I think I can settle the question of where the best barbecued ribs are now that I finally drove downtown and ate at the Rendezvous after 2 1/2 years in Memphis. They have very lean and tender dry-rub pork ribs with a coating of various herbs and spices in a no-frills basket with sour slaw and baked beans. Quite a bit better than anything I've tasted in almost four decades of Southern backyard barbecues and smokehouses.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A special holiday video: [link]
This video manages to simultaeously be one of the worst kitten videos ever, one of the worst music videos ever and one of the worst Christmas videos ever.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nuh-huh. There is no way I'm sitting through that entire video. It is made of wrongness, and tried to implant wrong things in my head.
On the other hand, I think this David Blaine spoof is totally harmless. And these are cool. Please buy me some.

OK, to make up for that last one... Don't Die Ding
This has got to be one of the oddest, most surreal x-mas videos. Somewhat creepy and a tiny bit NSFW too.

Whoa! Earthquake.
Nothing fell over but that was a thumper.

There hasn't been a notable SoCal quake in a while, has there? I remember one that Aimée noticed, but I hadn't felt a thing.
We have been having freaky wind around here. Not like the winds that keep shutting off Plei's electricity, but for the second time in as many weeks the streets are littered with branches and palm fronds.
