They're everywhere!

Loyal Readers®,

Many of you have heard of Snakes on a Plane. I find the best part of the trailer for this movie is the scene in which one of the Evil Snakes exacts revenge on a cat who has the audacity to hiss at it. Brilliant!

Well, as if the snake's infiltration into the airlines were not enough, it seems they have also infiltrated our rental cars. It is plain to see that snakes are intent on coming to a vacation spot near you. This intent is facilitated by the heavy summer travel season during which said Evil Snakes can more readily expand their influence through the increased taffic on our mass transit system.

Obviously, the Evil Snakes are watching us. Beware how you treat our reptilian friends because they are making moves towards world domination.

Solemnly,
-TT

GGGOOOOOOOLLLLLLLL!!!

Today, the soccer world mourns the death of Angel Fernandez. If you have ever listened to a soccer broadcast in Spanish or laughed at a Simpsons episode, you have been touched by this man. Fernandez was nicknamed Pulmones de hierro (Spanish for Iron Lungs) because of his unique ability to shout "GOL!" for a prolonged period. More than that, however, Fernandez possessed the ability to make even a mundane soccer game come alive through his fabulous descriptions of the action. Because of him, I will watch most of the World Cup on Telemundo this year. The game just sounds so much better in Spanish.

RIP Iron Lungs.

You know you want one

Surprises

Yesterday, I came home after a long night of Ultimate and pimpin' out my tournament to find a large plate of brownies waiting in the kitchen. They were fresh and had walnuts in them. Personally, I am a dark chocolate and cinnamon fan. However, it is difficult to complain with the prospect of free brownies staring you in the face. MMM...brownies.

Memories

Ceylon Tea

1 tablespoon Ceylon tea
8-10 ounces filtered water
1/2-1 teaspoon sugar
A small bit of cream (or milk)

Boil the water, steep the tea for two minutes. Add suger and stir in cream.


Sometimes just a little bit reminds you that it's all good.

The real threat to our Nation's children...

Yes, Loyal Readers®, apparently that threat is S-E-X.

The abstinence advocates in this world have created creepy Purity Balls to further protect their kids from the evil S-E-X. Never mind that these rituals are aimed only at father-daughter combos (Boys must be protectors and don't have to worry about purity. Girls, you're all about the purity) but abstinence pledges and the like are ridiculous to begin with. As noted here, they simply don't work.

We have all learned that Prohibition does not work. If we don't talk about it and make S-E-X out to be the "BIG EVIL", guess what, the kids will want to do it more! Now, I am definitely an advocate of good sexual health and smart sexual choices. Really, I believe that all parents should arm their children with the knowledge to make smart choices regarding how and when they have sex. That way, if these kids want to remain chaste, at least it is a conscious, thorough decision. Not one made because they fear god and their families will hate them.
