifically the 99-Cents-Only chain. The sausages come in 2-packs which I cut in half to make four wieners, as each is about 2x the length of a conventional hot dog.
I buy large wheat rolls from the regular grocery store, which come in 6-packs. Again, much bigger than a “regular” hotdog bun.
Basically, I have to buy THREE packages of sausage and TWO packages of buns in order to make a total of 12 large hot dogs. Granted, 12 is more manageable “lowest common denominator” (I think he means LC multiple) but the trouble is that the 2nd package of buns usually turns green before I can put away all 12 dogs. (The sausages can be frozen and aren’t an issue.) Maybe I should make a conference call like this guy.

Yeah, I got it right the first time because that happens to be a pet peeve of mine. But I cut this guy some slack because I knew exactly where he was going from the first five seconds…and while Carlos and the bun-lady were “err”ing and “umm”ing I was nodding my head with a big smile on my face, mumbling “forty.” Steve Martin went after this in one of those horrible “Father of the Bride” remaks, I can’t remember which one.
Not only yeah but hell yeah. Go get ’em.
