Now this is SERIOUSLY fucked up. I would NEVER, EVER live any place where an HOA was involved. If I want to spray paint my front lawn purple, I'm goddamned if a collective of soul-sucking pissants is going to tell me I can't.

I wish newspapers didn't suck so bad these days. I'm not really happy with relying on the Internet for my news. I get tons of news on things I really care about like baseball and music but not enough on things I should care more about. Even worse, when I feel the need to avoid real-time news for fear of seeing the score of sports I'm tivoing I end up completely news deprived.


I know. I was trying to read the Sunday paper at my FiL's house last weekend and couldn't believe what a waste of space it was.

Speaking of the media, I fucking totally endorse this take:

Lara Logan, You Suck

I read that this morning, and completely agree. If yr stupid enough to say something in front of a reporter, and no specify that it was "off the record", then yr dumb ass deserves to be put in print. Stinks that a career had to end like that, but at least he's being held to the same standards as the rest of us.

Fuck his career--he's the same guy who covered up the Pat Tillman thing and never should have had the job in the first place. I hope he goes out like Lt. Colonel Markinson.

one of our print vendors treated a few of us good clients to a baseball game last night. two of my coworkers showed up in the bottom of the 1st, sat in the seats for about a half-inning, went to sit in the stadium bar and then left the ballpark by the 7th inning. i called them out on it this morning and they're acting like it's no big deal. so, a business associate treats you to a night out and you spend ten minutes with them - fair or foul?

Gonna go with foul. If it was a weeknight, you could argue leaving by the 7th--if they had stayed in the seats. However, just getting up after half and inning and sitting at the bar is kinda a rude move. Plus, was this vendor paying for more than tickets (food, beer) or just tickets? Not that it matters, but if they were spending on everything, why would you go to the bar?

vendor took us out to dinner before the game and then paid for a round at the game. i've since learned that one of the people who left doesn't get along with the vendor who took us out, so then i asked, "why even go to the game?!" i stuck around the whole time because i go to baseball games to watch baseball. but this was at wrigley, so i'm in the minority on that one anyway.

I'd say it's bad form. I guess how big a deal it is though depends on really what the relationship is and how many people they were taking to the game. Small group with someone you work with closely would be terrible. Large group with many of their clients and a sales person that you don't really talk to other than to order more business cards and stationary then who really cares that much?

Times like this remind civilized people that there are others who could give a shit about decorum or social contracts or were simply never educated about these commonplace scenarios and how not to behave within them.

Time to wrap up this week with a GREAT MOMENT IN POOP HISTORY. Reader Bryan submits this story I call COUNTRY TIME POOPADE.

So my wife is kind of an organic food weirdo and always makes me eat and drink various weird food items that she says will help me lead a "natural" life. One day, she says, "I think we should do a lemonade cleanse". I thought, "I like lemonade, let's do this".

Well, come to find out, a lemonade cleanse is a ten-day fast where all you do is drink a mixture of lemon juice, maple syrup, water, and cayenne pepper. I promise it is just as disgusting as it sounds. The goal is to cleanse your body of all the nasty shit that houses itself inside of you after eating the common western diet of processed food. To aid in this evacuation process, you are supposed to do a salt-water flush every morning (or every other morning) of the ten-day cleanse. The salt-water cleanse goes like this:

1. Drink a cup of "Smooth Move" tea the night before (I prefer the chocolate flavor).

2. Wake up the next morning and drink 32 oz. of water with 2tsp of sea salt mixed in (totally awful in every way).

3. Wait

4. Shit

5. Profit?

Well, the first time I did this, I did not manage my time well. I woke up an hour early and drank the saltwater mix to allow myself time to "evacuate". After an hour nothing was happening so I said, "Screw it, I gotta go to work".

On my way to work I feel a nice healthy fart brewing and I raise up the right butt cheek to let forth the gas. What happened next was the scariest thing to happen to me while farting that I've ever experienced. Liquid shit shot forth out of my butt and filled my underwear while simultaneously dripping all down my legs. It was the warmest, slimiest, most disgusting thing I've ever felt. Moreover, the smell was that of a freshly soiled baby diaper mixed with burnt hair.

Luckily I was able to drive home and clean up. The first wave in the car was only the beginning. I began to shit with such ferocity that the sounds alone coming from the bathroom were nothing I'd ever heard before. Even crazier is after the fourth day of not eating solid foods, the salt-water cleanses produce the most otherworldly shit that comes out of your intestines. I'm talking alien-looking shit. Once you get all that stuff out, you then proceed to shit-piss which is kind of fun because your asshole feels like a vagina . . . always a fun feeling.

I know a few people who do that on a regular basis. There's actually a website that tells you what the certain things are that come out of you. Like fluorescent orange stuff apparently.
