The Tuesday Eudemon
Surveying the Internet landscape, there's a mish-mash of semi-interesting stuff, but nothing worthy of an entire post, not even one of my 10-word ones.
News for the stomach strong: Harry Potter will perform nude next summer. The story doesn't say whether he'll keep the glasses on, but he does say: "shove me in a blender." I'm not sure I understand the comment. I just hope it's not a Jackass thing, given that he'll be nude and all.
North Korea is still dancing with nukes. Am I the only one having troubles "getting into" this ongoing saga? The apathy is probably part of my Jungian collective unconscious (if I believed in such a thing), a leftover chair in my shadowy mental furniture from America's former isolationism (a healthy sentiment that we lost, thanks to Americans getting Woodrow about 90 years ago). I'm sure I'd be much more interested if North Korea were located in, say, Windsor.
I entered the 21st century yesterday. I bought a pair of Razor phones for my wife and me and loaded them up with 600 minutes per month, plus she gets free incoming and weekends. They also have voice mail and caller ID. I needed a good one for work, but my wife can really use one. She has seven clients to cart around the planet and a million errands to run every month. We might get rid of our land-line, thereby making the additional cost nominal. We'll see how they work. I'm looking forward to being accessible 24/7, interrupting every conversation because someone is calling me, and generally ruining every peaceful moment of my life. I can't wait to see the heads turn at church. I mean, I can't ever turn it off, right? But here's the real reason I'm going to start using it.
The Kenny Rogers pine tar/resin/mud questioning continues. The smudge looked suspicious to me, but (i) the umpire inspected Kenny's hand, (ii) Kenny washed it off after the first inning, and (iii) Kenny threw seven more innings of 1-hit/shut-out ball after the first inning (which was probably his rockiest). The man is having an historic post-season. Leave it to the gnats to try to ruin it.
The NY Senate race got real ugly. I'm not a fan of the future Mao, but the Republican challenger was out of line (not off-base, but out of line), when he said Hillary was ugly in her younger days and he doesn't know why Bill married her. That's a brutal observation and one that'll make her sympathetic to voters. Thanks a lot, man.
On the other end of Mrs. USA, Nancy Pelosi has declared that her family is very pro-life. They just don't, you know, want to outlaw murder.
And in case you think we're the only country plagued with leftist females: A top female politician Ãn Holland wants Dutch prostitutes sent abroad with the troops to help them relax.
