As if watching those hunky Kratt boys and their little lemur wasn't fun enough, I just found out about the Zoboomafoo Drinking Game! Martin's shirt comes untucked? One drink! Chris' watch changes wrists? One drink! Martin offers me a job to go splash in the mud and play with puppies on the show? Hmmm, that one doesn't seem to be on there...

PS: No alcohol is involved! Milk, kool-aid, juicy juice, water. Also, whoever came up with this game has watched the show waaaaay too much.

So, after hearing every day for several months which team Eric Lindros did -not- get traded to, there is finally something to report. Start spreading the news -- he's going to New York. I like the way his contract has a "head injury clause."

So I typed my name in at Google and found myself quoted in two articles. I remember talking to the various people but had no idea the stuff would get used.

First I make a silly comment about the show Talking to Americans (In the freaking LA Times, and yes, I dis my fellow citizens). And then in NOW about the "raw meat up the street" incident.

I can not believe I didn't know about this sooner! And why didn't anyone tell me?! The Womens American Football League. Full contact, tackle, NFL rules. That is the coolest thing I have learned about in a long long time. Damn, I can't wait to go to a game.

You know, I used to have big fantasies about playing for the NFL, and my daughter does now, but this is even better. I'm getting us a new football.

Okay, I've finally got everything ready for Slow, the zine I've been working on. I put up a nifty little website -- Go Slowly.

Check it out, submit, subscribe, let me know what you think!

Brian came up with a new word --

Infuritainment:
Watching (reading, listening to) something specifically for the purpose of infuriating yourself.

Think Dr. Laura, Jerry Springer, child-free discussion boards, letters to the editor in small-town Arkansas or West Virginia.

PS: It was a year ago today that I shattered my ankle!
