When I was in high school, we called Old Milwaukee beer "frog piss" because on the can it sorta appears that a frog is pissing in a funnel.

My other view is it's more morally objectionable to eat an intelligent animal than a dumb one. From this view, it's worse to eat a dog than a cow, because cows are stupid and annoying animals. Or maybe I just have childhood issues about having to do chores on a dairy farm....

Pigs are smarter than dogs. THIS VIEW ELIMINATES BACON. PLEASE REVISE!!!!11! (I actually think it's vaguely skeevy to eat animals, yet so tasty, I fail at my own moral code. ALAS.)

Also, the order of the following things when catching up? HILARIOUS.

Hipster infestations have become commonplace in modern times.

They're kind of like the new Zombies.

And occasionally they fart so hard that shit flies into your hair....

Aarrrgh! Monday and Tuesday critical developer was out of the office, so key meeting was delayed two days. Today only-slightly-less-critical two developers are out of the office, so the key meeting can't be today either. And we were supposed to deliver the results Monday.

Me? I feel like crap on toast, but because I kinda always do, I figure no point in actually staying home. But if I'd known, I totally would have. Especially since I got stuck in traffic on the commute in and had to call in for the meeting I'm covering for New Guy (who's also out today).

I so want to go home at lunch.

Did I mention Boss isn't here either?

Yeah, that's the dilemma. Oh well, better to abandon this whole "moral code" thing rather that risk feeling guilty about eating bacon....

That's a sucky pile of frustration, ita.

As consolation, I offer you this amusing exchange from Grosse Point Blank.

Martin Blank: Did you go to your [10th high school] reunion?
Joan Cusack's character: I did sir. It was if everyone had swelled.

ION, I hate it when hipster zombies fart so hard shit, PBR and iPod nanos get in your hair.

Goodness. I thought I lived in Hippieville-on-the-Bolin. But there's a strong note of Hipster rising there, too. Patchouli or Old Spice (worn ironically)? How to chose?

I now have a new idea for a Halloween costume - the "victim of a hipster zombie attack."

I so want to go home at lunch.

And you should.

The thing I find confusing about hipsters is that they sort of look like my friends and I (who were very uncool) in the eighties. So I meet them and think they are going to be nice geeky people and then I realize that they are not. They did seem to bring back fitted pants for men, so I will give them that.

I also feel about chicken how tommy feel about cows.

I was once chased by a herd of cows, on a hill, in the woods, in Sicily. Cows are terrifying at speed, let me say.

I have never been chased by a herd of hispters, but I suppose if I could figure out the right thing to shout in a rock club or the local vegetarian restaurant I might be some day; this town has 'em in spades.
