Real Life Today, Kids.

And, by real life, I mean #3 Alabama v. #9 LSU. Off to the grocery store and then pre-game cooking/cleaning....



Roll Tide, Playa...and say a continued prayer for my liver

Speaking of awkward for everyone...

I collect tales of esoterica and in turn -out of pique or genuine fascination- share them with you. One subset has always amazed me, the very bizarre, but true, deaths of people. Like

  • Greek philosopher Chrysippus, who died laughing while watching his donkey eat grapes.
  • Good ole' Crassus whom the Parthians made to ingest molten gold  for his brazen attack on otherwise-peaceful lands
  • Sir Arthur Alston, who was beaten to death with his own wooden leg.
  • George Plantagenet, the 1st Duke of Clarence, who was drowned in a cask of wine...at his request.
  • Jim Creighton, baseball player from antiquity who died after taking a massive swinging miss...and ruptured his bladder.
  • The author Sherwood Anderson who swallowed a toothpick, puncturng his stomach and causing fatal infection.

But this one just plain takes the cake in terms of lacking dignity: Hippos, dwarfs, trampolines. It is the ultimate "fuck you" from life to this poor man...


Really, Life, wasn't beeing a dwarf enough?

Japanese Homoerotic Nutcrusher Doritos...

Seriously, I have no idea what the hell is going on in Japan. After the lolita/amputee sex toy catalog, the man thong, the "girlfriend lap pillow" they give us this?


I don't know what's in that bag, but I'm not going to be eating them.
