I guess I actually need to make a post with the title of my blog in it after all these years.
Having bad memories you can’t get rid of, try the Death Bear. Yeah. Right out of the LA Times comes a story on this New York City performance artist who has taken his craft to a whole new level. I’m not even sure why I blogged this except it’s pretty damned cool. A shadowy, masked New Yorker relieves people of painful remnants of their pasts: love letters, photos, even underwear. To the man under the giant bear head, it’s performance art.
I have often written about secret menu items, most famously at the legendary In-N-Out burger. Many other establishments have such items, and I remain fascinated by this. The latest article on this topic claims you can get poutine at KFC even though it’s not listed on the menu. Why you’d actually order it is a separate issue entirely. Some of the stuff sounds pretty good and others, not so much. The bickering commentary is lengthy and amusing by various people who claimed they have worked at various establishments and menu item “X” is/isn’t really available. And, to weigh in, gravy is available at local McDonalds in Florida. I’d never purposely ingest it, but it is available.
Reminder: if you find broken links on my blog and report them, I will fix them. I just need a post title or date. I’ve fixed nearly 100 links so far, but there are thousands in this blog, some of which I am sure I’ve missed. Links to images, videos, and internal links most using the old naming convention will be broken. Visitors that follow you will thank you for reporting them because they won’t be broken.
This magic trick is pretty cool. The first minute isn’t so impressive but it gets better and better as it goes. The guy is talented as hell. The only thing I notice is the glass doesn’t sound like glass. I wonder how this is done but am sure it’s some sort of sliding glass contraption. I am impressed nonetheless.

I recommend you click through on this video and watch it at full size. At small size it’s hard to see.
Hell has frozen over. Yeah. Seriously. I’m giving a thumbs up to Bill O’Reilly. No, really. Stop laughing. I’m serious. I agree with the guy. It was bound to happen. The law of averages or something. Anyway, the infamous den of vermin, Westboro Baptist Church, widely hated by liberals and many conservatives protested at yet another funeral service for a dead Marine, causing grief to the family. The family sued Westboro, won, had it overturned on appeal and is now being asked to pay Westboro’s legal expenses. The case hinges on when do your first amendment rights stop. The clear, common-sense answer is when they infringe on someone else’s right. I don’t think there’s a right more important — though unwritten — to able to grieve at the loss of a loved one in peace without some crackpots yelling racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, hate speech at you. Bill O’Reilly earns many brownie points by offering to pony up the legal expenses for the aggrieved family.
“I will pay Mr. Snyder’s obligation. I’m not going to let this injustice stand,” O’Reilly said Wednesday on his show, “The O’Reilly Factor.” “It’s obvious those cranks at Westboro were intentionally trying to hurt Mr. Snyder and his family. In a statement to AOL News, O’Reilly said he feels Snyder is a “victim of judicial injustice.” I agree. Yes, I do. Totally. And as much as I can’t stand O’Reilly, I am totally and completely with him on this. Word.
RIP to John Forsythe who passed away and a belated RIP to Fess Parker who passed away a few weeks ago, and I didn’t even notice it. In news that nobody cares about, I’m still sick and it’s getting worse. I still have no fever but my nose runneth more, my sinus drippeth more, and I cougheth up a lung. I am displeased.
