This weekend, I became possessed--luckily, I'm an ordained minister...I was able to exorcize myself.

Dear Future Ex-Girlfriend,
I thank you for leaving your bra on my bicycle. I've never seen a bra quite like this, but my chops fit nicely through the slits in the cups. We should get to know each other better. To facilitate this, I'll leave my boxers on the handlebars with my phone number written on them.
If you want your bra back, or want to give me more cool stuff...you know where I park.
Talk soon.

With all the heat in the news these days, I figured I'd lend my ear and try to understand the soul of fire.
A foray into uncreative nonfiction resulted in this dry, impressively thick, and dreadful tome. Unpublished Guy incompetently argues that facial hair shaped the modern world.
It's good to have friends.

I won Best Sideburns!
I don't recall the circumstances when or where I bought this photograph. I believe it to be another image of Melville Bates Eaton. According to the reverse side, the children are Evelyn, Carrie, Thaddeus and Oscar. From my notes, I know that Melville had a granddaughter named Carrie Hubbell and a grandson named Thaddeus Hubbell by his daughter, Harriet Roselin Eaton Hubbell. I can't place the other two children --yet! The handwriting on the reverse is comparable to earlier examples I have from this family. A close-up of the man reveals that he has muttonchops. Can't wait to contact the descendants to find out what they think.
My notes indicate that there was 8 years difference in age between Carrie, born 1899, and Thaddeus, born 1907. They must be the older girl on the right rear and the younger boy on the left front.
This is what I would look like if I had white mutton chops. I would have been a great cabinet member in 1880. Perhaps Secretary of um...something domestic. of course women couldn't even vote then much less hold office. Well, mutton chops would have suited me, methinks.
what?!!! please, I mean really, there is no substitute. His competitor and winner definitely had a well grown competitive growth of choppage, but really now. really.

also, see the pictures Eric took of the event! he shoots great pictures too!
This guy is so haughty, dressed in his fine (plastic) fur, stylish (plastic) top hat, garish red (plastic) bow tie, and heavy (plastic) overcoat. Or maybe that's just me stereotyping the tiny little guy because of his mutton chops.

A man and a woman meet for coffee. They don’t know each other, but find themselves sitting at the same table after a couple of bleak emails and a phone call. A canyon of awkward silence lies between their shallow smiles and dodgy eyes. Their thought patterns climb their own private Matterhorns, run out of rum and freeze to death. Their coffee consumption encourages several interior ministers to increase their government’s coffee plantation subsidies. Finally, her toe brushes his leg. The frenzied traders in the country’s mercantile exchanges pause, look at their watches, think about calling their dates and telling them they will be late before the man adjusts his necktie, rubs his eyes and allows his foot to rest on her instep. A man named Clive shoots another man named Dell for no good reason; Clive said he’d found Dell a bore, especially after the incident with the Weimaraner, which involved a sanitation worker everyone called Escalator. The woman ran her toe up the man’s leg till it rested close to home plate. Suddenly the man stood up, turned over his chair, threw his coffee mug at a clerk behind the counter and hurled himself onto a display of decorative glassware. The police were summoned. The Sergeant was a wise man with muttonchops. He had been on the force for many years and only felt regret when he sneezed and realized what a fine internist he would have made. He performed the ceremony. The vows were taken from a gourmet coffee catalog and the Upanishads. There was a lot of shouting, running around and throwing things. Luckily, one of the other patrons always carried a packet of instant rice. Love is full of sweetness and hardship. Frequently, a couple runs out of matches and has to start over with the help of their children and a good appliance salesman. Someone usually has to go into the woods for a pee, for which everyone who knows them is eternally grateful.

This dapper fellow stands in the warm cotton snow of my mother-in-law's winder window display. I have no idea what that is in his hand -- a rock, maybe? Unless that used to be the top of a cane that has broken, I'm going to give this guy a wide berth. (Luckily, he's so small, that's only an inch or two.)

It seems a bit like preaching to the converted over here, but here it goes!

And I drew a word with my Yahoo Bike!:
Meat & mutton everywhere. It’s Eid-ul- Azha, festival of Muslims. After Eid-ul-Fitr this is the second big eid festival of Muslims. Muslims sacrifice animals in the name of Allah. Animals: Goat, sheep, cow and camel.Eid holidays in Pakistan: This time its very sad because only two eid holidays are announced in Pakistan. Friday and Monday. It is not Friday till Monday because Saturday and Sunday are off all over the world. So, this time the spice of eid holidays are less spicy than the previous eid☹Eid is on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Eid celebrations begin before one week in Pakistan. People go to the markets where they buy goat, sheep, cow or camel for qurbani. Then they bring their animals to their home and feed them with leaves and grass so they can stay healthy.Voice of animals: Innocent voices get higher and higher specially on the last night (chand raat) . Some people say they see their death signs. The first day of eid and the time between 8:00 am-11:00 are very cruel because mostly sacrifice goat, sheep, cow or camel in these timings. To kill this time some people sleep to avoid this thing. Some Muslims love this eid and some do not, some love meat and mutton, some hate the smell of it. Lunch & Dinner attractions are mutton pulao, mutton karahi, muttonchops, paye, seekh kabab, mutton boti, mutton biryani, meatballs and drinks (for liberals).Third day of eid, one gets tired of eating for three days.Men, women and children wear their finest clothes for eid.In Pakistan, the rates of these animals get high and high on every eid. Either you can buy a product of apple like ipad or you can buy a cow on this rate. Or you can buy a goat on the rate of apple’s mini ipad ;)In Pakistan, Muslims do qurbani at their home because there is no trend or site for this. SO, the smell of uncooked meat and mutton flies all over the house.My last words on this are that I love meat and mutton.
