regressing toward the mean

if you live in the okc area and don't watch the 10 o'clock news broadcasts, you are really missing out on some fantastic comedy. doesn't really matter which channel, though i think that channels 4 (nbc) and 5 (abc) are the best. tonight's leading story on channel 5 opened with a graphic of a map of okc and the words "pizza delivery man assaulted."

and now, what i consider a wonderfully insightful comment from tc:

"The best part about academic writing is that you don't have to commit to anything with a skillfully worded sentence."

indeed, my friend, indeed.

damn i'm bored

while reading comments on alt's blog, the point was made that pointless images and listless stories rarely elicit the same response as "abrasive, crude, and often personally attacking" the "big issues" of life and religion (especially Christianity, or the whatever it is we have now).

but, lo and behold, there is hope for those of you who (1) have meaningless, petty blogs with no readers, or (2)have meaningless, petty lives in which you only read my blog. your hope can be found on amazon in the form of a book entitled Blogging: Genius Strategies for Instant Web Content.

interestingly enough, i found the book on a blog dedicated to festivus. man i love seinfeld.

happy thanksgiving, suckers.

R.I.P.

at long last, sam, three-time winner of the world's ugliest dog contest, has passed on to the ugly dog afterlife. in honor of this crispy little guy's blessed demise, again the picture of sam that i posted in july:
/can i get a side of ranch, please?
