Health Advice
Advice from a commentor:
"some of the posts here are ignorant. a person won't get osteoporosis or rickets. it's been found that women who drink milk get osteoporosis much more than vegan women. beer is more nutritious than milk, though i won't recommend that for kids.
the milk in the vending machines could be replaced with juices. i think it's best if the soda is also removed.
cows won't explode if not milked. the only reason they're in danger from not being milked is because they're given hormones that make them produce more milk than they naturally would, and because their calves are taken away to be made into veal. stop the hormones and let them have their calves and everything would be OK."
Refers to this old post. Commenter: PETA thanks you.

For the record: That wasn't me. Although I agree with the genius behind the comment that beer is more healthy than milk.

Beer *is* more nutritious, except for that pesky alcohol content. There appears to be good evidence that cow's milk really isn't very good for humans, but statements like that make it difficult to take anyone seriously.
Most "juices" are pretty damn unhealthy, too. Particularly the kind packaged for vending.

I know that real beer - not the lite stuff - has quite an array of B Vitamins in it. I'm not sure how many survive the bottling process, but before there was water purification, drinking beer was healthier than drinking water. Now Matt can claim he's watching his health when drinking beer. *G*
As for the rest of the post - too bad it makes the person appear to be barely literate. I might've been persuaded to look into some of the claims, but I refuse to put myself out for badly written formulaic pap. *sigh*

The food served in schools is a mess. Why are we quibbling over sugar-milk vs sugar-soda? that's like arguing whether cyanide is better than arsenic. My daughter's peers (6th grade) regularly consume chocolate milk, snapple, dove bars, pizza. What are we thinking? This 'food' is garbage and will have long-term deleterious effects on our children's health and immune system. Cow milk is not as great as the hype indicates, but what's worse is putting sugar in milk and many other foods and drinks and then wondering why we have diabetes and obesity problems.

I agree with the commenter. We should all stop milking the cows and just eat them instead. With a nice cold beer.
I would say that we should eat vegans too, but I haven't seen too many that have enough meat on them to make them worth the processing cost.

80s, Baby
I eat cannibal
Feed on animal
Your love is so edible to me
I eat cannibals
I eat cannibal
It's incredible
You bring out the animal in me
I eat cannibals
What can you do
You're in a stew
Hot hot cook it up
I'm never gonna stop
Fancy a bite
My appetite
Yum yum gee it's fun
Banging on a different drum
This obnoxious 80's moment brought to you by Toto Coelo and angelweave.

By some strange coincidence, the blog I read right before this one had an actual cannibal joke:
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One stops, turns to the other, and asks, "Does this taste funny to you?"
I said
actual, not
amusing.

Barnes and Barnes! I knew it was Barnes and somebody...

The Password is Broken
Venomous Kate, bless her,
broke some toes a few days ago. Poor dear - it HURTS. Especially if you dislocate 'em, too - hope that wasn't the case for her.
Aaron of Free Will
broke his nose.
Toes. Nose. They Rhyme, and they're... Broken. Yeah, I think that's a theme, boys and girls. Broken.
Broken - an obnoxious poem
--------------------------------------------
This
hockey player surely knows,
And traffic stalls, no normal flows
for broken is the way it goes.
A boiler shuts the school to close
and
hand displac-ed shattered foes
though broken is the way it goes.
Eh?
Scammed tobacco you suppose?
ring broken down by federal pros.
Cause broken is the way it goes.
And straight from Yahoo, marriage woes
to
software monopoly action grows?
Remember ladies - broken is as broken goes.
Ask Kate, ask Aaron
Each surely knows
When something been broken
nurse your toes or nose.
(Have I ever mentioned how much I hate end rhyme? I am now). Anybody else broken?

My toes are doing nicely, thanks.
But beware of catching yours 'tween planks.
A lanai is fine - what you call a deck -
But treachery lurks when the lanai is wet.
Worse, still, when you're burdened down
With palm fronds that didn't make it to the ground
And your Hubby thinks they're no big thing,
So you must decide: move them yourself or scream.
Take my advice, learned the hard way but true:
On slippery wood, you should wear shoes.

"Just The Way You Are"
"Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore."
Billy Joel wisdom, yes, indeed.
Not in the year 2004,
evidently.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Love is not blind -- at least when it comes to facial plastic surgery.
Of people who are dating or married, 59 percent of women and 54 percent of men would like to change at least one feature on their partner's face, according to an American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery survey released on Monday.
It found that men were most likely to take suggestions about plastic surgery as an insult.
Hmm...can't think of anything I'd change on Brian. He looks better without his hat, but that's a prop. For me, I'll stick to the newfound Olay regimen. Had enough plastic surgery, seems.
The Alexandria, Virginia, academy sponsored the telephone survey Dec. 2-5 of 1,000 adults across the United States, including 738 who were dating or married. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.2 percent.
Respondents said they would change their lover's hair (24 percent women, 17 percent men), wrinkles (9 percent women, 11 percent men), nose (11 percent women, 9 percent men), mouth (6 percent each), eyes (5 percent each) or ears (4 percent each).
Wonder what
Virginia Postrel would have to say about that little twist in our aesthetic society - I've heard her info on when people undertake such pains for their own behest. Wonder how the spousal plastic surgery wishes (and executions) stack up to the divorce rate.

Beware Rural Missouri
In today's Post-Dispatch, there's an article about the
problem of Missouri's high number of meth labs (and addicts). The author of the article quotes a woman identified as "Christy" as saying thus:
Christy blames herself for trying meth and for moving back to rural Missouri.
Thanks, Post-Dispatch. Without your reporting, I would never have known that rural Missouri was a place to be avoided at all costs. Residing there is dangerous as running with a bushel of machetes, as sitting in cactus groves (are they groves), as dangerous as ice skating on unfrozen ponds.
Grrrrrrr.

You just gotta love how the reporters can slant a story when they want to. You have to find that "heartbreaking" person who screwed up and plaster their story all over in order to wrench the hearts of all.
Gotta love the excuses too - there's nothing to do in rural Missouri except drugs... well a drug addict from anywhere will tell you the same thing. If they were so damned bored, why didn't they just move somewhere else? Oops I forgot the cardinal rule - you must blame your circumstances for "making" you do the drugs. GRRRR!!!!

More on Atkins and Saturated Fat
On Wednesday or Thursday,
Spoons sent me the Atkins folks' rebuttal to the New York Times article.
Essentially, it states thus:
Atkins has not changed. The basic tenets of the Atkins Nutritional ApproachTM (ANA), consistent since 1972, are to control the intake of carbohydrates, avoid refined carbs (like sugar and white flour), eat a balance of fats (including saturated fat but not trans fats) and consume a variety of protein sources, such as red meat, fish, poultry and tofu. Saturated fat remains a valuable part of the ANA. There is absolutely no scientific research to support any claims that eating red meat and saturated fat as part of your Atkins program is anything other than beneficial. These protocols have been consistently reinforced as safe, effective and beneficial and have been further supported by 17 studies released over the last three years.
I'll give them points for shaking fingers at trans-fats. But that's about it.
And I'll buy most of this.
Millions of individuals who benefit from doing Atkins understand that the ANA is a very effective four-phase approach to healthy eating. The ANA focuses on moving people away from diets loaded with refined carbohydrates like sugar and white flour to a lifestyle centered around eating whole foods and nutrient-dense carbohydrates like leafy greens, and finding a balance in the consumption of proteins and fat.
Brown rice anyone?

If you're local, listen up.
Stray Rescue is sponsoring an animal adoption event on February 7, 2004 from 10 until 3 at the City pound. The aim is to save as many animals who are slated for gassing as possible. The animals are on the pound's "death row," if you will.
If you're considering bringing an animal (or two) into your family, do please come out and visit. This event is not yet on Stray Rescue's website.
Quentin the miracle dog will be in attendance.

If you miss OJ, then drink it.
No diet's going to work if you're not enjoying it. (Otherwise, you will only stay on it until you can't stand it anymore, and proceed to gain all the weight back once you go off.)
And I've lost 30 pounds on Weight Watchers, and still drink OJ every morning. Perhaps you've chosen the wrong weight loss plan.
Posted by: John at January 22, 2004 12:44 PM (NB4ZY)

I don't miss OJ, because I never really liked it, but I have avoided since I found out that drinking it with a meal will increase iron absorbtion and that males generally have too much iron to start with.
Of course, the flip side of it is that women should probably drink it for the exact same reason (increasing iron absorbtion.)

Homonym Game
If it sounds the same, it's the homonym game.
This was my mother's thing when I was younger - homonyms, homophones. Probably why I can spell pretty well. There's there, their, and they're. And then cite, site, sight, etc.
Today's homonym had me snickering, though. It's a good one in light of the mad cow frenzy aflight within the nation.

Atkins Diet, Ha Ha Ha Ha
Finally, some sense from these people! What, you say?
"Watch your saturated fat intake, they say." Darn. I was just weighting, er, waiting for the lawsuits from the doe-eyed, too.
Okay, so I really mean THANK YOU! I take issue with the whole couldn't get the message across bit. I mean, there are several books out there written by Atkins himself and the Atkinettes. How difficult is it to say "Watch. Your. Saturated. Fat. Intake." Not so hard. No one tried to kill me.

Not so fast....
Atkins has put out a press release, and has e-mailed all of their customers, to point out that the NYT story is inaccurate, and that Atkins has not changed their recommendations at all.
For what it's worth, I have a relatively early copy of Atkins' first book, and it
does warn about excessive consumption of saturated fats. They want you to avoid trans fats altogether.
The Atkins rebuttal to the Times is here:

PETA Pirouette
Well, a week late, but here it is - the PETA round-up that can be known only as the PETA Pirouette. At this time, I'd like to thank PETA for the fodder.
Colorado Conservative notes that
PETA has a beef with beef.com, er, or had.
The man we know as Trey Givens
plays possum with PETA. The Patriette
weighs in on this one, too.
Kevin at Eckernet notes that PETA
has a strategy of trying to "piss off they very people they are trying to convince." (Thanks,
Harvey).
And, speaking of Harvey, he shows us some
PETA blood money.
Phillip Coons has a whole
PETAphile page. Geez. I feel small time now. Thanks,
LeeAnn.
From April of 2003,
our PETA'd friends offer to cough up 15k for Hamburg to rename itself to Veggieburg.
From November of 2002, something that
sums it all up very nicely. And the author named his blog lawroark, so you have to visit.
But PETA takes the most ridiculous approach to trying to advance its arguments. It seems to intentionally try to alienate anyone who might be inclined to be the least bit interested in their views.
Terrorism and turkey. Aren't you sad you missed that one when it was "news"?
Shark Blog in October of 2003 posts
Miss Kitty. The caption on this is that it's actually a "costume." I beg to differ. Naked woman in paint is just naked woman in paint. Didn't
Wizbang! use this as a caption contest?
HD blog, which I've never seen before now, articulates PETA's stance on animal research.
Animal testing bad, human disease...[baffled PETA members].
Terrorism, pork, and a PETA logo. Can't miss.
PETA and graphic comic books. Yawn.
On PETA and Clay Aiken. PETA actually amuses me here. Neuter.
Foxhunting in Ol' Virginny has an
animal rights page. The Principles of the Page section. Animal Rights isn't the same as animal welfare. Yes, no kidding.
Blackfive
puts Ashanti and Pamela Anderson in a cage match.
There's also a
very nice snark by homicidalManiak.
Given that my dive into Biblical history hasn't reached what I would call scholarly proportions yet it is quite possible that I missed the entire Book of PETA in the New Testament. Or maybe it's one of the non-canonical texts that has been garnering so much attention lately. In any case I have yet to run across what could be considered the "lost" beatitude:
Blessed are the members of PETA; for multiplying two fishes to feed thousands is hard work and their abstinence decreases my workload.
And then PETA gets religious! Yes,
the Virgin Mary is not exempt from PETA advertising.
From July of 2003, we learn that
not much donated money actually goes to our friends the animals. Shocking!
And, ah, yes, more on
the Nutcracker incident.
And more.
Ugh, a
PETA fanatic named Heather.
From November of 2002, the
infamous smashing windows quote from PETA's own Bruce Friedrich.
From Rob's Blog we learn what we already know:
people ARE more important than animals.
And, finally, this one is
NOT safe for work. I bring you
pics of naked PETAites and, um, a "news" article proclaiming certain catty comments. Oh, dear, I think I have porn on my computer now. I'd better reply to all that spam I get sent telling me I can shamelessly remove it without my spouse finding out. So,
honey, stop reading a paragraph ago, please. (Thank you to
erosblog).
Much of actual work for gleaning these posts was done by
Tony of Oriental Redneck.
Any PETA post would be incomplete without mentioning the
Meatriarchy.
UPDATE:
Found two more on lunch browsing. First, Kevin at Wizbang! notes that
PETA's hunting Hillary. And, Steve at AdRants highlights
PETA's anti-rodeo ad. Yeehaw.

Thanks for the linkage, Heather!
My personal favorite is still the "Holocaust On Your Plate" campaign. Taken one way, it would compare meat eaters to Nazis - taken another way, it compares Jews to cows. Smooooth.
And if I might ask, what's wrong with a "naked woman in paint"? It works for me.

Thanks for the linkage. I'm glad you enjoyed my snarky little post

Juicy!
Tuesday night. Brian and I are working back in the gym, which is completely overcrowded due to the fact it was January 13, 2004, and those resolutioners are still hard at it.
I'm a people watcher. I admit it. So when this chickadee strutted, er, walked by in her navel-baring black pantaloons that just happened to say "Juicy" in large white letters across the rump portion, I gave up the gawk.
Juicy!
Actually, I thought she was a bit on the skinny side. Can skinny be juicy? Is that possible? Is this advertising? Public relations? Non-subliminal messaging? Whom is she attempting to convince? Perhaps a reminder - affirmation when she clothes herself? I feel juicy, therefore I am?
So I make the obligatory snarky comment to
the spouse, "Honey, I promise not to wear words across my ass." And I point. We all know
pointing is rude.
In the locker room, Juicy's got said marked part parked in front of my locker. Yes, really, she does. Thanks, babe. I didn't really want to read your rear, but it was right there. Two syllables in front of my Master Lock. It brought to mind that old catchphrase for SizzleLean - "Move over bacon; now there's something meatier."
The real reason for a non-wordy ass? I'm afraid "Succulent" just might fit across mine. Or perhaps a whole sentence. Or, Hans might suggest a haiku.

Good call. One should not be wearing words across one's ass.

Heather, it's not the length of the word, it's a question of which font you use. An Arial Narrow "succulent" is better than a Wide Latin "juicy".
And the only words I'm interested in seeing on a woman's ass are "Take me! Take me now!"

Haiku on your ass
Is poetry in motion -
If you're built for it.

So what did her butt say? Juicy, again?
I'm sorry, but a juicy ass sounds an awful lot like maybe she should see a doctor, or at least take some Pepto-Bismol.

This urge that people have to wear clothes that talk has always mystified me. I have seen the "Juicy" clothing and I must say I find it faintly nauseating. (I mean - shouldn't you save descriptions of bodily functions for your significant other - if they are interested...)
I have one t-shirt I will wear with a word on it - it says "Army" and I got it when my son graduated basic this summer. Other than that - my clothes do not speak. *g*

I don't care about "talking" shirts - I have many (Can't sleep. Clowns will eat me. Can't sleep. Clowns will eat me. Can't sleep. Clowns will eat me. -
THOSE kind of shirts). But some are overused. If I see another girl wearing a shirt with "Angel" or "Princess" on it, I'm gonna gouge out my eyes.
And if talking asses are bad on women, they are ENTIRELY unacceptable on men. I forget what store I was in, but I was looking for swim trunks. I found a pair that was exactly what I wanted: right size.... looked great.... the be-all, end-all of beachware.... but they had something written across the ass. I don't even recall what, but I hung them back up and left the store. I didn't even want to be seen in a place that sold something like that.

Pixy Misa: I don't want to see *anything* written across someone's ass, but I particularly don't want to see the words 'poetry in motion'.

I think I need to start a cafepress.com shop selling haiku shorts.

I can't believe I forgot to mention this: My ass-billboard sighting at my gym was a girl on a treadmill whose shorts proclaimed SEXY...and those shorts had enough room to include I'M TOO to the left and FOR MY SHORTS...IN MY WILDEST DREAMS! to the right.
I'm sorry, but in my book, something that freakin' wide ain't sexy. I know in some books it is, but not mine.

I dont know if you know or care, but 'Juicy' is a brand.... I see it on women/girls around my town all the time.... as for things printed on ones ass..... I'll agree with Homer Jay and just say, one shouldnt have things printed on ones ass.

My favorite, though, is the "Guess" T shirts. A response of "34B on a good day" will get you slapped almost every time....

Juicy is for peach
Ass is something you can ride.
Sometimes all day long.
In halcyon days
advertising stayed in front.
on luscious peach breasts.

I wonder if Juicy would've been offended if she had been called a
'chick'?

Brian and Style
My spouse has foreseen the fashion trends,
according to MSN. (Well, MSN didn't state it quite that explicitly).
Fedoras Last year it was the newsboy cap, this year it's the fedora. Not everyone can pull it off, but a men's-style fedora, especially paired with a sleek low ponytail, can be chic, polished, and warm all at the same time. Try one in a preppy tweed, like Kangol's Newmarket Trilby ($54).
Please,
baby, no ponytail.
Might I direct you to the most accessible Brian-in-fedora pics? See, when he puts on the hat, you can't tell he has hair. When we met, Brian had these very thick glasses that distorted his eyes a bit (he usually wore contacts). Those are not shown in these pics, but if he put them on with the fedora, he looked like Toht, the medallion-handed villain in
Raiders of the Lost Ark. Hence, he brought this to the world. I just thought I'd share.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Toht or Not!. Don't forget to rate him!

Why wouldn't I?
The green and gold fashion season in Wisconsin lasts from August to April. I'm carrying that on gamely down here.

Ponytail? Next the mullet will be back. Or here for the first time.
I wish I could pull off a fedora as suavely as BJN.

Lest we forget, when I first met Heather, I had a
mullet pulled into a scrawny little
ponytail beneath the back of my
fedora.
I was styling, some six or more years ahead of fashion. Of course, back then, it was considered 40 years and 10 years out of fashion. I think those "out of fashion" judgments ran concurrently, though.

I Could Be Sued!
Yes, really. Heather the former music major (trumpet - betcha didn't know that) has made some serious noise in her band career. At the expense of others! Just look what
Walter from Overlawyered has to bring us today.
Not so in the European Union, where a newly promulgated rule "reduces the allowable sound exposure in the European orchestral workplace from the present 90 decibels to 85. The problem is, a symphony orchestra playing full-out can easily reach 96 to 98 decibels, and certain brass and percussion instruments have registered 130 to 140 at close range."
So, there you have it. No fortissimo for you, audience. The clarinetists might unionize and the oboeists refuse to tune.

I'm a trumpet player, too. Playing loud is always more fun.
Up until recently I played with a symphony where one would often hear from the conductor, "The trumpets are too loud!"
To which we'd reply, "There's no such thing!"

Oh man...Victor beat me to saying the very first thing that came to my mind.
A fellow brass player (trombone), I used to love to terrorise the saxes sitting in front of our section.
Most embarassing volume related incident was in high school, the year our music program recorded an album. It was recorded live in our auditorium and the recording engineers hung a mic right over my horn. The concert band selections sounded like I was trying to play a feature solo all through every piece. At least I knew how to tune, thank gawd. Yeesh.

Beef with PETA
I had hoped to have the big collection of PETA links ready to go this weekend. Life interferred. I should have it up for you mid week, perhaps Tuesday. I'll work on it bit by bit.
In the meantime, see any more PETA posts, send 'em my way!
