School has begun again in the magical land of Chom and hazel still doesn’t have a job and thus no internet access, so we won’t be updating at our usual relentless pace. Rumor has it that Doug and Kate have the ability to post on this site; maybe they will save us.

Yesterday I learned that “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo” is a grammatically correct English sentence. At about $600 a class and about 43 class days a semester at UT, I figure that my professor owes me a free textbook or maybe a CD. Then again, he pointed out that there seems to be only one word in the English language that can be inserted anywhere in a sentence and even as an infix in some words - fucking - and that’s genuinely useful trivia, so maybe it all cancels out.

Here’s some miscellaneous reading material:

• Booska’s Ramen snack reviews are now hosted here at SNF.
• Bush doesn’t know what brie is… it’s almost endearing at this point.
• Phil fucking Gramm is retiring! And Jesse Helms already announced his retirement, so I guess we don’t have to kill them anymore.
• Corporations in U.S. history - technically, my company isn’t a corporation, it’s just part of a sinister web of financial entities that control the world. Also, we have carp ponds at work.
• Dr. Sbaitso is back! And I’m using him for evil
• Bible saves kid from shotgun blast - amazingly, there isn’t a single quote in the story about God’s will or Jesus’ love or divine this or holy that. Just a crazy mom hopped up on pills trying to kill her sons, and the book that saved one of them.
