Banana Phone

My crossword puzzle this morning had the clue, "Bananaphone" artist. I was reminded of the flash animation. If it is now stuck in my head, I must inflict it on you. I can't find a way to embed the flash file, but here is a version on YouTube.

Serenity On Its Way to ISS

Browncoats at NASA. (h/t Curmudgeons Corner)

I was late to the Firefly phenomenon. Friends kept mentioning it, but I didn't have time to watch. Then Serenity came out and Firefly was back. I didn't make it to the theater but finally added Firefly to my Netflix queue. I kicked myself for waiting so long. A great series, as those who love it already know.

Clarify Some Lyrics

Heard Everlast's What It's Like on the radio today and decided to help him with his lyrics.

The original version:
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls."
And then she heads for the clinic and
she gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
My update:
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "God damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls."
And then she heads for the clinic and
she gets some static walking through the door
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner
and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose whether or not to kill your child


There's a lot of talk about choice without telling people what the choices are. The choice is whether or not you are going to end the life of your child.

Goodbye Dave

One of my favorite sites and featured in my blogroll is calling it quits. Sure, he's done it before and returned, but this time it sounds as though it is for real.

I was an infrequent commenter there and doubt I contributed anything. Garfield Ridge was one of the sites I checked most mornings as I started the day. It was always a pleasure. Fare thee well Dave.

Those Eyes

The old saying is that the eyes are the window to the soul. Well gaze deep here.


Mythbusters recently had an episode dealing with ninja myths. During the introduction scene Kari, Tory, and Grant jumped out of the shadows in their ninja gear to confront Jamie and Adam. With only her eyes showing, Kari's beauty still shown through. Maybe there is something to the reason behind the burqa.
