But no sex tape, thank goodness.
It’s a quiet night at the Zoo. Order up a drink, grab a handful of Twiglets, and relax.
What’s on your mind…?

What are Twiglets?
November 14, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Sort of pretzel snacks.

I really have the knack the last few days of arriving here and on TP when there is either no one around, or very few. *sigh*
November 14, 2009 at 6:49 pm
What have you been up to all day?

I had to write an introduction for my research proposal — basically writing another research paper. Pain in the ass, I tell ya.
Thank goodness I have a partner on this one.

But productive time spent.
I never plan to do anything on Saturdays from Labor Day through Thanksgiving, because I know there will be college football.
Bama gave me an early break tonight, with a 48 yard TD pass and 70 yard TD run on the last two possessions. It’s 31-3 and less than 6 minutes left.
I’ve turned my attention to Auburn at Georgia now. It’s tied in the 4th quarter.

Zooey,
John McCain or Sarah Palin?

I planned to do this last night, but I agreed to do a 2-hour favor for a friend that turned out to be a 6-hour favor. I was too pissed off and exhausted to work on it then.

No Walt, I got a smart person.

Although not quite cesspool related it may bring a smile:
Texas man drives million-dollar Bugatti into pond; blames bird
LA MARQUE, Texas — Police say a low-flying pelican distracted a driver in Texas, causing him to veer off a road and drive his million-dollar sports car into a salt marsh.
La Marque police Lt. Greg Gilchrist says the man claimed he lost concentration while driving his French-built Bugatti Veyron on Wednesday because the bird swooped into sight. Gilchrist says the driver dropped his phone, reached down to pick it up and strayed into the brackish water in La Marque, about 35 miles southeast of Houston.
Gilchrist does not know if the car can be salvaged but conceded that “salt water isn’t good for anything.”
He says the man, whose identity has not been released, was not injured in the accident.

What about the bird? Is it ok?
Nice to see you, Ebbandflow.
November 14, 2009 at 7:14 pm
A million dollar car should be track driven only. He lost control because he was fooling with his cell phone, not because of a bird.

I’ve seen three of these scenes today. A player laying on the ground being strapped onto a back board and lifted onto a gurney because of a really hard hit. They need to completely redesign football helmets, and they need the racing helmet makers to help them to reduce these concussions.

Howdy Zoolings! Leave it to me to show up for a pool party with nothing but a bathing cap with hot pink rubber flowers…
I know, I know, I’ve been gone for so long, but I’ve been trying to figure out how to eke out a living in healthcare while Washington continues to play games. Seems we’ll be relocating to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the very near future…
I hope that all is well with all you good folks here at the Zoo, and to make up for lost time, I’d like buy my friends a round. In fact, please allow me to pick up the entire tab for this evening’s festivities! Do indulge me in my virtual largesse.

Palin’s latest attack on the rule of law (TP) reminds me of Lucy van Pelt:
“Do you know what I intend? I intend to be a queen. When I grow up I’m going to be the biggest queen there ever was, and I’ll live in a big palace and when I go out in my coach, all the people will wave and I will shout at them, and…and…in the summertime I will go to my summer palace and I’ll wear my crown in swimming and everything, and all the peo ple will cheer and I will shout at them… What do you mean I can’t be queen? Nobody should be kept from being a queen if she wants to be one. It’s usually just a matter of knowing the right people.. ..well…. if I can’t be a queen, then I’ll be very rich then I will buy myself a queendom. Yes, I will buy myself a queendom and then I’ll kick out the old queen and take over the whole operation myself. I will be head queen.”

Zoomeister – whatcha researching?

Lapel Pin.
Lincoln’s not wearing one.
He must not be a true patriot.
Besides, didn’t we end up in a bloody civil war on his watch? What is it with these Republicans and war, anyway?
November 14, 2009 at 8:53 pm
KHANNNN!!!
November 14, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Palin and Lucy Van Pelt. Sorry, I like Lucy….

I have never had eleven point two ounces of anything affect me quite like this before. Even Boonesfarm didn’t do this!
November 14, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Y’all should have stuck around. I’m plastered and I still have half a bottle to go!
Belgian Ale ROCKS!
November 14, 2009 at 10:40 pm
Please say you’re talking about beer…
November 14, 2009 at 10:46 pm
Belgian Ale ROCKS!
I can barely type, Zooey.
Calling this beer is a disservice!
This is ambrosia! I calculated the cost, and it’s no worse than Newcastle, but with less than half the restroom trips.
November 14, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Is that the newly legal, highly dangerous, more cost efficient beer, House?
November 14, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I find that I type better when I’m sort of sloshed.
November 14, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Oh yeah!
The donker was a bit fruity, and the triple may have been a bit old, according to the date. I’ll watch that on my next purchase. But the kick is serious!
It’s priced higher than traditional beer, but the store didn’t calculate their single price to match their 4-pack price. 4 singles were less than a 4 pack. $2.89 x 4 versus $14.29 a 4-pack. But I just wanted to try the stuff enough to find some favorites.
November 14, 2009 at 11:03 pm
Heh, sounds like you’re having fun. Pace yourself!

Jon Stewart responds to Hannity’s apology about using 9/12 footage — by mistake!
Hilarious.
November 14, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Too late!
I only had two bottles and they are gone. These are called “shorties”. 11.2 ounces each. I believe I have had between four and five regular beers in 22.4 ounces. Very quick effect! I tried to sip slowly, but it didn’t matter much.
I read about 750 ml bottles in a review, I couldn’t handle two of those in one evening.
November 14, 2009 at 11:22 pm
gummitch will be so proud.
I guess I better be off to bed. Early morning tomorrow.
Enjoy!
November 14, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Tomorrow? is Sunday? Early?
Good night.
The Jon Stewart clip IS funny.

Sorry, girl du jour. I found you in the spam bin!
November 15, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Sorry I missed you, Mom! Keep us posted on your progress.

Quite alright. Too bad they don’t have a category for “honey ham with peas and pearl onion bin”.
It would be much tastier.
November 16, 2009 at 2:40 pm
I’d certainly spend more time there…
