I spent a delightful afternoon with Peter and Maggie yesterday. At one point, Peter and I were discussing literary blindings. In the middle of the night, I woke up realizing he had smacked me about the face with a red herring and I hadn't even noticed. He said after Samson had been blinded, he was chained to the pillars at the Philistine's building, and had then pulled down the pillars.

Something struck me as wrong about this, but I kept on going.

Then I woke up in the middle of the night realizing Samson had not been chained, but had asked a servant to place his hands on the pillars, where he then pushed them down, collapsing the building.

Curse you, Peter! You got me....

In other news, I am thinking of planning a costume/potluck party. The theme shall be regrettable foods, and will feature the sort of vintage recipe you might expect to find at The Gallery of Regrettable Food. You know, stuff like the recipe you're looking at right now:

[Ham Banana Roll]

So, who's in? Do you want to come? I don't have a date set yet, but my last Regrettable Foods Party was held on New Year's Day. I'm thinking this time shall be an autumn affair.

Link time? Don't mind if I do....

The Sandman: A wonderful and creepy stop animation which which garnered an Oscar nomination.

Cop Suspended For "Ghetto Handbook": "Houston school police officer distributed offensive Ebonics primer." Frankly, I don't see what's offensive about this at all. If people are talking like this, it makes perfect sense that police officers should be able to understand them. Miscommunication can be deadly (thanks, Benoit).

Clowns KKKick KKK ass!: "'White Power!' the Nazi’s (sic) shouted, 'White Flour?' the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt 'White Flour'."
