Revenge of Schoolly D
A guerrilla promo for Aqua Teen Hunger Force brings Boston to a halt.
(Of course, this is a hoax story since it implies that there’s a traffic condition in Boston that’s dissimilar to a halt.)
I can’t make this up
Worst headline ever in a long time: UPS: A Big Brown Disappointment
Down by contact
Ahoy, dear readers! Sorry for the lack of posts; I was down-n-out with some sorta flu yesterday. I made it into the office for an hour or so, then gave up and came home to rest.
The construction across the street — our neighbor’s building an addition on his house — made sure that I never got too much sleep during the day. I take that as a positive, since it meant I didn’t have trouble when I went to bed last night.
Anyway, I’ve got a ton of work to catch up on, so I leave you with Life After Sports (and make sure you check out the slide show).
Over a barrel
Why have oil prices dropped from their near-$80/barrel peak? Because the laws of supply and demand trump the sneaky practices of speculators who kept the price inflated. Oh, and OPEC “has lately demonstrated its classic inclination toward ineffectiveness.”
Monday Morning Montaigne
From That the taste of good and evil depends in large part on the opinion we have of them:
Indeed, just as study is a torment to a lazy man, abstinence from wine to a drunkard, frugality to the luxurious man, and exercise to a delicate idler, so it is with the rest. Things are not that painful or difficult of themselves; it is our weakness and cowardice that make them so. To judge of great and lofty things we need a soul of the same caliber; otherwise we attribute to them the vice that is our own. A straight oar looks bent in the water. What matters is not merely that we see the thing, but how we see it.
Morning stroll
Amy thought it’d be a nice idea this morning if we lit out for Ringwood Manor and snapped some pix while the 8am light was going on. She wasn’t happy with her photos, but here’s the first image in the photoset I posted:
The Cokes are in the icebox, the popcorn’s on the table!
In other words, we’re havin’ a party! (of the Super Bowl & Mardi Gras variety)
If you’re interested in coming out to NJ on Sunday, let me know!
