Sense And Nonsense: Equal Value
I’m getting my political happy dance on today as I’m sure some of you are.
My bold non-observations:
- Bologna is only edible when fried hard in a pan with a ton of cheese on it.
- I would marry someone who could make me a good crawfish bisque for me and only me on Thursdays. (I lie. I ain’t getting married but I’d tell you I would if you would cook me bisque.)
- California governor Ah-nold hasn’t blinked in three years due to the plastic surgery on his eyes.
- McDonalds’ french fries were much better when they were cooked in transfat animal grease. (Sorry vegetarian friends, but I’m an authority.)
- Coors Light is not beer. It is what it is. I do like to watch the bottle change colors which Klinde and the German showed me one time which was fun. Of course we like beer and cheese and were easily amused at the time by this. Wait, maybe it was just me that was amused. Naaah, it was all of us.
- Although I’m a lib, I like watching Ron Paul in debates.
- Everyone should watch All The President’s Men, Shattered Glass and My Girl Friday if they want to be in journamilism.
- Hot fruit, although a southern delicacy, makes some of us gag. Umm, that would be me. I’m an anti-cobbler advocate as well as, for those of you who have read awhile, anti-jello.
- Varmit suppers are more common than you think.
- I want a new template and my blog on a dedicated server but I don’t know how to do it I’m not sure it would redirect from the wordpress.com thing although I own newscoma.com and use it. At my advanced age, I’m having to school myself. One reason is I want to put javascript on my blog.
- Remember the name Adams Briscoe because he might, indeed, be a genius.
Yeah, I got nothing. Sense and Nonsense … That’s me.
I think someone should write a Jane Austin parody. Barry and I would star in the film.
One of the funniest things I’ve ever read was a piece by Russell Baker from a humor anthology I have at home. Baker’s piece was in response to a story for the New York Times by James Beard, who had won some sort of auction and got to have something like a 10-course meal at this hyper-exclusive restaurant in France. Beard wrote about the feast in great detail, and his original article is included in the anthology in order to help explain Baker’s response.
Baker, then, wrote a parody of Beard’s piece in which he describes, in great culinary detail, the various courses he consumes at home on a weekend afternoon — fried bologna, peanut butter sandwich, Alka-Seltzer and so on. It sounds like an obvious joke, I guess, but Baker (as you might expect) does a brilliant job with it.
You’re anti-cobbler?? You heathen!
Yes, I am.
I’m also considered to be anti-establishment but I think folks are down with that.
But anti-cobbler….
Man, that’s where I get it.
If you want to be a lab rat for me, I’ll help you get your stuff moved over.
I am pro-cobbler but anti-jell-o (just the gelatin) in a big way. I really felt compelled to share that for some reason.
coma, I find that I only disagree with you on cobbler. Except I can’t stand hot cherry. Very anti-jello – even more anti-Jello that has junk suspended in it.
I have an odd effect on people, Jagosaurus.
Jello makes me gag. Hot fruit makes me sorta want to puke.
Sadcox, I’ll be over in fifteen minutes.
Rachel, if all goes well I’ll see you Thursday night. I will not bring jello.
Well, if there is a staple suspended in it, maybe.
Genius?
I’m only as smart as the people I hang out with
Good thing I got you on board, Trace!
Nahh, I’m going with genius. You are making me want to learn.
Thanks for that dude.
As someone who was there and an employee when McDonald’s took their first halting steps away from french fry greatness, I have to say that you are absolutely, positively right. I feel sorry for the younger folks who never knew the awesomeness that was McD’s french fires in the 70’s. They may have been the perfect food.
Bologna is also good on homemade pizza, if you have no other meats around.
Yeah, I got nothing. Sense and Nonsense … That’s me.
I think someone should write a Jane Austin parody. Barry and I would star in the film.
Huh? Are you implying you’re the sense and I’m the nonsense? What’d I ever do to you?
No, I was thinking it was sort of different. To tell the truth, Barry. I saw that on my horoscope this a.m. and it made m laugh.
I am anti-jello and anti-jane-austen.
I am pro-cobbler and pro-’coma, even when she’s anti-cobbler, which is hard to fathom. It doesn’t qualify as fruit once it’s been sugared up and reduced to rich, vaguely-reminiscent-of-fruit goodness. And the fruit’s not the point anyway. It’s just another excuse for southerners to heap on the butter, white sugar, and white flour.
I want a new template and my blog on a dedicated server but I don’t know how to do it
You have the newscoma.com domain, but do you have a hosting service to put your site on. If not, the best you’ll be able to do is redirect to newscoma.wordpress.com which does not allow you to edit the template.
If you don’t already have it, you need to get a hosting service with PHP and MySQL (most will have it, but just check with them first). It will cost you a little bit, but not too bad. I use GoDaddy.com and am hosted for $3.99 a month.
Once you have a host, you can download WordPress from wordpress.ORG for free. Then install it on your server. That’s probably the hardest part, but it’s still a pretty easy installation. If you don’t want to do that, there are apparently people out there who will install it for free (never used them but recall seeing them linked from the wordpress site). You should be able to transfer all your old posts over to your new site at this point (if you want).
After that you can either start designing your template from scratch (if you have good HTML and CSS skills, and preferably a few PHP skills), find one of the many themes already available out there or hire someone to design a custom one for you.
Dolphin,
I swear I adore you. THANKS!!!
I stand by you on the Hot Fruit.
I love cobbler, but I don’t like it hot. Don’t like hot pie either. Blech.
Room temp cobbler with whipped cream though…. Mmmmmm.
Who the hell doesn’t like Jello?
No problem. If you have any questions along the way, shoot me an email.
