It somewhat diminishes one's confidence in the US Army Special Forces to start the day by seeing their 18-wheeler, fetchingly emblazoned with their logo and pictures of tough guys with guns, stuck in the lawn by the college campus bus stop. Apparently they decided to turn around on the lawn (why the ROAD right there that runs in a circle for exactly this purpose was not sufficient I do not know) and it was sort of damp. And 18 wheelers are heavy. Dumbasses.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
THE COLBERT REPORT was a good one last night. This Tek Jansen was worthy of SEALAB 2021 at its best. Also, Stephen seemed to be having a big case of the sillies as he kept losing it from the handoff from Jon onward.
What do we need today? More centaur links, that's what!
Lots of pictures of a centaur: The Texas Centaur He's available for parties.
From BoingBoing:
My band has a centaur on rythym guitar -- check out a pic of him on our blog at www.wreckingbalss.com- there's a link to our myspace there. (it's spelled balSS cause it stands for sword and sorcery and there's already another band in Portland called the Balls).
Finally, who can even hear the term "centaur" without hearing Christopher Walken say "We don't hire dirty centaurs"? YouTube video: [link]
edit to fix Walken quote. Because Walken quotes should be reported accurately.
Where is everybody? I think I'll keep on posting centaur links until someone shows up....

Only with more cowbell.
Oh good - I was running out of centaur links....

Time to change up for minotaurs and cyclops and griffins, oh my!
You know, I can't look at a centaur costume without something in the back of my mind whispering "pantomime horse!"
