Rocketing Around the Blogosphere
This time around, my fancy has been caught largely by technology posts, which isn’t unprecedented I suppose.
First stop is Murdoc Online, with his look at Great Lake water levels and a splash of cold perspective to those who need it. Good story, great ending. Al talks about what I’ve always suspected about pilots. You have to be detail-oriented, level-headed, clear thinking, quick reacting, and have the black soul of DeSade. Quoting Rick Riley:”I was worried about getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was something I should eat the next morning. "Bananas," he said. "For the potassium?" I asked. "No," Biff said, "because they taste about the same coming up as they do going down."
And since we’re talking about bodily functions of the output class, here’s a childish joke
Guess who just got back together after a bunch of crap? My buttcheeks.
Try it on a 3rd grader, they’ll treat you like the French treat Jerry Lewis. Next up – and somehow I got my mojo on because this is flowing incredibly well – here’s a story about a French sculptor who created a piece to honor the Americans at D-Day, and the support she received from other French to keep the project moving forward. Thanks Casey, from The Gantry Launchpad for pointing this one out. Who likes roller coasters? In our family, roller coasters ranks right up there with cheese and hugs on the list of important things in life. Five years ago we took a family vacation dubbed “Roller Coasters and Rockets”: a week-long rocket launch sandwiched by multiple day stays at two amusement parks. Ooo baby ooo baby ooo (you can quote me if you'd like). So if you’re like us, you’ll definitely want to stay away from LegoLand in San Diego. Read the sad details over at QandO. Whack-a-Mole. Smack down an elected idiot. Same concept, courtesy of Stephen at Hold the Mayo. My letter is drafted and goes out tomorrow. So where’s all the technology posts, eh? Like a centrifuge spinning faster and faster, the weightier subjects all collect at the bottom. Yeah, I know, whatta crock… Anticipatory Retaliation points the way to a site that shows you how to use your microwave and
The "Great Leader" routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round, the government-controlled media reported.
Take that you running dog capitalist lackeys. Big thanks to Eric of Off Wing Opinion for today's best chuckle. And finally, just because someone must be last, is a nifty story from AEBrain about Coca Cola and the potential to ruin someone’s day in a National Security kinda way. The proposed solution would never work, it makes too much sense. Look for revised (and obscenely expanded) rules to be published soon. So that’s it. Bananas and butt cheeks, Michael Gross and inflatables, and of course the obligatory BDSM reference from

Ha! I knew people would repeat that joke. My husband just rolled his eyes at me when I repeated it to him but we both know he probably told all of his work buddies.

I'd heard of Scotch and milk before, I thought it was a British thing, like Shandy.
