Is incredible. Slays. Best since A Thousand Leaves.
You want more in-depth review action from me, well, you’ll just have to wait till June. The wait will be worth it though, when you see what I have in store.

Seems like all the dudes on The Simpsons staff know their Nuts.
Liz and Linus.
Yeah, but where’s her Marcie equivalent?
How did I never play this game growing up? I played The Empire Strikes Back one to death after death.
This site looks absolutely incredible. I look forward to delving tonight.
I’ll be moving and getting a new job this August. Still doing the real estate, kid.
Some Snoopy’s Reunion reviews, ranging from yet another guy who traffics in preconceived notions about what he thinks a thing he did not create should be to people who just review the product.
I love when the ball gags are related to sports. Bart gets to sit up front ’cause he’s a good guy at sports!

Tall smart-ass broads are a breed apart. Bea Arthur had a sense of humor so dry her line deliveries were positively arid. She always struck me as one of those celebrities that I couldn’t be paid to approach, not even to utter the words “Big fan” and scurry away with my forehead toward my feet. Total non-brooker of nonsense. That’s the consistent vibe I got.
The two funniest Golden Girls are gone. Damn damn.

inLet it be known, I am a big fan of the rapper Redman. Despite the fact that he has for seventeen years extolled little else other than the joys of marijuana–ecstasies that I am intentionally ignorant of–I look forward to his verses like the cast of The Girlie Show looks forward to Sandwich Day.
The impending Method Man/Redman album Blackout 2 means promotion. Which means interviews.
“Marijuana has always been that drug that united people. It’s always been on the verge of being legal. It’s hardly a drug really. When people look at marijuana, they look at it as an enjoyment of connecting,” says Redman.
A couple li’l things here.
I cannot stand when defenders of the “sacred herb” state that it is actually not even a drug. When it is. We here at Trapper Jenn MD (which is, um, me) normally approach citing Wikipedia with trepidation, but some of the articles on the site are credible. Whether you partake of it or not, you should be able to admit that marijuana is a drug.
Then we have that whole “enjoyment of connecting”. I get what Red’s trying to say here, but the terminology is hilarious. I’ve heard of “enjoyment by connecting” and “enjoyment while connecting”, but never “enjoyment of connecting” by itself. “Enjoyment of connecting the input cable thus being able to hear the audio”, yeah, that I get. But just those three words all by their lonesome, how pseudo-Zen.

inSomehow at my job the topic of organ transplants came up. Usually it’s American Idol and Desperate Housewives and shitty movies, so this was a welcome reprieve. On the surface.
“My aunt had a kidney transplant, and she says they just kept the bad one in her body.”
Said seriously, and sworn by in the face of incredulous protestation.
No one pressed further. No one said the obvious. “Isn’t the whole point of a transplant to remove an offending part of the body to make way for one that isn’t toxic enough to kill you? Wouldn’t this aunt of yours in fact have three kidneys in their body? Does it strike you at all how absolutely unbelievably stunningly ridiculous what you are saying sounds?”
No one said a word. We had work to do.

Those of us adamant on maintaining health-conscious lives greet the holiday season with ambivalence. The cookies of our heart are not warmed by those hardened circles of dough. We cannot have our cake and Edith, too. Sure we can have some extra chicken wings, or meatballs–if they’re made with turkey. But the sweet stuff is verboten.
Leave it to Hallmark, then, to give everyone a guilt-free, tasty Christmas treat.

I’m one of those folks that actually benefits from the foreclosure boom.
Waaaay too low. Fuck the Kool Penguin.
I’m not the only one who likes It’s Arbor Day, CB, so nyah.

inI missed it, I won’t lie. By mid-August everyone ’round these parts will be bitching about it but for right now goddamnit, these sunny days are welcome. Among other benefits, I get to walk two miles total to and from work, and the blazing sun will help with my Vitamin D deficiency.
My mother just put some fresh newspaper on the bottom of the bird cage for her unappreciative parakeet, Snowflake. It just so happened to be the comics section, featuring a vintage Peanuts where Snoopy is driven from the top of his doghouse by an imperceptible spider. I was looking at it to appreciate the irony/tragedy/comedy/something-y of a reprinted work of art put in place to catch bird droppings when I noticed that Snowflake has a sense of humor.
