John Calvin and his (not so) damned elect have much to answer for. But it does make for a good novel.

You have to admit, though, the Ranters were pretty cool.

I think Gus Johnson would be hilarious as a baseball (particularly MLB) announcer. "Here's Hamels' pitch...STRIKE THREE! AND THAT'S THE SECOND OUT OF THIS FIRST INNING!"

A few days before Jack married Wendy, he had her name tattooed on his penis to show her how much he loved her. When erect, the name was fully visible; but when deflated, it read "Wy". Wendy was delighted with Jack's "special emblem of devotion."

After the ceremony, they went to Jamaica on their honeymoon. Their hotel had two beaches, one traditional and one nudist. After two days of the traditional beach, Wendy suggested visiting the clothing-optional beach.

As Wendy lay on her towel in the hot sun, she asked Jack if he'd bring her a cold drink. He walked across the sand to the little hut and asked the bartender, who was also naked, for two frozen mixed drinks. Jack tried not to stare, but he noticed that the bartender had "Wy" tattooed on his penis.

"Hey", Jack said and smiled, "What a coincidence. Your girlfriend must also be named Wendy."

"Oh no, mon," the bartender said and laughed, "Mine say 'Welcome to Jamaica. Enjoy your stay.'"

Hello, I've got this painting at home and the signature looks like it says A. Firrari. I assume he's a famous Renaissance master and that the painting is worth millions. What can you tell me about him?

Is this a call you got? Or do you really have this painting?

The middle sentence is embellished, but I get variations of that question at least once a week. Everyone is surprised when the work they've had for like a whole generation or two is no big deal.

Do you ever play them--you know, like ask "how big is it? What colors do you see, hmm. yes, the bluish green ones are desirable...."

One time, I aspired to own a painting by Corot, but I've given up on that.

my dog had a seizure about 2 hours ago. she's fine now, but i spent about 2 hours talking with a vet about what to do.


anyway, if you're ever around an animal (or human) that's seizing, performing a heimlich maneuver is not a good idea.

We always try to help them as much as we can.

I like Corot.

Being really pissed off has morphed into being really pissed off with a terrible headache.

i hear a tobasco enema really helps out as a headache cure.

My headache is all better. 1 part ibuprofen, 2 parts bottom of the 7th for the cure.

I poured Evan before the 7th started, first of the season
