Oh no. Will this affect Where Have You Gone Andy Van Slyke? What about Mondesi’s House?
OK, all humor aside, I’m going to be Debbie Downer and get all serious on you for a moment. Downloading content from pirate sights seems like a victimless crime. Hell, I’ve grabbed a song or two in my time. Who is it hurting? Short...

You forfeit your right to be angry...
…when you walk down the street blasting music on your iPod and texting simultaneously and I stiff-arm you. See, unlike a lot of people I’m not going to get out of your way. Shit, next time I might either clothesline or trip you. Consider yourself warned.

Ordered a sack of 100 oysters for my barbecue tomorrow. Got them directly from the oysterman up in Maine. Click through the headline of this post to go to his site. By doing so I avoided the wholesaler he would have otherwise sold them to, as well as the retailer I would have bought them from. This brought the cost of an oyster down to 1.30 apiece (including priority fedex) from typical retail...

Why I love the World Cup
Was trying to hail a cab last night when the fellow who does my dry cleaning walked by. He’s a 50ish Korean fellow, very nice, always sharply dressed. We waved hello and the following conversation ensued:
Me: Hey, you watching the World Cup?
Him: Sorry, what?
Me: The world Cup. The soccer?
Him: I no understand, sorry?
I pantomimed a kicking motion
Me: Football. Korea.
Him:...

What’s next, BP, an official corporate policy of stomping bunny rabbits to death? I have no idea if signing the linked petition will help but it cannot hurt and only takes a minute. I’ve encountered sea turtles swimming in the wild a few times and would love for my children to have the opportunity to do the same someday. They’re basically big, dopey fuckers that just want to...
Stopped here today →
Bought half-gallons of New Pickles and Half-Sours. Also got quarts of Greek and Kalamata Olives. Kicking myself for not getting Green Olives as well. May have to go back. Saturday is going to be a legendary cookout.
Nice that the U.S. pulled it out
But seriously, WTF, FIFA? If your intent was to show me that your sport is more corrupt than pro wrestling and discourage me from following it then job well done.

Working on a summer mix
Putting together a playlist for a BBQ I’m hosting next weekend, so I’m working through my iPOD and selecting all the appropriate songs. Qualifications are that it must reflect summer somehow; either in content, tempo or melody. What a pleasant exercise.

San Patricio Brigade
A little-known footnote to history: A brigade consisting mainly of Irish immigrants to the U.S. fought on the side of Mexico in the Mexican-American War. Bear in mind, these were the poorest of the poor, men who left their country behind to come to America, the land of opportunity. Upon arrival they found prejudice, starvation, and conditions not much better than what they fled back home. ...

Moe is SO stoned!
Took Moe in for a teeth cleaning and they gave him a mild sedative. Brought him home and put him on the bed. His little legs wobbled and he slumped forward on his stomach, then looked at me like “Huh, what?” If I leave him alone he’s going to put on Dark Side of the Moon and order a pizza with extra bacon.
