Yes, I've tried googling, and couldn't find anything. Does anybody know where I can buy a child-sized Chuck E. Cheese constume?

Fuck that. Tell him to walk into Chuck E. Cheese in his Darth Vader costume. Those other no-force-havin'-suckers will wilt to his will.

Where were you last week? KFC's Double Down would not be improved with bread and butter.

Uh...it has the bread and butter built right in already.

And I was in San Diego, petting dolphins and penguins and shit.

The sad thing is that it almost looks enjoyable.

I haven't read this book yet, but it is in my queue, and based on your posts and the Daily Show interview of the guy who wrote it, you would definitely like it:

This discussion has me wondering whether not running on my heels is a factor in why I have never been able to get into distance running. Perhaps I will have to try it.

You are the third person to recommend it.

I am slogging through The Ancestor's Tale right now...

In the future, people are going to talk about the day TM asked the same lame question as Fugee had a week earlier as The Day Thurgreed Officially Jumped The Shark.

I went to the Minnesota State Fair last weekend and thought of you. The local newspaper was giving away bacon-flavored lip balm (Bacon Balm) and I picked up a tube for you. PM me if you want it.

Actually, the latter probably has more to do with this:

But you have the concept right.

I was actually (as a result of this conversation) paying attention to which part of my foot hit the ground first while I was out running with my Team in Training Team this weekend. (Please donate. Link on my facebook page. Or I will pm it to you if you want.) Anyway, without really trying, I seem to land, as Coltrane suggested, on my mid-foot. When I tried to actually hit heel first, it felt really unnatural. And landing toe first gave me a really springy step, but hurt my calves after just a few paces.

Winkers are not targeted at an audience that uses phrases such as "prêt-à-porter couture" in casual internet conversation. The Winkers folks do not hope to capture the "pony-rides-at-the-Four-Seasons" birthday party demographic. You and Hank can get your kids together for a play date at the local modern art museum, and you can snicker together at the rude fat proles shambling off to Chuck E. Cheese in their Winkers while you exchange the latest Cintra Wilson articles. But some of us here are a little more real than all that.
