I Feel Better Now

You know, as a blogger, you’re just not sure if you’re reaching anyone unless you get some negative feedback from time to time.

I received an email this afternoon from one “Chris Carlsen” – no subject line, just two sentences of missive and a sigline:

Your(sic), sir, are a fucking idiot.  Good day.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty,–that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.” Ode on a Grecian Urn, 49-50.

I replied:

Good to know you care!  Don’t be a stranger.  Keep in touch.

Kevin

I have no idea just what offended him enough to fire off, but hey, I must be doing something right!

Doggerel

Jim of the blog Smoke on the Water (where he doesn’t post much these days) has re-written the lyrics to that classic ditty How Much is That Doggie in the Window? and has allowed me to premier it here first at TSM:

How much is that doggie on the menu? (arf! arf!)
The one with the chicken-fried-tail
How much is that doggie on the menu? (arf! arf!)
I loves me a fried doggie tail
On Air Force One to Indonesia
Vacationing far from my home
But they’ll serve me dog, yes I’ll eat some
I’ll chew it clear down to the bone
How much is that doggie on the menu? (arf! arf!)
The one with the chicken-fried-tail
How much is that doggie on the menu? (arf! arf!)
I loves me a fried doggie tail
I know that my party are robbers
Who love to keep folks in the dark
So I’ll have me a plate of some doggie
Halal or haraam but no bark
Don’t fry me a bunny or kitty
I don’t want a bird in a wok
I don’t want a plate full of fishies
I just want some fried dog, not dog talk
How much is that doggie on the menu? (arf! arf!)
The one with the chicken-fried-tail
How much is that doggie on the menu? (arf! arf!)
I loves me a fried doggie tail

Don’t blame me, I’m just the messenger!

Quote of the Day – Robin Williams Edition

Propofol, which nickname is “Milk of Amnesia.”  Michael Jackson was taking Propofol to sleep, which is like doing chemotherapy because you’re tired of shaving your head.

I woke up from my heart surgery after propofol – I had the surgery in Cleveland – after propofol I woke up from the surgery and said “Where am I?” and they went “Cleveland!” and I went, WHY?

Seen here.

UPDATE:  8/11/14 – And Robin Williams has left us. Dammit.
