Lemme tellya, looking out the window right now and seeing frosty ice crystals all over my lawn is blowjhinski. I've had about enough of winter, and after the balmy climes of Spumoni I just ain't in the mood for this.
March goes out like a lamb, my ass.
And speaking of lamb, we cooked some fish last week. Here's a picture of Iron Chef Mostaccioli taking care of business. Those tuna steaks in the foreground got seared nicely -- even moreso when the cedar plank under the salmon burst into flames. All of which served the greater culinary good.
Back here at Berea-Rose, the chimps were watching a teen choice award show on a kids' network. I had considered kicking them off the TV so I could watch "Cops" or "World's Dumbest" but relented -- hey, at least this stuff was geared toward kids, right?
What crap -- it was all a bunch of enviro-crazed agitprop. As part of one "celebrity" introduction, they showed him posed with Algore while the announcer cooed that "he even drives an electric car!" After a few more minutes of "let's all save the planet" horseshit I made the executive decision: the TV goes off.
And it won't be turned on again until Thursday night. When we watch the next episode of "Smoking Gun Presents World's Dumbest." As a family.
Yeah, the boys will pick up bad humor from uncouth commentators -- but at least they won't be enlisted in a mindless (and increasingly annoying) cult of green.
Me? I like news for its entertainment value. So does writer James Lileks, who tweets: "Maybe I’m old-school, but 'President fires CEO' looks as wrong as 'Pope fires Missile.' Does not compute." Hey Lileks, it's a Brave New World out there!
