Hit me w/ your best shot…err…posts!
Might I recommend catching some of Renee’s brilliant guest posting on Feministe? I am particularly fond of this one, although it ruffled a lot of feathers.
Have a great one, Readerland!

The sword is affectionately called “The Cockroach Killer” around here.
She is so incredibly perfectly my child.

things i love
at the Guy’s request.
For some reason we can not get enough Daler Mehndi around here.
No, I mean it, someone is always playing Daler.
and
He just looks so happy…and I’ll be damned if his music isn’t catchy.
More things I love.

This one’s for Zoltan.
He knows why…w/ all the love for my favorite Hungarian in the whole world!
And yay! Bob can watch Youtube again!
George Carlin, 71, died yesterday of heart failure.
What an incredibly great loss.
George Carlin was on my short list of people I would like to meet before I die, with Spalding Grey, the Dalai Lama and Alice Cooper. I have reasons for my desire to meet each one, and I have noticed the list of possibilities is growing shorter.
When I was younger and more naive I was appalled at the things that Carlin used to say in his shows. There was a time when I thought he was offensive. As I grew up in body and spirit and mind the things he would say in comedy began to poke at me and would actually make me think about the things I believed. To this day, I try to practice his wise words from one of my favorite stupid 80s movies of all time, “Be excellent to each other”.
His “Seven Words” act is one of the things he is most well known for among people who didn’t follow him that closely, and even got him a footnote in the legal history when the Supreme Court ruled that playing his act on a radio broadcast during hours when children could be listening was not OK.
I personally loved his pokes at religion. I have my reasons. I loved him in Dogma for a lot of the same reasons.
I will leave w/ this clip, that I have posted before, b/c aside from being amazingly hilarious, he also had a way w/ words that I found profound.
We will miss you, George. And I am sorry I never got the chance to finish my list.
Hits for 3d10+3 damage.
That is hot.
So far, 4.0 gets a great big two thumbs up!
And, Vampiric Embrace is teh pwn!
