  1. The Walrus Asks

    by , 06-14-2008 at 10:05 AM (Barmy Blue's Bland Blog)
    Okay, here's a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway.
    Is there a quick an easy way to lose half a stone without any of the following:
    -Diet
    -Exercise
    -Ridiculous eating disorder
    -Drugs that don't work
    -Cosmetic surgery
    Why do I ask, you ask?
    Because I'm now 13 and a half stone and while I like being over weight, this half a stone is damned uncomfortable. Actually, a stone and a half would be better, but let's be real, this is me. Half a stone

  2. At Wit's End

    Three things occur in Beirut with annoying frequency - the traffic, the heat, and the power outage.
    There is something in Lebanese blood that drives them with the compulsion to drive like maniacs and attempt to run each other over. Nobody sticks to one lane and everybody drives the wrong way. That, combined with the sweltering heat, makes for one nauseating headache.

    ok these two priests' adventures and misadventures are making my day bright. i'm only half way on this second read and i'm sure this will be on my definitive list.

  5. More Books Pt. II-Attack of the Print

    I got more books!

    -The Darwin Awards III: Survival of the Fittest
    -Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
    -When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris

    As you can see, I enjoy memoirs and books about death. That's why I read Christopher Moore.

    The Darwin Awards, first off, is a very well-written account of people who have died in ridiculous ways.

    For example, one man tried to get the explosives from a grenade by sawing ...
