I just read a semi-rad article.

It was about 2 guys with British herpes and a love of Miller Lite.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

It would be so awesome if Mike Vick gets benched and the Eagles go on a torrid winning streak.

According to a voicemail I just heard on my office line, the Elkhorn Inn, where I'll be enjoying the next month and a half in West Virginia for work, has substantial snow damage from Sandy.  They cannot assure me that they'll have the damage fixed in time.

Thus, it may be back to the Hampton Inn for me.

DAMN YOU SANDY!!!
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

I got a bunch of people to flip off the NHL on Twitter yesterday.

Last night our neighbor gave out glow bracelets to trick or treaters.  One to each kid.  She gave out 1530 bracelets.  Many kids were accompanied by parents so the crowd was around 3000 or more.  Most folks had around 1200 pieces of candy and ran out around 7:45.  Mrs. Cubbieblue and I sneaked away at 5:45 and spent the next three and a half hours at a restaurant. 
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

That's just fucking ridiculous.  Are kids going on ten-mile candy yomps now, or what?

You think fat, lazy, entitled American kids can/will walk 10 miles for anything?

Well, we took our kids out last night, called at a dozen or so houses on our street, filled a small bag of sweets for them each, and went home.  They had a lovely time.  If you're giving out over a thousand pieces of candy within a couple of hours, that's got to be every kid within a mile in every direction of your front door and that's way, way, way beyond a bit of fun.  That's industrial candy collection.  What's the fucking point?

I ran away from Amy Goodman in Freeport, IL yesterday when she asked to speak with me.  She's a scary woman.

On halloween when my kids were younger we used haul around a red wagon with a large cooler in it filled with beer. Joined by other families doing the same and we'd make it around the neighborhood participating in "Trick or Beer". The amount of candy the kids collected was a somewhat secondary concern.
