I was introduced to it back in the early nineties. My first impression of it was an image of Ryne Sandburg of the Cubs sliding into second base being tagged out. The headline under it was "Chicago Cubs eliminated from playoff contention, in May".

Being an unfortunate Cub fan, I always get a chuckle out of that...

I was just being silly with my Bullshit response...

It was so good, I was not laughing...well, at least until the reporter at the end said '...I'm just some f'ing guy...'

That struck me as freaking hilarious.

would be totally true if we thought we could get it. Hell, even though it has been a decade I might try to write up an funding proposal on groundwater and marijuana and submit it to my old advisors for the hell of it.

Geologist make the Bed-Rock and Hydrogeologists love to do pump tests!

marijuana growth rates and consumption, or some such. include the effects of legalization on the stoners' perceptions of the garden's geological importance.

Whenever I channel flip and CNN appears it is just like this. Brilliant. I love the part where he is quoting emails and the email shown is something else. I hope Anderson Cooper sees this.

"...and here's some footage of Congress."

"Yes, I see that."

"...let us know if there're any updates on this bullshit story from there."

"There's no way there will be."


Love it. After sitting through a two and half hour town council meeting earlier this evening, this is just what I needed!!
