<3 Hank Hill

I just watched King of the Hill "Raising Steaks" and I continue to <3 Hank Hill.

(It's about Hank joining a Co-op and helping to raise cows for his own steaks; which he raises, prepares and eats with loving care.) You can watch it here.


If Hank does something, he does it right, down to the last detail; and he has conviction when it counts.

Open letter to Microsoft Advertising

Dear Windows Advertising Department:

Bad editing is not trendy, hip, alternative, indie, cute, or funny. It's sloppy.

That's where you Windows guys got it wrong- being sloppy. Putting out products before working all the bugs out; but that's a different department.

Sincerely,

Ruth B in Tennessee

Peanut Penpals?

I've ask to sponsor this senior dachshund called "Jasmine" that is being taken care of by the All American Dachshund Rescue.

Turns out the foster parents have been calling "Jasmine" "Peanut" as well. Too cute.

Her tongue hangs out of her mouth because she's missing teeth like my Peanut. Aww, way too cute.
We're going to send her some soft extra chewy treats (because Peanut knows how hard it is to chew without teeth) and make a donation to the AADR for her care in general, and the care and medical bills of other deserving dogs like Ms. Peanut here.

Breakfast.

Wake up and kick cancer in the face.

I start off my day with a half Chocolate Slim-Rite (Kroger brand "Slim-Fast" that tastes better than the name brand) half whey protein shake with 12 delicious ounces of ice cold sweet acidophilus milk.

Mmm Purity.

They just won another award... Sour cream? Buttermilk maybe?

I constantly enjoy the World's #1 Chocolate Milk.

Anyway, the whey protein... it's a by-product, which is great. I love being resourceful/efficient.

And, according to preliminary mice studies, whey may prevent cancer and heart disease. That's always good.

Cute hat, anyone?

So I've been thinking about crafty/personal presents this year, and I made my sister a hat. I'm not sure which one she'll want, but I was thinking I'd let her choose. (Although the pink one would nicely match my pink neck warmer...)

Draft: South Park's f-bomb

South Park really is art. It forces you to think using controversy and pop culture. When they go "too far," it's for a reason (unlike Family Guy, whose shock value is its gimmick; which is really too bad because Seth McFarland is actually very funny with a knock out voice).

When I first started watching the episode "F- word" and hearing "fag" get said over and over again, I thought, "oh South Park, this better be good."

Once again, their message is progressive, and that's what I believe is most important. Although I don't think hate speech is okay in the everyday, no matter who you are hating, I do support South Park and their right to use language and entertainment to promote thought about our society and cultures.

What representatives of the gay community think...

Some sentiments I agree with...

Doing some research because South Park got me thinking...

Today, so far, "fag" has been used 792 times. It's not even noon. Think B4 You Speak.
