Five Books Meme ::Sigh::
1. One book that changed your life: To all you cheats, no…not the Bible. That’s an omnibus with sixty six (or so) volumes in one. That being said, I’ll have to go with Romans. It gave me a full picture of my depravity, the need of a savior, my inability to work to merit salvation,…

Links N’ Junk 5
Apple: I’ve long said that Apple’s OS software and computer are woefully flawed. But I’ve also been preaching the gospel of the iPod. The iProducts is probably the most powerful contribution that Apple is offering to enter-tech. That being said, maybe the iPhone is more than a dream. Art: I love and hate great designers.…

Smurfs vs Hobbits
Recently MCF posited a scenario: Smurfs vs. Hobbits. After several submitted articles across a very small corner of the blogosphere, the results came in with most voting for Hobbits due to their size. Many would say “they can crush the smurf, forthwith.” MCF on the other hand stood with the Smurfs and pointed out that…

Match Point
Any reader of MCF’s site will immediately become aware of a passive paranoia and an actively nourished neuroticism. It makes his nick of the world wide web all the more entertaining and thus has us seeking for more. He’s great, he’s incredibly funny and always engaging—and it’s always great to see him turn red under…

MCF’s Blog Party: Returns
MCF asked “What are the best things in your life that have returned?” for his blog party. Well, Jesus didn’t come back yet though I’m waiting. I never had a pet that could get lost to begin with: fish seldom run away from bowls. The books that people have borrowed remain borrowed. I haven’t even…

The Best At What I Do, Bub
I readily admit that posting this makes this unabashedly a blog; my shame. Ah well, here goes: You scored as Wolverine. Wolverine is a loner, and a skilled fighter. He’s got the hots for Jean Grey but a better fit for him would be Storm. He doesn’t like to follow orders which pisses Cyclops off.…

Pictures of Dogwood Battlefield
The Tranquil Dogwood Tree: Note the unmowed square plot of lawn immediately beneath the tree. Sy Triumphant: Armed with bat and ready to do battle. Momma Bird exceedingly nervous. Probably a picture during my running. Of course, I couldn’t capture any pictures of the baby bird lest I would suffer a huge pecking attack. From…

The Battle of Dogwood Tree or Robin-Home Defense
June 1863: General Robert E. Lee, upon receiving news that Federal forces were in Frederick (Maryland), ordered the Confederate Army to come down from Blue Ridge Mountains to meet the Feds in battle. On June 30th, Lee’s recon forces discover that Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) is already occupied by Brigadier General John Buford’s cavalry, dismounted, frightened, resolved…

McFAT Monday
What were some of your scariest vehicular experiences, either behind the wheel or as a passenger? The frost after the Blizzard of ’96 left the roads in a treacherous condition. I was driving in my old 71 Benz (dubbed Ugly) up towards Cypress Avenue in Brooklyn. Anyone who knows the area would tell you that…
