not a post, but a fun filled day at the beach or anecdotally speaking

i'm missing in action, i know. it's been more than a bit hectic around here, in fact, it's been a real FUBAR* situation. the MITM is closing a monumental deal that has him up at halfpastdark every day and working until can'tseeatnight. now, everyone who's ever had their own business or worked for a small company knows what i'm talking about. i've been his executive assistant, editor, mind-reader, gate-keeper, chief cook and bottle washer, not to mention, driver, hit man (no that hasn't been proven and i have an alibi for that night anyway), but i digress, so, where was i? 

oh yes...

things to share as i've been killing time between gigs (don't tell the boss) because i have nothing appropriate to post about right now...and you KNOW you'll hear the inappropriate stuff eventually.

the euphemism generator

the verdant dude's you don't know jack contest! go vote...or look, it's up to you.

things muslims wear via big barney who was in the wedding of the captain and the girl. i think i posted his pic, but i might not have.

margaret and helen. if you don't read them, you should.

 i don't have anything else, but i will probably be adding to this all day because i'm stuck at the table (yeah, i can't even begin to call it a desk) all day.


*FUBAR = fucked up beyond all recognition (WW2 expression)

i almost forgot some funny comics hat tip to mr.moose who's taking a bit of a blogging break right now.

for saturday in d.c.

the event is scheduled to begin at Noon, on the national mall in washing, d.c. or, if like me, you can't get to d.c. this weekend, you can watch it live on comedy central online.

last thing before i melt into the sofa:

can't keep a bad idea down from the nyt some commentary from thomas l. friedman. it's not long, but give it a read before you vote on nov. 2.
