MATT MILLEN FINED $200G

My beloved wife and my favorite mother-in-law (I have two) hadn't heard about the above-mentioned story. So, in the interest of entertainment, I'll just link to the ScrappleFace satire on the subject, wherein a link the the actual story can be found.

MY KINDA CHEESE

Being very currency oriented, I must say that if I were ever going to open my own cheese shop, this product would be the special every day. (via CotV#44 and thanks to Greg at My Life as a Fisher)

GET IT WHILE IT’S HOT

 

While in the Navy, my least favorite question was, “So, what do you do on the Enterprise?”. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to vent on the topic, it’s just that there’s honestly no normal, everyday, civilian equivalent in terms of which to describe the experience. I worked in the engineering spaces, which equates vaguely to “somewhere under the hood of the car”. It was hot, noisy, hot, smelly, hot, dirty, and hot.

 

Did I mention the hot part?

 

The closest I could get was in one letter home to my girl, with something along the lines of, “You’re in Arizona, it’s August, you have no air conditioning. You run upstairs, look at a couple dozen thermometers & write down the readings. You run downstairs & do the same. Repeat twice an hour for four hours, remembering to add in the smells of hot metal, hot oil, and the reek of your own foul sweat.”

 

For his part, LT Smash does a much better job of describing life in the Iraqi sandbox, and even the most pampered civilian will come away feeling amused, educated, and, most of all, grateful that it’s not their job. Go read.

GEM IN THE NEW BLOG SHOWCASE

Via the New Blog Showcase comes this beautiful piece from Matt at Blackfive. First, a bit of light criticism, in that the setup is overly long, and the first part probably should've been in a separate post and shortly summarized before the more relevant part of the story. However, this in no manner takes away from the pants-wetting funniness of the pay-off line, and I still recommend it as a must-read for anyone who has less-than-favorable feelings about the French.

Drink Alert in effect.

WHA?

Granted, I don't know the gritty inner workings of Google, but how the hell did my blog get hit during the search for "cover of Playgirl july 2003"?
