Dastardly Squash

Tuesday, Apr. 27, 2010 - 12:49 a.m.

My copy of Mr Bear Squash-You-All-Flat got here last night and John opened the package for me.

And for the next quarter hour or so, I was five years old again.

I'm catching some curling reruns late at night on NBC Universal Sports.

The Skip for one of the US men's teams, Pete Fenson, has grown a goatee.

Now he looks like Dastardly Pete Fenson, who will only relinquish the mortage if the pretty young thing agrees to marry him.

But hey, I'll get used to it. He's still a hell of a great player!

Arizona: Okay, folks, if you don't like what Arizona did, don't purchase anything from there.

If you like what they did, then go out of your way to give them money.

I think something is in the water out there.

Oh look, Mount Ararat has made the news again.

I'd like to kick the ass of the idiot who wrote the piece, though:

The biblical story says God decided to flood the earth after seeing how corrupt it had become, and told Noah to build an ark and fill it with two of every animal species.

Well, no, not every animal. Some were allowed in by sevens, which anybody can LOOK UP for themselves in the sixth chapter of Genesis.

How about researching things before you write something in the damn newspaper?

Cultural inertia will get the best of us yet.

All right, that's it. Have a good Tuesday.
