This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yikes, the picture from the Haiti earthquake on the from of the NYTimes website took me a second to register. Then I realized the whole National Palace had fallen apart like an under egged cake.

I know. It breaks my heart. The country was in such bad shape already that we generally don't cover it in our books, even though it is the only French-speaking country in this hemisphere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't had my hair cut by a woman in forever. I ended up avoiding them, because they seemed more reluctant to go hard core.

My hair now has too many textures for me to get it all trimmed to the same length. And I'm beginning to envy guys with good edging.

But making an appointment? That's counter to my whole being. Hmm.

The BBC website is where I usually go for disaster news. They report hundreds dead...

Well, they did have two guy barbers.

Another resource: Black Folks Hair, salon finder.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ah, I know this is random, but so disappointed our Tonight Show tickets were two days before all this madness. All the shows have crazy monologues right now!

Crazy monologues can be fun, no?

Bon, have you been to the Comedy Store since you moved to LA? (Is it still there?)

More black barbershops in Inglewood.

Nah. There are way cheaper options in town, like UCB/iO or various small shows. LA is bursting with standups -- I saw the best standup set of my life in a friend's living room for free.

Yeah, I tried the Black Folks Hair salon finder--lists two places, poorly, neither actually near me. The Black Barbershop health outreach program seems a strange angle to go in with, but it's an angle. I just can't work out how to make it give me a geographical list of barbers.

Well, as long as you're keeping track of the comedy and Bob Bob's on the philosophy I feel good about the next decade.
