Sweet Jesus. We truly are raising a generation who can't be bothered to learn if it's not avaialbe on page one of a Google search.

I am totally rockin' my leopard print Snuggie and burrowing into the flannel sheets. You guys would hate it at my house. I keep the indoor tempt at 65 in winter!

How cold does it have to be for the godforsaken grackles to leave? Don't answer--like roaches and tree rats, it's nuclear winter, isn't it? Crap.

Tiger, sweetie, how many times do you have to touch the hot stove before you decide burns suck?

I am making some chocolatey treats to add to the snackage.

It's Locke's former involvement with the Sports Authority that's one of the specific reasons I won't vote for him. The COH's deal-making on the Dynamo stadium is done. It is not the Mayor's job to spend the County's money. Same with Locke's former involvement with Metro. I don't trust it. He fancies himself a dealmaker, but what we need is more transparency, not more backroom deal-making. Especially when it come to hugely expensive projects like sports stadia and public transit.

This is what happens when you can't afford to hire a real stripper.

All of you HAIFers who have thought about coming to gatherings in the past (you know who you are ) -now's the time! Come celebrate the holiday season with new friends and festive drinks. And besides, this is your chance to see the mighty TJones in action.

Friday it is. See you freaks then!

Instead of taxing soda, we should implement a tax on exceeding the logical-fallacies-allowed-per-internet-post limit.

No, the worst part of that trail was the crackhead who was laying down flat on his back passed out across it. 2 Sundays ago. I'm thinking, hmmm, do I jump him? Do I ride over him and see if he notices? Do I pass on the head or feet end? Is he going to throw that empty bottle at my head? One time I encountered an alligator on some sand trails out on the Brazos river bank near Rosenberg and had the same thoughts. Well, except the part about the bottle. But yea, those apts needed to go a long time ago.

Inconsistent. Which is fine, and the most reasonable response. The very idea of political philosophy is, at the policy level, antiquated, because the power elite operates outside philosophy. The goal is that the rich stay rich. The level of collateral largess, or lack of, working its way into the general population is just a matter of mechanics. Philosophically, I am opposed to economic neo-liberalism. But I don't delude myself that the power brokers who favor the Keynesian alternative are any less focused on preserving their own vast wealth at all costs.

Except with more snow. Half of Washington state appears to have taken the short bus to toothless town. I don't recommend having to buy snow chains under duress at the WalMart in Puyallup, but I do love the rural parts of the Pacific Northwest. People really do accumulate piles of garbage Appalachia-style, and ski on it when it snows. I done seen it!

OB! In the dark ages when I lived in Settegast (mid 80s) the caf at OB was pretty good. It was regular student dining on one side and athletes on the other. All the food was caf style back then, except that horrid Itza Pizza in the Towers. Not a lot of dorm food can beat the scratch breakfast tacos in the dorm cafs at Southwest Texas State back in the day. It was like having your very own little taco lady making breakfast for you every day. UH needs some Tier 1 Taco Ladies.

I heard God's fingernail tastes of baby. Or was it dingo?

The new dining facility will display the Fresh Food Company concept that is popular at campus eateries across the nation. This food-service model is focused on meals being prepared in front of customers and being freshly prepared upon request. “The renovation will upgrade a 39-year-old dining facility into a Tier-One culinary experience for our students, faculty and staff,” said Emily Messa, vice president of University Services. “With the renovation, we will have the largest Fresh Food Company in the nation.” I see Aramark is bringing the back the food service model formerly known as a 'short-order grill'. LOL, that's some Tier 1 marketing bullshit if I've ever seen it. I know, I know, sour grapes. Aramark sucks. I applied for a corporate marketing gig with Aramark once. They did not like my idea for a new branding campaign: (video) Birth. School. Work. Death. (voiceover) Aramark. We Feed the Circle of Life.

That's the tiredest old PO-MO saw in the book, but I imagine it sounded supersmart to the troglodytes on city-data. It's true.....Portland (and to a degree Seattle) is most uncool because they try too damn hard. Too earnest, too ironic, too inked-up and farmer's market-y. I've found that once you get away from punk rock knitting clubs and clever shops where poetry slam rejects sell bacon-covered donuts, you discover this whole world of freaks and meth cooks and hillbillies living in the woods, building bunny ski slopes on top of decades-old garbage piles on their property. Which is totally cool.

I hear it tastes of chicken.

Then you need to be writing the county, not the city. Harris County is the only taxing authority in a position to make or break the deal. The COH has already agreed to the land deal. Parker and Locke both are blowing political smoke rings on this.

Elevated outhouses?

Yay! We miss you, TJ.

Ah....so in Cottage Grove there are only open ditches on one side of the street

I'm confused. Cottage Grove is like Brooklyn? I believe the blogger is smoking the xxxspecial Bed-Stuy crack.

Have to admit...I'm beginning to wonder if this is a loco firebug in the HFD, who has crossed over to the dark side. Or does that only happen in the movies?
