Virgins for Martyrs

Posted by zhx on September 12th, 2007 filed in All, Religion/Politics

Welcome to my first in-flight blog. Of course, I can’t post it til I’ve landed, but this has all been written entirely in the air. You’re amazed.
So I was sitting in Denver International’s food court enjoying a bagel and iced coffee on September 12th, the five year anniversary of “the day after”, and got to [...]

Lazy Man’s Philanthropy

Posted by zhx on September 9th, 2007 filed in All, Religion/Politics

Stop Hunger!
Stop Breast Cancer!
Something About Children! Who Doesn’t Like Children?!
Make Learning More Gooder!
Make Sure Animals Aren’t Euthanized Hungry!
Stop Save the Rainforest!
Whether or not these sites actually work, it sure helps to justify not getting off your lazy American ass all day when you can click a button and read a message that says “You have [...]

Oh, huh. Dane Cook is a Douchebag

Posted by zhx on September 8th, 2007 filed in All, Religion/Politics

I always knew Dane Cook was a substandard comedian, and I was aware he totally schmoozes his audience/fans to revolting levels, but I had no idea he was also a total dumbass as well. I won’t get into Dane Cook’s performance style much, because he is heavily criticized elsewhere (normally by his comedian peers). If [...]

Photo

Came across this in my Lightroom database, taken way back in May. Edited the colors a bit but no other alteration. Like all of my photos, I will probably hate this tomorrow, but for now I like it.

Continuing my recent trend of creating portmanteaus to describe concepts for which regular words just don’t cut the cheese, I came up with a new word today for a complex I’ve observed. Again, a Google search produced no results, so though this word is my creation, I am releasing it into the public domain. Cuz [...]

A Toot and a Snore in ‘74

Posted by zhx on September 4th, 2007 filed in All, Music

I came across a blog last night (which I can’t seem to find the link to now) that introduced me to the Lennon/McCartney bootleg A Toot and a Snore in ‘74. Forgive me for not having heard about it before, but in case you’re unfamiliar as well, it is an extremely rare bootleg of John [...]

Sara Lee Roast Beef

Posted by zhx on September 4th, 2007 filed in All, Randomness

So I have this container of Sara Lee thin-sliced roast beef in really inefficient packaging, and I was making myself a sandwich when I glanced at the label which reads, cryptically:
“Contains up to 10% of a Solution”
…what?
Anyway, I am happy to report that whatever this mystery solution is, when combined with 90% roast beef, it [...]
