A new couch for that ass

( Photos and NOLA )

My last couch was given to me in the late 90’s by a friend of mine, and I recently donated it to another friend.
I’d been talking lately about getting a new couch, but I know it probably wouldn’t happen unless I got rid of the then current one. Well, it got picked up mid last […]

Bicycle: A Buttdate.

Latest update on the recovering tail bone:
I can ride a bike! Hawesome.
I’m healing pretty quickly I’d say, but I can tell I still have a while to go. The act of sitting up from a lying down position still hurts (well, more like a bad ache but you get the idea), along with a number […]

Web Standards / Blue Beanie Day

( Photos and Geekery )

Some of you may be asking yourself “What is Blue Beanie Day?” and hopefully even fewer are asking “What are Web Standards?”
Well, I’ll just pretend you didn’t ask the latter, but point you here just in case.
Actually, if you asked the first question, you should click on that above link anyway. Long story short, some […]

Drew Brees / Carlton Banks

In light of the picture below, I think that Drew Brees’ touchdown dance should be “the Carlton”.

How does this happen, and can someone inform me when it will happen again?
In other news, SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNTTTTSSSSSSSS!

Happy Katanakka!

( Random and Amusing )

For those of you who are wondering what in the Wide Wide World of Sports™ I am talking about (ie all you non-ninjas), Katanakka is a Ninja holiday celebrated on the same day as Thanksgiving so “that we still get the day off”.
If you wish to read more on the origins of Katanakka (and I […]

Fall down go boom

Well, this past Sunday, I reffed the Big Easy Rollergirls intraleague bout, a matchup of the Marigny Antoinettes and the Confederacy of Punches.
The bout went of pretty well, some hiccups here and there, but that is to be expected.
Somehow though, the ref squad managed to incur some losses. S’aint N.O. Lady fractured the radial head […]

Holiday Season

It’s getting be that time of year again. You wouldn’t know it, what with our frigid 66° weather, but that is besides the point.
The real point is that you all, even you GoogleBots, want to buy me lots of gifts. I know, it will be a strong urge to resist, but please try. For the […]

Cube root of 64

Three fours:
1) Number of days since I’ve started the “detox”. I had a partial beer at a beer brew on the fly on Saturday - as doing it to not be rude, and the beer was delicious. That was all I had, even through the later, nail-biting LSU victory. Jason (the brewer) is the […]

A break from a break?

For no other reason other than it seems like a good idea, I am going to detox for the next two weeks. Nothing too strenuous or rigorous, mainly just no drinking. I have some yogi detox tea that is actually quite tasty, and I reckon I need to ask Herr Google about additional methods / […]
