Meat in Public

| No Comments

Prime Time Lou, the Fiberglass Badger, the Mad Oilman and TXMagpie travel to Austin to see Ron White at the Paramount....



We stopped in Lockhart on the way and sampled the wares at Kreuz
Barbeque. Six pounds of meat later, we declared ourselves mightily
satisfied.

Messing About

| No Comments

Having now spread myself all across the internet, I'm playing with making this page an aggregation of all those posts. I'm not super-happy with it, so it may not stay that way.... But for now I'm over it, so you're stuck with the current incarnation :-)

Pistol Gun Origami

Now that's a search term! I hope whoever wandered here on that one went away satisfied ;-)

Hoppin' Down the Shootin' Trail....

| No Comments

Hippity hoppity....

Okay, I have no idea why the Easter Bunny song came to mind, but check it out! The MO and I are famous!

Kim and Connie DuToit shot a couple of episodes of The Shooting Trail here in Houston a while ago and here is the first one: Episode 7 (Old Rifles Never Die).

Thank you, Connie, for excellent editing :-)

Bullywang!

| 2 Comments
I don't even pretend to keep up with the movies, but Palinode presents an excellent (p)review of a new animated film, Barnyard. I'm thinking these cows would not fare well in Battle Cattle. And I am adding "bullywang" (I like it better as all one word) to my list of nifty new words. Pronunciation-wise, it kind of goes with "bollards," which I learned from my mom, although I tend to use it as a cuss word....

Installments

I'm not entirely sure what Jeff Harrell is up to, but so far it's compelling. Start with Part One and then move forward to find more. As of this morning, he's up to Part Seven. I'm pointing it out this way instead of with a list of links to just the story parts because then you'll get to read the "regular" posts, too, like station breaks or intermissions. I kind of like the change of pace. Plus it's much less cutting and pasting ;-)

Vox Keeps Rocking

| No Comments

I'm having lots of fun over at vox. I got my cellphone hooked up, so I can send a picture straight to vox, and I'm happy to note that the RSS feeds and direct links honor the privacy settings. (Not surprised, but happy :-)

I've also updated to MovableType 3.3 on my "real" sites and so far everything seems hunky-dory. It's not an overwhelming update, but there are some nice touches. The default entry interface is nicer, the widget thingy shows promise, and best of all, nothing b0rked during the upgrade.

Happiness is well-behaved software.
