The recaplet is up: Adventures in Botswana continue as the teams start with a clue hunt that sends Brian and Greg into a spin. From there, they head to a Detour that includes goat-milking and the fine art of carrying stuff on your head. Ron and Kelly bicker their way through the goat-milking, while Lynn digs himself into a controversial hole with a crack about Uchenna and Joyce being “born to” carry things on their heads. Oh, and Rob and Amber are highly functional and work their way into first place again. The Roadblock involves dragging logs and driving through…

Dammit. JUST… dammit. TWOP: “Houston, We Have An Elephant.” Something went horrible-pearsheaped with the Brothers, who weren’t that far behind the two trailing teams at the outset, but went wrong and wandered around aimlessly for a little too long. The editing made it clear that all the preceding teams watched carefully for little yellow-and-red route markers attached to roadside bushes, and the Brothers Awesomeov never remarked “oh, there’s a marker,” so I think they took a wrong turn. As they remarked on discovering their error, “We are idiots.” Where the hell was the damn bunching?? Where the hell was flying…

I suppose you could say this is a culture of death, too. And an unembalmed one, too. And the funeral is not until Friday? Um. Not weak-tummy safe, that last link. But quite useful for watching the next new episodes of CSI:Whichever.

I hate when the terrorists mock us with the annoying “neener neener.”

Within the legal limits: At least one legislator promises to vote against any bills targeting poker houses. "What I know about those clubs is that you are not gambling," said Rep. Greg Hughes, R-Draper, who has played at Big SLC on three occasions, but is obviously uncomfortable talking about it. "I enjoy poker. . . . Recreationally, of course. . . . Within the legal limits," he said between long pauses. The clubs "deserve as little government intervention as any other law-abiding club or group." Former Republican legislator David Zolman plays once a week and ranks in the top 20…

Here are some tips for those ready to begin research into whether this is the car for them. Personal research is all-important because many Ford dealer salespeople are not knowledgable about the FEH. Learn everything you can learn from the ‘official’ hybrid vehicle manufacturer websites such as the Ford Hybrid, Toyota, and Honda websites. This will give you a bit of understanding about what a hybrid is and some assorted terminology. Using browser search tools, find online discussion groups and join in the chatter. There is a wealth of positive and negative information from real people. Note: one of the…

It’s coming: MT3.1.whatever we’re up to now. David will act as in-house geek as usual. So I’m gathering links, because of course successfully installing the upgrade (after suitable backups) is only the beginning. Then it’ll be the endless tweaking of the style sheets, with probably some major overhaulage in the look of things. And that’s… ok.

While reading the excellent journal of ginmar, I ran across this item: CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — Gov. Rod Blagojevich approved an emergency rule Friday requiring pharmacies to fill birth control prescriptions quickly after a Chicago pharmacist refused to fill an order because of moral opposition to the drug. … The Chicago pharmacist was not the first to attract attention for refusing to fill a birth control prescription. In February, a judge recommended that a Roman Catholic pharmacist in Wisconsin be reprimanded and required to attend ethics classes after the pharmacist blocked a woman’s attempt to fill a prescription for birth…

Yeah, so I don’t have a “Beerhunter” category, and besides the kind of beer we like to bring home is pretty sustaining stuff, if not actually chewy. Tonight’s tipple of choice is a new favorite: Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. We found it a couple of weeks ago at the local Binny’s and picked it up on a whim – turns out to be one of our better impulse buys, because at the same time we bought other Young’s products: Waggledance and Oatmeal Stout. From this experience we’ve added a new favorite brewer: Young’s makes good stuff, Maynard. The unique thing…
