Two things. First, go visit SPC Jean-Paul Borda’s milblogging.com, which currently boasts links to 478 military blogs in 15 countries. The site is searchable by country, by gender, and by author. If you like what you see, bookmark it or add it to your RSS feed.
And second, as a way to prepare myself for my ascension to the nation’s High Court, I’ve been working on writing material for narrowly defined demographics—a mental exercise that I hope will sharpen my conservative restraint and focus (I tend to wander, which is evident to those of you who read me with any regularity—a habit of mine that tends to manifest itself in long, compound complex sentences whose clauses tie together like strings of poorly-formed and badly polished pearlettes. But I digress.)
Anyway, restraint and focus. Here’t goes.
Tonight’s topic / group: Men who find Howard Dean sexy and powerful but who aren’t really gay:
First man: “Man. That Howard Dean sure is sexy and powerful, isn’t he?”
Second man: “Uh, no. Absolutely not.”
First man:
Second man:
First man:: “Oh.”
First man: “I’m not gay, by the way.”
First man: “Just so you know.”
****
I welcome all feedback.
Sorry, my topic for tonight was the bottle of 1990 Beaucastel I just opened. And yeah, it fucking rocks.
Thanks for the milblogging link.
TW: glass. Sorry hun…. I’ve had 2.
Speaking of Unca Howie, it seems this whole Reid Senate debacle, if it ends up as a full-bore-televised-C-Span-sound-bite-spectacular will drag Dems of Christmas past into the fray, insofar as their knowledge of Saddam’s WMD. Wouldn’t the name at the top of that list be the husband of a current ‘08 Prez candidate?
And I wonder…
we haven’t heard much from Hill on Reid’s decision to pursue a Democrat children’s crusade. Is this because there might be a slight divide in the Dem house?
Certainly, dragging Bill in to testify would not help, and possibly hurt her, so… is this the Dean-wing DNC taking flight against the moderates?
-a political Democratic crack-house divided cannot stand?
Eh. I’m on the cocktails. (Heh-heh. Cock.) Try a trap door sometime. (Stolen from Tiki Bar TV)
1oz Spiced Rum (i.e. Captain Morgan)
1oz Gin.
1/4-1/2 a Lime
2oz OJ
1oz Club Soda.
It’s sorta like a Orange Julius with a kick.
Third Man: That’d be http://milblogging.com/ wouldn’t it?
Nitpicker.
It was the almonds caught in my teeth from yesterday.
I’m enjoying an Alito Driver.
Four parts vodka, splash o’ OJ.
In which I get myself whacked.
So I was at the C&D victory party tonight, which is sort of on hold cause the right-wingers in the Springs for some reason can’t get their freakin’ ballots in, but …
You know the only thing I ever liked about Doonesbury was the confusion balloon Trudeau had over Uncle Duke a lot …
Anyway, what I meant to say is that D chicks aren’t nearly as hot as you’d think. Not like Howard …
Christ, what am I doin’ on the yes side of C&D? …
Waiter, more scotch!
My submit word is woman … that’s gotta be some kind of message…
Jesus, people! I’m talking about a credible and enervating split beteeen the Hill and Reid/Dean wings of the Dems over the apparently looming Iraq pre-war intelligence hearings, which, for the ‘08 elections, could certainly have a…wait a sec, is that Maker’s Mark?
well, okay, but just two, then it’s right back at…well,
….man, that’s good!
Shouldn’t the topic be called “A man…” or, perhaps, “The only man…” Cause I’m pretty sure he’s alone on this one.
Sure, that man isn’t gay. He just sent Howie a videotape of himself prancing around in a crotchless, black lace catsuit, lip-synching to Culture Club’s “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya”, as a sign of his platonic, manly admiration. And because he’s very, very comfortable in his masculinity.
But he isn’t the slightest bit gay. No, not even the slightest.
tw: mans. “It’s a man’s, man’s, man’s, man’s world.” Uncanny, I tell you.
You know, I used to have the bad habit (something of my youth, but long abandoned) of trying to express myself in long, compound, complex sentences; however, luckily, I developed the skill, through time and practice, of shortening my sentences (a boon to my readers), and, therefore, I really think with time, and practice, you too, and anyone else willing to put in the time and effort, can develop the skills necessary to present clear, concise sentences – at least I hope so.
What Lew said.
Turing = like, as in Like, it’s so much more, like, fun, to like, surf the blogs when they, like, don’t have all those, like, elitist long sentences, and like, big words and whatever.
A little wordy.
I believe there ought to be a period after “But I digress.)” in order to close the sentence to which the parenthetical statement is added; otherwise, a period might be needed after “focus” before the parenthetical statement, thereby closing the sentence and making the parenthetical statement stand by itself instead of as a part of a sentence: however, I acknowledge that I may be wrong and, therefore, yield to the superior skillz (yes, the “z” is intentional) and knowledge of the English professor if such should be the case.
