I'm Not Dead
Although quick perusals of Facebook and Twitter make me wish it were so.
Man may be a social animal by nature, but that is only because communion with one's brethren offers the opportunity to steal from them. A man in a cave is merely a man in a cave. But a man in a community, why, he can rummage another man's cave. Mr. President.
Here endeth my obsequious reach around to the "undecided" voter. They call them "moderates" now. In a more martial era, when a person was afraid to put their politics, and feelings, and fists on the line, they were known as "quivering pussies." Not to be confused, of course, with quivering pussies. Ahem.
There is no more hemming and hawing, my fey little friends. You can remove your finger from your perplexed, pursed little lips. Dies will be cast. Yours among them. You can either cast yours for the Dark Lord Sauron, or for the nice little conservative hobbits. And, trust me, I understand your fear. Nice little hobbits win battles, but their shire is still scoured. Perhaps better not to have the IRS on one's ass. You know the quote: first they came for the Muslims, but I did nothing, because I wasn't beheading innocent people...
You can fill in the rest.
Anyway, I ain't dead. I'm just wearing Maria Bello's ridiculously ghastly Trilby hat from Prime Suspect, trying to locate Vanderleun.
Also: very few men can wear a Trilby. Sean Connery, and perhaps Christopher Plummer. The rest of us must wear pork pies. It is our station.
Trilbys are great headgear. For me it's the old trad wide-brim fedora or nothing.

Posted by: Captain Jerry at July 17, 2012 2:14 AMI just wanted someplace to stick the url of a new website I'm making for some capitalists in China. I will try hard to make it less of whatever is causing the crapitude you'll see if you look. You won't.
This place gets a lot crawlers, right?
Posted by: Kevin Copple at July 17, 2012 10:30 AMKevin, your English is entirely too comprehensible on that site. No one will believe that is a real Chinese company. Run it through an English to Chinese translator and back again. That should do the trick.

Posted by: PeggyU at July 17, 2012 12:13 PMYeah, there's not much inspiration out there. I get all the drama I need at work. Plus I sold the sailboat. *sigh*
Where in the world IS Vanderleun?
Posted by: Joan of Argghh! at July 17, 2012 12:48 PMHell I was planning a Viking Funeral for you too. Found a old birch canoe on ebay for cheap. I figured we would fill it with cheap liquor and shoot roman candles at it.
Also, would you like us to tie a black dwarf or two in with you as servants in the afterlife?
Posted by: JohnB at July 18, 2012 7:00 AM... strangely enough, I was given a 1945 era Trilby for Christmas last year........
Posted by: Eric at July 18, 2012 9:48 PMWTF, you can't have a Viking funeral with a canoe, maybe a redneck funeral though. You need a longboat, and stoic henchmen to push it out to sea.
