Olympics roundup: fur from Russia, synchronized swimming this Saturday - with inspiration from "O," and a pole vault primer.
I can't believe women's softball lost to Japan! That's a whole lot of depressed lesbians.
This weekend on the way back from the beach via Manhattan, we went for a quick bite to eat at an Irish (I couldn't get enough) pub near Penn Station. There on the menu was an option for individual-sized "Wisconsin Style" pizza. I had no idea what that was so I ordered one and asked the waitress what the hell that means. She came back telling me it was a square pizza with a thin crust cut in squares as opposed to slices. I had no idea it was a distinctive culinary style. Just like Pizza Corral back home I guess.
French-fry eating Great Lakes gulls accumulating trans fats. Joe.My.God suggests more donuts for the birds.
This Saturday don't miss Bird Flu Horror, another classic SciFi Original move at 9pm, where mutant killer birds carrying a deadly virus attack a group of hikers on a wilderness trek.
Not a mutant, the Hay's Spring amphipod (Stygobromus hayi) is an endangered species of shrimp-like critters that live only in the springs in and around Rock Creek Park near the National Zoo. Other endangered DC critters include Kenk's amphipod (Stygobromus kenki) in local springs, and a small social unit of endangered bonobos usually found playing trivia at Nellie's Sports Bar on Wednesday nights.
An article about a DC I have yet to experience, and hope I never will. It's mostly about douche bags and those who think they have their finger on the pulse of power who tend to not last very long in this town.
A far more practical article about where to go when the zombie apocalypse comes. Where would you go to stay safe in DC in the event of a zombie outbreak?
50 Years of Heartburn, XXOO from Ben's Chili Bowl.
Fur from Los Angeles: the Yeti Menace, a blog. He plays rugby with the L.A. Rebellion team.
A movie featuring my future husbands Paul Rudd and Sean William Scott in the same film, and a movie about rugby featuring that one guy from Rudy and Lord of the Rings.
An Old Skool blogger from back in tha day is writing again. Go check out Dogpoet. His recent entry about a drunken drag queen in his bar was priceless:
...sometime around eight o’clock, she raises her hand again and cries out, “MADONNA!!” in a voice that overpowers the house music. It sounds like both a frustrated demand and a cry of victory, as if confirming the singer’s unassailable power over our lives. The customers look at her with a mixture of humor, disgust, and pity.I love the mountains, I love the deep blue sky, I love the ocean, I love great whites that fly. I Love the World, an endearing Discovery Channel advert.

Hmmm. That russian WAS furry. And not necessarily in a good way.
The "We love the world" thing made me think of this:

Which is my current unit patch.
As you can see the eagle is hugging the earth . . thus we call him "Huggie" our mascot.
Course our running joke is that he is getting some of AFRICOM . . at least thats where his imaginary sexual organs would be.
Just sharing my .02
That W article lost me as soon as they said "Georgetown". Ugh. As for the zombies, despite what the blog says, I'd opt for the Quarry House. They have a virtually unlimited supply of Old Bay tater tots, a good beer selection and a great jukebox. You wanna see me put up a fight - just try coming after my tots. You WILL lose, betch.
Speaking of birds, are you aware there's a remake of "The Birds" in the works scheduled for next year with Naomi Watts rumored as Melanie Daniels? And that there's a Melanie Daniels Barbie doll from Mattel complete with 3 crows attacking here about ready to be released? (I already got mine pre-ordered)
I live in northern Virginia. In the event of a zombie apocalypse would I even notice?
A good friend and fellow fur fiend has a phrase -- hair done right. The Russian just might be hair done wrong.
