merry christmas sir...... i believe that one of my favorite covers is either "in the air tonight" by phil collins performed by godheadsilo or "kangaroo" by alex chilton performed by jeff buckley..... hoping that you and yours have the happiest of holidays and wishing you a fruitful new year.....

As a blind squirrel, I could never find nuts. Nuts found me!

Were you going to spell out "Merry Festivus" on your own, or did you actually find lights that celebrated Festivus? Either way, very cool idea.

And what, you can't use thumbtacks on brick? Really?

I would totally buy SG hiking pants. And wear them to the beach...

I think good radio stations in Florida are nonexistent. So sadly, I have no answer to your question. Let me know if you find one. I'll make a special trip to Ocala just to hear good radio in Florida. It's that serious.

If you can successfully create a year-round crop garden in your backyard, I'm so moving to Jacksonville.

Chapstick squared!

I've never been camping before, so I honestly don't know. I'm glad you're remembering TP.

This is my comment.

I kicked ass this semester, which just supports my theory that getting laid regularly makes me smarter.

I see you online sometimes, but you're always idle. I never know if I should bother you or not...

the correct term is "dorito dust" and yeah, i like having nacho flavored poon. don't you?

went to a "Move On" party or something last night.

For those "not in the know" these are events where middle-aged folks who don't review much real reporting hang out at one of their co-workers or associates houses and watch a movie that is essentially geared to present the current administration in an unfavorable light. (how much talent that must take... no?) They then sit around after the movie talking a lot in an incredibly unstructured, and disorganized way--tangents leading to tangents mostly-- and somehow advance their own understanding of things... although to some, they might appear to be making themselves even dizzier.

The most troubling comment I heard was from a forty-ish I.T. guy for a large railroad corporation in attendance.

"I've never been a part of anything this radical before."

To recap: it's folks watching a film. I didn't want to be rude, but that was just ludicrous. He wasn't even saying it in a way that was lamentable, it was like he was excited to be part of the Vanguard Party or something... which just kind of made me (fill in blank here.)

I'm totally cool with folks not caring about certain things, politics among them... people's interests vary. What DOES bug me is the degree to which their ideas of potential are limited. This was radical to the guy... there just wasn't much at all that he could fathom in the way of dealing with the current situation beyond watching this film and talking about politics in a non-goose-stepping way within the posh confines of a friend's house behind locked doors.

Just thought that was noteworthy. I am not a centrist on any level, and as such kind of rely on encounters like this to take the pulse of Joe and Jane Q. Public.

What are you into to a radical degree?
