The kids have arrived over the weekend. I have been kind of busy since then. They are healthy, allergy and loud.

Smart-assed comments to follow later.

Tongue Eating Parasite Found

It eats a fish’s tongue.  And then it replaces the fish’s tongue using it’s own body.  Sort of like Maria Bello in The Mummy 3: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, if you assume that she devoured Rachel Weisz to get the part.

"Quaid! Start the reactor!"

And I’m pretty much done eating sushi forever.

As I mentioned earlier, I got to go to Gen Con a little over a week ago, and stuff went pretty well.

First of all, I got to meet one of my favorite authors and artists, Howard Taylor.  We have spoken to each other online, and I was very shocked to learn he was a fan of my list.

So I have recently decided to take advantage of the very generous new GI Bill.

And it turns out that there are many online universities now, where I can pursue an extra degree from the comfort of my home office, while still leaving me the free time to take care of other things. Like job hunting, working on my game designs, taking care of my pregnant wife, and in the near future, taking care of my new children.
For those that are curious, I am studying Graphic Design, so that I can better make art for my own boardgames….oh and so that I can get a decent creative job while waiting for the Dallas video game industry to recover.

However this means that I may not have as much time to keep up with things on the site.

I’ll still put the Monday morning list update up, and I’ll still make sure to write at least once a week or so. But I may start cutting back/waiting to see if any guest writers want to pick up the slack. (This incidentally, should be interpreted as a hint for any people who are already guest writers who happen to read this)

President Obama appoints Barry White to the US Ambassadorship to Norway.

Evidently people are now getting appointments based entirely on how much fun SNL will have making fun of them.

Here is an example of his previous work in the diplomatic field.

Thanks to Michiel for taking over while I was away.

So I have just just moved back to Dallas.  I was originally planning to write about all of the interesting things I saw on my trip.  But as it turns out, there isn’t a hell of a lot between Dallas and Phoenix.  It’s basically just rocks, dirt and El Paso.

While passing through El Paso I did manage to go through an immigration check point.  All of the INS agents manning the checkpoint were Hispanic.  Which seems like something that you would see in a Carlos Mencia sketch. Assuming of course that some other funnier comedian had made an identical sketch years earlier.

I got to sit in a line for about 40 minutes while cars creeped through one at a time.  When it was my turn an agent approached the car.

I’m waiting on a replacement power supply to arrive. So I still don’t have access to my big pile of list submissions.  Though I did receive a few ideas I didn’t quite get enough to make a post out of.

And so I am taking this opportunity to draw your attention to an important current event.

Michael Jackson will be buried without his brain.

So far I have several theories.
