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...
This Is Good XVIII
There’s an unfunny side to this…you kind of have to wonder why life isn’t really this way. Not so much, what societal forces are at work to keep such a thing from ever happening, or what is to be inferred about us since it has not happened — but more like, what would be wrong with such a thing if it did happen.
Good material for some deep, philosophical musings. But never let philosophical musings get in the way of some healthy humor. So on with the show.
If Men Wrote Advice Columns
Q: My husband wants to have a threesome with me and my best friend.
A: Obviously your husband cannot get enough of you! Knowing that there is only one of you he can only settle for the next best thing your best friend. Far from being an issue, this can bring you closer together. Why not get some of your old college roommates involved too? If you are still apprehensive, maybe you should let him be with your friends without you. If you’re still not sure then just perform oral sex on him and cook him a nice meal while you think about it.
Oral sex? Nice meals? What the hell is the problem? Ya gotta admit, as far as one-size-fits-all solutions to problems in relationships, this guy’s answers show a lot more promise than most. Certainly more than…aw, what the hell is it they say…confronting…talking out your feeeeeeeelings…counseling…
Note to self: When the time comes for the deep philosophical musings, the following is worthy of thought. We have no way to grade advice columnists. Hell, you can assess the average performance of a fortune teller, better than you can assess the average performance of an advice columnist, easily.
Now, what if, just taking this as a hypothetical…you could grade an advice columnist. Suppose you had to get a license before you could be an advice columnist, and the minute you got that license the state started tracking each person to whom you gave advice, and kept track of where their relationships went. Supposing we had more diversity in our advice columnists…men…women. And of course the men would give out advice like you see above. Husband promised for a year to fix the garage door, and hasn’t yet…blow job…nice meal. Husband won’t stop wearing those awful plaid pants that went out of style in 1971…blow job…nice meal. Husband chews tobacco and it’s disgusting…blow job…nice meal. Lady advice columnists — just keep up the same ol’ crock. “Get counseling.” At the end of the year, we compare statistics and see how everybody’s doing. What kind of advice leads to happy relationships? And from what “flavor” of advice columnist, does such advice flow?
Heh. I think deep down everybody KNOWS how that would shake out.
