until just now, I thought phatj was phdave, because I thought phatj's avatar was phdave's avatar.

before phatj changed his avatar, I knew he was phatj. Mainly, it was the posset dribbled all over his posts.

Wow, and there was me thinking irish mythology was staid next to Journey to the west or some of that crazy indian stuff.

But no, a random impulse led me to look up An Tain, and it turns out that this classic tale of fighting and bull rustling has backstory for the two bulls involved which I'd never heard of before. Turns out the two bulls which cause all the trouble were in a previous life pig handlers who had a massive argument, then started kicking crap out of each other, then proceeded to shape change whilst kicking crap out of each other, and they both turned into worms and got eaten by cows and ended up being reborn as awesomely fertile bulls. then one bull doesn't like being in queen maeve's herd because it doesn't feel it's getting enough respect, so it goes to her hubby's herd, and he's a bit of a wimp and she's not, so in a desperate attempt to show her up, he gets into an argument about who has the more money, and he wins cause of the awesome stud bull, and queen maeve is pissed off so she goes and steals the other former pig handler from the king of ulster, which doesn't go well because Cú Chulainn at the tender age of seventeen or something and nearly kicks the crap out of her entire army.

I feel this compares favourably to the monkey king taking a wee behind one of buddha's fingers. I always loved that story.

Got an email from a girl with a nice spot in the marina for 1200. I told her I'd take it without a viewing. One person who got a hold of her before me is looking at the place tonight, if they don't take it I'm golden.

Ugh....I guess I'm going to have to sweat this out all weekend long. God damn background check.

Not that the 10:45 alarm is going to be a struggle, but why the hell are we playing at 11 tomorrow? Glad I don't still live in DC/have season tickets.

•A caudle is a hot drink, popular in the Middle Ages for its supposed medicinal properties. The OED cites the use of the word to 1297. The earliest surviving recipe, from 1300-1325, is simply a list of ingredients: wine, wheat starch, raisins, and sugar to "abate the strength of the wine"

posset also used to describe sicked up milk and other random baby dribbleness.

I have felt a strong affinity with phatj ever since his memorable post about baby poop.

It occurred to me yesterday that President Richard Nixon, Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky and "Battlestar Galactica" Admiral William Adama were all referred to by their subordinates as "the Old Man." I think this is an informal title to which I now aspire, at whatever point I'm old/elevated enough to merit it.
