21 Feb 1973 - 21 Feb 2005

Ah, yes...another birthday. One year older, marginally wiser. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Synergy, I believe it's called.

"Yes, the profile has been a little higher than of late but I shudder when I hear the word 'come back'. I don't like to think that I'm back. I've always been here. It implies something about revisiting the past. There's nothing in the past I'd go back for. No reason ever to. As far as I'm aware only Doctor Who can go back in time. "

Doctor Who's back as well, you know.

"Well, of course he's back. He can never go forward, can he?"

Sexiest Man Alive

BikerFox is back with some new photos for the new year. The man CAN NOT BE STOPPED!

Well, as Baxter would say,

"Never be obedient."

LILEKS (James) : Institute: The Peculiar Art of Mr. Frahm

Loose elastic, celery, leering men...these series of pictures have it all. Mr. Frahm had a particular vision that was, at the very least, unique.

My Mom emailed me this link last year...not really sure why.

The "how to have 'dungeons and dragons' themed sex" guide

Back in middle school, we tried to start a D&D club for School Club Day, but were vetoed on the grounds that is was "Satanic". Maybe it DID put a curse on my social life for a couple of years. Heh.

If this were to happen, I would eat my shoe. Live. On pay-per-view.

Update: My shoe is safe now and forever.

Locusts. Delicious, delicious locusts.

THE DIANA-MORRISSEY PHENOMENON

Did Morrissey fortell the death of Princess Diana in his music? Perhaps. My dog Maggie seems to think so. But then again, she'll drink from the toilet if you let her.

The Day Jobs

This is somewhat old news, but deserves a mention. Guthrie's was THE place for my crowd in the late high school-early college days. Some of my friends actually went there for their prom dinner, bringing along a tablecloth and candle for the perfect ambiance. The restaurant's formula (chicken fingers and strangely addictive sauce) was adopted and improved by Zaxby's. The food quality had indeed gone noticeably south the last time I dropped by. Along with the late-90s closing of The Spaghetti Store (where Jen and I went on our first date eleven years ago Friday), Athens has lost two more mediocre but memorable eateries.
